    This "updated" model is not as good as its predecessor. It does not have a replaceable battery, so when it dies, it's off to the recycling. Further, it did not handle loads well. I had the previous model, and there was no problem with the load I had on it. This one, however, tripped every time I tried to print with my HP Laserjet.

    Worked as intended and hoped, for those living in regions where power outages are much too frequent. Allows me to shut down everything as soon as power goes out.

    Good UPS for a small desktop, or a few devices. Does not really have a lot of functionality, but it is what you just need.

    Purchased it to replace a 450VA, but did not handle my PC which pulls as much as 500 to 550 watts (shuts down as soon as starting up PC), although an older 450 model does handle the same PC for days without shutting down. Ended up buying a 1500VA model to replace the 450VA and that has worked perfectly. This 650VA I left on the side to charge a router and cellphone.

    Don't. Unless you're plugging this into just a television or a cablebox, buy something else. Despite it being a fairly standard feature on even their tiny ES350 models, this unit has NO USB MONITORING PORT. It is *just* a dumb battery with no way to tell your equipment that it's time to power down.
