I've been using APC devices for the past 10 years, but after I went through 3 of them in a 5 year period I decided to give another brand a try. I settled on the Eaton 3S 850VA due to the size and features offered. It's certainly a smaller form factor, but all the plugs face inwards, which if you have a lot of devices with the brick-style power plugs with wings and the bottom-fed cable, then it doesn't work as they don't fit :( Otherwise, if you're using a standard "jug"/IEC plug then it's fine.
