I'm giving this 5 stars even though I needed to get a replacement. The first one sent over gave me error codes on the display and was obviously defective. I had amazon send me a replacement and i dropped off the defective one. once i got the new one, 2 seconds after installing the new one it was flawless. Even had a storm that made the power go out for a couple seconds happen later that day and it was like nothing ever happened.This is great for anyone that has a gaming computer, i have pc with 2 monitors that are both high refresh rates and under full load in a game i can chug almost 800w of power. This handles it like a champ. If you are someone with a 5090 or some extremely high wattage card that is above 400w you should go for a 1000w+ UPS.A UPS is a must have if you live in an area where weather can turn in an instant or have frequent storms.Set up took 2 seconds, just make sure you flip the battery as it comes disconnected.

Overall good UPS. I have purchased several of the same models. I use them for my computers and also my home theater system (amp, TV, PS5, subwoofer), and other electronics.However, all my APC units have the same defect in the self-testing mode or during a power outage at the house. Although, the defect during self-test is infrequent. Sometimes during self-test, unexpectedly the unit's alarm starts making a racket. I look at the display panel icon which indicates the battery is completely depleted. The first time this happened, I turned off everything connected to the UPS because I thought it would suddenly cut the power to them because the UPS thinks the battery was dead. The same issue could happen if there is a power outage at my house and the UPS switches to the battery power. After, I unplugged the UPS from the wall and cycled the power button off and on, the mysterious "problem" with the "failed" battery was self-corrected. The battery icon then showed it was fully charged: it had gone from full discharge to fully charged in an instant!Now that I know about this defect, when the alarm goes off and the panel indicates the battery is dead: I mute the alarm and leave my equipment on that is connected to the UPS. (There is no a power outage at my house.) It is a false alarm. In about 24 hours, the UPS mysteriously corrects itself and behaves normally. I can disconnect it from the wall socket and my stuff works fine and the battery level shows that it is fully charged but of course starts to show the remaining time left to depletion.
