Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Back-UPS Connect 450VA for its battery life, performance, size, surge protection, reasonable price, and ease of use. The design and overall UPS functionality are also appreciated. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the outlet spacing, the absence of a USB port, and the loudness of the beeping sound.

    I bought this back up a month ago and it works great when I have power and when I don't. I bought one back in october last year and its 3 times heavier and two times bulkier than this product. Excellent buy!

    Really good battery backup, new design takes a lot less space than the old version and overall a good investment to keep the PC safe.

    This product avoids the usual question of what to do with strangely shaped plugs. The orientation of the plugs accommodated all our adapters. Activating the battery portion was well-designed also--very intuitive.

    Have had for almost two years and they are working like I expected them too. Easy set up and enough power for the low draw devices I have hooked up to it when the power goes out.

    I bought this a pretty nice sale, and use it primarily for my 3d Printer. While it would last longer for a 3d Printer, it will last through a quick flicker or brown out. I also have one for my network.

    I bought this for a digital sound mixer. If the unit shuts off before the speakers...BANG! It happened recently, but the speakers survived. Next time I might not be as lucky. This is cheap insurance.

    I bought this hoping to get rid of the dirty power coming from the outlet to my AT&T Gateway to improve my wireless internet speed. Did not help, the gateway is still bleeding off interference. Oh well...at least my TV, gateway and stuff is on battery backup now and should be protected from power surges.

    It works well as a surge protector and keeps the computer running long enough for a controlled shutdown.

    Living in Florida seems to bring a lot of power surges. The APC backup stops the gateway from rebooting all the time and gives us the chance to shut things down if we lose power.

    It is not a product that solves everything, but it is something that will work for you, if you do not have the money to spend a lot. Buy it to protect your equipment, it works very well.

    Protect your WiFi from going out during a power outage so you can email your power company that you don't have power because a tree fell on the power lines!

    Nice small footprint, the power cord is rather stiff and difficult to coil/concealed but if you’re drawing a lot of power thru this unit, it’s important. I recommend it. It’s working great for me.

    Very Good Battery Backup for Short Term

    This is an excellent short term uninterruptible power supply (UPS). I use it for my TVs and computers while I am using them. They will not power these items for more than a few minutes.

    Works well as a battery back up and surge protector. We haven't tested it for more than a few minutes but it's protected some high priced electronics during short power outages.
