    Very dissatisfied. I have my router and modem plugged in and power doesn't even last an hour. What a joke. Don't waste your money. It's basically a power strip surge protector and a capacitor.

    Solid UPS for short term power loss

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

    You pay a little more for the APC name but I think it is worth it. This works great for lower load items to keep power during short term power loss or until you can get your generator started. It should be noted that this is a bit different from most other APC UPSs in that the battery is not user replaceable. This should not be a big deal since usually the batteries cost about 80% of a full replacement anyway.

    Best Back-Up Battery Unit

    This unit is sized perfectly with a built-in surge protector and an ample number of plug-in ports for what I use it for which is for my PC, my router and my printer. This is the second APC back-up battery unit that I've purchased over the years. APC is a very reliable product that has provided years of uninterrupted power to my home electronic devices whenever a power outage occurs in my area.

    Excellent price special for these batteries, I usually keep my computers connect to backup batteries in case of a power outage or spikes on the neighborhood since a lot of construction is going on at the moment. this model is easy to setup since you do not need to open the box to connect the battery inside, instead there is a yellow fuse you need to connect, and you're all set to go. there are 6 outlets but only 4 are battery and the other 2 are surge protected.

    So far so good. Bought a lot of APC's for work and home over the years. Usually after some time (3 to 5 years) the batteries go caput and you have to buy replacement batteries or units. Maybe 2 have broken and would not turn back on. I like they are taller now instead of flat, saves more space when I place them on the floor against the wall. I wish they would have some way of a 'soft beep' or a chime instead of the high pitch noise. When the power goes out and you have 10 of these, it's very annoying

    I have many battery back-ups in my business network. This one is much more compact than older units. It had one nice feature that I have never seen.... a mute for the audible tone to let you know when the unit is running on battery. I use this item to keep my PC powered. Having the alert sound off when power is off does not assist my business. It just makes for noise. SO I am impressed by the size of this unit and the mute feature.

    I've bought several of these to protect my electronics when we have unexpected power outages and surges. When the power goes out it gives me time to properly shut down my PC, TV's and wireless equipment. You only get about 8-12 minutes of power before the battery is completely drained. I can tell when there's a power surge because I can one or the other click as if it interrupted a surge from affecting my connected electronics.

    Ideal low cost solution for short power outages

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

    With 4 surge and battery backup plugs plus 2 surge only plugs it is the ideal low cost device for temporary power outages and power surge protection. Upon power failure their is both an audio alarm and flashing lights that indicate power outlet failure. The internal battery is easily replaced, caution it will void your warranty, with a readily available 4.5AH 12 Volt battery you can buy from Batteries plus Bulbs or Ace Hardware. With a small footprint, 6 outlets and audible plus visual lights upon outlet failure it"s the best solution I've found for the money.
