        Out of order after 10 months

        Often random operation: switching on with a period of several seconds in inverter operation that does not support a normal load, switching on followed by a complete shutdown of a few seconds, finally neither switching on nor off but direct output under voltage.

        Very good!

        It's perfect for a small home automation server that runs 24/24 + an internet box...
        I haven't yet looked at whether I can disable the beep during blackouts... at worst, you cut a wire :)

        Satisfied!

        satisfied overall.
        So far, the inverter works well.
        I would have preferred not to have a beep when the mains are switched off, but anyway,

        Basic features at a good price

        I use this model to backup a home NAS PC, internet box + ONT and switch. No communication functions (no USB port or network), which is normal for the price, so no controlled shutdown possible and will only cover relatively short outages depending on the load.
        It is therefore to be recommended for basic residential use of this type (network equipment), but not PC and/or professional use.
        The replacement battery is easily found in the trade, either APC or compatible, to change it in ~5 years. In my experience, with such a model, unless there is an unlikely electronic failure, you are in for 10 or 15 years.
        Beware, a modern gaming PC cannot be backed up by a 400VA, far from it!

        as described

        I couldn't really test it because I didn't have a power cut, but it's practical and largely sufficient for office use

        compliant product.

        In a mountainous area, frequent EDF cuts, waiting for future storms...inverter more sophisticated than my old APC, whose M/A switch had "screwed up

        LDLC at the top

        Hello ,
        I recommend this small investment to anyone who wants to protect their computer equipment or other.
        Prevent and not cure, you will not regret it? ??????????
        Lightning arrester, protection against overvoltage and 10 minutes of battery in case of power failure to finish your work on computer for example.
        Don't hesitate, you won't regret it?

        Not yet tested

        So here's a special comment,
        It's hard to tell if a product is useful if you can't test it!
        No blackouts or anything, nor storms, so good...
        Which explains the 4 stars
        I will put a valid test the day it arrives!

        It's a very good power strip despite the excessive weight, due to the internal battery!

        perfect

        I had burned my power supply twice because of my meter that frequently jumps, but since I took this inverter, it has saved my pc several times ^^ I recommend it! it is a necessary investment if you value your equipment.

        Does the job

        I guess you could say that this device does its job. It has saved my ass several times during power outages while I was playing or working. I have had it for several years and I have no complaints. Good product.

        Smooth running

        I'm using it to protect my computer (tower+screen) it lasts 20min in case of a power cut, count 15 min if it protects the box at the same time. The beep beep is quite loud, you can't miss it, and I haven't experienced a power cut at night yet.... it'll be fun at 2am :)

        Great!

        This inverter is perfect! No more overvoltage problems, and the equipment is (also) protected from lightning. The battery seems to me to be perfectly fine, and the use of the product is very basic.

        Worth buying if you're building a big setup.

        Super happy

        Since the acquisition of the APC UPS, I no longer have computer crashes due to the stupid voltages of my electricity distribution network. I have to thank my computer technician who advised me this product which gives me complete satisfaction

        Nickel

        Buy for our small association because there are regular power cuts and it works perfectly!
        Even if there is a power cut we can continue to work!

        I highly recommend this product!

        well but....

        I have to say that I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the quality of the service. It would have been nice to put it in a neutral closed box to avoid bad surprises. Fortunately nothing was missing. The product works very well.
