It will back up a mid tower desk top, large LED monitor, telephone system, and charger for more than 20 minutes. At 20 I chickened out.

I bought the APC Back-UPS BN450M because it was compact and sine wave according to B&H’s description. To write this review I looked at APC’s website to be sure. APC’s website says it is square wave. I do not know who is correct at time of writing. If it is square wave I cannot use it.

Pretty Impressed so far, pleasantly surprised by the compact size and 4x battery backed outlets. No power outages yet, but I’ve always been very confident in APC products.

This is a very reliable piece of equipment. It will keep your router running in case of an outage.

There’s not a lot to say about these UPS systems: they come with a battery, you plug them in, and they just kind of work. If they don’t, you return them. Anyway: the plug spacing is good, and it works.

The APC Back-UPS BN450M does not have capability to shut down my computer in case of a power outage. This obviously is a design feature. Since shut down capability has been a feature of a UPS, I am disappointed by the lack thereof. My bad for not reading all the specks, but still disappointing.

Bought one for desktop computer and one for my DirecTV box. Compact size with adequate power to do what I needed.

Id like to see a screen and usb ports for a 5 star review. I use this for on set location power supply. It helps keep the hard drives powered if someone unplugs my DIT station and I am ingesting a card or media. I just wish it had spots for the producers on set to plug their phones and act also as a charging station.

Good deal ships fast , keeps my modem and Wi-Fi up during power outages about two hours

I just received the unit yesterday and have it plugged in charging before I hook it up to any equipment. I will not be using it in my computer as I have a much better unit hooled up there BX1500G.I do have a a big issue with the unit so far. I would like to see a charging status bar (leds) with at least 5 bars to indicate charging status. Your system of having the power button flash different patterns to indicate status would reqiure going to the manual and looking up what certain flashings mean.. If iwas looking to purchase such an item ; I would pay more just for that feature alone. I would like to be able to look down at the unit and know how much charge is left (when power is off) and while it is charging: without going to a manul to decode it. will provide more feedback after I hook it up

Unboxing is simple, no angry tearing – just pull and slip. The battery connection method is much improved over older models but pay attention to the black arrow as you pull out the plug or you could bend the prongs. Orientation of the outlets invites you to use the screw slots on the back to mount it on the wall. I will use it for my TV and associated equipment, mounted on the wall as I already have a black wall for the TV. There are enough plugs for TV, disc player, air antenna amp. My internet modem is in another location on an older APC. It is nice to have the TV through a storm with a short power outage. Rating is for 2.3 hours – I’ll test it after it has charged. I tested having the TV on after unplugging the unit from the wall – lasted just over an hour then out. Is enough for watching through storms. Anything longer and a generator is called for. I would like to see is a wireless monitoring option but understand that the interface would increase the price. Overall, I have always trusted APC products and this one didn’t change that perception. The size is tailored for average home entertainment and the wall mounting adds a nice option.

I have purchased more than four of these units, all of them are in service and none have failed. (I am using them with loads 100 watts) Many of these small UPS units have abysmal on battery efficiency. (Less than 30%) This unit is significantly better than any other I have run the comparison of battery Minute/Watts to delivered Minute/Watts I LOVE that the beeper defaults to OFF. I dislike that there is a hard coded timer that will shut down the UPS regardless of battery at about 2.5 Hours. I ended up buying two of them thinking the first one was defective. I was shocked when they both shut down at exactly the same time with different loads.

So far havent had to use the battery backup but thats good its own way. The unit is compact. The outlets are well spaced out. I purchased this to have my internet and WiFi connections up in case of blackout and with the wattage I expect it to last a decent amount of time with a Fiber ONT and router hooked up to it. So far so good.

Really like the size & orientation of this unit. Just received it so can’t say long term how it works, but is doing all that is expected & was easy to set up.
Osbaldo Lehner (verified owner) –
Apart from being two outlets short of our last backup brick this brick is silently protecting one of our computer and hard drives. The price as part of the daily deal was appreciated. Recommended.

I purchased one unit and it went bad within one month of having it. I figured I just had bad luck so I purchased another one and it also went bad. Terrible product. DO NOT BUY.

Just works, and that’s how it should be. Thank you

Prompt shipment as always, the pros are it is easy to sit on a desk, or under a desk or mount on the wall. My use is for my laptop and/or my IPads. I can easily take it from office 1 to office 2 to living room, etc. this is a great purchase, I have used APC products since the first day they have been on the market, I can call when I need a battery and most of the time I upgrade, I have NEVER had a bad experience with APC products. The Con on this unit is when you plug in the battery terminals and you sit the unit on a flat surface the yellow terminal sticks out and it wobbles. Since I will move this from one location to the other I will not be mounting it on the wall. It will be sitting on or under a small computer desk or sitting next to where I have my IPads. This is the ONLY problem I am having, I do not like the wobble. It appears that it is either not going into the plug completely or the yellow plus is not flat enough. Other than that it is an A-1 product as always.

Ordered this one as a backup for my recently bought 3D printer . From B&H of course. Has a test light for electrical issues with the house electrical system. All good on mine.
