    This is the 2nd one I have purchased. Protects my electronics as we get many power surges and I don’t loose data when the power goes out. Like the display on front…very easy to read.

    Worked great for two weeks - left the house after shutting down all connected devices and unplugging backup from the wall. When I returned, the UPS did not power up at all. I had to return it. This may have just been a defective unit, idk.

    These battery backups have saved our bacon and we havent lost anymore equipment since we started using on all Nabors drill rigs as they have frequent power outages with surges/drops in power constantly!

    We bought this since the power tends to go out during big storms here in Texas. Its been great so far, even helps with the little flash outages that cuts the power just long enough to rest the clocks. This keeps the TV and Roku along with the Modem working for a while.

    With it being a surge protection device that hasnt had a surge take place yet it's hard to give it a full 5 stars. No fault of the product, just circumstance. Although I will say the battery has been tested and works great.

    Purchased 1 and it died 2 days later. Returned it and got a 2nd one. The second one lasted 8 months and died with a cloud of smoke. I am a Best Buy Total member. Best Buy excludes this product from their membership warranty program and will not tell you this when you purchase it. The manufacturer requires you to use Best Buy for the factory warranty return. Best Buy refused to take it back under the manufacturer's warranty. I am left with a pile of junk.

    Unfortunately, the power goes out often in my neighborhood. I’m a freelancer, and rely on being able to submit my work no matter what happens. Using this backup power supply has saved me from many Deadline crises.

    This thing is a beast. I've got it backing up a 4 GPU mining rig and the PC has been running perfect since day one. Piece of mind know power issues wont damage a $5k PC and can keep up with the wattage demand.
