Works as stated not top of the line, but cheap enough when it stops holding a charge eventually I won’t bat an eye.

Picked up this APC 450VA backup battery surge protector for my Dell AIO. Setup was simple and everything is running smoothly. Highly advise to charge the battery before using it!

It's for my home office desk and does protect! It was tested with an unexpected power spike. I love the lower size/weight. My older ones are so big and heavy.

I needed a good power supply and surge protector for my router and modem and this did the job giving me an hour of back up battery run time when the power went out.

APC UPS 450VA - It Works as Intended.

This was a replacement for the exact same model. The battery in the previous purchase died after about 3 years. That said, I've got 5 of this model. They work great for their intended purpose - keeping our internet up during momentary power outages. We rarely have the power go down for more than a few minutes and the UPSs we use insure that the media converter in the garage, the router and other devices in the closet, and our computers continue to run without interruption. This is very important for my wife as she works from home. This device is reliable and very affordable. I recommend it for anyone who needs to insure reliable operation of tech devices.

I've purchased many variations of this APC Back-UPS (450v, 650v, some with USB, some with no USB), and i am very pleased with this model. In fact, i purchased two of them!
Pros:
-Small form factor means it can be tucked away behind a computer monitor on top of a desk. I see this as a huge plus vs. the competitors which take a huge amount of space
-Perfect for network devices (modem/router), and even for smaller desktops (I have mine connected to an iMac and a second external monitor) due to its generous number of back-up power plugs (some do a half/half distribution. this model actually gives you more back-up plugs than non-backup plugs)
-Flat power plug, so the outlet can be against a flat object (like a bookshelf, etc.)
- No annoying beeps like some other models
Cons:
-No removable battery, but like some have said, you can buy a new unit for almost the same cost as a new battery
-This model does *not* have USB ports. I bought this particular model for my iMac, so it's not an issue for me. However, i have a similar APC model with USB ports which are used 24/7, so keep this in mind.
That's about it for my cons... it's a very great, reliable model. Like i said, i purchased two of these and am using one with an iMac + external monitor, as well as a second on a laptop dock with two external monitors.
This review is from APC - Back-UPS Connect 450VA, 120V, 6 NEMA outlets (2 surge) - Black

I had another one of these and it worked for many years. When I thought it was nearing end of life, I started looking for a new one. I ended up buying the same one because I knew it worked and the price was right.

Works as expected for a home UPS device. Everyone should have one to have clean consistent energy diverted into their modems and routers for better quality.
