Choking Hazard:
Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Pros: Product was easy to set up and use - it is used for my hardware firewall and routers. No-hassle return - see below.
Cons: First shipment did not work. Began smoking immediately upon plugging it in.
Overall Review: Original shipment was returned, and the second product, reviewed here, works great
Pros: Battery backup works ok
Cons: They DID NOT honor warranty after a lightning strike damaged 'protected' equipment.
Overall Review: If I could give them negative eggs it would be a -3.
Pros: I like this style APC backup. It is a compact design and I now have 3 of them. They have worked well.
Cons: The battery was already 18 months old when I received the backup. The stated life expectancy of the battery is 3 to 5 years. I have already lost a large amount of the life of the battery.
Overall Review: I would recommend APC backups but buy from a store which keeps a fresher inventory.
Pros:
At my battery replacement age of this product.. I bought this in 2010 it seems, and pretty sure this is my first time replacing the battery.
Has done its job all these years.
Cons: The front panel display you see is plastic and can slide off to reveal the actual LCD screen, this snapped in half on me a few years ago when I was moving the unit around. Cosmetic issue. No big deal.
Overall Review:
-Power occasionally going out forced me to buy this a few years back. Alas it has saved me many times, and maybe quite literally did when a hurricane hit
-Feature rich, and plenty of juice to power my desktop, my monitors, and all peripherals
-Has enough juice to power everything for about an hour
-It's very heavy. But that is to be expected, this is not a mobile UPS.
Pros:
Already had a couple of power outages from thunder storms recently and this kept my server running without a hitch!
I also like being able to see how much of a load is hooked up to it and how much time it's expected to have with the current load.
Cons:
Only big complaint I have is that i wish the outlets were rotated 90 degrees! With the current setup, I have my modem, router, & my server's power supplies hooked up to the battery. I wanted to be able to hook up a monitor to it, but due to my modem and router's power supplies, i had to force them on both the top-most and bottom-most outlets or else they would've taken up the other 3 outlets. They are both large enough it overlaps the outlet next to it too, so only the center outlet is available essentially. Plus, the power supply extends past the UPS's bottom edge, so it is now sitting on its side instead of upright. Not only that, but the other power supply at the top blocks the RJ45 input & output because of this! Although I don't find that to be as big of a deal since I have the modem's co-axial hooked up. It just would've been an extra safety net if I could've had it hooked up.
I've heard the complaints of other reviewers about the loud alarm when it goes off, but I don't need it, so I muted it with the button up top.
Overall Review:
Regardless of the big complaint, I'm very happy with it and it works as expected. Very useful and much needed for my 24/7 server!
11/19/2019 Edit: Still operating fine as usual! I decided to hook up a surge protector to the battery so that I can hook up everything plus the two monitors, so now it's standing upright like it should be!
As far as run times go with this hooked up (Modem, Router, PC, and two monitors) and battery at ~100%...
With the monitors turned off (~170 Watts): ~37 Minutes, ~23% Load
With the monitors turned on (~210 Watts): ~29 minutes, ~19% Load
Pros:
-Front panel screen with info that you can cycle with one of the buttons is very handy.
-Connect it to you PC and install the software for more info. You can also have it do certain things when the power goes out and how much of a wait before it acts... Basically it integrates with Windows power saving functions, the sleep time, screen off and hibernation... That sort of thing. Also shows you your power consumption and how much money it's costing to run what is connected.
-Handles my Gaming PC and G-SYNC monitor for about 6-8 minutes. i7 6700k @ 5.0GHZ, ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA, ASUS ROG STYRIX GTX 1080 TI Overclocked heavily, 32GB DDR4 @3200MHz, Coolermaster 360mm AIO with ARGB fans and pump head. 7 fans, 3 120mm REVEEN (yellow fin ones), 3 ARGB and controller 120mm Coolermaster on the AIO, the AIO pump, 5 HDDs - 3 Adata SU800 512GB in RAID 5, 2 - 2TB Seagate HDD 7200 rpm. Lots of external USB devices.
Cons: In my use case, a longer power cable though it should be fine for most.
Overall Review:
-Performs better than expected.
-Solid choice for a gaming pc setup.
-Software is a nice addition.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace my old APC UPS. This UPS runs great!! I always rely on APC to deliver high quality UPSes.
