    Avoid like the plague unless you love loud noises. This things #1 priority is to make loud beeping and screaming at the worst times and the mute button is the most fragile thing on the product. I've taken an ax to one and another is in the yard right now beeping away. avoid this company unless you like sirens.

      Thank you for taking the time to review our BN1500M2 UPS. The device's audible tone / alarm was made that way so it may caught the attention of users and address whatever the alarm is accordingly. You may always choose to have the UPS on mute, however, critical events like UPS error or Low battery condition would still be audible. Please contact us via chat: https://www.apc.com/us/en/tools/chat/ or phone 800-800-4272 if you need further assistance. APC

    UPS produces bad smells during battery operation

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Had this thing since Jan '22. Just had a power outage yesterday. While the system ran on backup power (just powering my internet router and mesh device) the unit produced some really bad smells during the ~2 hours it ran (like a burning/metallic/acid smell) that filled up my closed office room. I can't imagine that is normal since I've owned many other UPS and never experienced similar smells during operations. I wouldn't recommend this device, seems like a potential health/fire hazard. I'm replacing it with another brand.

    Still Haven't Fixed the Chirping

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This UPS gives off a low chirping sound every few seconds. I saw a response from APC claiming that it was a known issue and they had fixed it. My unit still has that. I contacted customer support, but got no help whatsoever. I was given a set of steps to do a self test. I realize that the CS reps have to follow a script, but if this is a known issue, do I really need to do these irrelevant steps? After doing the self test and getting a result saying everything is fine, the CS rep responded, "I am glad I have been able to resolve your issue ..." This issue has not been resolved and now I get no response from APC. I have many APC units now, but I can't see buying more.

In order to best serve you, we will ship you a new unit to replace yours that does not make chirping noise. Please contact [email protected] at your earliest convenience for further assistance. We can also gather additional feedback on the first team who helped you that we can share as part of continuing coaching and development. APC

    DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

    Undoubtedly the worst UPS purchase I have ever made! The unit failed twice in the first month, and of course it was after Best Buy’s very short return period. So I contacted APC. They told me to turn it off when I left the house. That’s utterly ridiculous advice for a UPS, the purpose of which is to keep power on. APC refused to honor the warranty until I threatened to write their corporate headquarters, and then they only agreed to send a battery. Never again will I purchase any APC/Schneider Electric products, and I will be very careful what I purchase from Best Buy.
