    Good Small Profile UPS

    This small profile UPS was purchased to back up some peripheral equipment. Plugged it in, tested the unit and it has worked flawlessly. Had two power outages since purchase and it has worked both times. One small con is that there is a slight "electrical odor" that comes from the unit. Not too annoying but could bother some that are very sensitive to that.

    One of those items you find yourself needing... This is a Great one. Very well made and worth the price. After all think about why you purchase one of these. Had about a year now and would buy it again.

    It's expensive, but it's just a battery with many plugs, that protects devises from electrical surges. It's supposed to keep your devise on for about 5 minutes till you can save devises [computer], or turn it off [disconnecting for any damage.] This is the 4th one of this make we've bought. the last ones died or needed new batteries after about 4 years or so.

    Simplest item that will give you peace of mind. Enough battery time to save work after a power outage. It will do the work for one or two desktops plus misc equipment. You only want to protect your equipment from voltage changes and not loose your work. Look no more. Period.

    I was lucky enough to purchase this surge protector before a storm caused several power surges in my area! I am glad I had it. I wish the negative battery wire was easier to connect to the battery. It was not easy to attach and I had to schedule a visit to Geek Squad at Best Buy to have the tech attach the wire.

    Before I got this I was always having to reboot my PlayStation and computer due to my power tripping on and off constantly (thanks FPL) now this keeps everything running smooth. I have my desktop, PS4 Pro and 2 monitors and speakers plugged into it with no issues.

    I previously bought a Cyber Power 650VA UPS from BB and it worked great except, the plastic had a strong chemical smell that wouldn't go away and would fill the room. I eventually had to unhook it and is useless now. This prompted me to buy an APC UPS b/c I figured it was higher quality. Barely, the plastic from the APC UPS has a chemical smell but better than the Cyber Power, I was actually able to use it after a week or so of airing it out. Another issue with the APC UPS is only TWO of the plugs have a ground, eventhough in the picture they all look like they do. I tried plugging in my monitor and the plug just wouldn't go in, after looking more closely the ground was actually blocked in all the plugs except two, one battery and one surge only. This sucks the most b/c I'm using it with a computer and pretty much all the plugs have ground, so i have to plug in a power strip and plug everything with a ground into that, ugh.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Won't keep moderate wattage devcies online for very long on the provided battery, but a well built unit. They also made the battery easily replaceable instead of making it a throw away / recycle item, which is appreciated.

    APC is a very good company and has been around for decades. This unit is perfect for smaller loads that are not near to your UPS that you might have near your computing equipment. I use mine for remote router extenders and security equipment.

    I've used APC products for years for all my electronics, including my computer, router and on my entertainment devices as well. I particularly like the new "upright" design on this unit as it is easier to manage the power cords for my devices.

    Have used APC battery back-ups for many years. They work perfect, last a long time, and have saved me a few times when power surged, & lost power. Plenty of time to save work on computer. Will only purchase APC when needed.
