I've got one (and paid a lot more than that for it) and it is very good. I have never had a problem from it. I will be getting a 2nd one if my local OD has one in stock. Not sure yet what I will use it for but I will be getting another one!!! Maybe surge protection for my plasma and battery back up for the Tivo??

Good to hear, I might swing on by Office Depot then.

Holy crap. WTF is up with these UPS's that are going for cheap. Old models maybe? Because im sure theres more then $50 worth of components in a big unit like that.

Bahh MIR means no pricematching on the ones bought a few weeks ago. They totally do that on purpose.

Buy them on different receipts and have one mailed to you and one mailed to a friend or relative. Just make sure you trust the person you are mailing it to.........

Alright...

Just scored THREE (3) at the Office Depot in Nanuet, NY, and they have like 5 left!!

So the cashier told me that as long as I made each purchase separately, that I can get all three rebates.

I looked at the fine-print and it seems that she MISINFORMED ME!!

One rebate per household/business... looks like I cannot rebate all 3. I shoulda checked the rebate before buying but LUCKILY the OD is right across the highway from my job!! :D

She did accept the Office max $10 off coupon on ONE of the, but not the other two.

I'm gonna bring my gf and I'll return one and have her buy it instead... dunno what to do with the 3rd... I guess I'll just return that and only end up with two... I don't know what else to do b/c I need a diff household everytime.

Maybe I'll pay CASH for one and have a relative mail it for me? Pfff... too much hassle... I'd have to stop at an ATM...

Use of the Office Depot rewards program can drop another 5% into your wallet if you meet the minium quarterly purchase requirements.

Signing up for this program also yields a 15% off $75 coupon :)

They have the red brochure right at the cash register.

1. Grab the brochure.
2. Register online. ( http://worklifereward.com )
3. Print your 15% off coupon
4. Go to officedepot, buy your UPS, present your coupon and your rewards brochure (which needs to be scanned).

If all goes well

$99
-15%
-50 rebate
- 5% reward (by mail at end of quarter)
- any reward your credit card company offers
= very nice price on a $200 battery backup device

I bought one of these bx1500 for the $99.99 plus sales tax at store. Regular price was 169.99 at store, online price is 199.99.

If I get the 50 mir back it will cost me 49.99 plus sales tax.

Opps, I did not know about the 15%+5% worklife rewards program. :bang head

They had 3 left in the store.

Seems like a decent deal to me :beer: :D
