Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have been using app backup. Great system. Will recommend.

My PC plays an important role in my life. I am either working or playing on it. And PCs have become more and more expensive. If I have to replace my graphic card it can easily cost over 1,000 dollars. Computer memory is at an all time high price today at the end of 2025. The computer industry is growing AI technology and expanding everywhere it can. Tariffs are on and off and it's impossible to know where prices are headed or what shortages might happen next. Here in Southeast Texas the power grid has become more unreliable over the last few years. It has now become common to lose power during storms. I recently updated my gaming graphic card. My current UPS was unable to provide the power to run it while gaming and I was crashing to the desktop. I reduced the load and ran just the computer from a separate wall outlet and it became stable again. Getting a good UPS backup has always been a good idea but now it takes on a greater importance. The APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA is able to provide the power to run my gaming computer. It has a great build quality and replacement batteries are relatively easy to get. The display is easy to read and provides several pages of information regarding the quality of the incoming electrical signal and battery status. It includes both type A and C USB charging ports. There are six battery backup outlets and four surge only outlets. Other surge protection includes network and coax connections. The unit has a wiring fault protection indicator and does Automatic Voltage Regulation of the incoming signal. There is a $250,000 lifetime connected equipment protection policy and free technical support. The APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA also comes with a 3-year warranty. The PowerChute software you can download is quite comprehensive. It runs in a browser window and required me to setup a local account and password. Also you can find several How-to Videos online that can be helpful. I didn’t see the need to change any of the default settings. Some of the options are details on the UPS status, configurations for logging and email notifications, shutdown settings, energy management and event logging. The APC box lists up to 150 minutes of runtime. I would assume that is a max runtime since every system and what is connected will be unique. At my desktop the UPS reports 29 minutes of backup runtime. At full load while gaming and that time is reduced to 9 minutes of runtime. My system has a 13th Gen Intel i7 with a Nvidia 5080 graphic card. Setup of the UPS was easy and you have to access the battery to connect it before use. Overall this has been a pleasant update and I have already saved my progress in a Borderlands 4 boss battle that I thought would never end when the power flashed off and on. I do recommend work from home and gamers have a UPS backup system like the APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA. It's a small cost for the protection it provides and APC is a leader in the products they provide.

Needed a new one as, the older unit I had died. This unit has more than enough power to run my home network for a while.

We bought 2, unfortunately one of them died after a year. Great back up for a computer or tv. Originally bought to protect my computer data in case of power failure. Worked great did what it needed to do

Not the first time I've purchased this unit. I use this particular one for equipment I need protected from brownouts, but having a 15 minute runtime allows me a little wiggle room to shut things down properly, which is nice.

It works as advertised. I have 2 24" monitors, modem, router, and a desktop computer connected to the UPS outlets and it's still showing the load as "low". It worked just fine and battery kicked in immediately during an outage. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

I have been using these power supplies for a long time for both business and home computers. This latest design is improved with regard to the layout of the outlets. They last a few years but eventually burn out so I am keeping a spare.

This has been a great investment so far. It does give me a wonderful peace of mind knowing that if I'm in the middle of some intense gaming session on my pc or console that my equipment is protected and I have enough time to power down my electronics without damaging effects of a power surge!

Does what it's supposed to do. Lasts a while if you don't overload it.

I love this; gives a feeling of security knowing that it has my back in case of electrical issues.

Working great. Love having protection for equipment

Got this to protect my new gaming desktop as my houses power is not always super stable. This APC does the job.

Needed a good ups for our home office. So far so good.

We live in an area prone to many power outages and bought these to keep our new TV, modem and mesh system router from taking a hit. These are powerful and do the job!!

The item seems fine - the install info leaves you guessing. The included instructions say one thing - the online info something else. I called and eventually got it straight.

Great battery backup. Handles the larger workstations.

This was exactly what I needed. It is a great product and the service in the store was excellent.

Purchased this product to replace an older APC XS 1000. Needed it for a home office to allow adequate time for powering down equipment during rolling blackouts. I have found APC products to always been reliable.

Does exactly what I need it to do. We have power surges often (too often). Keeps my internet up and running when I need it most, as well as my other home office equipment.

Fast Delivery - just what I expected. I would buy UPSs from here again
