Annoyingly, the software would pop up a few warning dialogs upon waking the PC from sleep, saying 'connection lost' / 'connection recovered' - but I was able to disable this by digging into the weirdly-complicated preferences.

The Eaton software for Windows was a bit hard to find on their website I ended up downloading the Windows 7 version after being unable to find one Windows 10, but it works as expected for the most part.

They have already saved us several times from short power outages (PG&E!!!). Overall Review: We purchased two of these units to protect workstation PCs for our small technology business. It's long enough for where I tend to place it at my own desk both at work and home.Ĭons: - Eaton forces you to sign up for an account in order to download their Windows drivers! They're also much slimmer and lighter than the 3105 that came before it.Īlso, 3 year warranty on the unit AND the battery? I'll take that.Ĭons: USB cable length is a tad shorter than I'd like, but that gripe primarily applies to user workstations that I cover at work where facilities put in rather IT unfriendly desks. The 750VA handles the power output of both my work and desktop machines fine and provides more than enough power to allow me to gracefully power down. Unlike the 3105, these naturally interface with Windows 7 and 8 without any additional software (but you can install it if you want) and I have mine set to hibernate my machine in case of a power outage. I liked them so much I purchased one for home as well due to heavy power outages in my area due to old trees taking out the lines on a regular basis in storms.

We also use them for our AutoCAD users' workstations, and they perform well in that environment. Pros: We use these Eaton 3S models as the replacements to the Powerware 3105 where I work (I'm an 'IT Technician' at my company, which really means I'm Help Desk/PC Technician/System Administrator/Network Administrator) and I use one to protect my work Precision T1650.
