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.

I had to replace my old upc. Went with this model. Great so far.

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.

This is a great value UPS for those small devices that may need continuous power, like your router, cable modem, wifi access points, etc. Doesn’t really have a lot of power to sustain larger devices like desktop computers for any length of time but if all you need is something to trigger a safe shutdown, this is your UPS. Good price and value.

Got a new TV and sound system and bought this power supply to mitigate lighting calamity. Fun Fun!

Bought the battery backup due to power fluctuations due to hurricane María aftermath in the Island. So far it has been a superb purchase taking care of variation in voltage. Features have been helpful identifying current changes.

I’ve purchased many variations of this APC Back-UPS (450v, 650v, some with USB, some with no USB), and i am very pleased with this model. In fact, i purchased two of them!
Pros:
-Small form factor means it can be tucked away behind a computer monitor on top of a desk. I see this as a huge plus vs. the competitors which take a huge amount of space
-Perfect for network devices (modem/router), and even for smaller desktops (I have mine connected to an iMac and a second external monitor) due to its generous number of back-up power plugs (some do a half/half distribution. this model actually gives you more back-up plugs than non-backup plugs)
-Flat power plug, so the outlet can be against a flat object (like a bookshelf, etc.)
– No annoying beeps like some other models
Cons:
-No removable battery, but like some have said, you can buy a new unit for almost the same cost as a new battery
-This model does *not* have USB ports. I bought this particular model for my iMac, so it’s not an issue for me. However, i have a similar APC model with USB ports which are used 24/7, so keep this in mind.
That’s about it for my cons… it’s a very great, reliable model. Like i said, i purchased two of these and am using one with an iMac + external monitor, as well as a second on a laptop dock with two external monitors.
