    This unit has been great! This unit protects my desktop computer and some external audio devices for music . The power at my house tends to either go out for anywhere from a few minutes to hours. Sometimes the power goes out for 1-2 seconds, which I call a "blink". Yesterday the I experienced 3 or 4 "blinks". and this APC reacted so fast that my computer had no idea that the power was out. So far, I couldn't be more pleased!!! Highly recommended!!!

    Avoid damage from brown outs

    I use this to protect equipment around the house. I plug into the battery backup side not to provide continuous use of electronics but to protect them from power fluctuations that could damage them. Try to match the watts on the battery to what you are protecting. So a 100 watt device on a small battery backup and a 500 watt demand from 5 devices should have a larger battery backup. Hope this helps.

    Prevents Ruined Work

    This seems to do exactly what it’s supposed to do and that’s all I ask of it. I do a lot of 3D printing which generally takes 5 to 12 hours depending upon the height of the print. We have gotten a lot of momentary electrical outages lately. They don’t usually last long but are enough to ruin prints and waste resin which gets to be expensive. This battery backup prevents that and I am delighted with it.

    Over the years, both professionally and at home, I've used APC backups with never a failure. Pick the size to match your equipment and just "set and forget". The menu options for both sensitivity and audio alerts are straight forward and should meet the needs of any user. Highly recommend

    I needed a slim profile UPS form factor to slip between the couch and wall to get battery back-up for my 5G Home internet box (this is the location where I get the best 5G reception). This UPS perfectly met my needs and at a great price point. It also gives me over an hour of internet back-up if/when the power drops.

    The battery back-up has worked well for me. Where I live its not uncommon to lose power for a few seconds during the summer. This has prevented my gaming desktop from turning off during these temporary power losses. I haven't had to challenge the duration the battery backup can run my desktop, but I also don't think that's a fair use case for this relatively small battery backup.
