    Works well, gives me enough power to survive a short outage or time to shut down my server properly. It's a pretty small profile too, which was what I needed. The display is helpful without displaying too much info.

    I've always used APC type UPS's. I really like this one. The size, the LCD feature, the low cost, the quick delivery, everything has been great. No hassles, no need for customer service. Just a great UPS.

    Easy to setup. Solved problem with my Internet router going out. I have unstable power in my appartment and the voltage regulation helps. Just make sure to buy for what you need for wattage.

    Bought these to protect my computer equipment, wireless network system and home security system. Great features for the price. This is ready to tackle both brownouts and blackouts. Protects your equipment and gives you extra time to run your computer and WiFi while you wait for power to restore. Already survived two blackouts in NY suburbs this year, with no damage to equipment and without interrupting my work. Highly recommended.

    I bought this for use as part of a home server setup, and it connects over USB, making it really easy to automate graceful shutdowns if my power goes out. Being able to replace the battery is also a big plus!

    I have always been content with surge protectors, mostly because I've had mostly laptops and tablets. Batteries already included, so even in the event of a power outage, I was good to go until my battery ran out. Having recently purchased a desktop for the family, I thought it was time to switch it up. I've always been intrigued by UPS's, but it wasn't an essential need until recently. Out of the box you get the UPS unit and a data cable to USB.. Before you even plug it into an outlet, you have to connect the battery connector. The UPS wasn't even plugged in, and I saw two sparks when the lead connected to the battery. It freaked me, out so I unplugged it and plugged it in again to see if the sparks would fly again, and nothing the second time... a bit of relief. Once it's plugged in, the screen on the front lights up. I plugged in my desktop, monitor, and laptop. The back where the outlets are separated into back up and surge protection. The front screen indicates a good number of statuses. It shows an online status, load capacity, battery charge, overload, event, automatic voltage regulation, error detection, and mute. I immediately muted it, because I didn't want to hear a loud sound often. Everything is okay so far. The spark still freaks me out. I placed it in a well ventilated area, so hopefully all is good.

    Needed a new Backup for security equipment and this was an upgrade which worked right off the bat. Very easy to set-up and the configuration of the outlets was perfect. Always buy APC.

    I have always loved APC quality. Other than a battery dying once, I have never had an issue. (The battery was well past the expected life cycle x3) I play on maxed out gaming computers and would never trust less that APC. This one was for my roommate's smaller computer. But at 1050VA it fits the bill very nicely. Also with a smaller foot print I like that it is easy to move around and fits in smaller spaces.

    This is a newer model and so much light and smaller. The last one I had lasted 15 years with 3 battery replacements. APC has always served me well. This new model seems just right for my purpose just hope it lasts as long. APC products have always been good and preferred over most others.
