    It does the job. That’s about it. The display went out about 1 yr in. It’s almost impossible to see with light on in the room. I have it connected to my NAS which thankfully acts as an interface. I won’t buy APC next time.

      Thank you for your inquiry. I am sorry to hear about the screen not working correctly. I would try disconnecting the equipment, removing the internal battery, disconnect the input power then hold the power button for around 10 seconds. If this doesn't clear up the issue please reach out to an APCbySchneider support team. The unit would come with a 3 year manufacture warranty.

    I purchased this about a year and two months ago. I barely used it and it’s no longer working. I get a F04 error on it and it just shuts off. I went back to Best Buy to see if there was anything that could be done, and I was told that there wasn’t unless I had bought the extended warranty on the product. I do not recommend this product. I am going to try to reach out to the manufacturer and see what can be done. I’ll update my review depending on this process.

      Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. I am sorry to hear about the issues you faced with our unit. Usually the UPS shouldn't make a noise that you can hear in an office environment. It sounds like the unit itself may have been faulty. If you purchase another one of our units and run into this type of issue please do not hesitate to reach to an APCbySchneider support team. We offer email and chat services through our support site and you may also contact us directly at 800-800-4272 option 4. APC

    Great for home office

    I bought this item to replace the 1300va model, which was too loud for my needs. This one is not only silent under all loads, but also features front usb and usb c ports for phone charging (all on battery), which is a great feature. I am able to run my gaming pc, and 2 lcd monitors on this easily without overloading. It works seamlessly with APC's powerchute program (needs updating), and is a relatively small form factor, compared to a lot of other comparable ups models.

    Great product

    I decided to upgrade my older unit instead of getting a new battery and really like this one a lot. Much quieter and better ease of use. I notice a massive increase in longevity with all my equipment when using a Battery backup in my apartment complex. This one is noticeably better quality then similar class 5 years ago. The company has been making great advancements in design.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about our UPSs. I am sorry to hear that the unit failed shortly after you installed. I would try removing the equipment from the unit, disconnect power cord, and internal battery. While they are disconnected try holding the power button for around 10 seconds. If this doesn't clear up the issue please reach out to an APCbySchneiderElectric support team at your earliest convenience. We offer email and chat services through our support site.

    As others motioned on the bigger UPS 1500 unit, the darn thing makes a regular beep/whistle noise that whimpers every 5 seconds. Its low db, but its annoying. hopeing to get a replacement which doesn't do this.

    didn't work with my pc

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I work from a home office and bought this solely to protect my pc during outages, especially since we had a couple recent incidences of the power flickering off and on. Had the power go out this morning and this didn't work with my pc. It looked good for a few seconds, then the pc went dark. After some mouse jiggling and key tapping it came back asking if I wanted to resume Windows (which is not a natural sleep mode). After it finished restarting it went back down a couple of seconds later and wouldn't come back. On the display the battery showed fully charged (has been plugged in for several days) and load only one bar. Will be returning to try something else.

      Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. I am sorry to hear about the issues you are facing with the unit. I would double check in the Power Saver options to make sure you have it set to go to sleep during a power outage instead of hibernating which sounds like what it went into too. If you need assistance in finding this option please do not hesitate to reach out to an APCbySchneider support team. We offer email and chat services through our support site. APC
