Nice compact surge protector with battery back up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this is for both surge protection as well as for battery back up for Cable modem, Phone modem & wireless router If you are using a wireless router + an external phone modem like the Vonnage for ex: then the issue is there would be no battery back up for the phone modem. You could still find battery backed-up wireless routers that just covers the router only. If you are using your phone line on your home security system as well then you need to provide a battery back up for the phone modem as well. This unit is good in the sense that it has a strip with battery backed inverter + surge protected output as well another strip with just the surge protection. I have thrown all my home storage network, phone modem, cable modem and the wireless router in this one and so far is working great.

Great for home office set up!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in an area where we get power surges and blackouts every couple of months. With this I don't have to worry that they will mess up my home office desktop and laptop! It gives me enough time to go in and safely shut them down.

Great protection for a reasonable period of time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This does pretty much what it claims. When the electricity goes out, it keeps the computer running for a modest amount of time. Don't believe the software's estimate however, mine says "90 minutes" and I get about 15. However, this is more than sufficient to finish what I'm doing and go through an orderly shutdown. Believe them when they say the battery doesn't last forever - should be replaced every few years to maintain much hold time. One significant disappointment: we live in the country and have a backup generator (power goes out frequently) and the APC won't charge from generator power - must not be clean or steady enough.

power supply coverage, great value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.plug and chug, swapped out an old less powerful supply and no problems at all. Worth the $$ upgrade for the extra plugs slots and backup power.

One of the best!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product at a good price from BestBuy. These surge protectors are long lasting and will let you know when the battery is going out, but they last really a long time.

APC is one of the best on the market for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.APC has been around a long time. Need to be careful where you purchase. Best to buy from a supplier such as Best Buy that moves and sales a lot of these units. Some suppliers sometimes sell older stock and battery shelf life is not the best. Also, watch for sales as you can save quite a bit if your patient.
