    Recommended by my IT department as we were getting several outages after the passing of Hurricane Irma. Works great and the back up battery allows me to keep working.

    So far so good. Using this battery backup for a home security camera system. Haven't tried to turn to power off to see if it works, but assuming it will do its job. Compact enough to fit in a cabinet, along with the security system. Only complaint would be that the plugs are close together, losing the ability to use all the plugs when you have a large adapter to plug in. This is one of the drawbacks of its compact size.

    I'm 67 Where I live I can have the power go off for a few seconds 3 or 4 time a day. This happened right after Christmas and knocked the sound card out of my new motherboard.. So I bought this power supply and during the recent 65 mph wind storm the power went out 5 times in an hour. But my computer kept running. It is so easy to install and works great.

    The newer APC UPS are smaller, lighter, and more convenient. This one is the smallest with a stepped sin wave (as opposed to a square wave) so it's nicer on electronics that are sensitive. Can't speak to runtime as we have an automatic generator, but it does power things through that minute gap in power and does indeed power devices intolerant of a square wave.

    APC Quality and Dependibility

    I've used various UPS's in my house over the years, but have settled on APC for their quality and dependability. I also really like the form factor of this unit as it doesn't take up as much floor space under my desk. And if the battery ever goes out, I know I can get a replacement that will fit without any issues.

    After having used this for about a year and a half, I'm quite satisfied with how well it's worked. My apartment is rather old and this definitely shows in the wiring, which tends to fail when there's even a hint of storms outside. Even the most minor of power flickers can cause issues with PC's, which becomes even more of a problem now that I work from home. However, the backup has never failed to step up whenever there's an issue and keep things running without any interruption. It also lasts long enough that if the power does fail completely, I can wait a few minutes for it to come back before finally needing to shut everything down properly.

    The APC Back-UPS 650VA battery back up is a very reliable source. I have my computer, my router and TV hooked up to it. Less than two weeks after purchase, a storm killed my power for a few minutes, but the UPS did it's job. I'm very pleased!

    I purchased this make and model because I've had the previous model for 3 years now and it has been excellent. I've never had a problem with it in all this time and being in FL it's been used quite a bit. I have had APC UPC Backups in the past and have simply moved them around or given them away. Very reliable and a really good buy for the price.

    The APC UPS 650va Back-UPS has been working exactly as described. I purchased this product to ensure I have enough power to finish my work whenever a power-outage hits and also survive power surges. Last month I had a power surge which damaged my computer. I have Apple iMac Desktop and harddrive connected to the battery backup outlets. Excellent product with decent look.

    I bought this to replace a probably 15+ year old UPS. It does what I need it to do, and within a couple weeks of purchasing it, the UPS was put through its paces with multiple power outages. It came with a usb cable and instructions to download power down software which I have not taken the time to install yet, but I will in the future.
