Solid, good size, peace of mind

This is a good looking and and solid APC. While on, it glows green on the front. It's quite small for a battery backup which I like, it fits well under a desk without being obnoxisouly big. It has a 3ft cable and feels very sturdy. It only has 4 regular grounded electrical plugs on the back, but all of them are surge protected and on battery backup. The amount of time the battery will last depends on how power heavy the things you have plugged into it are. It also includes 2 USB charging ports and an ethernet port in/out for surge protection on your network cable if needed. Note that this battery is not huge, it's not meant to support a full gaming computer through an extended outage. Plug in only the things that are mission critical and shut them down if you lose power. There is software (PC Only) you can install to see your current power usage and approximate battery life. I run a small business and I use this in my home office, and this suits my needs as a good surge protector and keeps my router and modem from rebooting through quick power outages.
Pros: High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still my go-to UPS but battery not replaceable.

I have purchased new APC UPSs on a regular basis for years to protect all my electronics primarily from power surges and particularly from lighting strikes. The UPS feature itself is an added benefit. I add new ones to my collection of six and retire old ones that fail or are no longer are in warranty. This model is the first that I have bought that does not permit the owner to replace the battery if it fails. This is a slight distraction for me as generally a replacement battery costs more than the unit on-sale. Therefore, I marked it a four. Otherwise I would give it a grade of five.
Pros: High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Cons: Difficult Maintenance

Strong Plastic Oddor

The unit seems to work fine. However, this is my third UPS and the first to come with a strong “plastic” odor. It’s been 10 days, hopefully it dissipates.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have bern using this ups to power up our home theater. It needs to be charged 24 hours before use and then it works as expected. It has usb a and c ports and can charge or power multiple devices. We are really happy we got this and have been using for few weeks now. Highly recommend it for computer or any other electronica at home.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Good Value, High Quality
Cons: Difficult Maintenance

Nice generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a portable back up generator. This device is great for camping or on the go in your car for emergencies. It works as its supposed to however the battery life is not good for large items. Use for charging phones and small devices
Pros: Good Value
Cons: Low Confidence in 24/7 Uptime
