    Easy to set up and install. This back up power source works well during power outages and surge events.

    This was my 5th APC unit purchased over the years. You know what you are getting and it performs as advertised. Pick up any APC product - you will not be disappointed.

    Nice power backup system for the home or the office. Adequate number of outlets. Battery life is around 1+ year, easy to buy 3rd party battery to replenish the unit

    Great products had the previous version for several years and had to upgrade. So far works as advertised. Just make sure you know how many watts every thing you hook up to is so your expectations are realistic.

    I did not care to use the included installation disk. It works right out of the box just fine. I particulailly like the design of the unit. It seems to work very wellfor my use.

    I have installed it and forgotten about it. Occasionally, I look at the reports that show issues and the times it jumped in to keep power going. Works like a charm. Good investment

    I had this installed today and the installer was the one that recommended that I purchase this. He doesn't even work for Best Buy but this was his number one choice. A little pricey at 209.00 but he said well worth it.

    This works really well with PCs that draw a lot of power especially when gaming. The only issues I have is the plugs are a bit close to each other and make it hard to fit some adaptors. In addition, the software is a bit outdated. I am surprised APC hasn't updated it in 10 years.

    Replaced Failed UPS. When my Back-UPS XS 1500 failed I was able to seamlessly replace it with APC - Back-UPS Pro 1500VA 10-Outlet/2-USB Battery Back-Up and Surge Protector. It was basically plug & play no issues.

    Piece of mind powering my setup

    Replaced a very old SmartUPS that was limited in the its informational display and a boat anchor to boot. This Backup UPS Pro is slim, sleek, and comparatively lite weight, but packs all the needed clean power. The new digital display is loaded with a wealth of helpful battery runtime information to cycle through without the need for software. The display itself if crystal clear and easy to read from the floor given the slight inward angle of the display and the white lettering on black background. I have it keeping safely steady state most of my home office setup: several monitors, a home nas, networking equipment, and a chunky pc. Outlet count is more than what I had before, but a bit of a misrepresentation of the spec page as its a evenly split between battery backed plugs and line power plugs. Still, got all the critical devices into the right plugs with the increased count. The higher VA of this unit provides plenty of run time in it to get everything safely wrapped up should power ever go out. The ongoing battery replacement cost is much more reasonable over what I had before. Overall if you have a lot of devices that need to survive a power bump or need extended run without jumping to the much more expensive SmartUPS line, you can't go wrong with this model

    Good price, battery backup with surge protection. We often have power surges and the internet goes out at our office. We now have more than 10 of these to guarantee we can continue working when this happens.
