Functioning as intended
Quite loud. Sometime can hear it over the running PC, not to mention at night.
It is hot.

It can be OK when powering a large load, e.g. desktop PC / NAS etc. But that wasn't my use-case.
When powering a small power load (e.g. wifi router, 20W) it lasts only 1.5 hours, whereas the paper-weaker CyberPower VP1200ELCD-FR lasts about 4 hours. The beeping cannot be turned off and shows nothing.
Strong performance at full load
Robust processing, nice design
USB data link, recognizes normal OS and shows % charge
Configuration software for Windows only (it was not possible to use VirtualBox from OSX or Wine under Linux)
When dropped, it beeps 4 times every 30 seconds, impossible to turn off the beeping
It has no indicators, only a power button (no display, no charge indicator, nothing)

endurance, but that's expected
quite usable connection for monitoring
the smell, it lasted almost a month before it stopped smelling
apc software is not bloatware, but I would have expected better, much better.
after about 3/4 year I found out, when it went down, that it just didn't work, even to the point that it almost took out the electronics. the flashlight died. I bought a new one, but in the meantime I replaced a new one, which hasn't had a problem for more than 10 years (with one battery change). I'll try again to see if it works
the LEDs shine incredibly dim, need to be re-glued
the best part is that when I put the USka to the test, still with the bad flashlight, it pretended that everything was ok: D

simple set-up
reliable and mainly verified manufacturer (this is the third UPS from APC)
the first two weeks it really smells (a fault of overheating, or worse plastics? )

It broke just after the warranty expired. I do not recommend it.

Do not buy this series of APC. I trusted APC because of their reputation; this was a mistake. The transformer is on 24/7 (which is bad), and the fan only runs in certain cases (this is not good either); this is cooking the batteries, badly cutting their lifespan. The batteries cannot be replaced without voiding the warranty and complex technical operations. The APC software keeps reporting "batteries OK" even if they are bad; their tests are useless. Mine stopped being able to take over even 80W of load after 2 years and 1 day - conveniently just outside the warranty period. If the power cuts out, the APC dies immediately. For the cost of this horrible cost-cutting design you can get much better Eaton or Cyberpower units. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Compact
Horrible battery life
Untrustworthy software
Not user serviceable
