    APC - BACK- UPS 450VA! Good capacity, number of outlets, I also like it because the outlets are located on the top and that makes it easy to place behind the desk and takes up less space

    This has already been saving me from losing my work and keeping the WiFi on during the storms in town. Also, saving my playstating, Mac, and PC from any power surges and giving me plenty of time to turn them off.

    Great Compact UPS/Battery Backup

    Compact enough to place on a shelf. But powerful enough to provide uninterrupted power to your most important low wattage devices. I have my modem, router, and network attached storage plugged into mine. And still have room for additional devices. Also means that in a power outage, I'll still have Internet.

    I already have one, but when lightning struck near my house and this surge protector/battery backup held its ground against the phenomenon, I literally switched all my surge protectors to this one. The only downside it’s that the light of the power button cannot be dimmed or turn off

    For the price and what I need, you can't beat this item! I just want to prevent my computers from crashing if the electricity were to cut off all of a sudden, which seems to happen a few times a year (storms, car wrecks, etc.) I need to plug in my PC, LCD screen, bose speakers, and my gaming console. I bought two to serve the different areas in my upstairs living rooms.

    Bought the battery backup due to power fluctuations due to hurricane María aftermath in the Island. So far it has been a superb purchase taking care of variation in voltage. Features have been helpful identifying current changes.

    Battery Backup Tested

    APC - Back-UPS 450VA 6-Outlet Battery Back-Up and Surge Protector The only way I knew to review and test this UPS was to plug a few items into it and then pull the plug to the UPS and analyze the results. The unit is not overly large or heavy and has six outlets in which devices can plug into. I had 5 devices during the test: Cable Modem Router Wireless Network Extender 17" Dell Laptop HP Duplex Laser Printer All items were plugged into the UPS, I printed 5 pages from the laptop. The power lasted for 20 minutes with power to spare. With the items plugged into it, there would be enough time to finish a vital function like a needed report, save files and power down the pc, and close the internet equipment until the primary power would be restored. This UPS did what it was designed to do concerning back up power. As far as surge protection, I am not aware of how to test for that. This product worked to my satisfaction. I would recommend it to anyone who is working from home or anyone who would like to utilize this type of product. Often, the power blinks or goes out for a few seconds. This unit powered my office home equipment for 20 minutes and there was still power to spare.

    Great Battery Backup for the Home Network

    The APC Home Network Battery Backup UPS with 450VA/255 Watts and surge protector is one of those devices where you just set it and forget it until it's needed when the power goes out or when there is a voltage drop. I have this device plugged into my home networking equipment composed of the internet service provider’s internet gateway and my wireless router. After I powered it up and charged the battery to the recommended 24 hours, I tested it by unplugging the unit and seeing how long the battery backup lasted. For my use case, I was able to get around 1 hour 45 minutes, which is plenty to finish off whatever I’m doing on the internet and shutting down properly. The APC Home Network 450VA just plain works. Another great feature of this unit is that it is compact and unobtrusive measuring 9.98” L x 4.13” W x 5.51” H. There are also a total of 6 outlets, 4 of which offer battery backup plus surge protection, and the remaining 2 are surge protectors only. The 4 outlets are generously spaced apart to allow you to plug in wall warts. It even comes with wall mount holes. You’ll need to hang on to the included user manual because it provides valuable information on what all the different battery indicator modes and status indicator lights and alarms mean. An improvement would be for these modes and indicators to be placed as a stickered label on the unit itself for quick reference in case the user manual is misplaced. I highly recommend this device to protect your valuable home networking equipment and to provide the extra power to your network during blackouts.
