Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works like it’s supposed to. It doesn’t take up a lot of space like the others did with less power ratings.
I would recommend this to a friendJunk
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Died in less than two years. Called the warranty number and left a message. Never got a callback. Warranty will expire in days now. Not worth my time for a $50 piece of junk to hunt them down.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from TechSupport
Posted .Hello Edward, run times will vary based on the power drawn from the unit. An entertainment center is going to draw a lot more power than a router or modem. If the unit was unable to provide backup power altogether, please reach out to our support team at 877.297.6937 and we'd be happy to assist!

No good battery pack
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This battery pack takes over 8 hours to charge. I would not recommend it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from TechSupport
Posted .Thank you for your review! It’s completely normal for the battery in a new UPS to slowly discharge between the time it was manufactured and when it's purchased and put into use. Because of this, it's standard practice to charge the unit for up to 8 hours when you first receive it. Additionally, if the battery is completely depleted while running on backup power, it can take another 8 hours to fully recharge. This is typical for UPS units, regardless of the brand.
Shuts itself down and crashes server
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately after a year of using this backup, it has never worked in our frequent power outages. It shuts off several times a month with no warning, crashing my server. I just have 1 server, 1 computer, and 1 monitor attached. I haven't found any solutions online to keep it from shutting down. I'm now looking for another brand.

Posted .Hello, in order for a UPS to function properly it will need to be plugged directly into a grounded outlet and any equipment will need to be plugged directly into the UPS with no extensions, adapters or power strips in between. For more information, please reach out to us at (877) 297-6937. Thank you for your review.

Needs to be removed off the shelf
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Complete garbage. The directions are simple but the performance of this unit does not match the directions. The performance is not simple because they do not perform.Be advised I purchased two of them and they both had the same outcome.

Battery backup is not reliable
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery backup on this unit does not always kick in when it should. When there is a power outage/flicker, it also does not re-engage itself, seemingly, so that it will build up charge again. The manufacturer needs to rethink this product design.
