Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Back-UPS Gaming 1500VA's long battery life, multiple USB ports, and effective surge protection. 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. The price point was also mentioned as a potential drawback by some users.

    These are very nice backup power supplies, they are a pure sine wave even on battery power so they will protect your sensitive equipment. I just them on my computers, and televisions so the power stays even. APC has made a nice unit and I have four of them.

    A good UPS made by APC. Purchased this UPS for the desktop computer. It's a pure sine wave UPC which is recommended for sensitive electronics such as gaming desktops, etc It's a good looking UPS, compared to others and has changeable LED lights to add some extra appeal.

    Complements and protects my gaming setup and other electronic systems. The importance of UPS is crucial, especially if you have costly equipment and in an area where a power outage occurs due to weather factors.

    The RGB is very cool but mainly stays one color doesn’t alternate which is my only downside. I use this on my workstation PC so it’s not just for the gamers would 100% recommend.

    This is a great backup. I am using this with an 850 watt PSU and It works flawlessly. I am also stress-tested my 3090 while in battery and the performance was almost similar to when plugged in
