    Use this on my entertainment center - enough outlets for tv, satellite and peripherals and copes well with oversize plugs. USB outlets also ease the space requirements. Small enough to fit nicely behind the entertainment unit and helps to prevent a tangle of wires/connectors. Helped to prevent satellite/dvr resetting during some recent surges.

    Product works as advertised and has plenty of plugs for both battery backup and surge. Like many of us guys who love experimenting, we tested it quite a bit using an on/off wall plug with a toggle switch and it worked without fail. We didn’t keep it off line for the full amount of time advertised, but expect that this is likely not an issue.

    Product performs as described. There are two sides of outlets on product. All outlets have surge protection. One side of product allows everything plugged into that side to have battery back up. Battery backup performed great during two power outages since initial purchase. Purchased additional units for other electronics and all perform great so far.

    Works fine, plenty of outlets and for a good price. Electrical supply here in Las Vegas, NM is pretty flaky, but my computer stays up now, even during storms when the lights flicker.

    Six battery outlets and six surge protected, what else do you need for a home setup? Have my modem and router hooked up plus one of my desktop. Got a power glitch and neither went down while my wife was on an on-line class. It will be a life saver during COVID, just imagine you are in the middle of a test or exam and power goes off.

    Used for more than a month and a half, works great, gives me a few minutes to turn everything off. Gone through two blackouts already. I have a 55” tv, ps5, surround sound, and mood lighting connected to one. Definitely recommend.

    Lighter than others I've purchased, especially considering the wattage. I purchased this for my demarc in my house which includes my modem and my router and this gives me plenty of time as a buffer if the power goes out. Purchased this after a storm when I realized that even though the 1500va models I got for my 2 PC's worked well, as did my laptop's battery, I lost Internet the moment the power dropped. If you have cable/coax Internet this will keep things running long enough for you to finish up what you're doing and would be fine for a PC, TV, or something similar as long as it's under the 510 Watt maximum power load (although if you're close to that you can expect under 5 minutes of power). In my case I get 30-60 minutes of padding to shut everything down with just the stuff I had connected.

    Good Battery Backup

    This is a great backup for any electronic goods that may be sensitive to abrupt power outages. I typically use the battery backup for computers, or electronics, that use non-SSD hard drives. This battery backup should give you enough juice to power down . your devices in a black/brown out. In the case of those events, the unit will make a buzzing/hum sounds. I haven't had to shut down my devices due to black out, but I can tell the battery backup kicks in during brown outs because of the buzzing/hum sounds. If you want to support devices that consume more power, just buy a unit that has a larger VA capacity.
