APC is my favored brand, if not "the favored brand here."
One of the main reasons I moved away from APC a (very) long time back was (at the time) their refusal to allow for muting of the alarms. I remember getting an email from them saying "no, they cannot be muted; we feel it is important for you to be aware of when there is a power failure".
I think they've since corrected that and APC units do allow for muting.
Yes, if you have a bunch of them (as I did in a former medical office) they can make quite a racket beeping. Now, however, with just one in my home office (and one down in the basement for the Internet modem and router), the beep tells me it's working. No beep told me my current one is dead.
Just ordered a replacement 1500va CyberPower. May not need all the 1,000W, but I also have a bunch of audio equipment running sometimes as well as my 2015 iMac, extra 27" monitor, and several HDs.
Thanks for the advice!
