 No frills, inexpensive solution... February 6, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Basically I just wanted something that would prevent from my desktop computer being shut off by a power surge or power outage in the middle of my using it, and this device serves that purpose perfectly.
I do not leave my computer on 24/7 like some people do, so I didn't bother installing the software included.
Overall I love the good looks, functionality, and very reasonable price...just 20 or 30 bucks more than your average surge protector! I use one for my home theater/stereo equipment as well.
Belkin Battery backup December 5, 2007
Good UPS, but the power switch is a little difficult to deal with. Otherwise would have given 5 stars.
Works with linux just fine with some tweaking November 22, 2007

I am a xubuntu linux user and got this working fine. Do not use the belkin linux drivers or software though, they are worthless. Instead use nut 2.2 or newer (for ubuntu, get it from the hardy release) with the megatec_usb driver. Works great and there is plenty of documentation for it.
Great backup power November 7, 2007

This serves all my PC power needs. It has four battery backup inputs (I use them for the PCU, monitor, satellite modem, and router) It has four more for other office electronics. It works great---no more losing my data when the power goes out. I've paid more for units that perform the same function and was disappointed. I love this unit.
 Smells, hums & warm even when off. Better than no UPS, but not by much. Spend an extra $20/$30. October 16, 2007

A rebate brought this down to about forty dollars for me but still this item disappoints. Used UPSes for over 20 yrs, mostly great ol' APCs that lasted > 10 yrs & were more costly but reliable. But now we want < $100 UPSes:)
Issues w/this POS:
* Smelled especially bad the first 24-48hrs plugged in (charging batt I guess). Afterward just smells bad, but that will probably pass.
* Unit stays warm exp. rear top all the time, even when off.
* Low hum audible in quiet room.
* Must press & hold switch 2 secs for on/off & insists on beeping/self-testing on pwr on.
But it is handling a mid P4, monitor, cable modem & wireless router.
Could put up w/the issues in an office environment, but certainly not in a bedroom. Even the Cyberpower we bought a year ago for maybe forty dollars more is miles better than this unit (has none of the aforementioned issues).
Do yourself a favor & spend $20-$40 on a different brand (esp. if for home).
