Customer Ratings & Reviews

Backup power is a must and this does the job so well it’s the second one I’ve bought. It’s powerful, compact and easy to access from front panel including SILENT MODE. Smart people wrote great techie reviews and they were on the money.

As someone who works with large amounts of data, having a reliable backup solution is non-negotiable. The APC Backup Machine is a solid choice for anyone looking for an efficient, user-friendly, and durable device to keep their data safe. Here’s my breakdown:

APC proven reliability, LCD screen to monitor functions, and ability to replace battery

I live in area where we have a lot of surges. One of my computers' motherboard was destroyed by multiple surges, so I was led to purchase this back-up battery and surge protector. I haven't had any problems and we have had power shortages twice since I purchased this item. It's definitely better to have something like this instead of replacing a motherboard or even a desktop.

First product did not startup, but Best Buy replaced it the same day i brought the product back with a same product. The staff was very helpful..

Recently had a power surge during storms. These devices saved my equipment from being destroyed. Spoke with customer service at apc to troubleshoot. While they have a 3 year warranty, Mine was out of warranty. So I had to replace one that sacrificed itself for my computer and routers. Fair price to pay vers loosing all the electronics. Best Buy had on shelf and got network back up in less then hour.

Reliable and easy to setup. Moved to APC after multiple cyberoower failures.

This is just what I need when the power goes out and I'm working from home. Very easy to set up and has enough power connections on the rear of the unit.

Great quality UPS and easy install and setup, recommend highly

I may have received a defective one. Many error codes, it would chirp loudly every time I ran the microwave, it is uncomfortablely heavy, the screen went black on day 10 and only acted as a passthrough. Returned it for a refund.

Spending the extra money on a battery backup is always worth it in the end. Within days, I had a lightning storm that took out my power, and the APC quickly jump into action when the power went out. I like that the higher-end APCs have PowerChute to shut down my machine after a set amount of minutes on battery power. Great purchase overall!

Strong unit with an easily readable front panel. Front USB port is a nice tough.

My previous APC UPS stopped working after nearly 10 years. So, I purchased this one. I went to BestBuy, found it and bought it, and went home to move all my plugs from the old UPS to this one. 1/2 hour after I realized the old one stopped working, I had the new one up and running and it has not failed me since.

I've had older models of this 1500VA Back-UPS Pro, but we needed another. This one has a few nice touches that the older ones lacked, including the USB charging ports on the front panel. I've been a customer of APC for 20 years, and I've never been disappointed in their products.

I have my television, my cox DVR and my VCR plugged in to this device and I have noticed it protecting my devices on several occasions. All of my devices continued to working after the power glitch or brown outs.

I have purchased a number of APC battery backups from Best Buy. The brand is a good one that performs well (I have three in use now) and Best Buy is a convenient source when the need arises. This purchase was made even more convenient when I bought the unit on-line and was able to pick up and check out immediately as it was waiting on me when I got there.

I bought two of these units for myself in the bedroom (now my pandemic office) and for my wife who works in the living room where her pandemic office is. As winter came we plugged in an electric space heater and tripped the breaker when we turned on the microwave in the kitchen... I'm a teacher, she's an administrator so we're both in very important meetings and can't afford to go down. This has saved us from ourselves (microwave) and the weather as the power has gone out in our neighborhood a couple times. I recommend the 1500 because after everything is plugged in it says there is only about 26 minutes of supplied power. That was long enough for me to maintain my Zoom connection with my students when the power went out the other day. My wife has the other 1500 model which is a little less expensive and we don't notice any difference. This one just looks a little cooler to me. Vanity - yeah - perhaps :) I was concerned about having enough power plugs on the back but realized later that a lot of the plugs were already connected to a surge protector - so, being in a hurry - I just took the 6 low voltage devices on the surge protector and quickly connected it to one of the battery-backed plugs. Done.

Awesome ups until the batteries age out. Replacement batteries are not a good value when compared to the sale price of a new unit.

great UPS was on Cyber Monday Sale so the price was good also. it's narrow makes it easy to place next to the PC on floor and does not take up much room. has a nice display with Battery Run times.

UPS works fine and is able to handle the load I tested to see what happens if power goes out and you get about 5 minutes of time on just the battery load so it gives time for you to shut down computer but only if you are home in case of power outage
