Customer Ratings & Reviews

I give the rating of 5 stars in hopes that the product will live up to its promise. As of yet, my power has not gone off in order for me to truly determine if the product works as stated.

Have owned several different brands of backup batteries and APC has always been the best and most reliable, at a good price and with a small footprint

I’m happy I purchased this item, it kicked in the other day and allowed my time to save my work before losing power.

Perfect small format. Handles everything in my extended network.

It was great making such a great decision to purchase.

This was a great tool to use we needed when we had an electricity issue

Works as designed. The battery the battery is compact and will fit well under my desk.

I work from home as an IT professional; wish I had 3 of these a while back during a recent windstorm outage, one for my work PC, router/modem, and switch. I would have had a bit of time to save my work and also the fam could have stayed on the Internet with our wireless battery devices for who knows how long. Easy to set up, has a replaceable battery, and comes with a QC/inspection verification receipt. FYI: 180 joules isn't even close to protecting from a lighting surge BUT it is for other things like possibly an electric company or transformer outage. To truly protect your home from lightning strikes (unless it directly/indirectly hits your home) you'll need something in tandem with this, such as "whole-home protection" tied into your circuit breaker and/or lightning rods, etc.

This product works very well. I was surprised at the number of surges this unit has detected since I connected my computer to it. Had APC UPS for years, love the brand, trust the product. definitely worth the $$, especially with deal of the day price.

Great product and very happy to be able to order it online and then be able to pick it up at one of our local Best Buys.

Nice unit. Outlets are far enough apart to take in account the transformer endings of some plugs.

It works great, easy to install I love it. Thanks, guys

I like the outlets on top of narrow edge. Used to power a tall modem/router.

works as a battery backup like advertised, but there is no obvious way to see if a power surge has knocked out one of the things. Also, very concerningly, it seems to just start blaring some alarm at a random time with no explanation. Couldn't find any info on it either, and to fix it is just unplug your whole settup.

This battery backup solved a problem that we were having at our cottage with our internet.

Great product but only lasts about 5 years, so be ready to buy a new one when it dies.

Good enough to ensure you can save your work. I had two lap tops plugged in. Unit started beeping after about 20 mins. Beeps every minute after that until the battery completely dies out at about 30 mins. Hover you can mute the beeps. I wouldn’t bank on this to be able to cover you on a power outage to keep your modem and router going for an extensive period of time. If you are looking to cover a desktop in case of power outage to ensure you can save what you are doing, this will suffice. Unit is a bit bulky. Yes it has surge protection and battery but standard surge protectors separate battery pack would take up less space. If this had a longer battery life, I wouldn’t care about the bulkiness, however longevity is under whelming.

Gear power surge protector with battery. Still works perfectly 3 years later.

I have purchased two other of these APC units in the past and they do a marvelous job allowing you a good deal of time to finish and save your work in a blackout. I had one unit battery die on me after two years (battery life is not forever)and the Tech folks quickly issue me an RMA to get a,replacement unit. It arrived in two days and they pay for the returned defective unit. With a 3 year warranty on most of there UPS units you cant go wrong. Im going to Purchase another unit for my son's PC and monitor and printer. I highly recommend this unit.

Good inexpensive ups, as expected On sale, easy pickup
