    With random power outages it's good to have something to keep your PC from powering off the wrong way. Keep your hard drive safe with extra power so you can shut it down properly.

    This APC Backup UPS has served me well. I have frequent power dips in my house e, and there have not been any issues with the electronics that I have connected to this device. I would definitely recommend this product.

    Bought 2 of these for computer backup. They were on sale at Best Buy. Good backups. They don’t take up too much room. Now our WiFi won’t go down when the electricity goes out!

    These work fine -- I like this form factor than the older model too. And I like this model better than the 425VA model because you can replace the battery on this one, where the other one you can't.

    these are great, with a full desktop + 2 monitors, give about 10-20 minutes of turn off time which is just enough to save your work and turn off your pc in case of a electric problem.

    Works, and has a super annoying beep

    They lie and say you can turn off the alarm that lets you know the power is out. This is the dumbest feature ever. I can tell the power is out by nothing electric working in my house. I do not need an annoying beep to remind me and rub it in. The instructions claim you can hold down the power for less than 2 seconds to turn off the alarm. Doing so also tends to turn off the UPC defeating the purpose of why I bought the device, to manage the brief 1-sec power glitches that reset my cable modem. So now I have a beep telling me the power went out, and still waiting 5 minutes for my router to re-boot. For this price why not have an alarm switch? All phones do.

      Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. I am sorry to hear that you are unable to mute the unit. This unit would have the feature to mute it though. The unit offers a quick mute option by shortly pressing the power button for less than 2 seconds during an alarm. There is also the option to turn off the on battery alarm completely. With the UPS turned on, you can configure the on battery indicator modes by holding down the power button and waiting for the third beep. At the third beep, the power button will cycle red/green. Release the power button and its color will indicate the mode it is in. You can mute the on battery alarm permanently by pressing the power button so the mode selector is flashing red. Once the mode as been selected please wait 5 seconds for the settings to be saved to the UPS. If you are still running into issues muting the unit please reach out to an APCbySchneider for further assistance. We offer email and chat services through our support site.

    I have several UPS back-ups and are worth the money during power outages. Replacement batteries are a bit high but, watch out for the ones that have to be sent back for battery replacement.

    APC has shown to be an affordable solution for uninterrupted battery power; it might not be as cheap as other brands but nor is the most expensive . Compared to cyber power, this brand has longer run time.

    Easy to set up and use. Has a smaller footprint than my previous battery back-up & surge protector which is always a plus. And outlets are on the side which I prefer.

    Have not yet had need to test the U part of the UPS, but it seems to work otherwise. Only compliant is why these vendors seem unable to space the plugs out. Almost always have 1 or more plugs unusable because they seem unwilling to improve their designs.

    I bought this UPS for keeping power to the voice and data modem when power goes out. The power in my neighborhood goes out all the time. The wind blows, the power goes out.

    Best company around, these are a life saver and better then any insurance you can purchase. This model is great for small computer setup and always works flawless. Everything is plug and play 2 min setup.
