I've never had any problems with APC units, and I definitely recommend them over cheaper brands to others. I remember one incident where a lightning strike took out half the components in the unit. It couldn't keep the servers powered for that, but at least none of them were damaged, and the APC itself was back to work once the damaged components were replaced.
