    It is the same brand name and wattage as the old one but only half the size which I like. Haven't had any power outages yet with this one, but the old one was ten years old and kept my computer on through a four second outage in the last two months.

    This product is great. When and if the power goes out in the house, I have about 45 minutes to stop any work on my computer and back up any work completed before shutting down the computer before the power is gone for the day or whatever amt of time it remains without electric

    Works great. When power goes out or there's a blip strong enough to reset clocks, anything plugged into this doesn't skip a beat -you wouldn't have any idea there was a power issue. There's a faint "click" that let's you know it's on battery power.

    The UBS works as expected, but it has this annoying beep when there's a power outage that cannot be silenced unless you keep pressing the power button on and off until power is restored.

    • Brand response from APCProductSupport
      Posted .

      The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable alarms such as On Battery. During such alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will temporarily mute the alarm until the condition has been reset. A short double beep will confirm that Quick Mute has been activated. Pressing the POWER button for more than 2 seconds will turn off the UPS. Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification can not be temporarily muted. The unit in these cases must be turned off.

      If you need additional assistance, please let us know if you still need any additional assistance. Contact our Technical Support Hotline at 1-800-800-800-4272 or chat with us at APC by Schneider Electric. Thanks for your time today. Have a great day! APC

    This product really works. It’s something I feel every should have. I tried it multiple times, by turning my own power off and using it. Wanted to tested it out. It really do work and goes for hours. And that changes by how many things you have plugged into it. A awesome product to have. Enjoy

    I have had this battery backup for quite some time and it been trouble free with no battery change required. We have had no bid surges as far as I know of. We have had several power outages and backup has covered them.

    So thanks to Corona, we work from home and now the likelyhood of blackouts is more than ever we need something to keep the internet up and running. Its expected to keep our home internet up and running for four hours. I feel we have some insurance in preparation for the next black out.

    Our power goes out and we have multiple expensive computers and other items that can't have the power cut even for a moment. This gives you a little time to shut things down in case the power stays off. It works great for my music equipment.

    Great price and on sale. Our office goes through these all the time and since we are subject to a lot of storms with power blips it’s critical to protect electronics.

    I have been using APC backups for several years. Where I live the power intermittently goes out for several seconds every few months and having a backup power supply has been helpful in keeping the electronics and computers I have running. This unit is not as powerful as some of my other backups but works well with keeping power to my cable modem and cable tv box when I have these power glitches.

    Plenty of security, and enough time to power down the system. In the Southeast, there's always the hazard of lightning, along with frequent outages of sometimes unstable voltage. I bought an upgraded model to replace my old one, because I've never had a problem.
