I bought this for my wifes new gas range. We get a lot of brown-outs in our area and the last range got damaged during one of these. So, I purchased this battery backup to plug the range into do that it doesn't get affected by such things in the future.

Bought it as a UPS for a LAN device setup in my cellar to remotely control my boiler and my heating oil tank guage device with my smartphone. Easy setup, appropriate performance level, reasonably priced and APC quality to boot.

This is my first Back-Up Battery and all I could say it's worth the price and it does an outstanding job at what it does best! If you're looking for an economic yet superb battery this is the one. Hasn't let me down.

Had lots of issues with brown outs and power outages. Really hard on computers and other equipment. This gets you enough time to shut down critical devices. Really beneficial device.

These have saved many an expensive piece of electronic at my house. Power occasionally blips out. These provide consistent power and prevent a blowout when power kicks off and on.

Just set this up and the for factor is great. I love that it has a flat plug for the wall. Not sure how well it works yet as my power has not gone off but I’m sure it will work just fine like all APC products have in the past.

Bought this unit to back up a TV along with a home theater PC. No frills; it has worked through several short power interruptions. Only complaint is that it has no real status indications; you pretty much just plug things into it and take it on faith that it's going to bridge the gap. Theoretically it gives you plenty of time to gracefully shut everything down.

I live in Florida, and the afternoon storms sometimes cause power surges and outages. I recently purchased an iMac and have it plugged into this as well as my printer. Don’t hesitate to purchase it, specially if it’s on sale.

We often have power surges or power "blinks" in the summer from storms not that close to us. With the backup system I don't even notice them--on my router or my desktop computer--saving me from worrying about lost work on Word or Excel documents.

We have many power interruptions in our rural area. This battery backup is dependable, holds up our computer, monitor during power issues so that we do not have to worry about info loss or other issues. Recommend.

Works perfectly. During power outages you don’t have to wait for your computer to reboot. Or it gives you time to shut things down. And save what you need. We’re not do without it

I got this on sale to replace an older unit. The only problem is that there are fewer outlets, but since it had a smaller capacity, I expected that. There were just enough to be fully utilized and then tucked out of the way.

I'm glad I bought this, I had a power surge 1 week after I hooked up my new 4K TV and Dish receiver. The whole house went down except for the connected equipment. I hate waiting for the dish to reboot. It saved my investment, definitely worth buying.

Not a large battery backup, but it works as expected. Will keep PC and three monitors on long enough in the event of a power outage that I can shut them off safely

i bought this backup system because my old one died, its better in every way, better design, same ammount of spaces to plug stuff, but with a better alignment. more freedom to connect electronics without them getting in the way of each other.

I use a lot of APC here at work as one of the IT guys and like the ones we purchase, it just works. Plug in your items and go. I have a TV and DVR unit and it allows a graceful shutdown, if I know we're having power issues.

A very inexpensive backup good for protecting anything small. In Florida you always have surges, Brown puts and kiss of power. The line voltage is dirty and in summer there are storms every day so why not protect your investment.

this battery backup gives you the option to run your tv or cable or internet through a momentary glitch in power failure during weather... It also protects and gives $$$ in the event of equipment being damaged plugged into this device
