[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the APC Back UPS 900VA/480W for several months now and it’s been incredibly reliable. It provides consistent power backup for my computer and other essential electronics, and I’ve experienced zero issues during short power outages. I love that it has 9 NEMA outlets and a USB Type A port, which makes it easy to charge and protect multiple devices. Setup was straightforward, and it’s compact enough to mount on the wall or keep on the floor without taking up much space. Overall, the durability and performance have exceeded my expectations.

It varies on the amount of power your tower is drawing. The higher the draw the shorter the runtime.
