I purchased this back up as the power was always going out where I live and I got tired of not being able to shut down my computer properly. So far this product has done everything as promised. I would recommend this product to anyone! It's a great buy!!
What's great about it: Easy to set up, great price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had battery backup on both my computer and TV for several years. It's not foolproof against a direct lightning hit, but during summer storms it's a Godsend. And when we have those many power blips and spikes, they have protected equipment and data. This unit is not as heavy duty as the last, but it serves the purpose and was less expensive.
What's great about it: If the power goes out, you have time to save data and shut down normally.
What's not so great: It sometimes beeps for no reason

While this unit has given me a few minutes of continuing power on the occasionally power outage, it has also shut down power to the computer on more than one occasion when the power has not even gone out. I've been sitting at my computer with the lights and other appliances on which are not connected to this ups, heard a click and watched my computer go dark, without power.
What's great about it: price
What's not so great: drops power when it shouldn't

When we had lightning storm and power failure last week, my computer was protected and I felt very good about it. At least I didn't have to worry my computer would be "fried" again. Glad I bought it.

I bought this to cover brown outs and the occasional power glitches that cause DirectTV to have to re-establish connection that takes way too long. No complaints so far and with the sale price they had this at when I bought it, the deal was too good to pass up.
What's great about it: Value for the price
What's not so great: I'd like more power however for the price it's not bad.

This was an impulse buy when I purchased a new laptop. I needed something better than that old power strip and this was next to the laptop display kiosk so I grabbed one. I didn't realize it was an eight outlet unit until much later so that is a bonus for me. I have heard about reliability problems with this manufacturer but so far so good.
What's great about it: price was right and eight outlets
