Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great battery backup. It protects against surges and unplanned shutdowns.

I have been using Back-UPS Pros for many years. They are easy to set up and manage. This unit has plenty of outlets: 6 with surge & backup power and 4 additional surge protected outlets (all 3-prong). It also as USB ports, although I don't use them. The following are basic limitations of this type of device to keep in mind but are not a product flaw. (1) They are heavy; hence, lift carefully and plan to sit them on the floor. (2) The batteries last years but eventually need to be replaced. However, because all surge protectors (built in to this device) tend to degrade over time (especially if you frequently get power "jolts" and blackouts), I sleep better by simply replacing the entire unit when the battery needs replacing. (This one that I just bought replaces a unit that lasted over 15 years.)

Got this for my gaming PC and it works great during power outages and power fluctuations, holds up quite well even with my 7950x and rtx 4090 equipped rig .. at first I was wondering if it would keep up when the power went out but yea it does quite a nice job and don't miss a beat.. at idle I get about 20 minutes of battery time and gaming about 5 minutes which is long enough to exit and shut down properly.. there is also apc software you can download to auto shut down the PC when it gets to a certain battery level or after so many minutes on battery which is a nice feature... I see it as cheap insurance for surges and outages especially when you spend several thousand dollars on a nice rig , highly recommend this unit for sure

I have been running APC products for years, and currently have three in use now; two rated at 1500VA and a smaller one that I use as both a backup and surge suppresser. When the small one inevitably dies, I'll replace it with a unit like this. This is my third APC unit of this size. I've had several smaller ones, but they seem to die after a couple of years. The larger units run well, and have the added advantage of having a replaceable battery, since that seems to be the most common point of failure as they age. Replacing the battery is much cheaper than buying another complete unit. I use to think to buy just enough VA to support my current equipment demand, but I've learned that loading a back-up supply beyond 80% capacity seems to shorten its life.

Loving it. I've been running it for a month in a detached home office with some power fluctuations and it's working great. I love the display showing the capicity and wattage draw.

This APC unit is easy to set and use. APC provides a dual layer of protection against power outages, with surge protection on every outlet and battery backup for select outlets you can organize your cords such that it protects your computer. With the router & modem connected to the battery backup, we still can access the internet during power outages. This product is built to last.

I got this to prevent power surge damage in case there ever was one my buddy had one and it works amazing though I haven’t had a power outage or surge yet I trust it completely it looks very nice and fits snuggly on the side of my desk making my setup look that much more techy although a little pricey.

I work remotely (40 mins from office) and, while the office has a generator backup and a UPS for the server, there weren't UPS for any of the work stations. I chose this because, while it's overkill for one work station, as the battery ages, it'll still be dependable. Easy to setup. Dead silent. Totally reliable.

I've always had APC-UPS's and this one is a great addition to my office. I've got a Mac Mini, 2 monitors, an ethernet switch, and a few peripherals hooked up to it. After a few power outages, I can say that this great and when it is in use, the switch over is seamless and gives plenty of time to safely shut down, if the power is out for longer than 45 minutes.

For the most part, this battery backup is exactly what it claims to be; a high-amperage battery backup that can run and protect a decent gaming rig and office setup for close to an hour during an outage or spike. However, I have two complaints about this device; one minor, and one major. The minor one I can forgive. The major one would be a dealbreaker had I known about it in advance. The minor one is the software. The APC PowerChute software is nearly identical to the way it was back in the early 2000s from my first device, and still just as poorly designed, limited, and unintuitive. Once I had the initial values set, I completely uninstalled it and am using the native Windows subsystem to control it. If you don't intend to change the default protection settings or are willing to do so from the onboard LCD screen, don't even bother installing the software; just let Windows do the work. The major flaw with this device is the Ethernet "protection". I'm not sure what malarkey happened in the design or build process, but on a known good CAT-6 Gigabit ethernet system, all traffic slowed to a crawl as collisions went through the roof. 1Gbps was still reporting, and DHCP still functioned, but the network instantly became nearly useless. I (as an IT pro) spent three days futzting with it before giving up and just not using Ethernet protection. Known good cables, clean ports, correct orientation, but just utterly useless. Didn't even bother trying to use the coax protection. It's not worth returning the device since I have my entire network isolated via a different (also APC) UPS making the passthrough in this somewhat redundant, but it's still frustrating that a normally reputable company would pass testing on a product with such issues; yeah it technically works, but so poorly that it's garbage. The ironic thing is there was a receipt-style printout taped to the device that shows, among other things, ethernet PASSED. Uh huh. Sure. In summary, if you don't need Ethernet protection, go for it; the rest of this product (minus the software) is rock-solid. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Excellent UPS to protect your devices. The screen shows you the VA entrance, Watts consume, the current load, the time remaining according the current load of devices plugged. I have connected 3 devices only: - 1 Asus Monitor gamer 24" - PC gaming (i7 9gen, 2060, 32ram, leds in case, in keyborad, in mouse, etc) - PS5 When power went out: - It gives me around 75-82 minutes with monitor and PC (using for basic things, web, office, etc) - Around 50 minutes with monitor and PC (doing 3d models in Maya) - Around 20-25 minutes with monitor and PC (when gaming) - Like 15-20 minutes to shut down everything if I'm using the 3 devices at the same time (doing basic things in PC, and gaming in PS5) I have other APC, but it is the 900VA capacity, and it is enough for a PC (like mine) and monitor, it gives your around 12-35 minutes depending what are you doing.

Really good battery backup / search protector system works wonderful and helps keep all of my stuff safe

So far, the unit is working perfectly!! Robust and quick to respond...compact (vs. similar models), easy to use, and comes with great reviews! I'm unsure of the replacement battery costs (long-term review), but it's a great option to consider... Just my opinion.

Desperately needed more UPS power for my network, NAS and a few other smaller devices and picked up this amazing deal. It's been phenomenal for me, plus some additional piece of mind in case we lose power this winter and need to charge other devices. Could not recommend it enough.

Very nice never let me down, nice size, good design

Very reliable great product that was easy to install and has good software that can help you track your usage of electricity, very user-friendly and not as bulky and heavy as older models so if it’s perfectly in the area that I needed to

Perfect and reliable. Exactly the right UPS. This one has all the bells and whistles. This is the perfect UPS for your setup this one for text my main desktop and gives me nearly 2 hours to shut it down. If I'm not there, it does it automatically. Perfect.

I was so impressed with the first one that I bought another one. Good price, excellent performance. We have frequent short-term power outages and these two units keep things running until I can shut down the PC's & other equipment. Very nice front panel display.

I love this battery back it lasts a good while and makes it all well worth it for our company

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.
