Very good unit. It does its job well, we will recommend it for heavy use.

I use this as a backup power source for my pellet stove. If the power goes out when the stove is on, you get a smoky mess since it relies on a fan for combustion and exhaust. I chose to go the APC route instead of the stove-branded unit - I feel more comfortable with a company that knows this business well. I could not be happier with it - fast switching, charges the battery fast after the outage too. Ultimately simple as well - the switch is either off, or automatic or charge-only. Set it and forget it!

I brought one of these down to Costa Rica to deal with those unexpected power outages that happen on a semi regular basis. I hooked it up to two 100 amp hour deep cycle batteries. This will run my lights, electronics, and short use of tools for a day or more when I leave equipment with higher energy draws (like refrig, pumps, washer, dryer, air conditioning) off the same power out electrical line. When set to operate automatically, the inverter takes over and supplies 110v electricity when grid electricity goes off. This unit will also regulate the voltage when voltage drops low or runs high. The batteries are automatically recharged when the grid electricity comes back on. Great product for good competitive price.
