That would explain the bad mounthing APC's lower-end models get, I suppose.
They might be that bad, but the lower-end modules of most other vendors
could be just as bad and still get less complaints.

That said, I have done a search on APC's lower-end models, and I would steer
clear from them just like Alvin said.  But I have already made my point that
I would steer clear from *any* low­end model from *any* manufacturer.
