Amazon Basics UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector 800VA/450W, 12 Outlets, Standby Uninterruptible Power Supply, for Power Outage Protection, Compact, Black

i built a PC and i work from home, staying connected to the internet at all times is very important fore me. more importantly is making sure that my PC stays on and does not randomly shut off at any moment, causing me to lose all unsaved workthis product helps protect against that from happeningunlike a laptop that has a built in battery, a PC does not, so if your home power goes out, that's it. it's game over. your entire PC shuts down with your power, no running off battery, no nothinghowever, if you plug your PC into this product, then if your power goes out, you're pretty much safe. at least for 5-10 minutesjust today i was working and then randomly the electricity went out in my apartment. all my appliances shut off around me. this doesn't happen often, maybe like once a year. when this did happen, my computer was still running and i was still connected to the internet. everything was shutting off around me, yet i was still able to continue working on my PC as if nothing was happeninga couple of minutes go by, and the electricity turns back on. i didn't even notice it was gone because i was so focused on worknot only does this keep my PC powered on during outages, my internet stays on too. i didn't lose internet at all, everything was continuing to run smoothlyas i've mentioned before though, this power only lasts about 5-10 minutes if you've got a PC plugged in. the PC draws quite a bit of power, so this back up battery can't last much long. but the point of me using this in the first place is so that if power gets interrupted, i have a back up that can bridge the gap. the outages i get last only a couple of minutes. i just need protection during that random abrupt hit, i don't need protection for hoursthis product has served me well

I bought this for our router and mesh network router in our bedroom. Due to other items in our room like our coffee pot and window AC running at the same time, we can end up tripping the breaker. This causes everything else in the house to loose connection such as our cameras, doorbell cams, fire sticks and even our roombas. So it can be disruptive for awhile waiting for everything to sync back up.Yesterday it tripped and I did not have to worry about it. It instantly kicked in and didn't miss a beat. It was only on a few minutes, but it did the job. I don't know how long it would last if the power did go out but it is nice to know that I will still have internet access for my laptop in a power outage.I did buy a second one for my sons computer. If the power blips or we have even a brown out, his computer goes down where he is unable to turn it back on for a day or so, even with a good surge protector. With this, he should either not even notice the shortage or in case of a total blackout, have enough time to turn it off properly. We shall see when the next outage happens.

I’ve been using this Amazon Basics UPS for about a year now and it’s been great. I haven’t tested the full run time, but for the quick power outages we get at the house (usually 10–15 minutes), it’s held up without any issues. My Synology NAS stays up and running the whole time.It’s compact, doesn’t take up a lot of space, and does exactly what I bought it for. I don’t have it overloaded — just the NAS and some networking gear plugged in — and it handles everything without a hitch.You definitely get what you pay for. It’s not a huge backup system, but for keeping key gear online during short outages, it works perfectly. No complaints.

I needed a small UPS to protect our new WiFi extender. Seems reliable, two USB charging ports, plug it in to use, no setup.

We installed a WiFi network at my place of business and were looking for multiple UPS's for each of our switches and WiFi Access Points. When looking for what device would work best I came across this Amazon Branded piece of equipment. The price was fair and I really like their, "Backed by an AmazonBasics limited 1-year warranty, including the battery; $75,000 connected equipment guarantee" - the last bullet in the description.This warranty is a joke. We had a power surge in our building and most of the UPS's worked as intended, however there was 1 that did not. All the equipment connected to it was fried after the surge and no longer works. Over $900.00 of equipment was destroyed (all of which was ordered from Amazon). I just wanted a credit I could, gift card, something! I had serial numbers and images of the equipment and everything. I immediately contacted customer support and told them that I wanted to submit an issue/claim under the "Backed by an AmazonBasics limited 1-year warranty, including the battery; $75,000 connected equipment guarantee."I had to continue to reach back out to Amazon Customer Support 3+ times, each time they told me someone would follow up with me within the next 3-5 business days on my warranty claim. I spent a total of 4-5 hours (spread out over multiple days) of my time emailing, chatting over the phone, sending pictures, chatting online and still nothing has happened. I have continually been ignored and have been given false promises of, "I will PERSONALLY call you back on (x) date to follow up with you on this issue." Then, after no phone call or follow-up, I would email them back, only to have a different person respond and tell me to call Amazon Customer Support (which means I would start from scratch and have to tell my story all over again and go through the same steps). The continuous false promises and disregard (whether intentional or not) is beyond frustrating - especially when you buy the device because of the warranty that is promised.I am a regular user of Amazon services, but I'm very disappointed with the way this situation was handled and I feel that I have wasted my time and have been ignored multiple times.Not a product I would recommend buying.
