Negative Positive
Title: Lousy Quality Control
Review: I bought this one two years ago at Office Depot for about $75. Here in Florida there is frequent power interruptions and I needed to protect my entertainment center with surge protection. I noticed a few months later when the power button was depressed it did not return so there was no way to turn the unit off or silence those annoying alarms. Yesterday I replaced the battery and took the unit apart to find out why the power button didn't work. Turns out they had the wrong part installed in my UPS. The push button was way too short to contact the switch on the circuit board. APC's commercial products are very good but their consumer line is junk. APC's website says this model has been discontinued so if you are purchasing this, it is already old. Be aware that replacement batteries are $40 and life is about two years. When this battery dies I'm replacing this unit for something better.
Is the review positive or negative?
