This battery backup features 8 outlets for use with numerous electronics, including printers, monitors, scanners and more. EMI/RFI filters shield electromagnetic interference and a resettable circuit breaker lets you reset in case of an overload.

Not as advertised. The model is CPS425Ga NOT CPS425SL. I bought 2 on sale @ $29.99 since the batteries died in two of my existing UPS's. Now I know why they were so cheap. The 425Ga has no communications with the computer and therefore cannot perform an orderly shut down when it runs out of juice. I have a 550SL and it works well. I think the Ga must have been designed for ancillary things like cable modems, routers, switches, printers, speakers, etc, although you would never know it from reading the product description. If that's what you want it for, they are OK. If you want to keep your computer from crashing and trashing your system, make sure the UPS can talk to the computer.
What's great about it: OK, for what it does
What's not so great: Doesn't do what I thought
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
