    I had purchased other UPS units but I really like this one because it has a smaller footprint than the others. Most are wide and take quite a bit of room but this one is about half the width with the same height.

    I like the features this unit has. If a power outage happens it will save docs and shut down computer if you are not there. Only con is outlets are close together.

    We had previously purchased one for our computer and were totally satisfied so we decided to purchase one to protect our 75" TV that we purchased earlier from Best Buy.

    replaced an older one on which the battery had finally died (after about 6 years or so!). plugs are kind of tight for some of the larger plugs these days, but made it work.

    not being a technical person, my son (a computer/software engineer) picked this out for me when the old UPS failed. I ordered it and he installed it, and now everything is working again! Therefore, it works for me!

    Great Power For The Money

    I am using it in my home network closet. Works great powering a 24 port switch, Modem, and Routing equipment. A big plus was the USB port perfect to power my VOIP phone service. Lots of power in a small package for the money. Wish it had Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), but APC would tack on an extra $100 for that feature!

    I've used these units for decades, both at home and at work, and they've saved me worlds of grief from power-line spikes, brown-outs and outages. They're well worth the money for the peace of mind they give!

    I bought two of these one for myself and one for my daughter to be used on a tankless water heater in case the power goes out. Luckily we have not needed them yet, but they seem up to the task.

    Excellent small UPS, both battery plus surge and 2 only surge outlets. USB data to PC connection/cable (USB cable is included) control better than the 450A model that is a step down from this model.

    Bought it for my PC so it doesn't have any issues. For installation make sure to open the bottom battery and plug in the red wire so you don't run into any issues!

    Good with only 1 drawback - wallmounting

    Typical APC quality item that does what it says - battery backup with good software support. The ONLY drawback to this unit if is you have to wallmount it. It mounts on the flat side adjacent to power outlets. If you flush mount it standard plugs will fit but any larger power adapters/warts will not fit - too little clearance.

    My old ups bit the dust so I went to Best Buy looking for a replacement. This one was on sale and had the capacity I needed. The form factor means convenient access to the plugs. Easy to set up & solid build.

    I purchased this APC - Back-UPS 650VA Battery Back-Up System at Best Buy when the Cyber Power UPS that I purchased at Best Buy failed right out of the box. As always, the APC UPS worked great right out of the box.

    Where I live the power goes off for about seconds and everything needs to be rebooted. (CABLE BOX, COMPUTER, WIRELESS ROUTER ). This solved the problem plus it has a handy USB port for charging your electronics.

    I’ve had many different back up power supplies but this is by far the most space efficient design. Generally I like to hide these behind furniture and this is the very best design for that.
