It was so easy to pick the right UPS from APC. The UPS has really good build quality. It can be wall mounted and simple to set up and use.

great surge protection, worked as intented for 7 years straight. I plug my cpap sleep machine into it so I juist picked up a new one, figured I'm better off with a brand new surge protection since here in south jersey I get surges all the time. I've replaced batteries on other apc products though so plan to use this one for some plant lights that I always have to reset the timer on with every power outtage. Just won't use it for sensitive equipment since its so old now and the surge protection is probably worn out.

Ordered this UPS to keep my weather station console online and reporting to the NWS during good as well as bad weather. Generally I find APC UPSs to be good products; as I have several more keeping my internet gateway and WiFi router online. For some reason this one decided that it would not keep the battery backup outlets energized even when the unit was receiving AC power. When turned on, it would work for a while and then drop power from the backup outlets (the surge-only outlets would continue to have power). And yes, I did have the battery jumper installed on the bottom of the unit.Since it is not returnable, I called Amazon tech support. The tech had me go through troubleshooting options (that I happened to have already tried before calling) and eventually decided the unit was defective and offered a refund. Accepted the offer and took the refund to purchase another unit. So far the replacement is working OK.Wrote this off to the thought that there is usually a bad one in a particular production lot of tech devices. I just got "lucky" getting the bad one.

I needed a battery back-up mainly for my router, wireless phones, and NAS. We have fairly frequent power failures and being able to properly shut down the NAS was important because they are expensive and can be easily damaged by power failures. Also, I wanted enough power to my router to be able to go online quickly and check how long the failure is anticipated to last so that we know if we need to haul out the generator and hook it up. Plus, it means we also have power to our cordless phones instead of having to go behind the TV to hook up our old basic phone.

Unit backs up my internet modem and phone box, amounting to about 12 watts on a 450 VA unit.There are numerous alarm adjustments available, but I just did "plug and play" straight out of the box.In this way, the UPS is silent when discharging instead of beeping at you constantly as long as the power is off.Instructions are clear and concise. I'd buy this product again, no problem.

Many of the negative reviews imo aren't really understanding that this is a cheap UPS. If you want a UPS that auto turns off your PC during outages, has longer batter life, can handle higher voltage, etc, then you're 100% looking at the wrong UPS! This UPS does exactly what it claims. It's a small UPS you should use more as a surge protector and to handle small power outages. It's cheap for a reason, though when you actually get a hold of it, I was impressed by the quality it felt like in this price range. I've bought various UPS's over the years. Some are very expensive, where some I got for $50 like this. When I buy cheap ones like this, it's usually to handle my home lab switches or router. I use this for things that don't take much power. If you have a low end PC or a laptop, this would also be perfect for you. By low end, I majorly mean your GPU doesn't hog a butt load of energy. If you're using 2 GPU's, or you have something like a 3090, then you may need to think about getting a UPS that can handle something bigger. But this in my opinion is a fantastic UPS. It delivers quite dang well for this price range. Seriously, it's a really good UPS and I think this is the 4th one I've bought so far. Not that any have broke, I just have a lot of UPS's (I run a business with servers, have a home lab, and more).And I've ran these little UPS's through the ringer. One of them in particular, I've definitely run more than I should. I put a server on one of them that also has 2 GPU's in the server that mines at the same time (might as well since it's on 24/7 anyways). I'm definitely capping out what this thing was built to handle, yet it handles it like a champ. Again, not saying that this is what you should use this one for haha. But I've been quite happy with this UPS.But again, most the negative reviews I've seen are people complaining about aspects of this UPS that in my opinion, aren't aspects in any UPS you'll get within this price range. For example, my file server doesn't use that much electricity. But it's mission critical that it never shuts down and that it automatically turns off before the UPS dies. I spent I think like $300 to $400 on a UPS for that server. When I got that expensive UPS, I ran various tests, was quite unhappy, returned it, and replaced it with another within the same price range. I get being picky, I really do, but I also understand the difference in pricing. When I spend $300+ on a UPS, I am looking for various features, battery life, and more. But this UPS imo offers a ton of qualities beyond the small price tag.So, this was majorly me ranting about the few who disliked the UPS because they expected more, but know I've bought various of these, I'm incredibly happy with them, and for 99.99% of people, I think they'd be perfectly happy with this.
