Works great for my computer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This UPS is great for my work from home setup. It’s good to know that my computer is protected from outages when I’m working. It has plenty of ports on it and it looks sleek. It doesn’t take up too much space either. Overall, it’s good to know my computer and my work is protected, especially since my area is prone to blackouts
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great outlet options

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this the other day and installed it in my closet where my main router, mesh router, back NAS and camera hub is and it is great. The form factor is about the size of a case of soda but a little skinner and taller. It has plenty of outlets for my needs and I do like the option of the usb a and C on the front of the unit if the power goes out. My only issue is the cord length was short so where I had to put it meant either the four things it backing up are tight or it has to sit on in front of everything. It is about 3 ft which could work for most but I did want it a bit more out of sight so like 6 in longer would have been awesome. Having a couple more outlets would have really sealed the deal for me but this really could get the job done for most home office setups.this is my third APC UPS and they have saved me multiple times due to crappy power management in my part of the neighborhood so I would recommend.
Pros: Ease of Management, High Quality

Great Peace of Mind

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm using this UPS on my internet router/fiber box. During storms and power outages that are common in my area, it's annoying to have to wait for the internet to reset, even when the power goes out just for a second. (During one storm, I used an extension cord from my van to the router to work!) And if there is a surge, I don't have to worry about losing internet until a tech comes out to the house.
Thankfully I haven't lost power since installing this, but this already has given great peace of mind that a power spike won't bring my internet down for days (I work from home).
Setting this up was super easy, and will easily give me internet for a while should the power go down for a bit. I'm happy with it!
Pros: Ease of Management, Good Value, High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that we have less to worry about with power outages now. The size is nice, not to pig and easily fits in out set up! the set up instructions were easy. Plenty of outlets in back plus USB ports in the fron are so handy! Peace of mind during storm season!

Does the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has worked really well for me. I have it at work since I have no need for it at home. With all the thunderstorms we have been getting I'm happy to have a backup just in case the power goes out, and am confident that this will perform. It was easy to setup and has had no glitches.

Great Protection for electronics.
on June 7, 2023

from Centreville, AL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the APC Back UPS, 750VA/410W, Tower, for a week now and so far I have been extremely impressed by the consistent power that has been supplied to my PC and peripherals. The product is extremely easy to use and install and I have had absolutely no issues. I live in an area where power can be a little inconsistent and this ensures that my PC is protected from the power surges and brownouts that we see on a regular basis.
The UPS has for regular plugs that are located on the back, my only complaint about the product is the spacing of the plugs. The outlets are placed far too close together, which means that for plugs that are large (my monitor for one), it is impossible to plug in without causing issues when plugging in other plugs. To resolve this issue, I had to use a regular extension cord, which is not ideal. The box also has a usb and usb c, outlet on the front, which is perfect to charge phones, headphones etc., without worrying about power surge's ruining your items.
The product is made from high quality materials and I like that it comes with a three year warranty, which hopefully means that it will last for at least this long.
Overall this is a great product that I do recommend to others, my only complaint is small and is a common feature with other UPS's, but I do wish companies would take the issue into consideration. Overall the product works as intended and does a fantastic job of protecting my expensive electronics.

So grateful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So grateful to have this. Our area has started doing rolling blackouts to conserve energy and we have a saltwater tank and fish tank. This gives us significant peace of mind knowing if something happens we’re covered!
