I live in an RV full-time and needed a backup to protect my expensive computer, PlayStation, and my internet setup in instances where breakers flipped or campsites lost power. This is a great backup and it stays on all day when I am traveling 8-10 hours too! I’ve never had the battery go dead yet and it works perfectly for what I needed.

Previous battery backup was larger, but when the batteries went dead it was confusing finding replacements so I decided to go with this one and it works just as well. In fact, it was half the price so I was able to purchase a second one for the other computer in our home office. If the two computers were close together, the larger backup would work for both together, but for this setup the two are ideal.

Swapping out desks and decided to put in a new battery back-up and surge protector. I've always had good luck with APC and the price has always been comparable with the other brands. I've never had a deadly surge or crash since I've been using them which is for the last 20 years or so. Can't go wrong with this one.

Purchased two of these. One for my home computer and monitor and one for the Router in a different room. After a recent power outage, I was able to go into my office and easily power down my PC while on battery back-up. Best part....I had internet and Wifi for over an hour thanks to the other back-up which powered the Router only.

I was surprised hoe much smaller this UPS was than similar UPSes at this battery capacity. Additionally all the plugs are along one side, so if you have a brick plug or large plugs they won't bump into each other from the top and bottom. there are spaces for fat plugs too to give room on the sides.
was simple to setup, sleek looking, does it's job... oh and it has a USB charging port on it too!

Found these on sale at Best Buy - bought the sale limit. They are great devices. Works well in small places.
Clients complain about the USB port, it's not fast charging. Seems the bean counters ruined a nice little feature, which is otherwise a great product by APC.

A UPS is supposed to keep things going when the power goes out. Here in North Texas occasionally there is a need for this. I have only been in possession of this item for a few months, it has performed through several outages as expect. I suggest you do you homework on the price you maybe able to secure this for a better price with a price match.

Small, but enough battery to keep my cable modem, router and switch up during any power outages. It replaced a dying huge and heavy APC UPS that was meant for computer servers and more power hungry equipment. For less than the cost of the replacement battery I have exactly what I need.

I got this to replace a prior battery back up system that wasn't working. For the price this is a good unit which gives you just enough time to back up and shut down your computer in the case of a power outage. Also, when you get brief outages that last a second or to this unit keeps you data safe and your computer running.

So far this is working well. We had a ton of brown-outs right after I got this and with one exception it has worked perfectly. One time the power came back on at a very low level for a while and the device did not trigger. Worth the money.

I stick with APC due to prior experience with them recalling and replacing a power strip that was 10 years old with no questions asked. True customer service. This unit will gripe if there is a sudden drain of power when my printer kicks in, but that just means it's working. Good price on a good unit!

Have had two of these for about a month and went through three ~1 hour long power outages. They are being used for my work iMac and for my router and through all the outages, my machines lasted through them because of this UPS. Very helpful to not lose internet and work progress because of this.

A lightning had hit near the side of my house, I lost my router switch and the ethernet port on all wired computers. If I had a UPS that would have save me a lot of headaches, so I picked this ups up, it has proven itself a couple of time during outages. Do go without one, your hardware will thank you
