rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author engineer2 - Have had the Tripp Lite Internet750U for about 2 years at work. A few other co-workers had it too. A UPS should be benign and seemlessly kick in during a power failure. It worked fine at first except it would beep annoyingly during any power glitch...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cl21977 - I had this unit for approximately 15 months before my first power failure, thus it was FAR out of warranty by the time I discovered it didn't do SQUAT. I've encountered two surges/outages in the past 2 months, and both times it has totally failed to do...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author red_mini - Looks great but doesn't deliver on its promises. The box states "Typical Runtime in Minutes Desktop PC with LCD Monitor = 100". In my case the unit ran for 15 minutes before giving out. Did I mention the PC with it's 15 inch LCD monitor was sitting...
