APC - Br1500G Power Saving Back UPS Rs 1500 - Black

Have been running my new beast machine off the UPS for a few weeks, smooth as silk. The Beast is a ASUS ROG Maximus IX Code motherboard, i7 7700K, EVGA GTX 1060, .M2 Samsung 960 Pro SSD, and two 1TB HDD's running Raid1 for quick backups off the SSD, EVGA 850 G2 PS, 5 140mm Fans and Liquid Cooling system. And some other stuff, all pulling quite a load on the juice. Have not had any power outages as of yet, but have tested w by unplugging the power from the UPS. Alarm beeping, the beast and monitor never skipped a beat. Have been using APC UPS's at home and in large server rooms for decades....still using them.

I have had a lot of family members who use UPSs from APC and have had good customer support when needed. APC makes a very good product and it is very easy to setup. The only down fall to it, is that I have two computers powered off of it and only one can be shut down if the power goes out. It would be nice if they shipped it with a small onboard webserver like printers do and allow you to have a piece of software that monitors it. Otherwise it is a great product.

I bought this UPS to protect my home PC and server as well as some home networking equipment. The unit itself is nice looking and doesn't take up much space. The display on the front is useful and with the equipment plugged in, the load is less than 40%. The only downside is the Windows software is terrible and doesn't seem to install properly on my Windows 7 Ultimate PC. I don't think it's a big deal to not use the software so not a big deal. The other downside is the cost. I know this isn't a Best Buy issue but it's a tough pill to swallow none the less.

Bought this ups to replace one that was too small and failing. The apc1500 exceeds my systems demands for power and works very reliably when the power goes out it safely and reliably saves my work and shuts my systems down.

I live in the Tampa Bay area. Tampa Bay is the lightning capital of the United States. In fact, that’s the reason that our hockey team is called the Tampa Bay Lightning. That being said, we experience lots of power outages. During the rainy season (summer) this can happen on a daily basis. Most of the outages only last for a few seconds to a few minutes. Even a very short outage creates problems for me because of my entertainment and communication setup. I don’t have traditional cable television or traditional phone service. I only have Internet service from the cable company. My setup is as follows: I have a cable modem/router, Ooma Telo system, cordless telephone base station, and cell phone booster. When we have a short power outage all of my systems go down and it takes about 15 minutes for everything to get back up and running. Now I have all of these items plugged into this new APC - Br1500G Power Saving Back UPS Rs 1500 that I purchased from Best Buy. Since I’ve started using this beauty I don’t have the problem anymore. It’s great and I wished I would have thought of doing this sooner. I am totally satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone.
