I bought 5 of these products and my experience with them has been simply disastrous.

1) on three of them I installed an energy star 55W circular fluorescent dimmable torchiere lamp: all the torchieres attached to the ups failed within a month or so, and in a very strange way. First the lamp would take a few minutes to light up after being turned on, then as every week passes the delay would become longer until it was litteraly hours (up to about 5 hours!) before it would not light up at all. Changing the bulbs did not correct anything. The UPS seems to have over a short period of time permanently damage the transformer inside my fluorescent torchiere, that's the only explanation possible. VERY IMPORTANTLY: I own 5 others torchiere connected directly to a normal outlet (WITHOUT a ups) and they are still performing perfectly. So in conclusion: the SUA750Xl APC ups PERMANENTLY destroyed 3 fluorescent dimmable torchiere in a matter of 1 to 2 month by simply connecting them to it. I don't know what that UPS does to the current as it passes through the machine, but the current coming out is simply not a normal current as far as this experience clearly shows.

2) one of my ups simply exploded in my living room! A huge flash of fire went through the two sides (with little holes for aeration). Terrified, I disconnected the unit took my fire extinguisher in case it got worse and immediately called APC. They simply told me not to worry, that these things happens, to try to restart the (now still fuming! as I explained them) unit and if it does not restart, then trow it away. They never wanted me to resent to them, or do any sort of quality control security check, or do any more enquiry whatsoever. The ups was very close to my curtain: the flash of fire could simply have light it up and, if I had not been present in the room, burn my house killing possibly sleeping occupants, but apc considers this explosion "normal" and not out-of-the-ordinary for their machines!

3) one of a brand new unit has a smoky "smells" whenever it is turned on (even though it appears to function well) so much so that I cannot stay in the same room as it is and have to keep it in the basement (actually I am not using it anymore). I didn't even bother calling APC for this: surely if an exploding APC is normal for them, a "subjective" smell for smoke is something they will just laught at.

This is a decent early recording of Eighteen Visions. If you're like me, their newer stuff is a big disapointment. This cd is pretty good, but Vanity is better. After vanity it's all down hill for these guys.
