Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The unit is small and compact and doesn't weigh much. Great quality battery backup. Replaces a 15-year-old apc unit.

It has 8 plugs, 4 for battery backup, and 4 for surge protection. One of each four outlets is spaced further from the others to allow for larger plugs or adapters.

no interruption to devices (router, modem, alarm system) during power-off or power-on sequence. Can be used to shut-down equipment in case of a long-term power outage. Provides enough time to run things without a no-notice shutdown.

The battery icon provides information regarding the charge remaining. The usb cord is included. It can be installed in minutes.

Plugged ups into wall outlet. Plugged devices into the ups. Bought this for power backup on a pellet stove.

The power was plugged into it the entire time. Without any power outage, shutdown and showing overload. Disconnected all devices, plugged it back in to the wall (0 load), in 5 minutes same error.
