    I have used APC Backups for several years and found them to be easy to set up and reliable to operate. That is why when it was time to upgrade my current backup system, I selected the Back-UPS Pro 1500 for my home system/

    This has given me so much peace of mind after investing so much money into a gaming PC setup. We've had several power outages in my city and my electronics have been unaffected due to this backup battery.

    Works the way it should. Not really much more to say but Best Buy requires at least 50 characters.

    This is my second APC UPS, highly recommended. We have very short power interruptions sometimes, so this solved our issues with our home internet setup and some other electronics. Performs great, and has a bunch of outlets on the back (both surge and surge+battery).

    Power went out recently for approx two hours while away and it worked flawlessly. Utilizing it for home router and separate mesh wifi system to maintain uninterrupted home security. Exterior Nest cams already have built in battery backup. This setup enabled me to not lose any security coverage on my residence while I was away. Otherwise, I would have lost all coverage. Worked as expected for my application. Recommend.

    So basically everything related to my computer is connected to this battery. The LCD is very convenient as it tells you how much battery is left depending on the amount of electronics connected. I even have my modem connected which it has been a life saver at the moments I have lost electricity.

    Bought this to replace similar capacity Cyberpower UPS that has somehow failed after only a few years. This unit works as expected and provides a few more power outlets. I really like the spaced outlets for larger "brick" power plugs without having to use short pigtail extension cords. So far, so good.

    Great unit for surges. 2 batteries in case of outages for kast minute saves. This unit also told me my wiring has no ground saving me from a potential fire or shortage.

    Built a new gaming computer. Power went out when I was using it. Power them came on and off a few times. Computer took a very long time to restart. Scarred me. Went to Best Buy and now protected. Easy to set up. Easy to use software. Would recommend.

    Well built and provides protection from power surges and failures. All sensitive electronics should have this type of protection, and this UPS delivers well.

    Great option for a home office or gaming setup. I have 2 of these right now and they work great. They both flip to battery very quickly and have never failed to continue to provide power to anything plugged into it. Lots of power outlets and extremely easy to setup and use.

    APC is a well known vendor in the ups field, this is a must for a home office or any gamer with hard earned money invested in their hardware. it has save my bacon many times when we lost power, The UPS flawlessly took the load and allowed me to shut down properly after saving the work i was doing. IT also took the load with ease when the power was flickering and kept any spikes from damaging my hardware/

    This is the second back up from this APC I have purchased. The 1st one was 4 years ago (BN 1000) & still working great. When our elect goes out we are able to keep our wifi running for awhile. We would not really know about power surges but this backup beeps when it happens & it is frequent in our area. This has been a computer lifesaver. The APC backup is highly recommended.

    I have two of these and they perform as expected. Highly recommend this item as they protect your valuables. The older one of the 2 has had a direct surge and all was protected from damage.

    We didn't need something that provided hours and hours of backup and this unit was just what we were looking for. Services the modem and VPN perfectly. And I especially liked the size, as it needed to be fit into a smaller cabinet. Power went out and this unit never missed a beat.

    The APC 1500 BN1500M2 UPS has enough power for my fully loaded gaming PC with multiple video cards, overclocked CPU & RAM, multiple SSD, sound card, external DAC & amp, and multiple monitors. The new style display is outstanding compared to my old APC XPS 1300 UPS. The display is bright and large. Unfortunately there is one issue with the display. When the display is on, there is a faint but ever present high pitched whine. The high pitched whine is faint enough that you may tell yourself it is okay, but there are days where I wish I returned the unit. The high pitched whine is not present when the display is turned off. However as mentioned above in my review I do like the display turned on when using the unit. Overall I love the unit due to the stability of the voltage output, surge protection, and battery back-up, but I find the faint high pitched whine that is present when the display is turned on to be annoying and hard to live with.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
