    Had to replace an older APC unit (after years of service, battery wouldn't charge anymore. This one has the same power output limits but is more compact, has more outlets, and cost less money. Been in service for a month now (through two power failures due to storms) and is working just fine.

    This is probably my 5th of 6th APC product. Have them on my computers, TV and high-end sewing machine. Only brand I'll rely on after having experienced a lightning strike several years ago that took out not only the suppressor but the TV. No questions asked, they honored their replacement guarantee on the TV and I had a new suppressor with a couple of days.

    It works well. It lasts enough during power outage. I have nothing to complain about. At least I know my computer, monitor and tv, Cale receiver are well protected against power surge. I like the vertical shape too compared to previous models.

    I have really enjoyed this back up so far. I have never actually owned one but after setting this up I will always own one moving forward. The main 2 reasons why i enjoy this unit is because of its build and its outlet accessibility. First of the all the unit is heavy, not overly heavy but still not light. It seems that its made very sturdy too. In the past i have seen some that are both too heavy and with a poor design, but this one seems very well balanced. Its not top heavy either... its height compared to width are evenly proportioned. Secondly, I had no trouble setting this up either. Its outlets, both USB and regular wall outlets are spaced nicely apart reducing the chance that a 90 degree plug will hog up 2 slots. The power butting is set below the surface of the outer shell too so an accidental "bump off" is not likely. Overall a great pickup to assure what ever is plugged into it has consistent power flowing at all times.

    Easy to set up. Plenty of plugs. Long cord with flat plug. Has plenty of juice to run computer and monitors for more than the time it takes to save and shut down.

    This battery back up and surge protector is used for my WFH equipment. At first I purchased a surge protector from Amazon which undoubtedly failed within 3 months. Concerned, I looked into the next best thing just in case of any power outages and I found this one to be the best option aside making my whole house be surge protected. It’s formed to where it can be in the back of the desk and have access.

    EXCELLENT Back-up Unit

    I am very happy with this item. Unlike some of the other updated model version of APC Backup units where APC has revised the unit but kept the same model # but removed the port for a USB connection to a computer, THIS ONE HAS a port. With that connection you can use their PowerChute software to monitor the status of the Back-up unit and manage settings like delay before shutting down the computer, alarms, and sound preferences. This model makes it easy to configure or monitor the back-up.
