    I have several of these smaller UPS. I only trust APC. These models are great for keeping a TV protected or a wifi modem/router protected...even a PC. I wish the battery was easily replaceable, since once it dies you must discard it.

    Stolid Back Up UPS

    I have several of these strategically placed around the house. And, every time we have even the briefest of power failures, they kick in and save the various devices plugged into them. The desktop computers are particularly vulnerable - and these back up UPS' have saved the day many times. Perfect size, perfect back up for home use.

    quick and dirty battery backup for your workhorses

    The local utility company (GRU) is nearly 2 billion (yes, with a "B") dollars in debt. The money was wasted on "alternative" energy projects that didn't generate a lick of power, now rolling blackouts, brownouts, and phase disruptions are commonplace, almost unheard of when I was younger, city can't emma' pay the interest on the money owed. Maybe for the average household, this may not be a problem, but I rely heavily on computers, consoles, and monitors for my job and personal security and when the power fluctuates everything goes kerflooey. Started installing UPCs everywhere and this was a little one I put on a monitor/ARC system for the master bedroom. Although not the strongest one out there, it has sure helped, eliminating the need to reboot/restart everything weekly to keep the system operating normally. These battery backups made by APC, beep (quite obnoxiously) when they kick on, giving you the opportunity to affect a soft shutdown so all is not lost and the system can be brought back up relatively painless. Oh, if you push the power button twice, real quick, it will stop alerting you to the power loss (i.e., stop beeping), didn't know that until I read the instructions!

    Weʻve been having 1 - 5 minute blackouts in our district lately and so I was looking for the simplest option to keep both my NAS and my computer running just long enough to safely power down. These units work well. Easy setup. Good price point

    It is being used for a battery backup for two lift chairs for my elderly parents. They are afraid of being sick if the power goes off. I have one for my wife. She uses it for our computer and our WiFi internet connection with the printer also.

    This APC battery backup and surge protector is ideal for protecting your most sensitive devices. You never know when your electricity will surge or quit from a transformer failure. The APC-Back-UPS 650 VA 7-Outlet/1-USB is reasonably priced ang starts protecting your devices the moment you plug it in.

    Perfect for all my needs, i have several of these Backups on all my computers and TV's in the house. What I like the most is the size, easy to hide or mount and when the power goes out it does not beep like the other types do, so i do not have to go all over the house and turn them off.

    This is the second one of these units that I purchased. The alarm went off on the first one exactly three years from the original purchase date. I just bought a new one since it was relatively inexpensive enough to spare me the hassle of getting the battery changed. I gave the old one to my husband to get refreshed. I like that the unit is very compact with a small footprint and has lots of outlets. Gets the job done.

    Works great. Provides a great backup when the power goes out and keeps things running until the generator kicks in.
