I already own 2 other APC battery backups, the larger ones (1000 and 1500). They are reliable and that's important to me- I live in an area that has high winds and lots of power "dips" and short outages. Every time they kick in as they are supposed to do, so I thought I'd buy a third one, the 750 unit, for my large TV set up. I got tired of the cable data disappearing for every power dip, and the 5 or 6 minutes it would take to reboot the cable box after each one. I installed this just like a regular surge protector strip to protect a 55" TV, large Sound Bar, cable box, and PS3. 2 days after installation there was a power blink- and it worked great. The units did not skip a beat. IT's doing exactly what I bought it to do. I like the 2 sides- one for surge protection only (can use for lights, etc), and the other for surge and battery backup. I have had the other 2 units for almost 2 years and they have been used several times. This one is newer, so I cannot comment on longevity. I am happy with this purchase.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, reliable
What's not so great: Would like an interface screen for TV
