I originally purchased 2 of these to help protect some of my more expensive equipment from surges (1 each in my home office & front room) after my electric company gave me the proverbial finger when I filed a claim on a $350 video surveillance system that had the hard drive controller get fried after a surge that happened when they were repeatedly turning the power on & off; I later bought a 3rd one & am expecting I may purchase a 4th in the future.
So far, I've seen very little issue with them, even getting some usage on the devices that are plugged into them during a power outage (although I usually unplug those devices from them to preserve the battery life in case the power is out for 3 or more days again, intending on using that battery life to charge my phone if necessary). I'm impressed with their performance so far & really have nothing to say negative about them for the time being. The only thing I can really say is to watch what outlets you plug your devices into if you want battery backup on them; 2 of the outlets on the device do NOT provide battery backup, only surge protection.
UPDATE: I have purchased 6 of these since July 09, 2021, I had my first one conk out tonight (early morning) on December 17, 2023, resulting in a shrill, never-ending beep & not powering anything. This was one of the first ones I purchased, which has had heavy use on it from a gaming computer that is almost never turned off. It worked well while I was using it, although I will point out it don't last long when the power is out with the computer using power off of it (normally the PC is turned off in a power outage). I moved one of the newer ones from my bedroom into the office to replace the one that went out for my computer & have ordered another to replace it (this being my seventh one).
UPDATE: The earliest I have had one of these conk out was a little over 6 months (another one going out tonight on 2/2/2024), so life of this device varies; I think I might start getting the extended warranty when I purchase a new one (I probably could have gotten a free replacement on this last one to go out)...
