Experience with APC:  every one died emitting smoke

Experience with Tripp Lite:  five have been in daily use for years;
finally had to replace the batteries

Experience with Eaton/Powersonic (new owner of Tripp Lite): had to
scrap an expensive sinusoidal output unit because a proprietary
component failed and PowerSonic discontinued support.
