Does a good job
1 of 1 found this helpful I had an earlier version of the ES 700 for 10 years, but it has lately started to get noisy, so I needed to replace it. Given it worked well for such a long time, my choice of replacement was another ES 700
I am running a desktop PC with 2 printers, and 2 scanners plus 2 modems and wifi, so the ability of the ES 700 to connect to 8 appliances is very useful (4 of the sockets are on battery backup, the other 4 are surge protected but no battery back up)
My desktop PC is not a high end machine, but the system includes a 20" monitor, 2 modems connecting to the internet and an internal wi-fi router, all of which need to stay live if we get a power cut. We are in a country area and it is common to get micro power cuts lasting only a second or two. With the UPS connected the PC and routers run without missing a beat when these micro power cuts happen.
If there is a serious power cut, the UPS will keep the system powered for 15 minutes. This is long enough to manually save and exit from work, and to manually shut the computer down. If the power cut happens when the PC is unattended, the UPS will keep the system running until there is only 5 minutes of battery power left, and at this point it will shut the computer down automatically.
It is easy to set up, and the Powerchute software supplied allows for the customisation of shut down parameters etc. (this needs a connection from the UPS to a USB 2 socket on the PC - a cable is supplied with the ES 700)
The battery supplied is a lead acid type and should last about 5 years. It is the same type used in burglar and fire alarms and replacements are readily available
The instruction manual supplied is OK but could be more informative. The on screen Powerchute program is easy to use

Solves the problem of the line welding together in the strimmer head
1 of 1 found this helpful My strimmer gets heavy use and I always had problems with the line jamming because it had welded itself together (I assume because the strimmer head gets very hot and melts the nylon line). I found this line advertised as being particularly resistant to welding and I bought a 180 metre reel some years ago. I have used almost all of the reel and have recently bought another one the same. It has solved the welding problem and I get many fewer line jams that I used to. Other than that it works as well as any other strimmer line.

Good for mobile phone - but might not suit a sat nav
The unit is quite well made especially given the cheap price, and it does the job well. It holds tight in the CD slot, and the adjustable clamps give a firm grip on a smartphone. However, the thickness of the phone etc should be no more than about 15mm to ensure the jaws have a firm grip. My Tom Tom sat nav is 20mm thick, and the jaws would not grip it securely
