    I have relied on the APC brand of battery backups and surge protectors for a long time and have not been disappointed. I feel confident that this one will perform as well as the ones I have had in the past.

    Perfect for all my needs, i have several of these Backups on all my computers and TV's in the house. What I like the most is the size, easy to hide or mount and when the power goes out it does not beep like the other types do, so i do not have to go all over the house and turn them off.

    This is the second one of these units that I purchased. The alarm went off on the first one exactly three years from the original purchase date. I just bought a new one since it was relatively inexpensive enough to spare me the hassle of getting the battery changed. I gave the old one to my husband to get refreshed. I like that the unit is very compact with a small footprint and has lots of outlets. Gets the job done.

    This APC UPS is working out perfect for us. Plenty of battery time and small enough to fit behind our desk. We use this one to keep our router and IP phone active during power outages. I'll be buying another in the near future.

    Best UPS

    A relatively compact UPS, this not only solved what I needed, but I bought a second one to accommodate all the connections I have (one computer, three backup drives, two printers, and two hubs). I've owned APC backup units before, and they always work well for battery backing of computer systems.

    I bought this before the blackouts in Texas from last winter blizzard and it performed really well. It was slim enough to fit into my Legrand On-Q enclosure and was able to keep my modem, router and 2 access points powered for over half an hour when I thought it would last just 5 minutes.

    I bought this product so that if our power is out we will still have access to WiFi . When the electricity is out our cell phones are not the best for keeping up with the news or Electric company. We have not had a power outage so I don’t know if this product fits the description. So far, product is on and fully charged. I bought this product based on price and customer reviews. I have however charged my cell phone. I am giving this product 5 stars and will be purchasing another backup battery for my lamp.

    This is the 3rd APC backup of this type, They are compact, reliable, and have more battery+surge outlets than surge only (5 vs. 2). Highly recommended.

    Weʻve been having 1 - 5 minute blackouts in our district lately and so I was looking for the simplest option to keep both my NAS and my computer running just long enough to safely power down. These units work well. Easy setup. Good price point

    APC always makes great products. This 650VA Battery Back-Up and Surge Protector is very good for relatively short intervals of power outages. For more plugs and longer lasting power, the 900VA version is also a good choice. Hard to go wrong with APC.

    I purchased this APC unit (plus another one), because I have used their profucts for years, and they have been reliable. Before purchasing APC for the first time back in the 1990's, a friend told me about their connected equipment guarantee. I never thought I would need it, but back then, I had a power surge which fried my PC. APC paid to have the PC replaced. I've been sold on them ever since. Fortunately, I haven't had a power surge like that since.
