About Amazon Basics Standby UPS 600VA 360W Surge Protector Battery Power Backup
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
77% liked the compatibility with multiple devices, but 23% had issues
During outages, my devices are flawlessly handled by the 400VA capacity of the UPS, which also provides surge protection.
This type of UPS is not compatible with Energy Star rated Active PFC type of computer power supplies like found in many or most modern computers, which can crash instead of continuing operation on this type Simulated Sine Wave UPS.
During thunderstorms, the relays clicked without a noticeable flicker of the main house lights, indicating that the UPS is sensitive to even mild voltage fluctuations and drop-outs.
74% praised the high power capacity, while 26% found it insufficient
I tested the UPS again and got just shy of 60 minutes backup power. My cable modem uses anywhere from 6 to 11 watts of power and the router uses 20 watts at most.
The power capacity of our UPS is limited and may not be sufficient for high-power devices or larger configurations. It is suitable for basic setups.
78% appreciated the response time, while 22% experienced a delay
When power interruptions flicker lights and reset TVs, the unit turns on, preventing a long router reboot.
The UPS stopped working before I could give the shutdown command, probably in less than ten seconds.
75% found it whisper-quiet, while 25% thought it was loud
During two brief outages, the UPS did what it was supposed to do.
I tried muffling the sound but it did not work and the beeping was audible from several rooms over.
The UPS is functional but extremely loud.
