Owned it for 2 days and first time I plugged my PC and DVR it worked but then after installing the software and ran the self test there I realized that the battery capacity is inaccurate as one self test shuts down everything and when my pc reboots gives me a 33% battery capacity and 1 min of usage that is from a 100% battery capacity before self test
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

You get what you pay for. This unit shuts itself off at random and won't power back-on until all the plugs from the attached devices have been removed. I've used TrippLite's also with mixed results. I'm going back to and staying with APC.
