URGENT: Are there two different Smart-UPS 700 models??

[Leo V]

I've just ordered what "should" be the new APC Smart-UPS 700VA model, part number SU700NET. I got it new for a somewhat suspicious $249+shipping (pricewatch).

Is there some old APC supply with a similar name that I wasn't aware of? I know there exist some discontinued APC supplies, could this be one of them? I still have time to cancel my order, please reply soon if you know!

Thanks so much!

Not that I know of. I've got that exact model sitting right next to me which I purchased a couple years ago.

That's what I'm suspecting...I think they used to have 450, 700, and 1150 Smart-UPS models, and now they have 420, 620, 700, 1000 and up. I could be mistaken though.

Nice backup unit!

APC had the 700, 700XL, 700NET, 700XLNET, 700RM (rack mount) & 700RMNET. You should get whatever you ordered but make sure you dont get gouged on shipping.

The Smart-UPS line had a 250 up to a 5000 (only $3,500) drool...

Whew, thanks! They said shipping would only cost $10-15 from New Jersey to Maryland. I splurged because ~$260 shipped seemed like a steal for this unit, and its line conditioning for my analog equipment seemed top-of-the-line.

Line conditioning, voltage regulation, surge protection & filtering are a few other reasons to use a UPS.
