    Solid product protecting your equipment, must have for any person serious about their computers and servers at home. Will buy it again. A bit overpriced for my taste but I got it the same day I needed it otherwise I would get it online for less.

    Tye Pro 1500VA provides all the features I could ever want to protect my in-home LAN and requirements for stable uninterrupted service for multiple pieces of equipment. The combination of protected and unprotected outlets allowed me to eliminate multiple extension cords/outlets givinging be confidence, enhancing safety and eliminating visual cord/cable disorder. I was so impressed that I installed two 1500VA in my home office to support multiple computers and printers.

    Got me through a good rub sesh without having to break and go reset the breaker. Could have gone on another 40 or so minutes it said with my computer under load and my Fleshlight rocket blasting at full rpms. Only problem is it's on the better side of really loud. Like think in between the fire alarm at a school for the deaf and how loud you gotta talk for Grammy to hear your 3 seats down at a quiet dinner table. Lots of outlets in the back too, not very big, nice subtle look.

    Much better than the last model I had owned. Have lost power in my home a few times from storms and this UPS has done very well powering fans and charging our phones through the hot Texas nights when we lost power.

    thought the unit was defective due to it shutting off upon power loss. after calls to apc found out that this unit is only rated for 900 watts. 5080 video card plus 2 monitors and other accessories all added up to obe more than it can handle.

    APC Back-UPS PRO 1500VA Review

    I bought this APC Back-UPS PRO 1500VA to replace a failed older APC 1500VA unit (also purchased at Best Buy) due to water damage. That unit was probably 15 years old and would have still worked if the damage wouldn't have occurred to it. I did have to replace the battery (about $50 online) in the older one, though, as it wouldn't hold a charge for too long because of its age at the time (about 8 years). The old unit still worked, but the relay(s) in it were shot due to the water damage (if power was lost, it wouldn't engage the battery power). I have always used an APC Back-UPS 1500VA for my gaming computer/monitor/Cisco switch/coaxial cable for cable modem. This device "cleans" the incoming wall power and prolongs the life of your expensive and sensitive electronics, not to mention that it provides continuous power for your equipment from brownouts and power outages until your home power is restored again. I can have almost 40 minutes of backup power available for my computer/LED monitor if I am not computing heavily. This new unit is also great because it has 2 USB outlets (my old one did not) to charge your phones (or anything that uses a USB cable) if the power should ever go out and you need a charge. This unit is highly recommended.

    Being a full-time RV'er, this UPS is a must when ensuring uninterrupted power is available for my computer equipment. If you are relying upon your generator, and power is diverted from your AC outlets to power other high-current appliances or equipment, this APC handles the load for my system with no problems. As of this writing, I have been using it for three months and it is doing just fine. My system pulls quite a load, but this UPS holds up power for almost an hour. I certainly recommend it for such instances.

    Well, It saved me 7 times this year already. With CA having rolling blackouts without any warning. This gives me time to shut everything down and keep a light on for up to 128 minutes. It performed so well that I purchased an additional one for the entertainment center so no matter what I could keep my wifi going. 5 additional boxes were purchased later to protect my remaining computers and TV's in the house. This is a must for every house that has unstable power or power surges. You can monitor your usage by the program. I highly recommend the APC units.

    Great UPS/Battery Backup - No more power outages

    Great UPS/Battery Backup! We have been having power fluctuations in our area due to some of the construction going on and this unit has made our ability to continue working seamlessly. If your in the market or think you need one, I’d highly recommend it! It’s very well priced in my opinion for what it is capable of doing in the event of loss of power.

    Easy set up and has a warning light if there is a problem with the electricity in the building you are in. Haven't had to use the battery part yet as my power hasn't gone out yet though.

    Easy setup, works as intended. The power grid where I live is stressed due to unprecedented growth. Go back to the coast, don’t ruin my rural area with your backward politics. Past year or so power outages are frequent, this has stopped all my improper shutdown messages on my NAS and my PlayStation. Should have done it sooner. Seriously, don’t leave an area because of high taxes and crime. And try to implement the same policies that create high taxes and crime in the area you move to.

    This is a great battery backup. I purchased it to upgrade the previous one I had. Although I haven't timed it, conservatively this lasts an estimated 15-20 minutes (maybe longer), while my previous backup would die in about 5.

    Awesome little unit, I had an old 750 unit and it couldn’t handle the load from my new pc build so I got the 1500 knowing the quality of the product and I’m very impressed with how much sleeker it is with the vertical standing design as opposed to the old horizontal setup. It also has the convenient display so you can see the load and battery backup info. You do have to connect the battery before operating but it’s not too bad at all.
