However, some customers have expressed concerns about the outlet spacing, the absence of a USB port, and the loudness of the beeping sound.

    I have a lot of APC/Schneider Electric UPS equipment. I’m using this for my TV area, eliminated a lot of cable clutter, and I feel better when I’m doing firmware updates, as I don’t have to worry about power loss bricking things. Trivially easy to set up and use.

    Works exactly as expected. Was easily installed. Only difficulty was that the plug in area seems to be on the opposit side from where we wanted it.

    Simple but effective for giving a few minutes to safely shut devices off in the event of an outage. Not for larger electrical items.

    Basic

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Unit is a good basic model, however, does not do everything it says. The audio alerts do not seem to work as the manual says. Since there is only one button it says everything is controlled via that--but so far only thing we have seen is the on/off action. The audio alert (beeps) on/off (mute) does not seem to happen at all, but maybe we are missing some tight time frame on that control functionality. Either way is either difficult to use or doesn't function as listed. Otherwise unit seems to work well. Is a strong drawback that it does not have the USB connection to send shutdown alerts, etc. Make sure you are going to be using it on devices that don't care if they are suddenly powered off (network switch, router, charging, etc.).

      Thank you for taking the time to review our BN450M. The unit offers a quick mute option by shortly pressing the power button for less than 2 seconds during an alarm. There is also the option to turn off the on battery alarm completely. With the UPS turned on, you can configure the on battery indicator modes by holding down the power button and waiting for the third beep. At the third beep, the power button will cycle red/green. Release the power button and its color will indicate the mode it is in. You can mute the on battery alarm permanently by pressing the power button so the mode selector is flashing red. Once the mode as been selected please wait 5 seconds for the settings to be saved to the UPS. The BN450M doesn't have the option for shutdown software because traditionally it used for smaller routers and modems. The feature is available in our BN650M1 which is the next step from the BN450M. If you run into any issues with the unit please do not hesitate to contact an APCbySchneider support team. We offer email and chat services through our support site and you may also contact us directly at 800-800-4272 option 4. APC

    I purchased this for my gaming LCD since I don’t want to use my 1500va UPS for my PC and monitor, I’d rather have a separate UPS for both.

    The outlets could be arranged a little differently or with a little more space between them. If you are plugging in items with adapters, there is not enough room to plug any 2 adapters side by side. Other than that it works great and does what it's supposed to do.

    This is a good replacement to my old UPS that the battery died and it was not worth to replace the battery. It was more cost efficient to buy this new one.
