More than paid for itself. Highly recommended!

I purchased two of these about a year ago. About a year ago we had several bad storms here in Kansas that took out two of my computers and several peripherals. I replaced them; then about a month later it happened again! (Yes, some of us are stubborn, and need to see it happen more than once!). So, I then figured that buying two of these would actually save me money. And, after replacing the computers, etc. AGAIN, I hooked them up to these UPS's. And, wouldn't you figure, after I did that, we had no more problems. That is until recently! We recently had some more typical Kansas springtime storms, and, even though the power did not go out, these also protect from line surges, etc., and this is what they did--they saved my stuff this time! Yea! Lightning spiked the power and these protected my equipment. The included software shows me that I had a high-power surge that lasted for about 1 second. Great item!!
