Doesn't turn on fully

I've found that they don't reliably stabilize until the voltage drops below 105V. There are other devices with multiple transformer taps (Tripp Lite LC1200) that work much better with a small incremental network voltage improvements. I used to use these APC blocks everywhere, but after _actually_ having trouble and having a chance to test them, it turned out that they don't actually do anything. Instead I have to recommend tripp lite devices.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Null

Inexpensive solution: power strips and surge protectors

I'm getting a tattoo in an old building that's being worked on and lately the performance has been fluctuating so much that my machine is visibly running higher or lower than it is should . be, sometimes multiple times during a session. It is clear that this is a problem! I plugged it into an outlet that I plugged my surge protector into, plugged my surge protector into it, and then my floor lamp and power adapter into the surge protector. Today's more complex tattoo went smoothly! Zeroโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • I'll get back to you

It works best in surge protector

Nothing to say. I plugged it in and hope my voltage is adjustable. I have a computer, tv and entertainment hooked up to it and it works fine. I'm approaching the peak power of 600W and everything works fine. UPDATE: September 7th, 2015 The power went out for about 8 seconds and this bad boy just saved my computer, tv, ALL modem router. He did EXACTLY what he had to do. I noticed that my air conditioner was sounding odd, and then I saw the bottom light on the APC unit come on with a clickโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • So far so good

Excellent regulation but be careful.

I want to hate this thing for frying the battery in my UPS, but it's completely my fault. This thing does a great job, but be careful with the voltage settings on the back. This thing was switched to 127V by default; I wasn't paying attention and after a week it was definitely too much for my UPS. let me come back I received this item because the AVR in my UPS was clogged due to bad electricity in the apartment. So I wanted a stand alone device to power that part between the wall and my UPS soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

RE: The only show in town

Automatic voltage regulator APC LE1200 Line-R 1200VA arrived on the promised delivery date in excellent condition. Considering the size and weight, the price is quite reasonable. Two year guarantee. The APC controller was larger and heavier than expected, which bothered me. Will it fit on my computer desk? I recently discovered that my Chinese made Nobsound 6P1 tube HiFi amplifier requires 110 volt Chinese AC power. I've run it on 120 volts for the past few years and I'm glad it didn't burnโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Communication with the seller

Peace of mind for gigs with poor unregulated power supplies.

This device is very good for its price! Highly recommended. I use it for my acoustic setup driving signal processors and mixer. Works well when used correctly. Building is cheap. Revain was supposed to ship them in big boxes with pillow packing material. MY FIRST COMES WITHOUT PACKAGING AND WAS DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING. My replacement part was intact but packed right away without the pillow. The only difference is that shipping has been expedited, so there is less loading and handling involvedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • something different

The replacement unit works very well and APC service is responsive

I have had this unit for a few weeks now. I checked the output with a multimeter. It stabilizes the output voltage as specified using a selector switch on the back of the unit. At the moment I set it to 120V, it's quiet. I almost bought a cheaper device from a lesser known brand. But numerous reviews say that these devices were noisy. Well, APC's Line-R doesn't make much noise at all. My only complaint is that the device smelled like hot plastic for a few days after first use. After that wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great price
