Installed smoothly with no problems
Installation went well and took about 1 minute to complete (after download) on my 1 1/2 year old Win 7 machine . Previous version did not record power outages of only a few seconds. Hopefully this has been corrected in this version, but no big deal if it hasn't. I have used APC UPS's for 15 years and would recommend them as a high quality, cut above the rest, UPS solution.

Perfect timing
This purchase was a great choice. A week after I installed the backup my electricity went out. I didn't even know it until the backup started to send out its alert and saved all the work I had been doing on my computer. I love the way it has all the information I need right on the front so that I can monitor everything conveniently.

Very Helpful
Where we are located, we loose power often. With the UPS Pro 700, I never have to worry about loosing a document or anything else when our power goes out. Great product and the digital display really helps us see how much energy we are really using.

Okay but...
I just installed the BR700G as a replacement for an SU620NET. The BR700G seems like a nice unit - I'll know better over the next year - but I was disappointed to find that it is not supported by PowerChute Business Edition software. I installed Personal Edition on the user PC, but I have lost visibility of that system's UPs status.

Very good UPS but...
The capacity and technical specifications for this unit are excellent for a small UPS. The plug design is suboptimal as it does not allow for small transformer plugs to be placed adjacent to each other. This limits the actual number of devices which can be connected to the unit. A previous model BP700UC had better plug placement.

Home network UPS
This review is for a BR700G APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 700. I've used APC for years at home and at work. This device continues the solid performance to which I'm familiar. It replaces a 500kVa unit with an expired battery. I logged onto the APC website to order just the battery, and couldn't pass up the trade up deal on this 700 kVa unit. While I've connected the cable to shutdown my server, I won't test this until the next area power outage (at least twice a year). No noise, no heat, just quiet, standby power.

This is the 3rd APC UPS I've had and I've never had a problem other than batteries finally wearing out. I got this one a week before SuperStorm Sandy and it gave me time to shut everything down safely when the power went out. I'd never be without one for my home office!

frequent power outages
Where I live, the power fluctuates frequently. After spending the money for an iMac, I didn't want it to end up being fried by a power surge or lose my data in an outage. I bought my first backup in 2002 and replaced it recently when the battery finally gave out. The trade in program was the main reason I decided to deal with APC and not a retail outlet and I'm very glad I went that route. The new Backup works every bit as well as the old one and looks like it might last another 8 years.

Helpful features
I bought the APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 700 to use on my home network including my computers, security system, video cameras and phone system in case of a power outage. I perform monthly tests to see how long my network will stay active by removing power. The 700 meets and exceeds my requirements of supplying power for my network with over 30 minutes of battery backup power.

Display information is equal to higher wattage APC UPS.
Battery capacity / size of this model is 1/2 of the older wattage model, uses one 8 amp/hr 12 volt battery. The older model had two 8 amp/hr in series to supply 24 volts.

Excellent Power Protection
Purchased this UPS when my old one finally rolled over and died. Three days after installation, this area experienced a very heavy, wet snow event. Utility power flickered and surged for well over an hour at my location. I have my computer, monitor and DSL modem plugged into the UPS portion. Everything continued to work normally. The UPS was clicking and maintaining a constant voltage. Over half of the modems in the county blew their programming - the provider techs spent Thanksgiving through the weekend reprogramming at great expense to the provider. My modem was fine, thanks to the UPS. I checked the UPS operation during a planned utility power outage when the house went to generator power. Again, the voltage stayed clean and fairly constant. To say I am pleased with the unit is a supreme understatement. Thanks for adding AVR technology to your products. It really saved my equipment.

I bought two units to replace two APC backups that were 5 years old and had battery issues. I was pleased with the older units (but would have liked a little longer battery life). We had a near miss lightning strike and no damage to the connected equipment. These replacements are dynamite. Beautiful looking piece of equipment. Like the availability of stats on the front and also the ability to turn them off. The buttons are a little small for my big fingers but I am managing. Overall congratulations to your engineers and designers.

Good backup device
I just bought the Back-UPS BR700G to replace a 10 year old BP500CLR. This new unit looks well designed. I like the graphical display and the ability to adjust the sensitivity for computer loads.
I would add that the AC outlets are positioned a bit close to each other. As a result, I was unable to use one of the outlets. Another, larger plug covered it up. It also has less outlets than my prior unit.

You may need the extra output
I'm running a Mac Pro (desktop) which I recently upgraded with a new ATI graphics card which draws more current than the original; an unexpected consequence was getting an overload warning on my 500 VA UPS when the new card fan kicks in, so I replaced the 500 VA unit with this 700VA unit, which works like a charm. My only suggestion for improvement would be clearer user instructions - you can figure them out after several reads (you're probably going to want to dim the display screen for example), but larger print and clearer text would be helpful. Otherwise no complaints

Great so far - impressed
Replaced an older UPS for home desktop and large monitor. Loved the idea of monitoring software and LCD screen display on UPS. (Shows 96 watts / 30 min). Came with a detailed QA test taped to the unit, which made me feel like APC knows what they are doing. No problems with battery charging and setup. Replaceable battery is a big plus for me. Looks like this is a winner!

Poor Replacement for LS700
Found these UPSs to be very dissapointing.
Not enough battery-side outlets for my client's accessories and the power management, enabled by default, may shut done your system without warning. Should be disabled by default.
Front Panel is pretty but pointless unless your going to monitor your system from the front panel instead of via Powerchute.
Currently reviewing UPSs from other manufacturers such as Eaton.
Not impressed with the lack of legendary reliablity after having to replace over 100 LS500/LS700s due to connecting/disconnecting error which inevitably will cause your UPS to be useless

It's very well worth the few extra bucks for the display, which provides, on several screens you can aslect, lots of useful information, such as time to battery exhaustion under the current load, the current load, voltages, etc. I've used APC products for about 10 years; however, I just received this product a month ago.

It arrived with a broken battery door cover. I suspect some rough handling during shipment. The packaging possibly contributed as it is not very protective. The actual damage is purely cosmetic and the unit works fine. I have previously bought several replacement batteries and also upgraded through trade-in. I will continue to purchase APC UPS items from this company.

Good, but needs improvement
Good specs and pricing, and have had good luck with APC products previously. Appears to be working OK. A few problems: (1) User manual needs improvement: refers to software available online, but APC does not provide software for Mac OS X; (2) User manual has sometimes confusing terminology, needs editing by an inexperienced user; (3) cannot plug my disk drive transformer into either backup outlet directly - one is too close to the master outlet, and the other is too close to the power cord - I had to use a cube tap to space the transformer away from the chassis.

EXCELLENT, WORTH THE MONEY
Bought this Back UPS Pro 700 about six months ago and it has worked flawlessly. I've made the mistake of buying other brands before but every time I do, I get burned. During an ice storm a few years ago I had to rush across town and buy 10 units. The store only had 5 APCs left so I got all 5 plus 5 other mixed brands. All 5 of the APC's are still working to this day, all 5 of the others DIED within about 6 months with different problems. Worse than losing the battery backup was it crashing my equipment every time it failed. If you are considering another company, better read reviews.. you'll see APC is really the only good name.

I needed to replace an older unit that was protecting a new entertainment system. APC offered a good trade in, trade up deal. I have 3 Backups Pro's. They have done their jobs for a very long time.

not the best design for plugging in DC packs
Plugs orientation makes it impossible to plug in DC packs without some sort of maneuvering with receptacle flippers... or a power strip add on... which kind of defeats the purpose

OK but insufficient for the NVidia 3090 GPU
Nice UPS but insufficient to provide backup power to my Alienware R11 Desktop i9/Nvidia 3090. Had to use a stronger one. The Pro 700VA would beep and had a light flash when I started gaming and put a load on the NVidia 3090 GPU.

Peace of Mind = Priceless
I love the peace of mind that this allows knowing that my work will be protected from power surges and outages. Once I rewired everything (take your time and read the directions) and installed the software, I can now see how much load the battery will carry in the event of an outage and a lot of other useful information. I have three monitors, the computer, and my internet modem plugged into the back up outlets (using one strip extension) and I can see that the wattage fluctuates between 84 up to 100 watts. I can add more up to 420 watts but would rather have the extra battery time to finish my work and shut down. Don't hesitate to protect your computer and work efforts!

So So
The APC works fine for providing a battery in case of power loss but the software provided to automatically shut down the PC fails to load. An internet search reveals this is a common fault.
