    I purchased this APC battery back up for a basement dehumidifier. When power blinks due to summer thunderstorms, the dehumidifier shuts off automatically. Having the APC back up provides peace of mind for keeping the basement dry even when we are traveling.

    Great battery backup! Use it when our power goes out to keep my TV/Directv/Roku stick running until our generator starts up. Works great.

    Works good. I purchased them to avoid having the computer turn off at midnight during storms. So far can not complain. I bough two, one for my mac mini and the other for my router and modem. That way if the light goes out the connection will still available.

    I needed a UPS for a computer in an outbuilding. This UPS was priced right. But at this price your going to be missing a few options. No communication port. It does not report anything to the computer, no up-time warning. It has no network protection. This is a UPS and only a UPS. Make sure you look at what you need to see if this will do. For me it was good enough. I would have liked more functionality but I didn't need it.

    I bought this to keep my cable box and electronics from shutting off every time the power goes out at my house - which is quite frequently. It's small so it fits behind my TV stand and has just enough plugs for my stuff. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.

    I purchased this in order to provide a bit of protection for my networking equipment in case of power surges, and outages. The unit comes with a 3-year warranty and runs for almost an hour once power has been lost, giving me a bit more life from my cable modem during an outage.

    Was looking to add battery backups to some equipment. Have used APC backups for many years. Was excited that they now have an upright style rather than the flat style from previous purchases. They are in place and working great. Would highly recommend this battery backup.

    Already had APC UPS for hard drive and one for modem, each in separate rooms. Needed APC in family room for lights and other low-draw items when power is interrupted during severe storms - so pets would not freak out. This fits the bill and then some.

    I wanted a replacement for a backup that had just failed. Only needed a few minutes of run time. This one fit the bill. It's smaller than the old one which is a plus. I haven't tried it yet too see how long it would last. Hopefully a few minutes.

    I have had this power supply for about 1 month. We have frequent thunderstorms here in Wisconsin. Power surges and 1 brief power outage were no problem for this APC Battery Back Up. I am pleased with its performance so far. If it is durable, I'll be extremely pleased.

    APC battery backup systems help provide consistent power to my electronic devises for when power flickers. It allows me the time to power everything down. Also our house was hit by lightning and these products saved my computer and other times.

    APC has a great reputation in battery back-up/surge protector units. I own several APC surge protectors in my residence and they perform very well and last a long time. Living in the lighting capital of the world APC provides me the protection I need for my electronics.

    I have been buying APC battery backups for the past 15 years and never been disappointed. I bought my current APC to protect my TV and other connecting devices. There is nothing like knowing your electronic equipment is protected from electrical surges.

    GR8! But needs a battery gauge

    My ONLY complaint is it does have have a gauge display to tell how low the battery is getting. I wish it came with a table that shows “run-times” for various applications. I got it to use with A/C powered animated props when you don’t have a nearby outlet. It took a lot of testing to determine how long it would power different props. That said, it is VERY handy, COMPACT & easy to use. And I like that it is black.

    We buy these all the time. Not only great for it's typical use, but if you need to put something behind behind a UPS that might have bad power, and possibly outdoors - thing things fit in a 12x12 plastic box you can get from Lowes or Home Depot.

    I haven't had any particular issue with this model. It over-delivers on power delivery while on battery, which is quite nice. Knocking down ease of use, using the power button is completely unintuitive.

    I was looking for a back up unit for my Ooma phone service that only required a small amount of back up for limited amount of time. After looking about, I decided this might be the best choice. After going into the local Best Buy and reading some further details I made the purchase and have been happy with the set up that will assure continued operation during storm or other power outages. Very compact and does not take up very much space.

    Surge Protector/Battery backup

    We keep losing power for no reason it seems and when that happens my Wi-Fi goes out, therefore the phones don't work. Since I have an elderly person in the house with medical problems, it's important to have landline working. I read the reviews on the APC, talked to the rep and all recommended this unit. So far so good...no major outage yet, but hoping it will stand up to the raves. Easy to set up too and can wall mount.

    Having lost everything on my hard drive due to a two second power outage, I was informed by my neighbor about battery backup devices to help prevent this. I had never heard of this before. For a very low cost, I now have peace of mind that this won't happen again.
