Power in Santa Cruz is "dirty" and fluctuations can harm your electronics. The APC Battery Back-Up will protect your computer from power surges and it will properly shut down your computer in the event of a power outage. Definitely worth the money.

Wish it lasted longer when power goes out. Also too expensive

This was easy to set up just plug in the battery and then plug in the device and whatever you want powered. There's a red light i the back warnig that the outlet i have it in isn't grounded which isn't good for me but the device has taken over in outages and when the electricity fluctuates in my area so I'm really happy that it's protecting my most expensive deevices!

The power regularly goes off at my home due to living in a rural area. I bought this APC to prevent my computer from shutting off and losing progress or risk damaging it. The power went out 2 days after I got it and I had plenty of time to save and shut down my pc. Worked like a charm!

Had an older APC - Back-UPS 1500VA,that I had for several years, that started switching back and forth between the green light and the yellow light. I replaced the battery and the condition continued. I decided that there must be a problem with the internal electronics so I decided to replace the unit. Bought the newer model and have not have the problem since.

Great for using with TVs and other electronic items. Ends issues with short power outages. For longer outages allows you to do a normal shutdown.

Excellent product, APC is always the number one choice when it comes to battery UPS

Rated relative to the price: the next step up on quality is 3-5 times as expensive so these are the ones we use. We have 6 of them: two computer systems, two for our network, and two TVs. Uses standard sized batteries which typically last about 3 years and aren't too hard to replace. They last a lot longer than the smaller ones.

Nice to have during this storm prone spring season here in TN. Keeps my cable modem and TV powered on so we have a TV with the Tornado warnings on. Cable modem used to take over 5 minutes to recover just from a 2 second interruption in power.

This is a must have battery backup, especially for those with a home office. I’ve experienced two power outages recently and this batter backup kept my modem and router running for hours so I could keep working. I will be ordering another soon for my other office equipment. Highly recommended!!!

This is the king of UPS battery backups!! I lost power one day after i turned this up and it kept all my electronics up with no issues. Great battery strength held up 3 monitors, a desktop, and 2 laptops running for at least 30 minutes. More than enough time to safely backup up my work and power down.

very good product , highly reliable and works very good

My several year-old UPS died abruptly, so I dropped into my local BB store to get this one to replace it! Has more outlets that are "backup" ready than the one it replaced. It's also a 1500VA vs the 1350VA it replaced. This is my third APC UPS and, as expected, it works as advertised and the included software allows me to monitor my stats. Highly recommend!

Last 20min on a draw of nearly 400w, good ui,easy to use.

I highly recommend APC uninterruptible power supplies. I’ve purchased three for the past 10 years and only now am I beginning to replace them. Not because of catastrophic failure, but because it’s recommended to me to do so. They are solid as a rock.

I've been using APC UPS's for many years... they really are top-notch in reliability and longevity .The unit is about half the size of a PC tower and is it ever heavy, Battery inside must be huge .

This is my 4th one around the house. Has not failed in over a year and keeps my internet and cameras running with any power outage.

Great piece of equipment. I recommend it to everyone.

Nice product, reasonable price, good availability from Best Buy. Easy setup. Everything works so far. Showing 35 minutes of backup power with cable modem, router, PC and home security system all plugged in and running, good enough for our needs. Recommended.

Does what you expect it to. I appreciate the display and functionality. I can’t really expect more from a batter backup than doing what it’s supposed to! Last night power went out while we were sleeping. Woke up partway through the outage and our home server was still on allowing me to power it off gracefully.
