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.

I have 2 of these now, i bought one from microcenter back in 2020 and it has worked great, this one works almost as well, only problem is the f02 code coming up quite often, and its getting more and more common

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.

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.

This is a great UPS for a home office solution. Works great and provides plenty of battery power for an outage.

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.

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.

Easy to set up and reliable. Best choice for any user.

I had to replace an older version of this UPS as it died after a decade of perfect service. The battery did not die but the front panel did. I forget when I bought the last one but it had to be over a decade ago.

High quality, easy to setup, and has two sets of outlets--one for the battery backup and another for just surge protection. LCD display shows the current load/remaining battery power.

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.

I had a CyberPower UPS previously, and it would constantly shut off for no reason. It had a enough power. I swapped it out for this APC UPS and haven't had any issues since. The battery lasts quite a long time for us after our power goes out, which is quite often. I love this UPS and highly recommend it.

Easy to use and reliable, we have several of these and keep going back to get the same one.

I love the visibility of the current usage visible from the front panel! One day I’ll pipe that into a data grabber application on the server it’s supporting

i needed a ups to replace a failed unit and i needed to do it with cost in mind. This model is less costly than competitors but is easy to setup and has a slim profile.

I have used APC backups for years because they are very reliable. Easy to set up and use. Highly recommended for all computer equipment.

Works real well. You would buy this protection if you have a PC or electronic device that is expensive and you dont want to get it damaged from a power surge. It will also allow you to shut down your computer naturally rather than the power going out suddenly and possibly messing up you windows software that doesn't like being shutdown suddenly if the power goes out in your neighborhood.

The APC UPS works as designed and provides protection and battery back up power for 5 plugs. This will be vital when I am teaching a class and the power goes out due to monsoon thunderstorms. The UPS has my back and computer.

Looks Beautiful, Does'nt take much space, easy to install.

Just what I needed. This is protecting my TV and sound system. These are a must have these days. You never know when there will be a brown out or power spike.
