    I had not updated my PC's UPS in a very long time but it was worth it. It communicates with my PC better than the old one and I like the USB charger for when the power is out.

    Works perfectly but lacking an alarm to let you know when power is out. I prefer an alarm to sound so I know the computer is affected, especially if power only goes out in part of the building.

    What's important is that this device works. It works great for my needs. It is keeping a cable modem and phone system up when the power goes on the fritz.

    I bought this battery back-up for my new television. Because of the space behind my television, I chose this one for the fact that it is slim and the power ratings of the unit.

    Used with an older shop computer on a roll around cart. Eliminates the possibility of data loss, and a dead ECM, if the extension cord is tripped on and the computer loses power.

    I had good experience with this brand;previous model lasted well beyond warranty. When battery finally expired, I decided to get a newer model rather than purchasing a replacement battery. I have not experienced any power failures requiring backup since I purchased the device.

    Bought this to protect my new 27” iMac as well as Bowers & Wilkins desktop speakers. It is very robust and have no doubt it will execute its job well if needed.

    I bought this battery and it lasted for a month before the battery died. Got a replacement without hassle and it has been working ever since. I like the features it has, specifically the Protection Software for shutting down the system if more that 5 minutes under battery.

    Purchased this ups to aid in reducing power surges and also to supply several minutes of power for my electronic devices. It was simple to set up and install. So far it has done the job. Can’t give it 5 stars because durability has not been evaluated.

    I was replacing an older unit that no longer worked. It issued the same internal battery and had the USB interface to the computer. Just as reliable as the older one.

    The backup provides protection exactly as stated. It is protecting expensive computerized sewing machines. The price of the unit is a small amount to spend to protect it.

    The device works well but the Power Chute Software does not work properly, I notified the manufacturer and they said "They know". Another "Consumer debugged" product.
