Customer Ratings & Reviews

Protects our internet, printer and has been perfect through 2 power outages.

When this came, the box was completely wrecked. It’s pure luck that the manual and accessories didn’t fall out. Other than that, the back up seems to work great. Easy to set up, great features.

No problems with this product. Gives me peace of mind!

It bricked itself after a week of use. It would not turn off. I unplugged and plugged back in the internal battery and it has neen working fine for a week. I'll see how it goes.

Great, efficient well priced, its solid to so it doesn’t feel like it might malfunction or break, which I like.

Learned right away it does the job. I have sound issues so I noticed it makes a high frequency noise when active, gives a bit of a headache. Battery life has me a little concerned but I still need to read the manual, cause the thing kept going grom 4hrs to 30min.

It’s good. There are two batteries on the inside of this unit. You will need to connect the red wire to the batterie before you start. This part was a little uneasy as I felt like I was going to shock the heck out of myself. But I went ahead and connected the wire and put the side panel back on. I tuned it on and it acted like it was goin blow for a sec. It started going thru channels. The sound was unpleasant. After that everything was right as rain. Seem to work just fine. It appears that only some sockets are protected while the others are normal ones. It outlines this for you so you know. My computer is not here yet. So I’m keeping it in the box till I get that. I’ll post some pictures of it off.

Works well, but all the outlets are right next to each other, and most of my electronics use a converter. Would nice to be able to rotate 90° so the converter block wouldn’t block adjacent outlets.

its great product i love it i bought it 2 and both of them work great

Exactly what I expected, plenty of outlets and features

Perfect backup for our apartment internet. We get constant power surges and outages. This is the best tool to avoid damaging our property.

I have used APC for over 20 years. This model is 900 watts or 1500VA and has USB and Type-C ports in the front. A total of 10 plugs total with 6 battery back-up and surge protection. You can download the Parachute software that allows you to track usage, power conditions, and power draw. With new gaming PCs requiring up to a minimum of 1,000 watts, a better way to protect your equipment and monitor your power draw and usage cost.

This is my UPS for general use in our office. I have one for each employee desk and we get an average of 150 minutes of runtime if the power goes out. Plenty of time to wrap up work and shut down normally.

Very quiet and works as usual. I have 3 devices connected to it and no issues at all.

I own 4 of these and keep them connected to entertainment setups and computers in the house. You would be amazed how many events are reordered in a day. Hot summer so every ac in the neighborhood is going. These help regulate the power to my devices and assure me I have power to properly power down my electronics.

It’s Excellent! It seems hefty enough for the job (home - MS Software Engineering). I don’t need pro stuff. I’m getting a second one today.

This APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA arrived well packaged, with the retail box securely placed inside an outer shipping box. The first thing I noticed when lifting it out was the weight. It’s much heavier than I expected, which I actually see as a good thing. It immediately gave me the impression that this is a solid, well-built unit and not something flimsy or lightweight. Unboxing was super easy. You just pull the unit out, remove some protective tape and plastic, and you’re basically ready to go. One important step is that you do need to open up the side panel and connect the internal battery. It ships disconnected for safety reasons, which makes sense. Connecting it takes just a few seconds and doesn’t require any tools. Once that’s done, it’s just a matter of plugging everything in. You can run your cable connection through the unit if you want surge protection for your modem, which is exactly what I did. I have a cable modem, so the coax goes into the UPS and then out to the modem. All of the outlets on the back offer surge protection, but only six of them provide battery backup plus surge protection. The rest are surge-only, so you’ll want to think about which devices are critical and plug those into the battery-backed outlets. One thing I do wish APC would consider for a future version is adjustable outlet orientation. Some of the power bricks I’m using are designed to stick out sideways when plugged into a normal wall outlet so they don’t block the outlet next to them. On this unit, those same bricks end up pointing downward and covering adjacent outlets, which means I can’t use every outlet on the back at the same time. It would be really nice if the outlets could rotate or be positioned differently so you could choose how those bulky plugs sit. That would make an already great design even better. When I first plugged the unit in, I noticed that a red indicator light came on for a building wiring fault. After doing some research, this likely means the wiring in my home isn’t properly grounded or isn’t fully up to code. It could also mean that a two-prong outlet was converted to a three-prong outlet without a proper ground. I tested several outlets around the house and got the same result each time. This isn’t a fault of the UPS at all, and I actually appreciate that APC included this feature. It’s better to know there’s a wiring issue than to assume everything is protected when it isn’t. It’s something I’ll eventually have an electrician take a look at. I decided to use this unit next to my home entertainment center in the living room since that’s where a lot of my important electronics are located. Right now, it’s protecting my cable modem, router, television, and a gaming desktop that’s part of my home entertainment setup. That’s a lot of gear, and having it all on one UPS gives me some real peace of mind. If there’s a power outage, I feel much better knowing my computer is protected, my TV is protected, and there’s a chance I may still have internet for a bit, depending on the situation. Overall, I’m really happy with this APC Back-UPS Pro. It feels solid, it’s easy to set up, and it’s doing exactly what I wanted it to do. I’m honestly considering picking up a second one for my office to protect another computer setup. If you have valuable home electronics and want protection from power outages, surges, or voltage fluctuations, this is a great unit to have. I highly recommend it.

Works well for all work-related needs. However it does smell when initially running it for a day or so.

200 dollars is well worth it for the peace of mins this provides

It works like it supposed to. I had a few power surges, and. And couple of times the power went out, I have two of them
