Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Back-UPS Pro's long battery life, ease of use, and strong performance. Many appreciate the clear LCD screen and the ample number of outlets, along with the inclusion of USB Type-C and Type-A ports. However, some users noted the unit's weight and reported minor issues with the software and occasional noise. The warranty process also received mixed feedback.

    Power went out recently for approx two hours while away and it worked flawlessly. Utilizing it for home router and separate mesh wifi system to maintain uninterrupted home security. Exterior Nest cams already have built in battery backup. This setup enabled me to not lose any security coverage on my residence while I was away. Otherwise, I would have lost all coverage. Worked as expected for my application. Recommend.

    Needed this to replace an APC 750VA that could not keep up with 2 computers and 3 monitors. I really like the small, vertical footprint - takes up less floorspace. Works great, protects my electronics from power surges and brown/black outs. Very happy with this model UPS.

    I have been using APC Back-UPS's for more than a decade and have always been very satisfied. I recently bought two of the BN-1500 10-outlet models to support more electronic equipment in my house. I now have all my electronics connected to APC UPS's including computer, printer, DVD burner, computer speakers, game console, DVD player, ham radio equipment, TV's, modem/router, plus other musical and electronic equipment. We get a lot of quick power interruptions here in Florida and these UPC's have never failed me. They also keep the current at the optimum 120 volts. With 6 surge/battery backup outlets and 4 surge outlets in each unit, you have enough to connect all your electronics or non-electronic devices. I have always gotten more than 5 years battery life from all my APC UPS's and it's very easy to replace the battery if ever needed for another 5 plus years of usage.

    No issues at all. The UPS does the job. It is the “simulated” Sine Wave version, but none of my electronics care, as they are all converting that AC back into DC anyway. It does buzz a little bit when on battery backup, but it isn’t very loud and only when the power is out.

    This is top of the line. My previous unit got bar-b-qued in a power outage, so I checked Best Buy, then confirmed with my son-in-law who owns a business that deals with computers and electronics. He has an office FULL of these units and rates them the highest, so my choice was pretty easy. I've been quite happy with it.

    This equipment has already kicked in once for a short flicker in our electric grid and has worked for a few small spikes here in Florida. Plenty of protected outlets and easy to set up and use -- replaced a 10 year old battery backup wen crazy - and we use APC on larger scale in our offices - read the reviews and bought the unit - very happy

    This affordable UPS is made by one of the best in the business. Well worth the money. Plenty of battery ports and surge only. Very compact and zero noise. Perfect setup for home network, theatre, and gaming areas. Easy to use and plenty of available live data from the front screen which goes dark when not needed.

    This is the second back up from this APC I have purchased. The 1st one was 4 years ago (BN 1000) & still working great. When our elect goes out we are able to keep our wifi running for awhile. We would not really know about power surges but this backup beeps when it happens & it is frequent in our area. This has been a computer lifesaver. The APC backup is highly recommended.

    Keeps my Mac, printers and internet from turning off when power goes put. I had internet service for the entire 2-hours that the power was out, and it would have kept it running for another hour to 1-1/2 hours. (I did shut down the Mac, and used my phone. It would have run the Mac for about 1 hour had I left it on.). A bit pricey, but quality equipment.

    Does What It Is Supposed To Do

    Does exactly what it is supposed to, but doesn't look too bad for what it is. I suggest immediately turning on "mute" so that you don't get woken up like we did if your first power outage happens in the middle of the night. Kind of pricey if you don't get it on sale.

    I had to replace an older version of this UPS as it died after a decade of perfect service. The battery did not die but the front panel did. I forget when I bought the last one but it had to be over a decade ago.
