Customer Ratings & Reviews

This back-up device is okay. My only complaint is that the outlets don't give you much room if you have any plugs that are even a little large so its hard to use all the plugs with things that have bulkier plugs like my router and modem.

I was at first excited to purchase this battery pack to replace an existing one. I sadly had to return it because, the cord was too short! It was literally 10 inches shorter than my previous pack and would not reach the outlet.

We’ve been using APC Back-UPS & Surge Protectors for many years & haven’t been disappointed. They’ve proven to be dependable & worth every penny spent. This 450VA 6-outlet unit is another winner. Now that I’m mostly working from home, a surge protector & battery backup is an absolute must. I have 3 monitors, a PC, landline phone & calculator, so the 6 outlets are perfect. The extra space between the 4 surge + power outlets is great because I have some oversized plugs. Between the on-going construction nearby & frequent electrical storms (especially over the Summer), we lose power a couple times a month on average. It was a nightmare to get shut down in the middle of a process & lose my work. I constantly had to pause & save my work for fear of losing it. Now, with the APC in place; when the power goes out, the unit kicks in & gives me time to finish up, save my work & shut down properly. We also have a lot of power surges. I’m aware of the surges because we’ve been using APC Back-UPS on our personal PC/Electronics as well. I can hear the unit working & responding to every surge. It reminds me of how my electronics would be getting fried if we didn’t have the APC protection. No doubt, the surge protection has extended the life of our equipment.

I bought it to stop interruption of electricity. We have a lot of blinks and then TV cable has to reboot . Power blinked and cable box had to reboot. Sales person told me this would work. It didn't

Not a very easy setup. Straight out of the box chirps until you get it setup through software and charged. Other brands are easier to setup with simple plug into wall outlet

This item was not holding a charge. It would stay on for 10 seconds and then turn everything off on me.

Last time I bought one of these, to connect the battery you just opened the battery cover, attached the wires to the battery terminals, and closed the lid. Easy! Now you remove something that looks like a very large car fuse (a plastic part with two metal terminals), and shove it into a slot on the bottom of the battery. The first time I tried it was very hard to push this part in and the battery did not connect properly. It was very hard to pull the part out to try again and when I looked in the slot it looked like I had pushed the contacts into the battery. I tried again and it seemed to work (I did not get any flashing lights) but just three ir four weeks later the unit started flashing and beeping and indicated battery not connected or battery needed replacement. Money down the drain and unit niw going to recycle.

This only kicks in when the power is completely out. If that's what you need it for this is fine. But it won't help with brownouts as it doesn't kick in unless there is no power.

Good for what it is. Be advised that it does not have a USB out to gracefully shut off the computer for when the battery gets low

So, the BN450MNW isn't going to be something you rely on for things like desktop computers or even laptops, but that's not what it's for so you shouldn't expect it to be. If you're looking for something to keep your cable modem and router going for a little while when the power goes out, this more than fits the bill. You can also get away with using it to top up your mobile phone battery at the same time and still get a solid 30 minutes of juice out of it. I actually have two of these. As a Verizon FIOS customer, I have an optical network terminal (ONT) on the side of my house that requires power to keep internet service going. The plug for that runs into my basement and into an outlet there, so I just popped one of these into that outlet and moved the ONT plug to one of the battery backup outlets in this unit. The second unit is upstairs and provides backup power to my wifi router and my security camera transformer. That means that even during a (brief) power outage I am still fully online and can have a live view of my property. Not bad for $112ish for the two units. The price is right. If used as intended the battery power you get is the same as it says in the documentation. An overall solid buy!

I do not like the size of it, consider aesthetics since it will bulge your living room furniture. For its capacity I believe you have better options.

This product did not work for its intended use as an alternative power source for a power recliner.

I purchased this because I have a desktop computer that i wanted battery back up and surge protection. The battery back up doesn't even provide enough power to cover an electricity current interruption for less than 2 seconds. If the power even flickers I don't have to reset the clock on my microwave but the computer loses power and I have to reboot. I tried going through APC to get warranty service and apparently the 3 year warranty will allow me to buy a replacement product at a discount but I couldn't get an SKU number from their drop down box so I couldn't even see what a replacement would cost me. If you want to buy this inferior product spring for geek squad so that you can return it to Best Buy when it quits working in a year and you can trade up to a better product.

First experience with this model. It has performed okay but still monitoring how it recovers from repeated short duration power loss occurrences.

Circuit kicks out randomly for no reason, shutting down my computer.

Great for home use i do not recommended it for office.

Item description shows a usb cable which implies this is a managed ups. It is not managed. Does the job otherwise

I don’t remember buying this item, but it in my list, so I’ll put something on it

I needed a UPS for my entertainment area, which includes a 55" TV, 3 TB NAS Drive, and an XBOX One S. It worked for maybe a couple hours but then started sounding an alarm. Now I can't sseem to get it to take even one item without it setting off the alarm. This is pretty disappointing because I have come to rely on APC UPS for quality and dependable functionality.

This product has never shown that it actually stores power for when my home loses power
