So far, so good
rating: 4
I've only had this for a month or two, but it has been good so far. I live in a rural area that has fairly frequent power flickers. I bought this to keep my computer from losing power during the one-second episodes. I haven't had any power glitches yet, but I like this unit because it is small compared to most battery backups and the price was good. The only improvement I would make is to separate the outlets more so that items with an over-sized transformer plug would not cover up the adjacent outlet. But I only need two of the six and it's not a problem for me.

Does what I expected
rating: 5
Nice small footprint. Keeps the computer accessories and answering machine from needing to be reset when the electric flashes.

CRAPPY UPS
rating: 2
I bought this ups because of the outside the box message "15 minutes backup". But the UPS only with my iMac 2007 can't handle more than 3 minutes when the AC power is out. Fortunately the iMac shut down in a very few seconds and the UPS still OK for me, but BELKIN lies when offers up to 15 minutes of backup time, its a fake. The software that came in the box didn't work neither my iMac nor my PC and i had to download the software in the belkin's web site.

I own three companies
I have contacted Belkin to purchase several units.
No one could speak Enlish or answer a question about this product.It took 40 minutes for them to get my phone number right. That was a waste of time as well since they never called or E mailed me back.
I will never know if the product works or not because I don't have that much time to waste trying to talk to them,

Worst UPS on the Market
rating: 1
Don't be fooled by Belkin's bells and whistles. I deal with a lot of computer equipment that needs surge and battery backup and Belkin is by far the worst. Their products are cheaply made and generally fail after a couple of years of use. On one, I couldn't adjust the Voltage Sensitivity although Belkin Support insisted I could. That unit worked on and off. Before that one gave me problems, I bought a second one which after a couple of years would just shut down on power loss, giving no clue of why. Its the transfer circuit which no doubt is cheaply made. I've taken these units apart and they are crap. They look pretty on the outside and the software brags of all these features but they are so cheaply made as to be completely worthless after a year or so. Buy Tripp Lite, a little more money but a much better investment.
