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.

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!

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.

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

I bought this product so that if our power is out we will still have access to WiFi . When the electricity is out our cell phones are not the best for keeping up with the news or Electric company. We have not had a power outage so I don’t know if this product fits the description. So far, product is on and fully charged. I bought this product based on price and customer reviews. I have however charged my cell phone. I am giving this product 5 stars and will be purchasing another backup battery for my lamp.

This is the 3rd APC backup of this type, They are compact, reliable, and have more battery+surge outlets than surge only (5 vs. 2). Highly recommended.

A relatively compact UPS, this not only solved what I needed, but I bought a second one to accommodate all the connections I have (one computer, three backup drives, two printers, and two hubs). I've owned APC backup units before, and they always work well for battery backing of computer systems.

I bought this before the blackouts in Texas from last winter blizzard and it performed really well. It was slim enough to fit into my Legrand On-Q enclosure and was able to keep my modem, router and 2 access points powered for over half an hour when I thought it would last just 5 minutes.

I purchased this APC unit (plus another one), because I have used their profucts for years, and they have been reliable. Before purchasing APC for the first time back in the 1990's, a friend told me about their connected equipment guarantee. I never thought I would need it, but back then, I had a power surge which fried my PC. APC paid to have the PC replaced. I've been sold on them ever since. Fortunately, I haven't had a power surge like that since.

APC always makes great products. This 650VA Battery Back-Up and Surge Protector is very good for relatively short intervals of power outages. For more plugs and longer lasting power, the 900VA version is also a good choice. Hard to go wrong with APC.
