Such peace of mind as an emergency battery backup
Okay, I love this thing! When I first opened the box, I was surprised by how large and heavy it was, expecting your average surge protector. However, once I rearranged a couple things to make room for this to be hidden under our office desk, it was all uphill from there. There are eight outlets and two USBs to keep devices protected on a day-to-day basis with surge prot...

Standby UPS Surge Protector
A combination of living in the midwest and being a full time work-from-home employee lead me to this standby UPS surge protector. We get occasional thunderstorms that knock our power out for short periods of time. Being able to plug my router and laptop into it during those outages is a game changer. You initially plug it in for 8 hours to charge it but then it does all...

Not a power bank
I was very excited to get it and I tested it thoroughly with different appliances. It had a maximum load of the battery is 360w so it can't run high powered appliances, like a Fridge or fridge, but it's perfect for keeping the router on for ages so I can stay connected. It'll run the TV, not for very long.
It's extremely handy and versatile. I can connect to a computer ...

peace of mind gaming
I am in love with this surge protector and power supply. I play a lot of online games and have a lot plugged in in my living room to where the breaker would trip while playing. And if you are in a competitive match online, that can kick you out and drop your score. I love that this gives me enough time to flick the breaker back on (when it happens) and gives protection ...

Where I live, power outages due to high winds is always a possibility. This surge protector gives the perfect peace of mind to be able to safely keep devices connected as well as keep the power to continue working on my laptop o...

Compact size for large scale function
Alright, when we first opened this, my husband was like "Woah- that's huge". However, I would like to pause right there and say that for the amount of functionality this thing has, it is a lot smaller and more compact than I was anticipating. Now that we've addressed that—this thing is amazing. Upon receipt, after discussing size with my husband, I immediately knew wher...

Reliable UPS
Overall, incredibly happy with the surge protector power strip. While some of the reviews I read said that it was like a large brick, for what you’re getting including multiple outlets and two USB ports along with battery back up, I find this to smaller than expected when it arrived. It’s also pretty incognito and doesn’t necessarily stand out when placed inconspicuousl...

Great protection for power outage
The Staples Tech Surge Protector Standby UPS is a beast!
Upon opening the package, this is a very solid and well built unit. It has 8 outlets along with 2 USB-A, 5ft cord which is ample.

Good for a small office with room for improvement
I’ve been using this uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with my small home office setup—consisting of a MacBook Pro, a secondary monitor, and an external hard drive—and it’s proven to be a solid solution for basic backup and surge protection. The 360W of power handles short outages well and provides peace of mind during power fluctuations - and believe me, we’ve had a l...

The beast of surge protectors
So I wanted to try this surge protector power 'strip' (more like box or brick) because we get frequent thunderstorms this time of year in the NE US - so power surges/electricity loss. My brother lost his gaming system at one point from a power surge to his apartment and needless to say he was SUPER upset. The fact that there's battery back up to give you time to proper...

A nice little UPS
So far I'm happy with the battery backup (UPS) surge protector! I've tested it as much as I can so far, but haven't had a real world outage to test it with! Mostly pros, with a couple questions/cons.
Pro: arrived well packaged and was easy to set up. Mine came with the battery disconnected for shipping, you just match the red to red and black to back. Easy peasy. At 3...

Useful and User Friendly UPS
Over the last few weeks I have used the Staples Tech 650VA Battery Back-Up & Surge Protector (8 Outlet + 2 USB-A) to support my computer, router, and home security hub, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Right out of the box, it was incredibly user-friendly—installation was quick and simple, and everything was up and running in minutes. The 8 outlets provid...

Small but mighty workhorse UPS
My overall impression of this surge protector power strip has been very positive. It's a solid and reliable solution for anyone needing both surge protection and battery backup, especially in a home office or small workspace.

Does the job
This does the job! It works as described and I like that it also has USB plug ins. The only thing I don't like is that it is large, though that tends to be the case with surge protectors.

Game Changer
This surge protector is such a game changer. Living in California, we have frequent planned power outages due to wild fire dangers. As someone who works from home on a computer this has caused issues in the past.

Great power strip with backup power
We’ve been using the Staples Tech Surge Protector Standby UPS as the central charging station for our home, and overall, we’re very impressed with its performance and reliability.

Home Office Power Strip
I use this power strip in the home office of my older house. It is nice to have the protection against power surges. Living in a more rural area I have power outages during storms and high winds. When I work remotely, hosting meetings and webinars I needed something to lessen the disturbance of power outages. My laptop, additional monitors, speakers, cell charger, webin...

Staples Tech Surge Protector Standby UPS 8 Outlet
I have to say I never knew this type of surge protector even existed. This is a true game changer for me. We lose power frequently and this alleviates some of the stress associated with that. I sometimes work from home on really stormy days and having this now in case of an outage, I would not have to lose time working due to power failures. I would also try to plug in...

Protect your investments
As a business owner I have owned many surge protectors over the years some better than others but never with battery backup capabilities. I decided to put this product to the test and focus on my more important units that need to be powered like my Lorex camera system and the Ring alarm base. I've been using this product for about 2 to 3 weeks so far I have had only on...

Works well for small loads
Overall, this surge protector power strip seems like a decent budget option for protecting a budget family computer, a printer, and maybe a wifi router. The surge protector power strip's battery outlets are collectively limited to 360 watts, even when the battery is not active. If the power draw goes over 360 watts, an alarm sounds for a couple of seconds before cutting...
