    Very Solid Product

    In my home office I have a lot of power draw from various items that will sometimes trip the breaker under heavy load. I also live in Florida and experience occasional brown/ black outs during weather events. This product gives me a piece of mind that I will be able to shut down my PC safely in the event of a trip of any kind. In the event of just a breaker trip to my office, it also allows me to keep my internet running so my family doesn't yell at me that "the TV isn't working" :) Pros: Setup - Out of the box this product is very easy to set up. There are clear instructions for connecting the battery terminal. Form factor/ connections - This product is surprisingly small for the backup capacity. With 4 outlets for battery + surge and 4 for just surge you are able to effectively protect a lot of your electrical equipment. Piece of mind - This is what it is all about. If you have any sort of sensitive electrical equipment and experience temporary power blips of any kind, this will give you ample time to safely power them down and avoid costly damage. The seamless transition and clear LCD screen give you all the info you need to monitor. Cons: The only thing I could slightly gripe about is the closeness of the outlets. If you are utilizing multiple/ awkwardly shaped plugs or "bricks" you could run into overlap. However, I gladly take this trade off for the form factor/ size. I will gladly recommend this product to anyone who would like to protect their electrical equipment.

    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.

    Purchased this UPS/battery backup to protect TV, Blueray player, cable box, sound bar, etc. Very important protection against electrical spikes or brownouts for expensive equipment.

    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.

    It works well versus the CyberPower model that I previously owned. It doesn’t beep and flake out unexpectedly. I havent performed any actual load test on it but again I’m happy with the performance.

    It’s very dependable so far (a month). The power cuts out intermittently in my area and this device allows sustained power to my desktop for uninterrupted compiling.

    Good for running all but the most extreme workstations or gaming rigs. My wife uses it for her Ryzen 5900X gaming rig, and it can ride through about 45 minutes on this backup.

    Great UPS for handling fluctuating power situations. My computer all of a sudden would indicate a hard drive boot problem, but once I plugged into the UPS, the problem went away.

    I bought what I thought was a larger size and it does fulfill the function of giving me time to work on my computer, wrap things up and shut if down but definitely not working for hours after the power goes out. Nice to have a backup for charging other devices when the power goes out. Note that only 4 outlets are backed-up the other four are just pass through power.
