Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Haven't had any issues with the product so far, was easy to set up and it already protected my pc from a power outage, very satisfied. G They go on discount pretty often so get things on discount if you can though.

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.

Easy set up, worked right first time, would purchase again, but hopefully won’t have to.

I have 2 of these already, this is the third. The oldest is over 10 years old and has never had a problem. I pretty much run a whole network off of each: computer, TV, NAS drives, router, printer. Gives enough time to do a proper shutdown, and connects to the computer via USB so your computer can know to shutdown if you're not there.

this has been great. We have a number of short power outages. This keeps our modem and wifi running. So, we don't need to reset things when the power goes it. It is very convient. The best compliment I could give is that I don't notice we have it.

Does what it is supposed to. Needed a bigger battery backup for my gaming PC. This one has more than enough headroom to power my 6800xt, 12600k, and 2 monitors. Gives me plenty of time to power down in the event of an outage. The screen on the front is nice as you can cycle through displaying current wattage use, time remaining on battery power, etc...

I bought this UPS to replace an older, much larger and noisier one. I'm very happy with this purchase because the replacement was very simple and the equipment is well protected. I already had the opportunity to test it during a power outage. Good choice.

I have used all sorts of models of APC UPSes and have yet to be let down by one. I have some APC UPSes that are going on 10 years old, and have no reason to believe that this unit will be any different. Compared to the old model, this UPS is smaller physically, and has a more readable display. I love the tilted display so that you can see it without bending over. This unit is powering a 27" iMac with 2 23" displays, a Thunderbolt 3 dock, several extenal HDDs, an Ethernet switch, and powered speakers, and it looks like I'll get around 30 minutes of runtime powering all of that. That's about 10 minutes longer than the unit that this one is replacing (which will now be serving network closet duty). I did not notice any clicking noises coming out of the unit unlike some of the other reviewers. I did however, notice a bit of a high pitched noise while the LCD is on. It is fairly quiet, and it doesn't really bother me much to be honest. You won't be able to hear it with most normal computer related tasks going on.

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.

This really came in good use and works amazing. I had a hurrican last year and this was the best invesment I had and all my electronices that was pluged in kept working.

After many years of service, my APC Back-UPS NS 1250 gave up and this is the replacement. Nice upgrade with the display on the front. This UPS support a big system, I9-7920, 64GB, roughly a dozen HD's, multiple monitors and shows the load at ~1/3. Use case for me is preventing system resets during short power blips. This UPS will last well over 5 minutes and if the power is out longer than that I shut down (gracefully) and wait until the main power is restored. Excellent UPS

Using for Sinology 4Bay NAS + router + modem + USB HDD All will run on backup for more than enough time of safe shutdown + a bit of run time.

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

Pretty stable unit... only issue I have is it once in awhile starts beeping with no power interruption which requires the device get turned off then on again. Does the job, though!

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.

This battery backup allows multiple items to be plugged in for both surge and battery protection. Currently it is protecting a desktop computer, a 32" monitor, an LCD TV, and a PS4. We have "dirty" electricity and experience multiple surges each week; however, I know my expensive electronics are safe with this UPS. Plus, in a power outage I have a precious few minutes to shut everything down properly and not lose my data. Just be aware it is very heavy.

After lightning took out my twelve year old APC BackUPS, I replaced it with this model. It works as advertised, but has one minor issue, and is missing one critical feature my old backup had. The minor issue... When the display on the front is on, the UPS emits a high pitched whine, audible from several feet away in a quiet room. I'd exchange the UPS if it weren't such a hassle, but it's likely they all do this. I have the display set to shut off after a few seconds to avoid the issue. The missing feature... My old APC UPS had a master electrical socket on the back that controlled a bank of other sockets. I had my PC plugged into that master socket, and when I turned off my PC, the UPS turned off that bank of other sockets. I had my external speakers, DAC, and headphones amplifier plugged into those sockets, and when I shut down my PC, the UPS turned off power to those devices. That was a handy feature I will miss. By the way, APC suggests replacing the batteries every three years. From experience, they will last at least twice that long. I don't replace mine until the UPS fails a self-test. Recycle your old batteries when you replace them. My old UPS gave its life protecting my computer, expensive digital piano, printer, etc. from a severe lightning strike. That's my main reason for having a UPS. Thanks, old UPS. You will be missed. :)

I've owned multiple APC products over the years and they've saved countless pieces of equipment from damage during power surges and brown outs. Recently my area was hit hard by some storms that knocked out power to many of my neighbors. I picked up this unit from Best Buy and immediately hooked it up. The power went out the very next day so I got to test it out right away. I managed to get about 30 minutes from the battery which was really great. This unit was a bit more pricey than I was looking to spend, but it's been worth it.
