Reviews around expect (5.00 of 5)

  • Works as expected...been using to protect our Point of Sale (POS) system.
  • Works as expected, and while you can make an argument that these non-online or smaller units don't provide solidly clean power from the battery (instead of the regular electricity that comes into your home or apartment that is spikey and 'dirty', which can damage computer components just from regular use

Reviews around size (4.43 of 5)

  • I was pleased with the compact size and the features of this unit.
  • Nice compact size, this is perfect for a workstation UPS.
  • Small size is perfect and the design/layout is what I wanted
  • If you don't get the most expensive, largest size, then you're effectively buying a surge protector that weighs a ton and takes up tons of space and only has four slots

Reviews around quality (3.97 of 5)

  • After 4 months, exactly when run out of warranty - Same thing!No power out of the battery backup outlets (NEW battery, though!).So, BAD QUALITY!My other (different model
  • So it's not even a power surge that killed it - as far as we can tell it's just the power on/off button that is broken or the battery that won't re-charge.
  • This is the second one that I bought!! very good quality!
  • I don't really think it would hurt the unit, but this one has an audible alarm that sounds if it is being overdrawn, as well as when it is operating from battery power
  • I have experienced one power outage since having this, the system worked (as it should) flawlessly, safely shutting down my computer, modem, and monitor.

Reviews around work (3.93 of 5)

  • These are great friends during storm season since if the power does not return you have time to shut down your important work and your computer, or if you have an autostart generator, your ups will keep things going until the generator kicks in (they take 5-10 seconds to warm up and
  • I'm unclear of how I will do that, but it does work great.
  • It has been working great to keep the tv from rebooting.
  • Lost my work and co wants me to pay for return shipping on their crappy product

  • I was using this unit to power a small Mac Mini I was using as a server, as well as some networking equipment
  • Great affordable choice to big costly lost information and damaged equipment.
  • Stay away from this unit and stay away from dishonest companies purposefully making useless equipment.

  • If you have a fair amount of computer or entertainment equipment and occasionally have power bumps this will protect both the equipment and your data.

Reviews around beep (1.50 of 5)

  • Only disadvantage is the power rating at 255 watts, which apparently I am maxing out with four devices into the battery side because I'm getting loud audible error beeps when it overloads the battery
  • Periodically it will cut the power and this awful beep comes on.
  • The beep is only useful if the UPS is protecting me and I need to save and shutdown.
  • You can turn off the beep and it's really compact relative to other UPS.
  • Everything was working properly until we heard a faint beeping sound.....low and behold, it was an alarm because there was too much power running thru and it was overloaded

Reviews around storm (1.29 of 5)

  • Days after this arrived, we had an extended power outage due to some strong storms.
  • Living in the midwest with severe storms often during the summer and winter storms during the winter, it will pay for itself many times over.
  • Now recently we had a storm pass through and knock the power out several times and every time this immediately clicked on and kept the heater and thermostat running.
  • Couple of days ago, a storm was raging while I was trying to do usual work on CPU; household power blinked several times, but my CPU components were plugged into this device, and nothing shut down.
  • We had a really bad electrical storm, and power dimmed a few times before going out

Reviews around drive (1.25 of 5)

  • If you have external hard drive that constantly runs you need one of these to make sure your HD doesn`t break when power goes out while it`s operating.
  • I use it only to protect my NAS drive which draws miniscule.
  • I have my PC, the Monitor, the printer and one of my external hard drives hooked up to the powered outlets
  • There is enough space between the outlets that you actually can hook up all those units with their sometimes bulky plug-ins (especially some external hard drives which use power converters).I also like the compact and lightweight design, because space is at a premium in my home office
  • I have a desktop with a printer, scanner and several external hard drives.
