never worry about crashing from a power loss again, easy setup and runs a pc for up to 5 hours if needed already had a power outage and never noticed it with my apc 1500 everything stayed on including pc, printer, monitor and all accessories i had attached to it, gave me plenty of run time to finish my work and shut down with confidence while saving everything i was working on.

I bought the APC - Smart-UPS 1440VA Battery Back-Up System as an upgrade to my APC Back-UPS XS 1500. I recently upgraded to a LG 65" OLED TV and the Denon AVR-X4300H A/V receiver, so I wanted to ensure I had the best backup protection to protect my investment, and I'm certain the 1400VA fits the bill. While the XS 1500 was a great product and had 865W of battery backup, the battery was only for three minutes duration during an outage, while the 1400VA provides three hours of battery life. I also like the one-minute shutoff display option; sometimes I forget to turn off A/V equipment before turning off the UPS and the delay gives me a chance to recover from that. The 1440 VA display is a little on the smaller side, but the icon indicators are still intuitive. Although not a problem for me, it weighs about 53 lbs., so it might be a chore to lift and move around for others. It's also a little pricey, but for the peace of mind of quality protection for your audio/video gear (up to $150,000 equipment protection policy), it's priceless.

The run time and quality are excellent! I only trust APC for my battery back up needs! Other brands just don't compare.

Battery back up lasts longer than expected. easy to setup. would buy again

I purchased this as a backup in 2014 for a high end video editing and gaming PC. It has been running flawlessly since then with the original battery too. After 6 years the battery is at 81%.
