    APC UPS's have always been reliable and Best Buy offers a good price for them.

    I am giving this five stars because there is nothing bad to say about it. It works, good quality, and has a replaceable battery. Screen shows time left on charge, and is plenty to protect my pc from power outages. (I am not using this in any industrial setting, my power goes out quite often and this is just an extra layer to protect my pc.) I would recommend this.

    Great UPS device. Does not take up a huge amount of space and provides a long runtime and protection for our router and NAS.

    Easy to set up. Seems to be working fine. Haven't had any power outages while using the computer. I would give it a 5 star if the available plugs were a bit farther apart. Some items I needed to plug in have a larger plug and had to be plugged into none backup receptacles. Otherwise a sturdy unit. that I can replace the battery as needed in the future.

    High quality piece. Easy to setup and operate. Be sure to read the instructions because you need to take the battery out and connect it before operating the unit.

    Up graded to this one. Quality name & products. Last one lasted more than 7 years in a harsh environment. If you're looking to protect your tech then this is the product/manufacture you need.

    I own several APC backup units. We get lots of thunderstorms, along with flickers and outright failures every year. These excellent units keep us up and running instead of watching candles burn.

    So far this has been as advertised. You don't appreciate what you have until you need it. I had used some of the other ones that Best Buy sells and they did not last through two different outages. APC is THE name in back up power, should have gone with them in the first place.

    Excellent battery backups. The place of work does not have the best electrical in the building, and I can't tell you how many times these APCs have saved our lives during an unexpected outage. The APCs will give you plenty of time to save your work.

    what can I say, the light is on, the alarm is off, and it is like believing in seatbelts! I just hope it will work. Priced right. Nice size and was easy to hang on the size of my desk. I like it.

    Works excellent, does exactly what I needed it to do. Also gives PC users with an expensive setup have a piece of mind that I am protected. I also have shut the breaker off and the pc ran until i could shut it off.

    Worked well, tested it by unplugging with good results. Run time, watts used accurate. Some difficulty plugging into battery terminals. Needed adapters for back up outlets too close to each other.
