Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently upgraded to the APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA, and it’s easily one of the best UPS units I’ve owned. Setup was quick, the build feels solid, and the LCD screen makes it simple to monitor load, runtime, and battery health at a glance. With 10 outlets (six battery + four surge), it handles my full workstation, networking gear, and peripherals with room to spare. The addition of USB-C and USB-A ports is a nice touch for keeping devices charged without tying up outlets. Performance has been flawless—during a short outage it kicked in instantly and kept everything running smoothly. The unit is quiet, efficient, and gives me real peace of mind knowing my equipment is protected. If you need a dependable, feature-rich UPS for home or office, this model is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

APC is one of the top UPS vendors but this thing is awesome. Plenty of pdu, easy to read on device stats, and the software that can be installed on pc/server to give you real-time stats is awesome! Two physical servers, Router, POE switch, NAS. Powers out. I have almost 30 minutes to gracefully shut down. I’ll be skipping other vendors going forward!

I got this item because of increasingly unreliable electric service: brownouts, surges, short outages. I had already protected my cable and wireless modems and happy with that service. I wanted this to protect cable tv box, apple tv, and main 55inch tv. I realize it's not intended for long outages, but this is enough to handle short outages. I've already had one incident and the device worked well. Best Buy had a fair price, it was delivered to my home quickly, the device was easy to set up, and it is unobtrusive.

Excellent backup power supply. Bought it to backup my modem and router into in the event of a power outage. I haven't been put in a situation to actually need it yet, but according to the display, it'll last about 3 hours with both modem and router plugged in. I have tested it by unplugging it and it works just as advertised.

Since buying this I’ve gone through 5-6 power outages/spikes in the last year alone smh. I live in a place where power goes out almost every time it rains heavy. So being able to maintain power and even internet for 4-5 hours with light usage & even charge all my devices phone’s laptops usb flashlights etc is AMAZING life saver. My devices are protected now cause I hate not knowing if my devices will still work correctly once the power returns I can just safely turn off like normal. Much much better than a regular power strip with a surge protector glad I spent the money this makes me want to buy a even more expensive one haha. Only thing I found odd is you have to open it up & connect the positive terminal which is strange to me the negative terminal is always connected. If you don’t do this your battery obviously won’t work you’ll just have a $200 power strip. You’ll see what I mean when you open it, so just like connecting the positive terminal on a car while having the negative connected it sparked at me & gave a loud pop. Kinda scared me but I guess that’s just how they designed it….been working great since. They should’ve had you connect the negative terminal i fee like, not a major deal it works so just don’t worry about it if it sparks/pops at you

I really want to complain about something, but this APC is 10 of 10. Pretty quite "buzz" noise when it works from battery(it also beeps and u can mute it) Bought second one for my bro PC. 3+ years it works great, sometimes have power problems and it handles great no matter what I'm doing, gives plenty of time (30min +/-) depending on load/system what u have. Had coke spilled on it, it still worked for rest of 5 min before I turned it off with rest of PC, easy to clean... it took some time, tutorial videos on YouTube, maybe got lucky, year past incident and it just works no issues. Also you can setup Power consumption via HWinfo(Riva Tuner) while u playing games.

If you're someone who runs a home or office network, you know how frustrating power outages can be. But after experiencing over 18 quick outages in the past year, I can confidently say that my APC UPS has been a lifesaver. This UPS is incredibly easy to set up and use, and it provides an estimated back up time of 90 minutes, which is more than enough to keep my network running during short power outages. It has also saved my equipment from potential damage caused by power surges and spikes. But what impresses me most about this APC UPS is its reliability. Even during extended outages, it has kept my network up and running without any interruptions. And because it's designed to shut down my equipment in a safe and controlled manner, I don't have to worry about any data loss or corruption. Overall, I highly recommend this APC UPS to anyone who needs reliable and consistent power protection for their network. It's easy to use, provides ample back up time, and has saved my equipment from potential damage on numerous occasions.

The best UPS I ever owned. The tower is more convenient and easier to store under desk or on top of desk -- whichever you wish.

The APC Back-UPS Pro is reliable, kicks in instantly during outages or drops, and gives you plenty of runtime to save your work. The build is solid and compact…it blends in well with my hardware setup

Almost 5 years later and still going strong. I have had a few power outages where this system has had to kick in and I was able to do the work needed to be done. Plenty of outlets for what I needed for it. Spacing is fairly well for oddly shaped plugs. Would buy again.

This unit performs very well. It allows plenty of time to shut down our systems in a power outage. It keeps necessary medical equipment going for several hours, often until power is restored. We have three of them protecting systems in our house.

Purchased this APC UPS for my wife's gaming PC. It's pretty easy to use and has decent runtime for it's price point. I recommend it for most builds.

The performance is great , long lasting and more. The price is also good for that it is.

Liking the product so far. Easy setup and had all the backup battery outlets I needed. This was to replace a very old backup system with a depleted battery.

This APC unit is easy to set and use. APC provides a dual layer of protection against power outages, with surge protection on every outlet and battery backup for select outlets you can organize your cords such that it protects your computer. With the router & modem connected to the battery backup, we still can access the internet during power outages. This product is built to last.

Easy setup, nice number of plugs. Tested by pulling the plug and none of my homelab equipment had any issues. I don't use the more advanced features in my setup, so can't speak to those, but if you want a reliable battery back-up, APC continues to produce quality products.

Got this for my gaming PC and it works great during power outages and power fluctuations, holds up quite well even with my 7950x and rtx 4090 equipped rig .. at first I was wondering if it would keep up when the power went out but yea it does quite a nice job and don't miss a beat.. at idle I get about 20 minutes of battery time and gaming about 5 minutes which is long enough to exit and shut down properly.. there is also apc software you can download to auto shut down the PC when it gets to a certain battery level or after so many minutes on battery which is a nice feature... I see it as cheap insurance for surges and outages especially when you spend several thousand dollars on a nice rig , highly recommend this unit for sure

Easy setup. Has multiple port connections and battery/surge protection plugs.

Great so far! Love the fact that this UPS has dual batteries and that the screen gives you important information like remaining runtime and load capacity (it also has a mute button!) Very easy to use and install the batteries as well, the only minor issue is their software, the old version looks very dated and the new one only runs in the browser.

Works great. Just as advertised. When power fails it switches to battery and keeps server up for about 40 minutes.
