I needed a new UPS to replace one that went bad. Did online research and Best Buy had the Best Price on the unit I wanted. Very happy to be able to just go pick it up and not have to wait a couple of days for it to be shipped.

I like the layout of this UPS. The plugs are laid out in a way that minimizes the chance of different shaped plugs interfering with each other. I had one power outage a couple of weeks after purchasing this, and it worked perfectly.

Using this UPS for my internet electronics. So far, has performed well during a few brief power interruptions. Compact enough to fit into a small area and keep it out of sight.

I've been using APC UPS's for years; never had a problem. Batteries last about 5 years; easy to replace. I'm sure these have saved my computers many times during the numerous brownouts & surges we've experienced over the years.

Have had this for a few months now and have had no problems at all. Have had a few power drops due to south florida weather, and computer and other setups have stayed on with no drop of power. Worth the money

We have frequent power surges that have messed with components of our printer system. This back up system seems to have solved the problems associated for brief losses up electricity up to 3 hours.

My power would always go out during severe weather and I would lose my documents because I did not have time to save them before my computer shut down. Power has not went out since I purchased this, but when it does I am now ready.

Excellent purchase and value. I use it to ensure there are minimal modem issues when there may be a short power outage. Thinking of getting another for the desktop.

It was the smaller version of what I wanted, but bought it when we thought Dorian was going to hit us! But, no regrets as it is probably just exactly what I needed and not so pricy. Good buy!

No frills, simple, and exactly what I need.

I have lost two PCs to lightning strikes over the years, having a power conditioning UPS is a must. The APC is a simple, no frills UPS that is perfect to protect the system, router, and cable modem, and power them all long enough for a controlled shut-down in the case of a power failure.

Everyone needs one of these. Your recovery time when the power goes off is a lot shorter on restarting electronics. It also gives you time to save things on your computer.

This solved a problem with the configuration of the Computer desk by connecting to the desk computer switch, then thu holes across and up to the computer. It provides a reasonable backup and anti surge outlets.

Got this to see if it would help with our issue of our spectrum cable box always shutting off and rebooting due to power fluctuations in our old house. It has worked great for this need as the cable box no longer reboots due to this issue.
The APC is a bit noisy when switching between AC and Battery power but not to bad.

I use this battery backup for a 180 gallon reef tank monitoring system. It allows me to get alerts during a power outage. This replaced a nearly 20 year old UPS. The unit is very quiet and energy efficient.

Makes more sense to have the outlets on top, previous versions took up too much space. Works as it's supposed to, I have no complaints.

I’ve always have bought APC because of their reliability regarding their batteries. Other brands simply not last as long. Now the new design is sleeker looking, lighter and the battery technology much improved.

I am really impressed with the simplicity and functionality of this device. I use it to keep the power on to the DirectTV main concole to prevent it from resetting every time there is a power blip.

We purchased a new computer and purchased this to use with the it. It works well. It is comforting to know that should there be a power outage we don't have to worry about losing any of our files.
