APCUPS 3000VA Smart-UPS Single Phase Online Uninterruptible Power Supply (SRT3000XLA)

Well delivery is terrible; One arrived broken, the second got lost in shipment. Amazon eventually got me a replacement but it took over a month. The broken one (bad expansion slot) is being replaced by APC (these units cannot be returned to Amazon because of the batteries). On the bright side, APC's customer service is good if a bit slow sometimes. If I considered delivery in my rating, this would be a one star review. But that would be a disservice to the product.The good (the SRT1500xla is awesome):-Huge capacity. Powers my workstation, monitors, switch, entertainment center and more for 1h+.-Pristine power. On line power or battery, the SRT is always generating perfect sine wave power.-HID compliant. Just plug it in to your Windows or most Linux systems and PO shutdowns are automatic.-Optional network cards for remote administration available. Not as happy with these but that's a different review ...The bad:-Expensive. But so is replacing your electronics and rebuilding your cyber-life from scratch.-HEAVY!! Lift with your knees. Better yet get someone else to move it!-A little noisy. Because the SRT is active all the time, it has some fan noise.

I live in a rural area and I had a problem with my internet connection going out and coming back on. You could not tell there were any problems with power fluctuations. Thru process of eliminations I found out I had an extremely sensitive piece of equipment in my rack. After installing this in the rack not only do I now have steady internet connection but even when the power goes out in a storm I keep internet as the generator kicks in. So it’s seamless connection even when the power really goes out. Totally worth it. Easy to setup. I am no computer wizard (professionals setup my rack) but I was able to install this myself. I.ve had it for several months now and never had a problem with it yet.

I have received new ones of these units and they come with a metal cover plate over the LCD. This one did not have that and the power cord was tied up with a sharp zip tie. They normally come with a large twist tie. I'm going to see what happens with it but I'm not the happiest I've ever been.

Fast shipping. Well packed. Exactly as described.Device is connected and working.Currently showing 22% usage with 3 poe network switches so I guess I would get about 1-1.5 hours

UPS handle servers really good

Had to replace my last one. It was 5 yrs old. This one seems slightly heavier. Easy to put everything together.

Dead within 3 years.Normally wouldn't be much of an issue, but i can't find any service data. And any data i can find from Schneider website says to "completely replace the UPS" when you have the fault code we do.Switching to a Vertiv unit...

Reasonable product once you get it working but the software and documentation are not the greatest. Documentation is really poorly laid out with no real focused setup section whatsoever. Updating software is kludgy and clearly APC should get some help with usability. Unit works great once you wrangle the hours it takes figuring out how to get it to do basic things like gracefully shut down a server. Not super impressed with my experience speaking to support. Sales was unable to point me to a reseller who actually followed up on anything. Not super impressed so far...
