This is a significant UPS in size but, at a good price. I live in FL so power outages are not rare. This machine will be used to charge laptops and phones as well as run my modem and router in the event of a power outage.

I never go wrong with an APC purchase. Yes, many will say that APC products are higher priced than their alternatives, but it is worth it. I've tried the other brands, and they had issues regarding how clean the power they provided to devices like LCD or LED monitors, etc. were. I've truly never had any issues with an APC product.

The configurations on this unit are simple and it works very well for maintaining power on cable boxes, routers, switches, stereo equipment. I get about an hour of backup on it with those units. Don't plug in a TV though it will drain in seconds.

Very good backup battery device

This is a very good back up battery device. It has a total of 10 outlets with five which are backed up to the backup battery. I do notice some undervoltage situations periodically which I would like to see in a more narrow range. But, for the price it may not be possible to get better than this.

I've been using APC products for over 10 years and have had great success with them. This device is protecting my Mac Pro, monitors and a few external hard drives from power fluctuations and interruptions. I like that the shut down options interface with OSX system preferences.

My friend has this UPS for his server setup, so I had to get one. No electricity downtime creates a lot of peace of mind when my security system can continue monitoring my property for a while during power outages, and with surge protection.

If you have anything electrical that is valuable, you should buy this UPS to protect those objects. Just make sure to understand how much power this UPS can handle.
The UPS is all black and slim, which helps to easily disguise it in your home or office. The screen provides enough information to the user to know the status of the battery and the system.
If you are using it for a computer system, I highly recommend to install the PowerChute software. It's light and helps you to test the battery from your computer.

Bang for the buck, I did some shopping, this gave me the most battery power with reliability from a good company for the $$ spent. That and it was less at best buy than other places I looked on the net.

The backup has provided ample power to get me through all power outages I have received in the past. I have several of these on several of my PC's and have never had an issue with any of them. I will continue to use this product to protect my PC's and provide power during outages.
