Reviews around advertise (5.00 of 5)

  • I, too, received a unit that had a newer battery installed after its initial manufacture, but it works as advertised.
  • that being said, it did work as advertised during a short power outage several months ago.
  • The unit works as advertised however was order wrong due to no ground (third pole) so I could not use it
  • Works as advertised especially when AT&T u-verse drops your DSL phone line when power goes off.
  • It worked as advertised, but I only let the test go for 30 minutes, so I don't know if it will go for hours

Reviews around surge protection (5.00 of 5)

  • This looked like the perfect solution for VOIP modem battery backup and surge protection.
  • I also have a cordless phone charging station plugged into this, purely for the surge protection
  • The unit produces surge protection as an added benefit to the battery backup
  • When you remove the battery, any devices plugged into the UPS do not have back-up power, but they still have surge protection
  • Bought one of these to provide surge protection and power backup for my router and FIOS gateway.

Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • but if this doesn't bother you...go for the BE550G!But for aesthetics, no wall-wart and the fact that this device works as
  • Excellent value for its exact use: backs up smaller network routers, modems, phone etc
  • Great value for $25, modem lasted 4 hours, put a 2nd one on the router/switch and got over 8 hours (Google Wifi & 4 port Linksys Gigabit switch)
  • I wish I would have held of on purchasing a week because I really feel this would have been a better value with the USB for 25

Reviews around price (4.76 of 5)

  • That's still better than I would get on a bigger UPS unit shared with other devices, and the price is right.
  • If you need longer times, you're in the wrong price range by a factor of 4.The surge protection it offers - which like any surge protector can be a bit of a crap shoot in terms of effectiveness, but still better far better than nothing
  • Price was the best for any ups in this or slightly higher power range
  • Very happy with this purchase, and got it at a great price
  • However, great price compared to other backups in the same category

Reviews around work (4.66 of 5)

  • This has worked great for me to keep my network up in power outages.
  • We experience not infrequent blackouts in our area, so having one or a few can save work when you're doing real work on a computer or just playing games on a console so you don't lose your valuable work or game progress
  • I was originally concerned about the date of manufacture but both back-ups have worked flawlessly
  • It does the job but it is SUPER sensitive to power flux and multiple times a day it starts beeping in a shockingly loud manner which is not healthy when you're working quietly in the office
  • I did not lose my work; and was able to finish what I was doing with no problem

Reviews around item (4.63 of 5)

  • Wonderful item works great seems to be exactly ad described
  • Nice item, but the age of the included battery is almost three years
  • Was cleaning out some items and stumbled upon this.
  • So you can plug in your modem, your router, your phone, and maybe a tablet (not all at once of course!)This item will be perfectly appropriate for many people.
  • Very handy item to have in case of power outages, keep your internet connection for up to 3 hrs. during outages.

Reviews around light (3.84 of 5)

  • I didn't really find a way to disable the blinking lights, so this may not be the best bedroom appliance
  • The green light is also super bright from the power button that also can't be turned off
  • Green lights are very bright when on AC power, which may make it unsuitable for a bedroom if you like it dark
  • Only complaint is the green light that I had to put tape over to keep it from lighting up my room at night.
  • My biggest complaint is the bright light behind the "on" button.

Reviews around thing (3.51 of 5)

  • The thing I really like about this unit is that it doesn't annoy you with extended beeping as soon as the power goes off
  • This is a great thing if power goes out for a short time.
  • The great thing is I received the unit with a bonus battery
  • This device worked, until I ripped the thing appart to prevent it from beeping
  • And trust me, when the power goes out, the last thing you want is no internet to kill the time lol

Reviews around device (3.47 of 5)

  • this is not a UPS for a computer, it's a UPS for simple, dumb, very low power devices, and it's done quite well at running them in my testing so far.
  • This device is worse than no UPS at all, IMO.It is irresponsible of APC to market this UPS for network devices
  • Works great is a great add on to a full size UPS just to keep the network up as my other devices kill the bigger UPS in under an hour.
  • Not only did the devices continue to work, but I also was able to continue to charge my phone while the power was out.
  • Nice that it also has the USB ports for a quick charge of portable devices in an emergency.

Reviews around battery (3.41 of 5)

  • Battery chemistry is such that even unused, even if they just sit they degrade over time, particularly larger batteries.
  • It does what it says but batteries have become very expensive and it only has 1 battery
  • Battery is old and scratched up, can't return due to the return policy not accepting batteries.
  • I like that the battery is easily accessible & replaceable for when that time comes (as it always does with a UPS)
  • but I use them once in a while to recharge my portable battery packs.

Reviews around unit (3.16 of 5)

  • BGE90M unit is compact and works well, but the battery is definitely NOT Lithium, despite what the description says
  • Tape was resealed and unit itself had some brown smudges like it was not cleaned thoroughly
  • If your unit should ever go bad don't expect to get a replacement soon or ever
  • bonkers!)This will be my unit of choice for getting online while off
  • Our back-up unit was easy to set up and is compact enough that it fits where we keep the networking equipment

Reviews around alarm (2.26 of 5)

  • I have no idea why the put an audible alarm in this cheap UPS.
  • At night, a small power glitch will sound the alarm and wake me up
  • but if this doesn't bother you...go for the BE550G!But for aesthetics, no wall-wart and the fact that this device works as
  • The one that affects me most is the incredibly loud alarm that sounds when there is some kind of significant power transition
  • There is no way to turn off audible alarm on BGE70 unit thru any options APC offers - FACT

Reviews around time (2.22 of 5)

  • Don't waste your time with outdated lead-acid battery towers; Lithium Ion is the new standard for UPS
  • After giving this unit sufficient time to charge itself, I cut the power to this unit, my modem and my router, and it kept them powered for about 2.5 hours
  • So I am keeping my fingers crossed that the third time is the charm.
  • , why should we waste our time to fix something that should be working
  • And trust me, when the power goes out, the last thing you want is no internet to kill the time lol

Reviews around complaint (2.18 of 5)

  • I ignores the complaints when reading the reviews
  • but if this doesn't bother you...go for the BE550G!But for aesthetics, no wall-wart and the fact that this device works as
  • I have had this unit six months and the only negative complaint I have is the loudness of the alarm when it enters the battery state
  • All in all... a great, and well thought-out idea.
  • A little bulkier than I would have liked, my only real complaint is that the plugs are all in the same alignment, with makes it difficult with three horizontal-oriented transformers, and while there seems like a lot of space between the plugs, there functionally isn't.

Reviews around fish tank (1.69 of 5)

  • Buying three more as soon as I can for the other 3 fish tanks
  • We used this during hurricane Irma to keep our fish tank going until we could get the generator running
  • If you have a fish tank and want piece of mind without spending a lot more money, these upcs will fit the bill perfectly.
  • I have 3 fish tanks and have been procrastinating getting a back up system in place
  • All in all... a great, and well thought-out idea.

Reviews around beep (1.19 of 5)

  • Cannot turn off the loud beep on any power outage/fluctuation
  • The power went out in the middle of the night and the long beep was unbelievably loud
  • Also, Unlike Many Other UPS Devices -This UPS Does Not Emit the Annoying "Beep - Beep - Beep" during a power failure
  • Hopefully future generations will learn the beeping is not a good thing,,just give me power,when I need it.
  • A major positive is no obnoxious beep when running stand alone

Reviews around power flicker (1.00 of 5)

  • No more losing connection when the power flickers on and off.
  • This works great for keeping the WiFi from having to be reset with every little power flicker
  • This serves the purpose of keeping that all alive--modem, wi-fi router, and the voice over internet contraption all working when the power flickers or goes out and stays out.
  • If you want to be startled in the middle of the night or you want hearing loss whenever your power flickers, this is the device for you.
  • After several power flickers one night we decide we wanted another UPS but one that was, a little less expensive and would be good enough for just the router

Reviews around power loss (1.00 of 5)

  • When you hear the click of a power loss in the middle of the night, you won't even think about having to deal with your modern or router in the morning
  • I think I would get even more time if could use the USB as opposed to the 110v cause there must be power loss there.
  • devices that use smaller chargers but are vital in the event of a power loss
  • Prior to this, would lose connection after a power loss
  • I use it to power my 32" TV and USB powered Stick PC so that I don't loose anything from a power loss.

Reviews around power glitches (1.00 of 5)

  • For short power glitches, which is what most outages generally are (where the generator would not kick in anyway), it also provides good backup.
  • This keeps them from having to reinitialize in case of power glitches or short power outages
  • I no sooner finished wiring everything up, when I realized - what happens with one of our famous power glitches
  • During the summer months I get many power glitches sometimes several times a day
  • 2018 edit: the backup has been through a couple of power glitches now, and my internet connection stayed strong throughout

Reviews around power issue (1.00 of 5)

  • One died after about 6 months, just suddenly started a constant beep when there were no power issues - turned it off and on again, and it did it again in the middle of the night a couple of days later.
  • My MacBook battery has needed replacing for over a year now, but this would be its fourth new battery and I am just not inclined to pay Apple new money until they deal with some of their power issues
  • Great it keeps my modem going and another one keeps my wireless home phone working when storms cause power issues
  • Nice no longer having my network go out if there is a power issue

Reviews around power glitch (1.00 of 5)

  • Don't wait till you have a power glitch to find out its really defective.
  • At night, a small power glitch will sound the alarm and wake me up
  • It keeps my wireless access point running when I unplug the UPS from the wall, so it's probably good during an extended power outage, but both times we recently had a brief power glitch during storms, the access point still rebooted, so I'm not sure why the UPS didn't keep it running stably.
