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

[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

[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

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

Great outlet options
on May 30, 2023
Posted by: ATXBH
from Austin, TX
[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
on June 1, 2023

from Austin, TX
[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!
