    Im using this for my modem and router. Has been working great so far but i wouldnt really trust a ups at this price point with too much more hardware. Id go with the $150 to $200 price point if you want to plug anything of value into a ups and if your wallet allows id go with a pure sine wave ups for higher end equipment like a gaming pc.

    I have a 32” TV, Xbox, laptop, and lamp pulled into and they all stay on when the power goes out due to storms. We haven’t had long power outages so I don’t know how long all of that would run, but no issues after 5 minutes. I also have one for my other TVs and computers. Won’t plug in electronics without one now.

    FIOS customer with new gigabit capable ONT running at 50/50. New ONT no longer has an internal replaceable battery back up. Purchased this to power the ONT, wifi router and VOIP box in the event of a storm. First real storm with outpower going on now. Unit lasted 90 min before dying. I've had the device for 15 months. Not too bad! Was hoping for better but 90 min was good. Switch over was seamless as devices remained powered on. My area is prone to lightning strikes and I haven't had any equipment issues with the devices connected to this unit.

    Bought this to provide backup power to my ARRIS SB6141 cable modem and WiFi router during momentary and short duration power outages. Lets us report and check the status on any power outages - and amuse ourselves until it returns using our tablets and phones.

    We use these at every computer at work, they are our go-to. They are ultra reliable and the batteries usually last several years. They've only gotten better over time. Make sure the one that you're getting has enough ports for your setup.

    I have 2 aerogardens plugged into this on my kitchen counter. I wanted something smaller for those annoying power flashes, but this was the smallest battery backup I could find. Now I don't have to reset everything when the electricity flashes! Wish I would have bought it sooner.

    Great Battery Backup UPS

    Good price on the 425VA Unit, and this is a must if you have a desktop PC or a router. Surge protectors are useless, thats why you want to keep your equipment protected. Make sure you get a battery backup and remember don't plug your laser printer in the battery side, it will short out the battery and trip it.

    We were originally planning on buying a replacement battery for a much smaller UPS. But then we saw Best Buy had this complete unit for the same price, so we snatched it up. We're very happy with it, especially at the price. Curbside pickup was fast and easy.

    Great Battery Back-Up for the money.

    Easy to use. Took out the paper blocking the battery connection and plugged it into the wall. Plugged in my TV, AppleTV and PS4. Two weeks later our area suffered a black out. The battery back-up lasted through the power outage and I was able to charge my iPhone while waiting for the power to come back on.

    Excellent small UPS

    The APC Back-UPS 450VA Battery Back-Up System is an outstanding small UPS that has plenty of outlets and fits in tight areas. I use this UPS to surge protect and back up several pieces of small networking equipment in my home. The unit fits very well in a small space in a utility closet. It is "set and forget" with no worries.

    Good Inexpensive Battery Backup

    This is an excellent inexpensive battery backup to prevent damage or data loss to your computer in the event of power surges or lags.It has a total of six outlets with surge protection, four of which are backed up by a battery. For more powerful systems, you may want to move up to a higher cost APC system.

    Just what I needed for daily Florida outages

    Living in Florida has its perks, unfortunately it also has its downsides like daily power flickers that knock you off the internet. Thankfully this bad boy APC unit saves the day so my internet and computer stay working no matter how many a/c units turn on at once in the neighborhood throughout the day.

    Great Battery Backup. I put my internet modem on it and when the lights flickered the internet stayed connected as it did its job I have other APC's for my computers in the other rooms and they too stay up without glitch when the lights flicker.

    Solid, Dependable, In Florida you Need Many

    In Florida, we have thunderstorms and with thunderstorms, short term power losses. Sometimes they can last for a few seconds,but that’s all it takes for your DVR to stop recording or your digital phone to drop a call. So besides having a back up UPS for my computer and router I have backup ups on my phone, DVR and TV.

    A good power backup for low power devices

    I have been using this with my tv and blue-ray player for a while. It works as advertised and comes on smoothly when my power goes out without interrupting the tv or player. I am not sure how long it would power the tv and player since 5 minutes is as long as power has been out so far. I would say it is a good power backup for low power devices.

    This is my second APC brand unlimited power supply. The first one took the brunt of a close lightning strike that frazzled the APC but save the equipment that was attached to it. Rah! I can't ask it to do any more than that and it does it well. I even have an APC brand UPS for my use at home.

    This is an item I wouldn't want to be without, so when the last one "croaked". I went on line shopping and found this at Best Buy at a decent price. Just like the computer said, it was in stock! No running around. It works fine and living in the lightening capital of the USA, I rely on it to keep my computers and other electronics safe.

    I didn't realize my last back up power supply was dead until my computer kept shutting off during little power surges we experienced. I know that replacement batteries are usually close to what a new back up costs so I got this one. Already I have seen it save my computer (and work in process) from a power surge.
