Even though most of the power plugs nowdays are thick and eat up a lot of real estate in your power strip, this UPS has plenty space to accomodate all 6 outlets without interference with each other. It works very well and the design blends in perfectly with the rest of the furniture.

ITs a great device to keep my router and other devices up when the power goes out. The circuit break flips sometimes and this helps keep my access from being interrupted.

Surge protection

I bought this and installed it as surge protection for my Smart refrigerator. My appliances are way too expensive for me to not have done this sooner and it is a good idea to surge protect your appliances since some insurance companies will not cover it unless it is surge protected.

I have used other brands for my UPS needs and now only use APC. I bought several of these for our office. We have the computer and other office electronics connected to this for protection and uninterrupted power. We are located in a rural area and have issues with power flickering on and off. This takes care of the problem.

We live in the mountains and we have a lot of electric surges, so we had purchased one of these for our satellite TV box as well as my computer and they both work great! Now with my computer I can safely keep working even with electrical surges and with power outage I can safely shut down computer.

Replacement Product

I already had a back up battery by APC but the actual battery inside was dead ( had it for years & it had sat for a long time unused). I would have just ordered a replacement via Amazon but it would have taken too long, as I needed it ASAP. This unit was a good price & suited my needs.

This is not for keeping all your electronics running forever but at my home we see a lot of power flashes. This is great to keep a TV, cable box/sat receiver, blue ray player etc. from going out when power goes out for a second or two to a couple minutes. Avoids stress on electronics. Love it!!

APC is the only UPS to buy for home

I made the mistake of buying CyberPower once because it was on sale, but APC has never let me down. The long cord with flat plug enables it to be placed nearly anywhere. Great value for the price and is more than enough to protect a decent home PC. The only drawback to this model is that the outlets could use a bit more space between them to accommodate some of the larger power bricks/transformers.

Worked perfectly! During a summer lightning, thunder storm, we lost power. TV, cable, and laptops stayed on because the battery backup was on and kicked into action. No loss of capability for news, shows, and games during outage. Additionally, we were able to plug in our cellphones to recharge.

Not long battery life with the small size but great for protecting a few electronics for the brief power glitches we experience. I have a couple of these in the house and they handle the little drops we get before the generator kicks on. Good price for the size.

I have this thing hooked up to my ONT (fiber cable coming in for internet), and haven't had an issue. I have bigger battery backup systems for servers/computers around the house, but this thing hasn't interrupted the power at all through a few power outages. I've bought 2 since!

Bought this before a storm that was predicted to lose power for a few days. In case we had to use the generator I wanted to protect my wifes table top computer sio this seemed to be the right product at the right price. Didn't lose power so will update when I get a chance to try it out.

have been buying apc baterry backups for years. new design is great and got a good price here at best buy. nice feature over older backups, alarm is silent when electricity goes off and doesn't start beeping until the battery is almost out of energy.

Replaces old version of the same battery backup

Bought after older version of the 450 died due to a lightening strike.
APC has always been dependable. Plug in and forget about it.
Holds a computer, modem, 22" monitor and Wi-Fi up for about 10 minutes, which is long enough for the power to come back on (usually the case) or to shut the system down properly.

3 days after I received and set it up, I had multiple quick power outages
Everything that was plugged in continued to operate correctly. Just 1 week before, a similar event had happened and the tuner was burnt out
It saved me over $500.]

What is there to say? We bought it before the last major snow fall and sure enough, lost power. The unit charged quickly and prevented our computer from shutting down during the outage. We shut the computer down ourselves and used it to power the modem/router so our gear could connect through wifi.
