My BX750MI-GR has saved my precious data on two occasions. Earlier this year, my seven year old, well used waffle iron shorted, popping loudly and sparking quite brightly in the process, probably because of all the gunk that had accumulated inside its less cleanable interior over the years. That not only made my breaker trip, but also blew the 16 amp main fuse. The UPS kicked in immediately, making a klick and a beep, which felt amazing. That was my first time ever.

As for the second time, see this post.

    Yeah I have 3, 2 at my desk for my switch and computer, and then one across the room with my router and home server.

    So far they haven’t really saved anything but I invested in them after a power outage killed my whole PC.

      RIP your old PC. 🙏

      How awesome that you care for you networking equipment too!!!

      And just to clarify: by switch you mean network switch, right? Not a Nintendo Switch? 🤣
