    APC makes good UPS products, but I wouldn’t buy this particular model. What isn’t clear from the description is that this PARTICULAR model doesn’t support connection to your computer via a USB cable like most of the other APC models so that you can monitor its status. Why do you need this feature you ask? I bought this to provide a graceful shutdown for my RAID NAS after the battery ran-out so that I didn’t have to have a long startup every time the power went out. I had to return this when I realized it didn’t have that feature. Buy the 450G or 550G ($69 on this site) instead which both support this. Apparently the older version of this model (350R) DID support it. They should make this clearer on this web site.

    1. Amazon shipping was very fast (arrived the next day, PA-> NJ)

    2. The 6 outlet is actually 3. That is, 3 with UPS, the other 3 is just

    serge protection. My usage is for computer work station protection during

    summer time’s short power outage (like 2 seconds). So, the computer work

    statation needs 1 UPS outlet. The computer monitor plugs into the

    serge protection outlet so that not to overload the system. So far,

    there have been about half a dozen short power outages and the unit is functional.

    3. this unit, unlike my prior one, features a removable battery.

    That may help in recycling, even though the stated purpose is

    for easy battery replacement.

    4. All lead acid batteries will eventually die. My prior unit lasted for

    about 5 years. I don’t know how long this one can last.

    Small battery, useful for surviving electrical storms and brown outs. Not intended for long term use.

    A severe storm came through and damaged the hard drive in our DVR as the electricity went off then on several times in the space of a minute. I called the manufacturer of the DVR and asked what I should do to prevent future storm damage, and was told that I should get a UPS which will act as a parachute to gently allow the DVR to shut down normally. A small unit was recommended, since only a few minutes of backup are needed to protect the DVR. The APC 350VA unit is well suited to this duty, and is reasonably priced.

    Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2F66UAWXO8TMD I certainly understand why some people are upset that the APC ES-350 does not support Power Management software However, I would like to show that even without Power Management support it can be very useful as a battery back-up for your home entertainment system.

    I love my TiVo TCD652160 HD Digital Video Recorder so much so that I purchased a Western Digital My DVR Expander 1 TB eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive WDG1S10000VN (Black) to supplement the memory. Unfortunately, I live in an area that is prone to power outages and power “flickers”. While I can not do much with the power outages the power flickers drive us crazy. Each time the power flickers out Tivo unit must completely reboot (which takes about 10 minutes) so not only do you miss the shows you are watching it also interrupts any recordings that are taking place.

    While the APC ES-350 does not help me with power outages (the battery back-up is only good for a minute or two) it does save the day when have a flicker. Now please note, I do not have my television hooked up to the back-up, so still see the the TV flicker but now I do not have to wait for the Tivo to reboot. Could I hook my TV to the APC 350… maybe although it would likely draw too much power to be of any use… for that you would want to consider a bigger battery back-up (such as APC BE550R 550VA Back-UPS ES 8-Outlet Battery Backup System but it even it may be too small).

    Other notes

    - 6 total outlets – 3 provide battery back-up and 3 offer just surge protection

    - Has a very loud audible beep once you lose power

    - 200W of total power – in terms of computer equipment it will power a desk top computer with a 17″ LCD screen for 7 minutes

    - Does offer telephone line protection

    Final Verdict – It seems to be a perfect choice as a power stand-by for our home entertainment center.
