It has kicked in a few times already, although for just short power interruptions

If you live in an area where there are frequent power interruptions and you have a computer, this APC product is a valuable item to have.

We get several short power interruptions during storms and this prevents the satellite box from having to reset (which can take 5 - 10 minutes) and it protects the TV from the power surges, etc

It has already saved my butt numerous times as the power company, Florida Power & Light is well known for frequent momentary power interruptions.

You never loose or damage a file due to a power interruption.

I only expect it to cover the brief power interruptions supplied :) by the local grid.

Sometimes but for hearing the unit click when it performs its function, I would not even know that a power interruption had occurred.

The USB connection allows you to set exactly how the UPS will handle power interruptions and the warning beeps that sound when it kicks in are loud and clear.

Before installing this unit those short power interruptions would have shut down my computer necessitating a new start up

While you should NOT rely on it as an actual power source during a power interruption, it will keep your computer powered long enough to shut it down safely

We purchased this primarily to keep our pellet stove running in case of power interruptions

Works as advertised; provides good piece of mind for power interruptions.

This unit seems to work well, as I no longer suffer lockups of the blue ray player or loss of streamed video over the internet.
