Nice product, but

The Tiles seem to work OK, a bit difficult to coordinate with a partner but after you get past the quirky setup and operation it seems that things will be OK.
One bit of irritation - it seems the "new" item I received was actually opened before and resealed before I got it. Everything seems OK, but it's hard to tell if it was simply an open-box or possibly used or refurbished. Disappointing.
So, I'd recommend it OK, but with the caveat to check the packaging before leaving the store.

We bought this unit for my Mom's new NUC setup. It's nice that she won't have to worry about any power fluctuations or short outages and it's even nicer that this unit has the feature that allows you to plug something in after an outage occurs instead of only the devices already plugged in. It's working great, now if only Windows would be as reliable.

backup time

equipment drawing 5 watts, backup time?
according to the APC website, a 5 watt load on this unit should last 417 minutes. There are likely other circumstances that need to be considered before you can get a reliably accurate calculation, though.

How long does the backup system run if it is connected to a home security system?

that's entirely variable depending on how much load the security system places on the backup. To get a better answer, I believe APC / Schneider Electric has an online tool to help you select which model is best for you ( a UPS Selector ) and you can also chat with their support crew to get a good idea.

can i use the battery backup with a hdtv?

certainly, as long as your total load doesn't exceed the rating of the unit. Our living room HDTV and PVR setup are connected to battery backups. It's nice that when the lights flicker or go out, we can continue watching the program without interruption. If the outage becomes extended, it's important to pay attention to how much battery life is left and not leave it until too late.

Can I also plug in those 6-8 xtra plug power strips?

I'm pretty sure APC says "NO" but I've been using one of mine that way because I've got so many low powered devices. It hasn't given me any noticeable trouble, yet. It would be nice if there were an explanation why we're not supposed to.
