It provides smooth, constant power even when the lights flicker and gives me time to do a powered shut down.

I haven't had a power outage so unable to see how it handles any power surges.

Don't you hate it when you are out of the house, the power to your home goes off for a few minutes and you lose the show (or a good chunk of the TV show) you had set to record.

I killed power a few times.

Essentially no measurable power draw (or not enough power draw) to change the read out on the Tripp Lite, but now my office phone works when the power goes off

17- the first time I lost power for an extended period this UPS did not provide any backup power and either permitted/contributed to damaging my Western Digital MyCloud and my Western Digital My Book

Then we lost power, but the battery backup didn't kick in which confused me

This causes the connected hardware to lose power for a second and reboot

This one has ample room to allow the placement of at least two bulky AC power supplies without losing a socket.

So far, this has been a great power strip and surge protector

When my house lost power the UPS immediately turned off

Don't you hate it when you are out of the house, the power to your home goes off for a few minutes and you lose the show (or a good chunk of the TV show) you had set to record.

The power here isn't very reliable (brown out about once a month) so I need to protect my work from random power loss

Works great in weak power grids to save your computers.

I have a Sony HD Radio poolside that looses its settings when ever we lose power

Just spend a little more and get a bigger, better battery, this is a overpriced power strip

It provides smooth, constant power even when the lights flicker and gives me time to do a powered shut down.

Moreover, we have not lost power at all in the last 6 days, so it's not been running on battery.

It has allowed a "soft" power down of the protected equipment after several sudden power outages and the automatic power shut-off to peripherals is a really positive benefit as well that certainly has the potential to pay back some of its cost over time

Now when we lose power, I don't have to reset everything

The monitoring software is very full featured, including SMTP based alerts when the power goes off, and configurable alarms.

As an expensive power strip, it excels.

i own a few for different rooms in house, a small energy pull will gibe you more back up power.

Great power backup.

This unit took care of a lot of intermittent power hit problems I was having with my TV and WiFi
