Would RecommendI have used APC products for many years and have had a good experience with them, including this latest purchase. Only downside is it was a bit difficult to get the cords/hookups to stay in place when closing up the unit.

Excellent UPS for the price
Would RecommendI got tired of the frequent power spikes in my area and needed an affordable UPS. The Back-UPS ES 550VA lives up to APC's name. I've used several of APC's products in datacenters and would recommend this unit. I had no issues with the battery installation. I did, however, have an issue when moving the unit to different locations in the house. A couple of OFF/ON cycles and it came back online.

right out of the box
Would RecommendRight out of the box, plugged in, and protecting. In an area of frequent power interruptions and spikes we depend on the APC battery backup to protect our electronics. It has proven itself very reliable and we are confident it will safeguard even when we cannot be there. Lightning storms don't even cause problems now. Excellent product!

Would RecommendRight out of the box; I hooked-up the battery terminal as directed, plugged it in, turned it on, and got the "Replace Battery" indications.

New Unit
Would RecommendThe instructions for connecting battery seem to apply to a slightly different model. In step 2 of Connect Battery, I was unable to remove the battery from the unit. With some difficulty, I slid the battery wire onto the battery terminal. Since this is a new unit I have been unable to rate it's performance other than telephone pass through is ok and and other circuits provide power.

Please add mounting holes
Would RecommendGreat device. Please add mounting holes on the back so the UPS can be hung on the wall. The previous model had these mounting holes. We miss them.
