I need to replace several UPS units that got blown out due to a big surge. Are the modern APC Smart-UPS units built as well as the older ones? I need to replace 3 Smart-UPS 1250's, 3 Back-UPS 600's, and a Back-UPS 500.
I am considering the SMT1500 to replace the 1250's. I don't like how they did away with the LED bar graphs, but if the rest of the unit is comparable, I'll be happy.
The Back-UPS ones I'm not too concerned with. Anything with the same VA and run time would be fine.
Just looking for advice since I need to file an insurance claim. I am not willing to downgrade in build quality or run time, especially with the 1250's that have served me well. They still operated on battery mode and protected the equipment, even after getting the AC input section blown out.
From what I can tell, the units I was using were all made in the USA. Not sure if they still are though.
