APC-UPS Failure Rate

[John Eckart]

I have tried four home/office APC units and all of them fail within a year, sometimes after just a few months.
I went with APC because I thought, for some reason, they were supposed to be good.
Perhaps only their enterprise units are good, I don't know.

I stopped using UPSs when I realized they failed more often than my
utility power.

I had a APC fail. Asked (APC) for help. They refused to give info. Replaced
all APC units with Tripp Lite. No failures so far. Warren
