Effective back-up system for electronics

I have used this UPS for the past month to keep my entire audio/visual system protected from power surges, brown outs, and short power interruptions. One great feature of this UPS is the LCD screen that gives multiple sets of information and most importantly provides the amount of wattage being drawn from the electronics plugged into it. That way, the user knows how much electricity is used from equipment in the standby mode and therefore which things might make sense to plug into the power saving slots. This feature also eliminates any guesswork about how much wattage is used when everything is turned on and how long the battery will last at that load. It works well to protect sensitive electronics beyond computers even though that is how most will use it. It allows me to continue to watch DirecTV when the power goes out and I don't have to wait for the satellite receiver to go through its 5 minute restart after a power interruption.
What's great about it: Long battery life with minimal load, low noise when powering equipment
What's not so great: With 50% load, it only has 12-15 minute battery life
