Good for Short Outages

Tripp Lite ECO350UPS Energy Saving Green 350 VA 180 Watts 6 Outlets Standby UPS for PCs
Tripp Lite ECO350UPS Energy Saving Green 350 VA 180 Watts 6 Outlets Standby UPS for PCs

Pros: Can provide power from built-in battery even after being shut-down. (Once powered off, most standby UPS units stay off until utility power is restored)

Cons: Limited run-time but that's what the specs call for.

Overall Review: I bought this some time ago to power a cable TV box during hiccups in the utility power supply - those things take forever to reboot. Since then I've also hooked up an LED illuminated flat panel TV so the family can enjoy uninterrupted service when I have to get the generator running - think Hurricane Sandy. Provided one accepts quite limited run time - maybe 10 mins or so for my set up - this is an inexpensive and unobtrusive solution to poor power quality in rural areas. It's not perfect but it does do what the manufacturer claims.

Non Existent Support; Causes Crash Dumps

Avast Pro Antivirus 2018, 3 PCs / 2 Years [Key Card]
Avast Pro Antivirus 2018, 3 PCs / 2 Years [Key Card]

Pros: Cheap - but if that's what matters use the free version as the paid for variant still shows annoying pop-ups by default.

Cons: Support do not answer messages entered via their support portal. New Win10 notebook (Acer Aspire) constantly crashing and when I analysed the crash dump with MS DART tool, Avast drive found to be at fault. Lots of stupid pop-ups advertising more Avast products. These can be disabled but they should never be there in the first place in a paid for product.

OK for 50%, Not So Good Afterwards

Krazilla Blue 3600 mAh LED Light Power Bank, LED Flash Light KZP1011 Blue
Krazilla Blue 3600 mAh LED Light Power Bank, LED Flash Light KZP1011 Blue

Pros: When fully charged will fully replenish Samsung Galaxy S7. Slim and easy to fit in pocket Built in flashlight OK for emergency use

Cons: One charge below 50%, struggles to charge a connected cell phone. Rebate offers are lies - they don't send a rebate and don't respond to requests for rebate status sent to the E-Mail address they provide for just that purpose.

Overall Review: Since I only purchased this based on the proffered rebate, just 2 eggs. I'm sure for the money there are better products and there has to be better customer service.
