    Perfect size to put behind whatever you have to hide it and just the right amount of outlets.

    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.

    I really like the small compact shape and design along with the compatibility of the unit. I do wish it had more plugs but I understand it that would probably come with the larger unit which I really didn't need but this fits nicely in my entertainment center for my entertainment system and internet and router.

    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

    Replacement unit

    Got it to replace a much older unit that the battery was failing on after all these years. Same size as the older 450 VA unit. Took ten minutes to swap out mostly, to unbury the wire to the wall. Plugged it in and it worked. No need to charge it before use. Had APC units for 20 years or so now. Only knock is can't replace the internal battery on these models, but then they are a lot smaller so even trade.

    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.

    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.

    When I bought my Synology NAS I felt I graduated to needing a UPS. My electrical power is pretty stable but I did not want to risk damaging my new backup drives. I was also able to plug in my iMac and a bunch of peripherals including my modem and router. I feel better that all my expensive hardware is protected from surges.
