I have not had to use the back-up feature yet, but the unit itself is very easy to set up. There are receptacles for power back-up as well as surge protection only (for units that draw a lot of power).
The only thing I note as a caution, just for awareness, is that the plug cants to the left. If there is limited space to the right of the wall socket, this can be an issue.

I've got a pretty power hungry gaming PC that I got this for. For a while it was great, but then our family adopted a stray kitty from the shelter, and she loves walking all over this thing, cutting off the power. I then found that it works perfectly well standing on its side, and until the cat gets her spider powers, there's no way she can accidentally stand on the off button.
Enough juice to keep my gear on when the laser printer goes off!

a "Must Have" for Electronics

This is exactly what I needed. We have satellite so when there is a power surge the receiver needs to be rebooted.
This can take as long as 5 minutes. Plugging the satellite receiver into the surge/battery plug, prevents the receiver
from rebooting and our programming is not interrupted.
In addition, I can plug in my TV and other implements.
This avoids interruptions and they are protected from damage from power surges.

I bought this to use at home due to my job having us working from home due to covid19. I just wanted to make sure I had backup power for my work computer & modem just to be on the safe side. Well it works great! Had a bried power outage & it kept my computer & modem on. I was able to continue working with no issues. And I love that it has USB ports which was great to have to charge my phone.

I live in a 90 year old house with some dubious wiring when it comes to being properly grounded. We also get a lot of power fluctuations - surges & outages being in a heavily wooded region. This unit works well to provide surge protection to numerous small devices - and provides adequate battery backup for modem and router to keep wi-fi up and running for at least a few hours when the power goes out.

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.

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.

This has preformed as expected and does the job good. We use this to back up directory monitors for several locations for our hospital clients. When they go out we just replace the 12 volt battery inside with a new one and they seem to work fine. This is a great product.

My daughter’s old UPS did not like to higher wattage being pulled. This one solved the issue and gives her time to exit her game and shut down.
