    The ups did great went though multiple outages and protected my equipment great but after less then 6 months it hit the fan hard it started sparking and smoking next to my desk thinking it was about to fry everything I had to run it outside while it was still smoking there was no draw on the ups thankfully but non the less it’s a device meant to protect not start fires very nerve wracking experience especially when you have expensive hardware feeding from it I would normally highly recommend this product but for this particular instance I couldn’t suggest this to anyone until there’s a official fix or explanation as to why this happened

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Have an older version that is still going strong so wanted anither for the tv and ps5. Should have returned it day 1 due to occassional clicking noise but let it go. Flash forward not even six months and come home to a burning smell that traced back to this ups. Sides were hot to the touch. Only had the two items plugged in and well under load (both items were actually off at the time). Contacted chat and they Best Buy set an appointment for geek squad (hour each way from the closest store) only to get there and them tell me they dont work on Ups in the store and to contact the mananufactuter. Waste of a trip. First time I have been completely disappointed in Best Buy. Hopefully the manufacturer stands by the supposed three year warranty.
