    Worked even when I didn’t notice

    Within a couple weeks of purchasing this backup a major storm knocked out power and the backup kept my workstation pc running plenty Lon enough for me to shut things down safely and power down the computer. I found after the fact that there is a little counter on the front and it had registered a number of instances where the battery kept everything smooth. I feel so much more at ease having my entire work station run through this. I need to figure out / get the auto shutdown features set to catch anything if I am away for a period of time. The specific battery I got isn’t large enough to run the computer and monitor for long but it’s long enough when under load to allow me to safely stop without feeling rushed in any regard. I’m looking into getting more of these for different elements of my home

    This is a great tool especially if you have a standby power source. In the event you have electrical issue, you don't have to miss a beat. I use it for my modem and router. It provides surge protection as well as uninterrupted AC power. The display indicates the status of the device and the amount of time available for powering your devices.

    So far, so good. We'll see how it does after the first storm or power outage (of which this location has plenty). Just trying to protect an ATM that I have on-site. The APC was easy to set up and it is providing me some extra confidence to protect my electronic assets.

    I have multiple 1500 series at work so figured I would try this unit at home . It works perfectly to keep my alarm, WiFi and home automation protected from voltage anomalies and power outages.

    This product is worth the extra money. APC has nailed down how to make a reliable UPS and how to support their customers when there is an issue. I have not had any trouble with my purchase. It was easy to install and just works. I highly recommend this product.

    This was a gift for my husband who works from home. He needed something that would not only protect his computer but also give him enough time to save all his documents. This has done that and more!

    Still working strong several years later. I have bought cheaper models that the battery just dies after a year or so. I would buy again when needed. I have a computer, two monitors and my router attached to it, no issues.

    I bought this for use as part of a home server setup, and it connects over USB, making it really easy to automate graceful shutdowns if my power goes out. Being able to replace the battery is also a big plus!

    I bought what I thought was a larger size and it does fulfill the function of giving me time to work on my computer, wrap things up and shut if down but definitely not working for hours after the power goes out. Nice to have a backup for charging other devices when the power goes out. Note that only 4 outlets are backed-up the other four are just pass through power.

    Haven't had to rely on it, but was easy setup. Purchased because seemed to be a good balance between physical size, cost, and power storage. Have purchased APC products in the past.
