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.

    I've had this for a couple months now and thus far it's working great. I've had a few outages so far and have been able to work right through them. The cable internet even remains working since I have the router plugged in as well. I'm only running at about 30% load, so I can't say how well reliable it is under full load. I should have bought this sooner.

    This was easy to setup. I bought this model because of one, it's battery capacity, and two, it's filter ability to provide clean electric to my comuter. We have been getting short power outages laterly and they woiuld shut down the computer and there is always a risk of corrupted files, but since I've installed the APC Back-UPS Gaming 1500VA, the computer has been protected.

    The power fluctuations at my house have causef my PS4 to fail multiple times, ultimately needing to be reinitialized. This UPS is already doing its job. The day after I installed it there was a power fluctuation, resetting all my appliances. Fortunately the UPs prevented it from affecting my Playstation at all. It also looks pretty awesome.

    So far so go. When I first started using it, it had that smell some reviewers talked about. My only guess is the internal parts heating up. It’s more of a burning electrical smell. No different if you go into some server rooms. The smell has went away. I tested it by turning off the breaker to that outlet. Power continued and it was like nothing happened.

    Matches my NZXT h710i case perfectly. One thing that I hate is that the information display doesn’t stay on. I like when I can see the watt load all the time. My other APC allows me to have the display sleep or stay awake. The RGB is nice. The included manual is a joke. Doesn’t come with the powerchute software you have to go download it and they of course want to upgrade you from the free version constantly.
