dissappointed.......2007-05-15

When the power goes off and the back-up battery runs down, the unit shuts down and does not re-start when power comes back on. This leaves everything plugged into it also without power until you return and reset the unit. This makes it pretty useless as a back-up device. You have to be around to turn it back on.

Easy 1-2-3 Setup.......2007-05-14

I received this item from Amazon with free shippingon time, took it out of the box, hooked it up and followed directions to install the software. It took about 15 minutes and has been working fine, ever since. (about 6 weeks)

Difficult to configure.......2007-05-13

I sure hope this works as it comes out of the box because the software on the CD expects it to be connected to a network and has this really annoying Bulldog spash screen that slows down the computer as it comes up on you computer everytime you power up. I finally deleted the software since I couldn't figure out how to talk to the unit over my wireless network. Hopefully it's configured to protect my equipment straight out of the box because I can't check it for battery life or whether it's working or anything else. Must have been designed by a geek that has no concept of how an average 2 user family uses the product. APC wasn't any better.

life saver.......2007-03-19

this is a great product, i bought it after a power surge went throught and unnamed brand and fried my computer.just last night it saved my computer when the power flashed,it did just what it was sapose to do.my computer didnt lose power for a second. i deffinately recomend this to anyone who want to keep there computer from being destroyed.well worth the money.the only issue i had was when i recieved it the first time the box was empty,but a call to amazon fixed that in minutes. and they shiped one out overnight to me in hawaii.

Catchy title for a UPS?.......2007-02-10

There is much to say here good or bad.This is not a exciting product to have or use.
I bought this product to provide an uniteruppted power source to my cordless phone, and to my router.
I am not using it as a UPS for my computer so I do not know how well it works for that purpose.
My hope is that the product will keep me and my family connected for a few hours during a power outage. (I will use my battery powered laptop as my computer.)

The device installed easily and tested flawlessly. As I said earlier I did not use any of the supplied software to monitor my computer for a power outage and switch over, standby, or hibernate. So I do not know how well or even if that software works at all.
