Pros & Cons
Pros
This device has 8 electrical sockets. The other 4 are connected to the battery backup of the device. It has four outlets that are surge protected.
Spacing is wide enough for most of my ac plugs to plug in without loosing or having to have one spaced inbetween. The last two outlets have additional space between them and the next, allowing space toplug in transformer plugs. If you get the gan type... Read More
Lighter and more compact than the others and i was even able to easily mount it on the wall using the two keyhole slots on the bottom. It's a nice ups, not a ton of power, so it's good for laptops with lcd monitors.
Works just like a laptop. I have my sla printer hooked up on the and it works as intended. It works with my pc (hp omen 30 l) and my 4k monitor i have with no problem.
Cons
Internet550u shuts down without any power outage, shutdown and showing overload. Power cord is too short to allow me to connect everything to battery-backed outlets.
The battery in this device is a tiny little battery that you might find in a child's play toy. I was forced to google it.
Highlights
Quality
The modified uses a step wave much like the steps on a stair case, it is smooth enough to run modern flat screen tvs.
I like the compact design of this, works for me, i only hook up my router, home phone from fios, and modem to the backup.
It worked perfect and ran the stove until it shutdown for 30 minutes.
I set it for shut down after 2 minute of loss of power and i timed the shut-down twice to be sure ti worked correctly - confirmed.
Price
For the price it helps keep your pc/equipment up for a few minutes.
This is a really nice and inexpensive ups that i used to replace my old 300va unit that no longer had the number of plugs i nee... Read More
I bought it because the price was good.
Shipping
The ups was connected via a usb a to c cable and was recognized by the software immediately upon connection.
Arrived 2 days ago, last night we had major power surges and outage that lasted for 5 hours.
) for which they could not refund me but offered to send out an entire new ups unit which i accepted.
Item was as described and sent quickly.
Packaging/appearance
This unit is well-packaged, easy to set up, has english instructions, and seems to work effectively as a ups.
Competitiveness
I would have liked a digital display, but a similar unit with the lcd was twice the price, so for this application we went without the lcd.
