How many here (In India ) don't use any UPS?

B

I am just a bit curious to know how many of us folks here don't use any UPS for power back up .

Please also mention your reason for not using one along with your location .

How many using a CVT / Servo Stabilizer also along with an UPS?

i am not using anykinda backup

reason - i have a laptop and live in a stable power area

Lol its advisdable to use one and especially in India its a must

You dont know when there is a power faliure and then suddenly your system goes off.

I have had bad experience with it. One of my Mobo also went off due to that. And important is you loose all the data aswell if you are online the cookies are lost or deleated.

So better using an power back up. May be UPS or inverter

I do not use one.
My area power is stabilized & there are no blackouts.

H

i do use a 1kv ups

NO Ups here..

I do not use any UPS, but then most of time I use laptop and the only desktop in my home is meant to work as the data dump. So it is switched on, data extracted and turned off again!

M

i use but of no use cause it is faulty or whatever {got it replaced two times..cant figure out the prob may b with wiring or somthing...anyways} it wont keep my pc running when there is power failure. then i use inverter{microtek sinewave} to power my pc!!!!

no UPS here too

Imo 99%

nops..!!

in my old p3 pc during 2000-2002 i was'nt using UPS but my hard disk crashed 3 times then i decided for my new pc i will use one..

I also dont have ups, but for that i lost my 1 hdd, so thinking to buy one this month, is Microtek double battery ups is good enough?

T

I use UPS

I Also use APC USP .7 years old and still running

though its battery have been changed by me once .

No UPS. Never had the need to.

no ups here , will get one very soon

R

I am not using one

S

1KV here!

I am not using any kind of backup...... :cry:

I use one, though disloyal to my expectations

Have been using APC ups for two years..

T

The original question was to non-users of UPS

But, like others am replying too - I'm using APC UPSes for 7+ years. They are great. Nothing like them.

No UPS

I dont... I use a lappie

H

No ups. My system restarts once or twice a month. Here we have uncut and super stable power for weeks. Though you can compensate for ups by having a good psu with a wide range of input voltage and overvoltage protection.

No UPS here either.Had couple of power cuts but not so frequently.Will think of getting one before monsoon as had a bad experience of surge late last year.

No ups even i have faced frequent power cuts..
but still i dont have any problems with my system.. (by luc

k)

R

i do use one!

I

i don't use !

A

I don't use any.

I bought an APC UPS, some 4.5 years ago with the computer. It blew itself 3 times within the warranty period. I got it replaced, though.

For some 3 years, we have no UPS. It irritates me when the power supply goes off when I'm doing some important work.

A

no UPS
using lappy.

i m not using ups
coz i hav a compuinverter at home ( a inverter with high power with specail quota for desktops )

so if light goes i get backup of around 5-6 hrs on my inverter much better than ups.

and for laptop the battery is always charged

G

one of my pc doesn;t have U.P.S but i have put an Surge protector to it(just like an extension board but with surge filter)

these days reliability is very less so i suggest folks to go for ups or some protection atleast....i have another pc with APC-UPS-.5KVA

I love to suggest UPS for someone and i hate to use UPS for my PC..
I am a PC user from 99 and till now i won't use any UPS....
Its like allergic to my PC... If i connect my PC with UPS it starts responding and show me an error msg says that "Please disconnect me from the damn UPS.." :-D

C

Don't use one coz my area has no powercuts.(I'm in Mumbai btw)

S

I don't use UPS on my Mac.I use one on my PC and one with the other Mac though

I don't use UPS... no need having Inverter....

Me too have inverter but sadly it dosent power my PC as it has to handle 5 tube lights, 6 fans and an AC......WTF

I have a UPS... a 600VA one. I dont like losing my precious work.

...actually, I just like to save my game, whatever im playing before power goes off.
