We wished this had worked out, but it didn't have enough juice to supply back-up power for an automated self-cleaning cat litter box by CatGenie. It is quite bulky which was expected, but the beeping is fairly loud too. Best buy has a nice return policy so it was worth a shot particularly since it has 6 outlets with surge protection. We returned this knowing there are better yet more expensive options out there to meet our needs.

I just needed a simple UPS that would protect my entertainment system and keep the equipment up until I could shut it down. Oh, and I wanted something that would fit neatly on the floor between the console and the wall. This puppy more than satisfied all my requirements.

APC - Back-UPS 450VA Battery Back-Up System - Black Keep your office equipment safe with this APC battery backup. It has six outlets with surge protection, four of which also have backup protection to keep your important electronics powered short-term

I was amazed at the lightness of this UPS. I originally purchased an APC UPS unit 6 years ago, and it weighed a lot more. This one is easy to carry and easy to find space for. I like the idea that we can silence the alarm with one touch of a button. Haven't needed to do so yet.

Protecting my computer against sudden power outages, where I live that is pretty often. Gives me time to shut down my computer without data loss. It will protect several units at one time. Really feel more comfortable about my computer now !

I had never heard of a battery backup system before a 5 second power outage totally destroyed the hard drive in my desktop. My neighbor told me how the battery backup would have prevented this from happening. Small price to pay to prevent losing everything on your hard drive.

Got this to backup cable modem and wireless router. Now, whenever we have a power outage, I can use any tablet to surf the internet (in the dark, LOL) to check on weather, etc

Due to frequent thunderstorms in Georgia and the power that can go out much too often even if for only a few seconds these UPC devices have made my life much happier. No the devices kick on immediately and my satellite dish and internet continues to work just fine.

This unit's size and capacity are perfect for my needs. The unit was incredibly easy to set up and put to work. I am both glad that the unit is working for me and that I made this purchase.

Reasonably priced. Our area is prone to power surges and really affects our internet router. We have changed 2 this year only. Bought this one and has not had any issues then. Nicely sized as well, not obtrusive.

Bought three of these on a deal of the day. Exactly what I needed to avoid shut down of modem, cable box and pc during a power flicker. we get a couple a day of here. Avoids having to wait for reboots and avoids loosing my work. Very please especially at the sale price point.

For my son's computer this is perfect. We live in an area that experiences short to long term power outages when there are storms. This unit keeps the computer powered while the backup generator starts. So it's modest capacity fits the need perfectly.

Use it for a small tv and small fridge and work great so far, no problems issues found so far, this is just for a peace of mind, but have all my electronics devices on some UPS.

Great little low power backup for low power devices. Has kept me on-line a few times during power outages and protected against some intense lightning storms. Still working also. Have a graveyard of other brand UPS. APC has been the most reliable so far.

Battery back-up does the job. Has enough power to get multiple items powered while you have time to save or shut down. If you just have surges or quick power outages then you dont even know that the power is lost with these.

I have one of these on each of my TV's and computers. Plug it in and forget it. Protects against spikes if power goes on and off repeatedly during storms. Will also give you time to gently save all your work and shut done your computer if there is an actual outage.

I'm using this to protect parts of my home stereo that are always on - the DAC, phono preamp, and the DVD player (in standby mode). The APC protects these if the power bounces on and off when power outages start and when they are rectified.

So far it works ok. Can't really tell much. Haven't had it long. We have a lot of power surges in the rural area where we live. The real test is whether it will work for what I need during a power outage. But hope that doesn't happen either.

I purchased this as a backup battery for my fairly expensive sewing machine. I already had one for my long arm machine and have not had any issues. It's good peace of mind to know that a surge will not take out the computerized components of my machines.

Set-up was nothing more than plugging in the devices I wanted to protect, then flipping on the switch. One brief power outage gave it the opportunity to show that it worked, and it did, without any interruption to the devices plugged into the unit. Definitely a good buy.
