This as a high quality item, with plenty high quality plugs that hold tight. I use it with its bigger brother, the BE750G, that is really clever. it monitors the computer power line, and when the consumption drops when the computer goes to sleep, it turns off three controlled outlets as well (leaves the others alone). I have external drives, and it works perfectly, and the computer finds the drives without issue when woken up. You can use these 3 controlled outlets for anything that consumes power or makes noise (my drives do both). It and this Es 650VA, the item being reviewed, are the same but for this feature. With a computer with a lot of devices, they make a perfect pair. Great, great ideas, and very well built, and package design is excellent.

Purchased for my Cable connected PC & telephone. Cable tech recommended not connecting cable through it as it brought the connectivity down to almost no signal, and that the cable company's cables were grounded.

I have owned three APC products and this one has the right amount of back-up plugs with plenty of surge protection. Their products take the scare out of surges and Amazon has the best prices! Buy it!

this is the third APC battery backup i have had over the years, i have had two other larger units for my computers, but i have this ES650 unit keeping my two tivo's and my tv safe.
the cable line protectors, and the circuit breaker are a neat feature to have. the rounded corners give it a more modern, updated look.
so far i have not yet needed this unit but that one time when i do, it will be nice to know im protected!
