Many appreciate its ease of use, clear display, and solid performance, noting the positive design and pure sine wave output. However, some find the unit heavy and large, and a few customers have expressed concerns about the brightness of the logo and the lack of control over the lighting.

    Are you looking to have peace of mind with your expensive electronics? The APC - Back-UPS Gaming 1500VA - 10 Outlet/3-USB Battery Back-up and Surge Protector packs the juice to give you peace of mind. I tested the unit on my gaming pc and was able to safely shut it down with no impact. I was able to run the PC that ran dual 2080 TI GPU’s for 21 minutes till battery depleted. The product works as advertised. You want the best this is it!

    I have at least 1 power outage a month where I live. I recently started using battery backups, but I never had one like this battery back up. It is very nice, heavy, and has easy menu options. I decided to use it for my router, desktop computer, television, bose speakers, Xbox Series X, and Switch. I have no problem (at the moment). I wanted to use it with my printer but it gives me an error message about using too much voltage to handle and it suddenly turned off. I haven't officially tested it as I haven't had a power outage yet, so the true test is yet to be determined. One thing I dislike is the lighting of the battery back up. It really lights up my room which makes it hard for my sleep with so much light. I decided to put it behind furniture to reduce the lighting. It is a great battery backup for any gamer. It has plenty of outlets in the back and it feels very sturdy. I know this will last a long time. I plan to use it for a long time as well. I highly recommend it.

    I initially was going to do a "synthetic" test of this by simply unplugging the power, but a storm rolled through and did the test for me! Power went out, and my system stayed up and running. It was only out for a few minutes, but that's extremely common around here in Florida, plus all the random power drops for no explainable reason. My system is fairly substancial . Everything it plugged into power strips then into the UPS. i7-9700k 32GB of RAM 1000 Watt power supply 2 NVMe SSDs Geforce RTX 2070 Super 3 spinning HDDs 2x 27" monitors 1x 34" ultrawide curved monitor My cable-company provided modem and My linksys router. I use my rig for work and play - the UPS did it's job , kept the system up for me to save the work I was doing and do a proper shut-down - you can't ask for more!

    I live in Florida where my power browns/ blacks out a lot! This has been a lifesaver for me to keep my internet up and running during quick outages. I also stream so this has been an awesome option for me to at least be able to gracefully end a stream during a power outage. This unit has PLENTY of juice. It can keep my PC, modem, wifi router, and 3 monitors up and running for 20+ minutes. Obviously if you reduce the load you could get much more time as well. Overall this is a great product and I highly reccomend it!
