Customer Ratings & Reviews

Setting up a Backup UPS is very easily done with this model and gives peace of mind when you place your Modem and computer equipment on it to ensure both are protected from surges as well. Just connect the battery and you are ready to go after your devices are attached. It shows your outlet voltage and the duration of the power available. Place the warranty information with your date of service to remind you when you may need to replace the unit or the APC battery when it is needed in the future. I use APC because it is easy to service battery replacement as well.

This really came in good use and works amazing. I had a hurrican last year and this was the best invesment I had and all my electronices that was pluged in kept working.

Great product overall. Has no problem supporting and protecting my computer set up. I run everything through it, including my home wifi. It is quiet, good spacing for outlets, and includes USB outlets on the front so you do not have to use a charging brick. Setup was quick. Slim design allows me to tuck it behind my desk and out of the way.

I bought this UPS to replace an older, much larger and noisier one. I'm very happy with this purchase because the replacement was very simple and the equipment is well protected. I already had the opportunity to test it during a power outage. Good choice.

Easy set up, worked right first time, would purchase again, but hopefully won’t have to.

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.

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

APC UPS are effective safeguards operating sensitive electronic equipment when a whole house generator is not an option. The battery is also easily replaceable as battery life is limited (3 to 5 yrs) while the UPS unit lasts decades.

I love this UPS so much I bought a second one. It works exactly as advertised, easy to set up and it's been running great. It saved me several times as we tend to get brief power outages here fairly often. I use it to keep my router and primary computer up and running and the second one is attached to a very expensive long arm quilting machine that my wife uses. This is power in the middle of a session it can create serious problems.

I have 2 of these already, this is the third. The oldest is over 10 years old and has never had a problem. I pretty much run a whole network off of each: computer, TV, NAS drives, router, printer. Gives enough time to do a proper shutdown, and connects to the computer via USB so your computer can know to shutdown if you're not there.

It was a gift to someone so I can’t really say much about it but I mean they haven’t complained about it not working or had to return it so I assume it works fine

Does what it is supposed to. Needed a bigger battery backup for my gaming PC. This one has more than enough headroom to power my 6800xt, 12600k, and 2 monitors. Gives me plenty of time to power down in the event of an outage. The screen on the front is nice as you can cycle through displaying current wattage use, time remaining on battery power, etc...

Listen, it's a great device until it's not. I get about 6-12 months out of each battery, and then I start getting the dreaded red ring of death and a horrible, loud ringing sound that doesn't stop. It doesn't help that this can suddenly occur while you're away, and god knows how long the device has been ringing for the neighbors (who might think to call the police bc it sounds like an emergency alarm). I file a claim with APC, and I get a new battery for free. Rinse and repeat. I probably won't buy a replacement battery after the warranty ends and they stop covering them. I just feel like I consistently get low-functioning batteries that last less than a year, when they're expected to be 3-5, and then have a scare when it decides to malfunction and scream. I feel like I'm maybe just uniquely unlucky here, considering the general take that this is a great device, but I can only go through this so many times before I feel like a fool. I'll probably shop around more for the replacement brand.

I have used all sorts of models of APC UPSes and have yet to be let down by one. I have some APC UPSes that are going on 10 years old, and have no reason to believe that this unit will be any different. Compared to the old model, this UPS is smaller physically, and has a more readable display. I love the tilted display so that you can see it without bending over. This unit is powering a 27" iMac with 2 23" displays, a Thunderbolt 3 dock, several extenal HDDs, an Ethernet switch, and powered speakers, and it looks like I'll get around 30 minutes of runtime powering all of that. That's about 10 minutes longer than the unit that this one is replacing (which will now be serving network closet duty). I did not notice any clicking noises coming out of the unit unlike some of the other reviewers. I did however, notice a bit of a high pitched noise while the LCD is on. It is fairly quiet, and it doesn't really bother me much to be honest. You won't be able to hear it with most normal computer related tasks going on.

Easy to set up and started working immediately. Actually had a power outage a few days later and it worked perfecly.

It keeps up with my PC and monitors with plenty of time to shut down. Would never run a PC without it. The software works fine, but could maybe use a facelift? It gets the job done and I can just forget it's there.

works well on linux and gives my systems a long run time on battery

Pretty stable unit... only issue I have is it once in awhile starts beeping with no power interruption which requires the device get turned off then on again. Does the job, though!

Unit functions great.Bought two. The other one would not turn on after powering it off the very first time. Returned it, no questioned asked One I’m now using, decided to just let on all the time. No problems with that unit so far!!!

Purchased to provide protection and sufficient backup power to allow a controlled shut down (in case of AC power loss) for a new desktop PC. Have had prior versions of APC backups and have only needed to change the battery pack every few years. APC's upper grade models (such as this one) will signal when it detects the battery pack needs replacement.
