Customer Ratings & Reviews

I know this will come in handy if we have our normal ice storms this winter...

The APC-Back-UPS Pro 1050 is a good value. It does exactly what is expected and does so reliably.

Easy to use LCD screen and directions. Feel good about power supply security

Works great....is exactly what we expected it to be. APC is a fantastic brand and we won't use any other.

Solid option for temporarily keeping a PC rig running and minimize issues from Brown outs.

Very pleased with the APC - Back-up. Our old one failed and this was a good replacement.

it works fine and protects my computer from power outages

Works as advertised quiet helpful and protects all of my computers in my office

So needed for everyone!! Worth every penny!! Should be a staple in everyones house

I needed a battery backup for tools in my woodshop. This worked well. Remember these are not a true UPS. Those would run off the device all the time, these kick in where the power fails.

It is just what I needed to have at work. it works great!

We have been using it before and ordered some more for new employees.

We use this on our continuous hot water heater. It's great!

Works as advertised for the first month. Had a cyberpower before this and it had a lot of problems.

Good Battery Back-up! It's great for a Small Business.

5 stars! Great purchase, perfect for hurricane season

Helpful staff and knowledgeable and prompt not pushy

Seems to be fine so far. No issues or anything but I have not lpst power yet to know how it will fair when its truly being used.

I purchased two of these guys, one of them works/worked great. The other must've been repackaged by the next world-class resealer because it was a complete dud. Feel free to pick one up if you're feeling lucky.

This APC is for mid to small computers or other IT devices. It has the standard APC LCD screen and three buttons to control the functions and display of the device. It's not to large or heavy. It has 8 plugs total, 4 connected to the battery backup and 4 that are just surge protectors. There is also a data port on the back for connecting the UPS to your computer/NAS/Router etc. A wiring fault indicator light and circuit break reset round out the functions on the back of the unit. To have battery work, you turn over the unit, slide the battery cover door off and connect the positive wire, red, to the positive plug on the battery. A battery usually lasts 3-5 years in the ones I have owned. Then you can decide if it's worth buying another battery or a whole new unit depending on price. With the battery connected and then the unit plugged into a wall socket your UPS is ready to work. The screen will allow you to cycle through input voltage, load, time remaining, etc. Connecting the UPS to a computer gives you full control over the device. Load the APC power chute software on a PC, power it from the battery side of the UPS and you have all the information on you screen. You can see voltage, loads, time remaining etc. You can easily set when the UPS should shutdown, time remaining or time from loss of power. It will monitor when power outages occur, under/over voltage, and electrical noise. If you put in your power cost, it will estimate the cost of running the devices it backs up. Time remaining on the UPS and watts used per day are also shown. The UPS condition, and self-testing are all easily done from the software. You can set the alarm, voltage parameters, and notifications. Powerchute works well to setup and monitor the UPS. You don't have to use the front of the device at all. You can access the most of the functions through the buttons on the device. You can put it in any location and still monitor what it's doing through the serial to USB cable. I used this UPS to backup my ONT, modem, and few other devices I'd want to keep going for a bit if the power goes out. For a small load I have over an hour of run time. UPS's aren't just for a computers. My IO Safe/Synology NAS also saw the UPS with no issues. APC has built another solid UPS, easy to setup and protect your gear until a power shutdown, or keep your gear going for a bit longer. For short power outages, you'll never realize one hit for the devices connected to it.
