Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • This was a good-priced battery back up that I needed in a pinch, made by a good company
  • i've bought 3 of these and they are consistently great ... long battery life, good software and low price
  • Rarely loose power that long so this is perfect for great price
  • This was a special Black Friday or Cyber Thursday deal - so the price was right.
  • I like the slim upright design, the price is reasonable and it has been working well.

Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • Just the right size to support our cable modem and Orbi environment during a short power outage
  • Keeps all our security cameras at the proper location and size, even through a power outage
  • The size/shape of this is perfect - it is just a bit bigger than a powerstrip and it fits on the floor under my desk just like a regular power strip, so it's the perfect size and shape.
  • These are the perfect size to fit behind furniture, they can protect from surge and/or have the battery backup.
  • It works great and nicely sized for the power it provides.

Reviews around value (4.18 of 5)

  • However for the price and basic Functionality this still was a great purchase and value.
  • I purchased APC ES 750 that I know works as I've purchased before but from Staples
  • Reporting/Event logging is also buggy (wrong values displayed, e.g 12.2 VAC input vs 122 VAC, 10% charge VS 100% charge, I guess the Home versions of the UPS's report with less precision and the software doesn't account for that) with the professional edition with this unit
  • When I opened the battery compartment to find it scratched up as if it was kicked across the floor.

Reviews around ups (3.96 of 5)

  • I wouldn’t recommend this UPS, spend a little more on a better model.
  • This is a great UPS overall and will ensure you have wifi for about a day, or TV and wifi for a few hours, should the power go out
  • It's a nice UPS that does the job under Florida's numerous power outages and brown outs.
  • I had a power surge, and it not only killed the internet router this this was supposed to protect it killed the the UPS itself.
  • This is a decent "dumb" UPS for non-critical applications

Reviews around coil whine (1.00 of 5)

  • Poor build quality, high pitched coil whine while running, bad spacing of plugs on the ends.

  • The unit itself seems to handle power interruptions just fine, but in a quiet room the coil whine is unbearable.
  • I swear this is the worst coil whine I've ever heard from electronics
  • I can't sleep/work/study with the coil whine going in the background.
