I like the fact that all the plugs have a wide separation and are clearly marked which are for backup and which are surge protection only

Can't even use it for just surge protection.

devices other than the TV get surge protection only.

I have a laptop with docking station, an external hard drive, a monitor, a printer, a desk lamp, and a digital voice recorder dock all running through the unit (some, like the printer, dictator and the lamp with surge protection only), and there's no strain on the unit

Perfect for surge protection and ups

Plus, I've recently read that its a good idea to replace every 3-4 yrs as the surge protection is probably greatly compromised by then.

It's Battery Backup & Surge Protection capability preserves your high-tech investments from damage

Since that, I have been using it only as surge protection

The surge protection feature also provides protection.

Nice compact UPS, but be aware it only has 3 plugs for UPS backup and the other three are simply surge protection.

The surge protection-only outlets still work, though.

Also provides surge protection

Happily have not had to test surge protection.

Much cheaper than the 'Whole House" surge protection offered at a monthly rate by Tampa Electric

I know some of the outlets are surge protection only and some are battery backup,

Bought it for it's lighter weight, 900 joules surge protection, and basic battery backup, gives me enough time to save what I'm working on, and shut down

There may be some surge protection value with these units but as for uninterrupted power they are disappointing.

This is a well designed battery backup, providing two surge protection sockets and four surge protection with battery backup

Still have 3 open outlets for just surge protection

Three battery powered receptacles and three with surge protection, only

surge protection side still lets power flow thru, battery side dead 100%

The four surge protection sockets are sized large enough to accommodate A/C adapters, which would otherwise take up more than one outlet

Two outlets on the "surge protection" side and two on the "surge + battery protection" side accommodate large power adapters, and an additional two on each side fit regular size plugs

The surge protection side

A nice added feature is surge protection for a telephone line to protect phone/fax equipment during lightning storms.
