Customer Ratings & Reviews

My custom tower PC is the heart of my system, oversize high rez monitor, a couple of scanners, tethered DSLR from my DIY optical bench, etc. So right in the middle of backing up my 10TB RAID storage ~ over into the external {branded} backup 10TB RAID ~ the power into my house popped with an audible snap and went dead. Q.E.D. my decision could no longer be put off! This APC UPS represents the 'sweet spot' for my technology and my budget. It is exactly as advertised and perfectly suited. Not only did it pass all its internal tests and features, I did my shade tree mechanic test and just jerked the plug out of the wall. My system didn't even know about it! Just kept purring along sweetly and gave me generous time to do an organized apps quit, files saved, and normal shutdown. Now, this old buzzard can relax and not worry about the next tree to fall, lines shorted, and utility transformer a mile away blowing up like the Martians have attacked. I recommend it to anyone who wants to ease back and be tranquil.

This is a powerhouse unit for anyone running a high-wattage PC or a complex home office. With 900W of actual power capacity, it can handle a modern gaming PC and twin monitors with ease. However, because it uses a Simulated Sine Wave, enthusiasts with sensitive audio equipment or servers with sensitive Active PFC power supplies might prefer Pure Sine Wave version.

works as intended. IT connected it to our server with no issues.

I've used APC for my desktops for years now and have never had any problems with their functionality. The batteries last long, and their on screen display works perfectly. Would recommend for those who would like to hook up 1 or 2 desktops, or multiple other devices if you live in an unstable electrical area.

[Employee of bestbuy] Very great product from a great company. Has protected my PC many times

Its really easy to setup and see whats going on. Its saved my computer from surges during bad weather and given me time to shut down during a outage

If you, like me, live in an area where the electrical grid can be, let's say, a tad "iffy" in high winds or a thunderstorm of some intensity (you should see the fireworks I've witnessed from impromptu transformer explosions, above- *and* below-ground), and if you happen to have all sorts of expensive items plugged in (computers/peripherals, audio/video gear, Et Cetera), you might want to check out an Uninterruptible Power Supply (or UPS for short…has nothing to do with the folks in brown trucks delivering stuff like this to your door) such as this. It comes in especially handy when you're two-thirds through (a) your fourth draft of the manuscript of the novel that everyone will *hopefully* remember you by, (b) that YouTube video that everyone will *hopefully* remember you by, or (c) that heavily-photoshopped image that maybe more than a handful of people will remember you by (hopefully not for the wrong reasons). If you happen to lose power to the computer you're slinging all this wonderfulness out on, the UPS will kick in, keeping things powered-up just long enough for you to save your work at a given stage, close your apps, and shut everything down. For the money being asked for this thing, consider it cheap insurance. Recommended.

Easy setup. I've got it hooked up to my 34 inch monitor and HP desktop machine. Also, a router. It is displaying only 20% load. I tested it out by flipping the circuit breaker and it worked fine. Displays the approximate amount of time you have based on load when power is cut. The beeper is nice to have and can be easily shut off from the front.

If you live in an area with Brown-outs or Black-outs, or trees near powerlines, this is perfect. Completing your 300th playthrough of Skyrim, and you have neglected to save in 2 hours? The power goes out, the the LEDs on your ceiling go from their signature Purple to black. Your mom screams at you dad, "THE POWER IS OUT AGAIN!" Meanwhile, you are still playimg Skyrim, and remember you haven't saved. You save the game, you power off your PC, and you see you still have 17 minutes of charge left. You smile, knowing you saved yourself from replaying hours of work. All of this was possible due to your battery backup that your mom said was "A waste of money."

Reduced size from the previous version. Reliable and easy to set up.

Took over the load when the last one gave out. It was easy to configure.

I bought 2 of these for our 2 aquariums and last night our power went out for the first time in years. Both battery backups worked flawlessly keeping the filters, heaters and lights working in both aquariums during the one hour outage. The battery backup on the 39 gallon aquarium went down to 137 and on the 55 gallon went down to 70. I assume the difference was the 55 having 2 lights and a canister filter vs a standard filter and one light on the 39 gallon.

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I bought this APC battery backup to protect my desktop computer, modem, and router at home, and it’s been solid so far. Setup was straightforward, the display is clear and easy to understand, and it gives peace of mind during brief power flickers and outages. I haven’t had any issues, and it feels well built and reliable. It’s a battery backup — it works as intended. Very happy with the purchase.

Works as described. Fast delivery. Battery came fully charged. Have not had a power failure yet, so, no longevity test. It did work without hesitation when I pulled the power plug. My other APC units of the same size have lasted many years without fail. I expect the same from this unit.

This was the perfect solution for the power outages we have been having in our area. It gave top performance and peace of mind knowing my devices had an extra layer of protection.

Good amount of plugs. The front USB ports come in handy. It keeps my network equipment running for a good long time during an outage for my phone and laptop. I get a lot of brownouts and APC has never let my systems falter.

APC is a solid brand! Good Bang for Buck! Used on network switches in remote part of the building.

So far it's been solid and reliable. I've had a lot of brown-outs and 3 or 4 blackouts due to storms and this unit lets me safely finish what I'm working on and shut down my PC. I was a little put off that the batteries had to be connected before plugging it in, but after doing that it's been a great product.

Working GREAT just as expected. I am very happy with the item!!

Well worth the peace of mind that have a quality ups to protect my nas and other equipment. A quality and reliable product to add the peace of mind protection even during something as basic as an electrical surge.
