When it comes to UPS systems, NO ONE makes em like APC. This new smaller package offers a great price for performance. And APC always stands behind their products with great replacement and service warranties! Cant go wrong with this UPS!

We have had a couple instances that caused our computer to loose power. We need access to this computer remotely so this UPS system was the answer. It’s protecting our equipment and keeping us online.

I purchased this battery backup to keep the memory in my water softener when brief power interruptions occur before the generator kicks in. So far it seems to work but just waiting for an event to occur to test it.

I have had numerous battery back up systems from APC and find them to be very reliable. I bought this item mainly because my battery in my old unit finally failed, and the cost of the battery is just short of the cost of a whole new unit.

Good, small low-capacity UPS

Don't expect a lot of load-time from this backup. It is only meant for short term/power-blips of light loads. For the price it is more than functional and from a quality name of APC. They have been doing UPS systems for many years.

I bought this to ride me through the numerous power flickers I experience at my home. It won't run the router long maybe 2 hours but at least it will compensate for those short term power lapses.
So far so good

This APC product was bought to replace another. I have purchased APC products for all of my computer equipment. I have looked at other suppliers, but use APC exclusively. They are reliable and dependable. Their warranty is good also.

Great for out here in the country with frequent brown outs and occasional lightning. You can hear the unit kick in when the power drops. Just connect your equipment and forget it. Green light lets you know unit is functioning properly.

This is a must have for everyone. Keeps your units in power for outages. Worked great when I was changing receptacle in wall to new style. Didn’t lose internet or phone service while power to outlet was off.

Good Product But Make Sure It's Big Enough

This is a good product and was a good replacement for a previous APC unit. I've stuck with APC after they paid for some equipment damaged in a lightning storm...just as their guarantee promised. My only caution: Make sure you get a backup big enough for what you are protecting. I could have bought a couple sizes larger to protect more equipment.

This is a smaller UPS. I am using it in my panel it power my alarm and router and network switch. These systems do not require large amounts of power so I have protection and internet though multiple days of power outages,.

The battery on my previous back up went out, and it was less expensive to buy a new back up than it was to replace the battery. I chose this item on the recommendation of a sales associate, and I am very happy with the unit.

I bought one few months ago to protect my TV, streaming box, DAC and active loudspeakers. No problem at all during those months. So, I bought another one to protect my NAS>

We purchased this back in April 2020 due to power blips at the house. This kept interrupting our internet causing havoc for my wife's WFH setup. New UPS, problem solved.

I used this product for about 10 minutes and it worked fine. I wound up returning it because it did not solve a problem I was having with my car's AC current (I misdiagnosed the problem - it was not anything wrong with this unit).

Basic battery backup for your desktop

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This UPS has enough outlets for a single desktop computer with separate monitor and PC power supplies. Only a few of the outlets are spaced for DC power bricks, which is fine for most home users with only a set of external speakers and a single external desktop hard drive. There aren't enough ports for power users with multiple external drives and other office accessories.

I got this for use in a business, to back up the cash register and I am glad I got it, great investment and saved my programming on the register when the power surged saved me a lot of grief and headaches!
