Customer Ratings & Reviews

Mid-tier but reliable power supply. No fault to product as only issues are clearly noted in description (heavy/cumbersome, etc). Has held up well over last two years and helped power refrigerator during power outage.

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.

Bought this 5 years ago - works great / going strong. Definately better quality than Cyberpower which have failed twice in the past.

Working very well. I bought this product during the thanksgiving and it's still working very well. No complains.

Ive had it for almost a month now, it works perfectly. Its kicked on properly every time. I use it to run my conputer and monitors. Even at max load it can handle it. My computer can pull up to 1000W at max load and it can handle it just fine.

I use it to power our home entertainment center (TV, receiver, subwoofer, stream box, BD player) + a Wi-Fi node. Lately we had issues with our power during rainy or windy days and so I started looking for solutions. This is an excellent power supply: works as expected and absolutely no noise for my setup (power draw 170-350W). It helped identify a stand-up power draw from the receiver (if I had this 2 years ago it would have already paid off just from the power savings).

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

Reduced size from the previous version. Reliable and easy to set up.

The APC Back-UPS Pro are wonderful ways to protect electronic devices from power surges as well as unexpected power outages. I go a little bit too far with the battery back-up units and have more than a dozen around the house. I protect all of my computer equipment as well as my TV/video system. I have a projector and it came with a warning, do not unplug the projector while it was operating, or it is possible that the bulb could be damaged. I was there when someone tripped over a cord and unexpectedly disconnected power to a projector at a trade show class and within a few seconds, there was a "POP" and the bulb exploded. I was watching a movie on my video projector when power went out. The UPS automatically kicked in and prevented any damage to the bulb; the bulbs are very expensive. I have also been able to do controlled shutdowns of my computers when power was unexpectedly lost. If you have a UPS and it saves one nice piece of electronic equipment or allows you to save the work you are doing on a computer rather than loose progress and possibly have corrupted data, I feel it is very much worth it. Just be aware that you will usually need to replace the batteries in the UPS about every 4-5 years.

The product seems very nice, but I don't know how well the battery performs. I've never had a power outage yet.

The #1 best purchase of 2023. If you don't have your pc on one your risking a lot. Its expensive but dam is it worth not having to worry your computer or other devices will explode due to a bad power strip. The added time before blackouts is great as well.

Super useful. When outages occur this devices kicks in with out an issue. Plus you can have warranty replacements with the manufacturer.

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.

Took over the load when the last one gave out. It was easy to configure.

Works great! I got it to replace my 450w since I upgraded my PC, no issues whatsoever. Will recommend

Works great! Using this to power my entire home entertainment system and it never goes over 60% load.

This unit is easy to install and operate. The display is very readable and supplies good information. The display and sound can be turned on and off. The USB ports in front are a good feature. This unit is being used as backup for a broadband router. Performed well in a power outage a week ago. Customer

Working GREAT just as expected. I am very happy with the item!!

Great unit - easy to set up and I love the slim design.

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. :)
