    Needed something to protect my work computer and offer some peace of mind against power surges, which were common in my previous rental.

    This is one of the cheapest insurances you can purchase for your electronic devices. This can save you from hours of wasted time talking to multiple warranty departments.

    This thing has worked perfectly. I have two, and both are just about maxxed out. power surges, bumps or brownouts are all handled beautifully.

    It wasn't immediately clear, even with the instructions provided, how to activate this, but once I got it working, everything seems to work fine.

    I always buy APC when shopping UPC for protecting expensive or critical gear. My new $2K TV deserved the best so this was it. New battery connector external to the battery compartment is a nice improvement. Great deal at Best Buy as usual.

    I haven't had a power outage, so I don't know how well the back up works. I like the smaller footprint and the spacing of outlets.

    Capable Unit - but no USB port for computer

    Got this UPS, switching back to this brand from Cyberpower Systems because the former exhibited bad behavior during power outages when connected by USB port to a computer. Unfortunately, this one has no communication port at all - but that is OK, as it is in use on a phone modem which it would not be able to communicate with anyway.

    Works as expected. I especially like the new method for connecting the battery. Instead of removing the battery all you need to do is pull a plug on the bottom, turn it around and plug it back in. Very nice.

    Prefer the older models with a bigger, easily replaceable battery. Had a couple bad out of the box which is very out of the ordinary. They do their job well and the battery isn't quite so important now that devices are using less power.

    Bought this to keep my cable box, TV, and Echo Gen 3 operational until the generator kicks in. It takes over 20 minutes for my cable box to reboot after a power interruption. Works like a charm.

    Not much to say about this. I bought this to replace my old one (lasted about 6 years). Plugged it in, everything seems to work well.

    At least for a little while. I use this little guy to backup power in my businesses network equipment which is the hardware provided by the cable company, a switch, a network storage device, and a router.

    I ordered the product literally after midnight and I had it on my doorstep @ 4pm that day. Amazing. I think they (BB) used a local delivery option and distribution center within my local store.

    Necessity If You Use Desktop

    A UPS is a necessity if you use a desktop to work from home. APC has been around forever, their units work well. The only downside is when the internal battery wears out, the cost of replacing is more than buying a new unit.

    This is the third APC Back-UPS we have purchased for our home. We now have one for our computers, our home security system, and our modem and router. Well worth it, since they last for years!
