    Great product. Had my first power outage with this (literally power still down), it's been down for 6 hours now with no estimated time to come up and this kept all my gaming consoles, and tv safe until I turned them off. You can also change the colors on it, which is neat.

    Bought a few of these at Black Friday. Reasonably priced on sale and always wanted to test out having backup power on our two main computers as well as network hardware so power loss to home would give us some time to complete work in process and not lose work. We will see how this goes but we are ready.

    The product is significantly larger than expected and extremely heavy. No instructions as to how to set it up. The plugs in the back are quite close so if planning to use it with adopters, some of the other plugs might be covered.

    Great backup power for gaming setups

    The APC Back-UPS Pro Gaming 1500VA is an awesome addition to any gaming or high-performance PC setup. The pure sinewave output keeps my system stable during brownouts and power flickers, and the 1500VA capacity gives plenty of runtime to safely shut everything down. The RGB reactor circle is a fun touch that actually provides useful at-a-glance status info. I really like the 10 outlets (4 surge-only, 6 battery backup) and the 3 USB ports for keeping accessories powered. It runs quietly, feels well-built, and gives great peace of mind. If you have a gaming PC, consoles, or a home media setup you want to protect, this is absolutely worth it. Created by AI. Haven’t used the product yet. Just wanted the $5 review credit.

    Premium quality UPS with a pure sinewave. I have 3 of these and use them for all my electronic equipment including desktop computer, Router/modem, laptops, printers, weather station, etc. It provides protection from surge and power outages.

    Got this to regulate power supply going to my pc as I was getting interference to microphone set up. It cleared that problem and has around 30 min back up to be able to finish what I'm doing and shut everything down safely.

    APC is a reputable UPS brand and this has a lot of great features behind it. It is also slightly nicer looking than the average UPS device if that matters to you.

    Supports my 5090 rig even at high % usage. All of the previous UPS would alert a fault upon game launch. This holds even when moving other peripherals to battery vs on surge only. Worth the investment on any gaming PC.

    After putting together a rather expensive PC build, I wanted to make sure to protect my investment. This UPS fits the bill with plenty of surge and battery plugs. I can customize the display to show what information I want along with RGB displays if you desire. I have not used the software that can shut down your PC for you since I only have my PC on when I am present.

    This thing is an absolute beast. I have my entire entertainment setup using this and I have zero complaints. It’s fairly easy to set up and everything is labeled properly for users to know what plugs receive battery backup + surge protection vs only surge protection. I love the lighting in the rear to assist in viewing plugs and ports. It’s great!
