Works well so far. Bought it after hurricane knocked out power for over a week. Got some power out of it even then. Will see how it fairs when power outage again. Either way great for surge protection.

I use multiple UPS units to keep the power going continuously on certain devices in my house. This unit was specifically purchased to power some smaller "not so wattage hogging" devices, and the price was right as well as the size and specifications. Purchased it, plugged everything in, and it all worked. I'd like to say the experience was amazing or something, but I know what I need and how it should work, and it worked (and continues to work) perfectly. While l also have larger units for more powerful equipment, this smaller unit fit in quite nicely for multiple battery chargers etc. Overall highly recommended and a great price.

I have not had any issues. All plugs are surge protected. Only three are battery backup. I do have one surge protector plugged into a battery backed up plug for all those plugs in that surge protector. Have not had an outage while watching tv so not sure how long the battery will last.

Just the protection I needed for our flaky electrical company (HECO). This will save our delicate electronics devices. Bought a few on sale. Well worth the investment!

APC - BACK- UPS 450VA!
Good capacity, number of outlets, I also like it because the outlets are located on the top and that makes it easy to place behind the desk and takes up less space

This product has been really useful for me and my family, the surge protector functions pretty well. We had an electric peak this year, and none of my electric equipment connected to this were damaged.

The APC Battery Back Up is exactly what I needed to protect my WiFi and TV. The sales person who helped me was very helpfully. This applies to everyone who works at Best Buy.

It’s pretty nice for a budget friendly battery backup for desktop. It’s not living up to what I want. I ended up getting a battery backup that last longer. Also this thing make some white noise while it’s running.

This back up battery is a little bulky however it can accommodate up to five plugs. It was very easy to set up and so far has been functioning very well.

This has already been saving me from losing my work and keeping the WiFi on during the storms in town. Also, saving my playstating, Mac, and PC from any power surges and giving me plenty of time to turn them off.

I already have one, but when lightning struck near my house and this surge protector/battery backup held its ground against the phenomenon, I literally switched all my surge protectors to this one. The only downside it’s that the light of the power button cannot be dimmed or turn off

Great Compact UPS/Battery Backup

Compact enough to place on a shelf. But powerful enough to provide uninterrupted power to your most important low wattage devices. I have my modem, router, and network attached storage plugged into mine. And still have room for additional devices. Also means that in a power outage, I'll still have Internet.
