Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decent Unit, APC does well, I would like to see some additional wattage for the price, however, serves it's function, better than most.

Great UPS have been using it for about a month now and it seems to work great.

Worked as expected. No cd installation to go through. Just plug and go.

This is my second UPS from this manufacturer. Very reliable.

Works as expected. I use this brand at work and home.

Excellent product! This is used to serve as a backup power source for our IT closet and has come in handy a few times in the past few months. I will be ordering more to upgrade our office later this year!

Helps with power outages. Saves my gaming consoles and TV.

Great backup device to keep my router and security hub turned on. There are options on the device that improves performance.

bought this originally in 2019 because we were having occasional brownouts and small blackouts for which it worked great. after having owned 3 units now because of the same error code on all 3 of the units i can no longer recommend them in good conscience. they all worked great until they all hit the same error code, F06, which indicates a problem with the internal relays. i didn't use them in an unintended way in the time that i had them, not even with an abnormally large load on them either. but i've had to use the manufacturer's warranty on the first 2 and i don't think i'll be using it on the third. i'll be looking towards other battery backups in the future which is a shame because i did like the software it provided for my PC to see the information and control the settings for it.

Perfect for small businesses and offices. Keep are phones up for a few hours.

The UPS seems to have good life in the event of power outage. Display shows 45 minutes of run time on approximately 400 watts powered through it.

Highly recommended. I have my network router and computer monitor plugged into it.

Easy setup and replacement of old unit supporting personal workstation.

Great product so far. Served its purpose during storms.

Very good quality Sales person was very helpful thank you

Good unit easy to understand and maintain just wish all 10 outlets were on battery back up instead of just six.

Great for its price. Worked great during a power outage.

Saved me a few times in the last year during power failures.

Have this in my office for computer, monitor and phone system. Works great

My PC plays an important role in my life. I am either working or playing on it. And PCs have become more and more expensive. If I have to replace my graphic card it can easily cost over 1,000 dollars. Computer memory is at an all time high price today at the end of 2025. The computer industry is growing AI technology and expanding everywhere it can. Tariffs are on and off and it's impossible to know where prices are headed or what shortages might happen next. Here in Southeast Texas the power grid has become more unreliable over the last few years. It has now become common to lose power during storms. I recently updated my gaming graphic card. My current UPS was unable to provide the power to run it while gaming and I was crashing to the desktop. I reduced the load and ran just the computer from a separate wall outlet and it became stable again. Getting a good UPS backup has always been a good idea but now it takes on a greater importance. The APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA is able to provide the power to run my gaming computer. It has a great build quality and replacement batteries are relatively easy to get. The display is easy to read and provides several pages of information regarding the quality of the incoming electrical signal and battery status. It includes both type A and C USB charging ports. There are six battery backup outlets and four surge only outlets. Other surge protection includes network and coax connections. The unit has a wiring fault protection indicator and does Automatic Voltage Regulation of the incoming signal. There is a $250,000 lifetime connected equipment protection policy and free technical support. The APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA also comes with a 3-year warranty. The PowerChute software you can download is quite comprehensive. It runs in a browser window and required me to setup a local account and password. Also you can find several How-to Videos online that can be helpful. I didn’t see the need to change any of the default settings. Some of the options are details on the UPS status, configurations for logging and email notifications, shutdown settings, energy management and event logging. The APC box lists up to 150 minutes of runtime. I would assume that is a max runtime since every system and what is connected will be unique. At my desktop the UPS reports 29 minutes of backup runtime. At full load while gaming and that time is reduced to 9 minutes of runtime. My system has a 13th Gen Intel i7 with a Nvidia 5080 graphic card. Setup of the UPS was easy and you have to access the battery to connect it before use. Overall this has been a pleasant update and I have already saved my progress in a Borderlands 4 boss battle that I thought would never end when the power flashed off and on. I do recommend work from home and gamers have a UPS backup system like the APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA. It's a small cost for the protection it provides and APC is a leader in the products they provide.
