Good product should be in $35 range

"Priced too high. Purchased only because it was on sale but still high I think. It appears they have not changed associated PowerChute software application in years so no new development efforts there. No new buttons/feautres on the unit itself either so no new feature/functionality here as well that I can see. You can turn off annoying beeps every 30 seconds via PowerChute software and just have it beep when its..." Read Full Review »

"Look, this is a simple UPS. It is more than adequate to run the normal home PC with monitor. It is not intended to run a printer and home PC. And it is only intended to run your system for a few minutes to allow you to shut the system down.



It does provide clean consistant power to your devices. I …"  Read Full Review »

"This is a good, sturdy, and easy to use product. The backup arrived nearly fully charged. It didn't take long to install and setup the software. The only con is that with my PC and Monitor attached, it only estimates 38 minutes of battery backup available should an outage occur. Otherwise, it is a g …"  Read Full Review »

"At less than $60, this is without a doubt, one of the best values on the market in a UPS. If you value your investment, no desktop computer should be running without one, because all it takes is just one power outage, or even a bad power surge for something to get fried. For little more than the pri …"  Read Full Review »

"First off, this won't be very useful if you're planning to use it for a TV or larger monitor along with a PC. This size UPS is best for small equipment that you need clean, conditioned, reliable power at all times. I bought this one recently for my 1TB NAS + wireless router, and that's it.

"I strongly recommend this backup. 90 percent of the time when my power is interrupted it's for a very short time. If you do online banking, online classes or just want to protect your computer from shutting off in the middle of a windows update, which is a very bad thing, I would buy this.
