Reviews around surge protection (5.00 of 5)

  • so I ordered this and found out it's nothing more than a glorified power strip with surge protection.
  • Be sure to note which of the plugs are surge protection only
  • Haven't had a power outage yet to test that feature however do love that there are 3 dedicated outlets for battery back up and 2 for just the surge protection.
  • It'll trip the surge protection and go into battery mode, forcing you to reset
  • I think the surge protection is still working, but the battery backup function is not working.

Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • This UPS is a great value and with a $6 smart outlet provides the same monitoring ability as much more expensive models.
  • Great UPS system for the house been using it now for few months fantastic value for the money.
  • I have had two power outages since starting to buy these (started with 5 and I add one every month) and they worked as I expected them to.
  • They provide no sensors or computer connectivity, they will not shut your devices down when power fails, nor will they report battery data to NUT, but they are a decent value for what they are.

Reviews around light (5.00 of 5)

  • LED status light shows more than unit on and unit on UPS.C.
  • The led status light is pretty bright but a little tape takes care of that.
  • Plugged in my computer and monitor to the surge/battery outlets and an LED light to a surge only outlet.
  • I even power the living room light with it, and as that light is LED like all others in my apartment, it burns very little power but providing the same light intensity
  • The red light would stay lit solid saying there is a ground fault
