    Quiet but short lifespan

    It is very quiet and has protected my devices during a number of power cuts. The main drawback is the rather bright green light on the sides (I covered it with black tape as there is no setting to turn it off). That said, I was expecting a lifespan of at least five years based on what I had read. But it only lasted 3 years and 4 months (looking at the comments, this is a criticism that many buyers make). So OK, but could do better!

    Good and replaceable battery!

    This is the 2nd identical model I've bought to protect against power cuts: the 1st for my NAS, this one for my main PC.
    No problems on the 1st one: just the battery out of order well before the 5 years indicated in the manual.
    The original battery (12V 9Ah) is not only easily replaceable --> look on YouTube for a tutorial "APC 1200 UPS Sealed Failed Battery Replace and Upgrade", but you can replace it with a larger AGM08, 12V 14Ah, to gain autonomy.
    All you need is a long-shafted screwdriver!

    Works perfectly, but brief instructions

    Perfect for protecting a gaming computer + screen. However, I found the instructions a little sketchy and had to go online to find out how to set it up.

    ridiculous lifespan.

    Doesn't work after 2 years and 3 months, battery fault plus other faults, it's expensive if you have to change it every 2 years.
    The lifespan is ridiculous.

    Unreliable and no after-sales service

    I bought this UPS to protect my workstation. It broke down after 2 and a half years. I tested the battery myself and it's OK. The problem is therefore with another component of the UPS. After contacting the after-sales service (Schneider Electric), they informed me that their out-of-warranty returns policy for "this range of products" did not include repairs. So I end up with a 189€ inverter that's broken down and ready to be thrown away, perhaps because of a burnt-out capacitor. It's a shame, because as long as it was working, I was completely satisfied with its performance.
