Peace of Mind
Ever been in the middle of a spreadsheet or document and your power takes a hit? Bummer. APC makes a great line of backup batteries. We chose the 850 model for value and time for our display, printer, and desktop. Have not lost anything in this summer of major lightning storms. Peace of mind.

Great
Works wonderfully . I use it in my office and I appreciate the spacing between plug ins and the USB ports... great for temporary power outages or if you need to charge your
Phone when the power is out.

Good UPS at a good price
I've purchased and used various APC UPS products at my home for about 20 years. They have always worked well, and I've never lost any equipment or data to power line problems. I love the form factor of this particular UPS because it fits nicely into a bracket attached to the underside of my wooden desk which helps keep the various power cords organized and off the floor...

UPS - Small but has 850VA & 9 Outlets
My old UPS was beeping constantly. The battery wouldn't charge. I like the small size of this one. IT also has 2 USB charging ports.

Perfect UPS for my home computer setup
I selected this UPS for my home laptop, docking station and 2 large monitors. The UPS was tested with my setup and it was rated to last 60+ minutes. Not bad.
My home networking equipment is already protected with this same exact UPS. It was tested to last 45 minutes on my networking devices: router, wifi, fiber, Ooma and various IoT devices.

Great Unit!
Powers my All-in-One desktop, cordless phone and modem for at least 45 minutes. This is my 2nd APC UPS 850 VA . First one lasted almost 10 years. Will buy again.

APC Back-UPS 850VA is a great buy for backup power
The APC Back-UPS 850VA is a great buy for backup power and surge protection. It is compact and convenient, and easy to set up. It has enough outlets on the battery side and on the surge protection side for my home computer setup. I've used APC Back-UPS backups for years and consider them the go-to source for confident protection.

Compact and powerful UPS to protect my equpment
This UPS is compact and has enough power to help protect my devices (and provide a bit of run-time) when the power drops. Keeps the 'brownouts' from affecting my equipment as well.

will have to return it
The product will not support a router and switch. I wanted it to protect the router and the printers. It has something wrong with it.

So Many Plugs!
I continue to appreciate APC's BackUPs equipment to protect my electronics. However, some one missed the proverbial boat some where along the way. Each of my devices designed with with a plug-end power transformer is oriented 90 degrees out of alignment with the UPC's plugs. It's still necessary to use outlet expanders to get every thing plugged in. Thank goodness for t...

Works, So Far
Bought recently to replace a smaller unit that died rather suddenly without warning. (Note: When they fail their test, they whine continuously and it can't be stopped.) (Note 2: Unlike older units by this brand, you can't just replace the battery.)
Big annoyance: outlets are too close together for using multiple items with transformers. A couple of them are spaced o...
