Customer Ratings & Reviews

Unit functions great.Bought two. The other one would not turn on after powering it off the very first time. Returned it, no questioned asked One I’m now using, decided to just let on all the time. No problems with that unit so far!!!

Working great still, 3 years strong and haven't had an issue so far. We use it to keep our PCs powered during outages since our grid isn't the most dependable

Works excellent right out of the box. Quiey no problem with installation

such a big battery, such peace of mind, im so happy. give me my 400$ gift card pls. jk it really is a good battery. forreal tho hook me up pls its the holidays and im broke :(

Did you know that almost 10% of humans are old? That means that having a power button that is difficult to press (due to being low to the ground or recessed) means that when this thing starts beeping because the battery is depleted it’s unnecessarily difficult for my customers to press that power button. some of them use a cane for walking and they can’t easily press the power button with their cane because it’s slightly recessed. Having an easy-to-press power button at the top of the unit is an ideal configuration.

If you have a pc you need a UPS. Very easy to connect and I love knowing that my pc is protected in case of power outages.

Listen, it's a great device until it's not. I get about 6-12 months out of each battery, and then I start getting the dreaded red ring of death and a horrible, loud ringing sound that doesn't stop. It doesn't help that this can suddenly occur while you're away, and god knows how long the device has been ringing for the neighbors (who might think to call the police bc it sounds like an emergency alarm). I file a claim with APC, and I get a new battery for free. Rinse and repeat. I probably won't buy a replacement battery after the warranty ends and they stop covering them. I just feel like I consistently get low-functioning batteries that last less than a year, when they're expected to be 3-5, and then have a scare when it decides to malfunction and scream. I feel like I'm maybe just uniquely unlucky here, considering the general take that this is a great device, but I can only go through this so many times before I feel like a fool. I'll probably shop around more for the replacement brand.

I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the APC Back-UPS 1500VA. In a world increasingly dependent on consistent power supply for devices and systems, this unit is an absolute game-changer. Firstly, the 1500VA capacity provides an abundance of backup power, efficiently sustaining my home office during several power outages. The built-in surge protection has proven invaluable, shielding my expensive electronics from unpredictable voltage spikes. The unit's seamless integration with my systems is noteworthy. I am particularly impressed with the PowerChute software that provides automated, unattended shutdown, ensuring data preservation and system integrity during extended power outages. Furthermore, the design of the Back-UPS 1500VA is appealingly compact, fitting conveniently under my desk. It has a user-friendly interface with an easily readable display that shows important stats such as remaining battery life and load capacity. What sets this UPS apart is its ecological efficiency - the Green mode reduces power consumption by bypassing unused electrical components, aligning with my values of energy conservation. Finally, I must commend APC's excellent customer service, which has been responsive and helpful whenever I had questions. The 3-year warranty and $200,000 connected equipment policy offer an extra layer of reassurance in my investment. In conclusion, the APC Back-UPS 1500VA delivers on its promise of reliability and performance, providing an exceptional level of power backup security and peace of mind. Highly recommended for anyone needing a high-capacity, high-performance UPS. It is indeed a 5/5 star product.

This is smaller and more functional than my previous unit

I was very pleased with the ease of setup and the features of the included Power Chute software. It was purchased for the purpose of saving work in progress and allowing a graceful shutdown in the event of power loss. After getting it set up and connected, I realized that it would provide the added benefit of keeping our router on line and providing charging ability for cell phones in the event of any outage that was less than about seven or eight hours. So that added functionality is an unexpected benefit. As of yet, I have not experienced a power outage so final judgment on its value will have to wait until I see how it responds to an outage.

I love this UPS so much I bought a second one. It works exactly as advertised, easy to set up and it's been running great. It saved me several times as we tend to get brief power outages here fairly often. I use it to keep my router and primary computer up and running and the second one is attached to a very expensive long arm quilting machine that my wife uses. This is power in the middle of a session it can create serious problems.

A day after hooking up the back up power source. The poto the house went out. My wife computer contine to run without a glitch. Good home investment

Works like it should. The real test will be to see how long it lasts before it needs a new battery or replacement.

I did calculations for a 1/3 hp sump pump and discovered that it equals 250 watts and a peak would be anywhere from 375-600 Watts. When I got home I was happy to discover that my calculation was correct in that the approximately 600 W on start up each time was easily covered by this machine. I would estimate that it would run at least 20 cycles of at least 30 seconds. At this price point I’d be very happy with that in emergency in my basement. I am somewhat disappointed that this Serial number that begins with 3B has the expected chirping sound. I discovered that it only happens when the display is showing. Since I have no intention of keeping display on all the time it is of no consequence to me. That is why I gave it four stars and not less. That being said I would highly recommend checking the serial number and getting the 4B rather than the 3B if this is important to you.

Excellent product. My second purchase. I had no issues with the first APC so I decided to buy another one. I would recommend it to a friend. Easy installation and it does everything as advertised. Great price point.

works well on linux and gives my systems a long run time on battery

Great product overall. Has no problem supporting and protecting my computer set up. I run everything through it, including my home wifi. It is quiet, good spacing for outlets, and includes USB outlets on the front so you do not have to use a charging brick. Setup was quick. Slim design allows me to tuck it behind my desk and out of the way.

APC is the leader in UPS. I have bought a bunch of different brands in the past but usually come back to APC. The quality and features are well worth the slightly higher cost. I like that this one has 6 battery backup outlets which is critical since I run triple monitors. This has more then enough capacity for my workstation. A nice touch is the built in USB and USB-C charging ports, this is really convenient to charge up my phone recharge my keyboard and mouse. The one thing I would like to see is for the USB-C port to be power delivery so I can charge my laptop. it is only a 15W total output for the two USB ports.

Setting up a Backup UPS is very easily done with this model and gives peace of mind when you place your Modem and computer equipment on it to ensure both are protected from surges as well. Just connect the battery and you are ready to go after your devices are attached. It shows your outlet voltage and the duration of the power available. Place the warranty information with your date of service to remind you when you may need to replace the unit or the APC battery when it is needed in the future. I use APC because it is easy to service battery replacement as well.

Easy to set up and started working immediately. Actually had a power outage a few days later and it worked perfecly.
