Customer Ratings & Reviews

After comparing all of the options in the Best Buy lineup, these offered the best value. Great protection, options, and affordability. Its really a steal for everything that's offered. It's a no brainer for anyone who values their investments in their computers and can't afford downtime.

Having used multiple UPS units over the years, I found this one to be the best so far. APC understands the need of the home office user. I especially like the Master power off feature. You can plug your PC into the master outlet and when it goes to sleep there are two other outlets that will turn off a few seconds later. Great for energy savings. I plugged my two monitors and external ESATA Hard Drive into the other two outlets so, my whole system shuts down to save energy. You can easily enable or disable this feature and set the power threshold for the master outlet to match your unit. When the PC comes out of sleep mode, everything else turns on again automatically. Instant switching from AC to battery during a power outage too; my system never sees the change. I'm very pleased with the number of battery and surge protection outlets, a good choice for anyone in my opinion.

This was easy to set up and has kept my pc and peripherals going thru some very scary thunderstorms, protecting them from surges and allowing me time to shut down everything without losing data. It's footprint on my desktop is negligible and I like the little display that shows me the status when power 'events' are occurring.

I bought this APC to replace another brand that didn't work. APC works as intended and has a nice display showing the current power draw so you know when its overloaded. I feel very confident my computer equipment will stay running during a power outage and will also be protected from surges.

Purchased this unit to replace my old XS 1000, which has provided many years of reliable protection. The new BN1080G has provided excellent protection so far, and is easy to install, and use. The APC- Powerchute software is also very helpful, in monitoring the system.

Does what I need it to - is a power surge and backup should the power fail. Just remember to plug whatever device you're wanting backed up on the correct side - it will be labeled on the outlets. One side of the outlets is for surge protection only, the other side is for surge and backup. That side is the outlets that backup power.

I'm using this APC BN1080G UPS to protect and back up my office CPU, monitor, and external hard drive. I've always protected my equipment with APC products because they are well made, and I'm confident they will prevent surge and power outage protection. This was easy to install and set up. The instructions are easy to follow.

4-15-2017 ~ I am rating the APC BN1080VA – 650 Watts High. It provides temporary battery power when my Colorado EXCEL utility power is out. Also, it provides protection on my connected equipment, hardware and data during power outages, surges and spikes. The large display gives me the UPS status at a glance with multiple status indicators with load and battery bar graphs. I had replaced a six year old APC750VA – 450 Watts only two weeks prior to an evening of multiple power failures from our Colorado EXCEL power utility (4-11-2017, a car destroyed a power pole and transformer). The new APC BN1080VA held up to the up and down again power bumps and ensuing power outages. My load was 2 - Dell laptops, 1 – HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 printer, 1 – WD external hard drive, 1 – WD My Cloud hard drive, 1 – Xfinity (Comcast) main cable modem, 1 – Xfinity DVR/TV modem, 1 – Insignia 20” TV/Monitor, all on the Master outlets. The UPS handled the surges and allowed me to safely save and power down the PCs, hard drives and TV. The last power outage lasted from 6:30 pm until 2 am. I had muted the alarm beeper which seemed to go off every 30 seconds after realizing this was going to be a long night. The battery lasted 4 hours and 35 minutes with just the Xfinity (Comcast) main cable modem left on the UPS for telephone service. All my equipment was ready and functional the following morning, the APC BN1080VA UPS was fully charged at 100% and registered the "event".

I needed a easy to use battery backup system for my computer and modem to prevent "crashes" following power outages...and I now have surge protection as well!

easy to set up. gives us peace of mind that our equipment is protected and will sustain operation through a power bump

After purchasing a new 27” iMac I wanted to make sure that my investment was protected. Let me tell you that this back up battery has worked like a charm! Iv had several power outages while on my computer and my computer has never flinched because of it!

Very reliable UPS in the market. It has a surge protection in all outlets.

This UPS works great for the several electronic pieces of equipment I have plugged into it. It protects them from experiencing the occasional power bumps and gives you time to shut things down gracefully if the outage is an extended one.

This is a great surge protector and battery back up

Very good product surgprotector good backup best in protraction

I've had this product installed for over a month and it has saved my system at least 4 times and the only way I knew it was thru its' program. The monitoring feature keeps track of what is happening and lets me see it when I want to. It is supporting 2 computers plus other equipment.

I work on the road, often in conditions where electricity has been damaged. In one month, the backup system reported over 100 events, either no power or low power. I was protected from over 100 chances to damage my system. I'm purchasing another.

after doing some research online I chose this ups because it gave me the ability to protect several devices without overloading the ups. It also comes with software to safely power down computers and servers , a perfect fit for home or small business . In addition u can plug a light to the unit in the event of a power outage

We use APC on all of our cash registers and are great for protecting us during a short power outage and also protects our equipment from a power spike due to lighting.

I got this APC BN1080G UPS as a filter/back-up for my DTV receiver, Sony flat screen and DVD player to filter/back-up intermittent power fluctuations. It handles those components easily and I'm happy with the purchase.
