Customer Ratings & Reviews

As far as being a battery backup, look no further. Seamlessly converts from electrical power to battery power. Highly recommend.

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

Can’t live without my APC UPS. I only buy APC units. I trust them not only for surge protection, but also because the power in my Neighborhood frequently goes out. The software has never failed to shut down my workstation during these events. I like being able to monitor the fluctuations as well.

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.

Great UPS, easy to set up and work with. I purchased it for use at my office, and it works great.

Good product but horrible software. The software is now we browser-based and just not as good.

I measured the voltage on this and was delighted it was matching my multimeter. Many other brands to do. Hopefully this will be a good performer as time marches on. Plenty of outlets on the back and the USB on the front will come in handy when power does out, to keep the cellphone alive. Confident, I would purchase another without question.

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.

So far it is a good little item. It will come in handy for my cpap when the power goes out.

Does the job perfectly. I have used APC products for over 30 years in the IT industry and would expect nothing but the best performance.

easy to setup up and compact for the capacity. Price and availability met my needs

Normally, these are used for computers to keep them on longer - however, i've been using these for my Cable Modem and Router inside my house. It helps to keep my internet working during power outages so the kids can keep school going on their iPAD's and laptops. Little life hack for difficult Covid school @ home times...

I use it for, gaming/prod pc and work. Quality is great, design is good time will tell how it holds up

I've used various UPS's over the years for by various computer and audio systems, but have settled on APC and in particular this unit for my fairly demanding computers and server (each system on its own UPS). The software leaves a little to be desired, but in the end, the software tools really don't get much use and perform a pretty simple job.

This unit has a constant, high-pitched whine that never goes away even at full battery power, on or off battery, and only changes pitch slightly (but still audible) when the LCD screen is on. When unplugging the unit, the whine continues for a while, suggesting it's somehow related to the battery. For my use, it was under my desk and still very audible, so all the marketing materials showing it on top of a desk (which would presumably be closer to the user) and considering the overall high rating from many users, it makes me wonder if not all the units exhibit this whine (QC issue?) or if the frequency is not audible to everyone, or both. However, further reading and research shows plenty of other users have had this same issue, unfortunately. I have always, exclusively used APC UPS for the smaller units (900 VA and lower) and have been happy with the brand overall. This is the largest I've purchased, but I had to return it and go with a different brand. Just couldn't take the whining sound in general use, even with other white noise in the room. And didn't want to try a different one of the same model because of reading others' experiences with the whining. If it wasn't for the whining sound, this unit is good. The LCD is bright and the unit seemed to function well for the 48 hours I used it. Socket locations in the back are fine, plenty of cord length, easy access to battery, front panel access for USB connections. CONS: -High-pitch whining sound that never stops PROS: -Bright, functional LCD screen -Number of sockets -Easy battery access, user-replaceable -Front panel access for USB and USB-C -Cord length Despite having good experiences overall with APC and definitely recommending the brand in general, I cannot recommend this particular unit because of that one, very annoying flaw.

Best money that I can think of spending. Had three quick losses of power that burned out my router and one of my other WiFi boxes.

APC is a brand I’ve trusted for a long time, and that co times with this unit. Efficient, good number of plugs, easy to read display. I.n the short time I’ve had it, there have been 3 small outages and this kept everything protected as it should.

So I buy these regularly for work, dozens per year. The 1500 series is still worth replacing batteries once they wear down after 2-3 years of mild use. Heavy use in bad power environments gets you less battery life but that is to be expected. This is cheap insurance for your high dollar electronics - highly recommend!

Always best to protect your electronics from surges, and here in Florida they are all too common. APC makes a great product. This one is for the TV and stereo and Blu-ray, no movie interruptions for those power blinks. Been buying APC for many years and they are consistently of exceptional quality.

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 .
