APC Back-UPS ES 350VA - 350VA 200W - 2.3 Minute Full-load - 4 x NEMA 5-15R - Battery Backup System, 4 x NEMA 5-15R - Surge-protected - BE350R

I purchased this as my second battery backup system of this same type and brand. The first one was great. The second one was a dud, and did not provide any battery backup. Unfortunately I wanted more than two weeks to discover this and cannot send it back. Take your chances but test the system. I hope it works as a surge protector at least.

This is my second purchase (replacement) of the APC Back-UPS ES unit. My first lasted longer than the warranty period. This product is reliable for protection of my home computer equipment, and the price is good. Would definitely recommend.

This UPS is a great buy and is designed to power your computer, monitor, and DSL/cable modem through brief power interruptions such as commonly occur during thunderstorms, so you don't lose data. With the included software and connector you can arrange it to gracefully shut down your PC if the power loss is more than just a blink and you are somewhere else. Run time is limited (roughly 1-2 minutes) but larger models are available. The Buy.com price is little more than a decent outlet strip with surge protection, something everyone needs anyway. In fact, it has built-in surge protection, including for extra outlets not on battery back-up. It's a quality product and works as advertised.

A great UPS for a single PC where you don't need long operation without power... it will let you survive brief power fluctuations and if you save your work properly will let you survive long ones without data loss... make sure you get a new one, every 18-24 months and life will be grand.

Worked as indicated. Battery life is about 3-5 minutes.

Easy setup. Somewhat shorter backup time than hoped for, but enough to allow attached equipment to power down.

I have used many brands of UPS's. APC has consistently knocked it out of the ballpark for me over the years. Out of the 2 or 3 dozen UPS's I have purchased for business over the years, I have rarely had issues with the APC brand, but much too often had issues with other brands. This product is a very reasonably priced UPS from a great company. I'd take it over any other UPS in its price range.

I bought this UPS to support our modem, routers and switch for our network at church. Setup was easy, and of course I've probably got more runtime than necessary but the price was right. Another great APC product.
