Derecho, Power flickers, life saver

I've got 3 UPS boxes with the goal of protecting my network, NAS, and computer from power flickers. This box protects the equipment my ISP provides and has worked flawlessly when we have quick power flickers. When the derecho knocked out power for over 8 hours (we were some of the lucky ones) this kept our network up for almost a half hour (I think the phone company box on the outside of the house, which I protect with this, draws a lot of power). My only complaint is the beeping alarm when it is running off battery. I've followed the instructions to the best of my ability, and can not get it to stop.
If we have an outage longer than a flicker, I quickly shut down the equipment protected by the UPS and use the outlets to recharge cell phones.

Solid three years of flawless performance

Purchased in April, 2017 and used to provide backup power to home network equipment (router and switch) and a 3-disk home server (home built, i5 and later a Ryzen 5). This unit performed flawlessly over 3 years, seamlessly providing emergency power through lightning storms, brownouts and the usual summer complete power failure. As expected, after 3 years it's now complaining it can't hold a charge. Given that, I've now swapped in a new unit, the BE425M (the collection of equipment it services has shrunk, and with it our power requirements). I've got another 3 of these for computers and network devices (like our Google Fiber Jack) throughout the house. If they all last as long as this one did, I'll continue to be impressed.

Small enough to not be obtrusive, but big enough to handle the electronics I have plugged into it. 4 back up/surge and 2 surge

These are required if you have power blips. I work from home and protect my modem and router from these frequent disturbances.

Got this in a Black Friday deal for the cost of two surge protectors so what's not to like? Very basic, no power chute connection or monitoring ability. Provides surge and battery protection for a MacBook and Peter usb hub

If you ever had a power blip while watching Xfinity X1, you know how long tv needs yo reset. This eliminates the problem.

Works great for my desktop. Has enough outlets to hook up all of my accessories. Small enough that it’s not in the way.

Good UPS for the price point, only downfall is the lack of a USB port to connect to the computer for notifications.
