Customer Ratings & Reviews

Has been an excellent product since purchasing. Has enough battery to shut down tvs, game systems, computers, etc during unexpected power outage. Can also help keep internet/wifi for mobile devices running a bit longer as well once everything else is shutdown and/or unplugged.

This is the second APC Backup power supply that I have bought. I bought one about 5 years ago for my office (computer, voip phone, and router) and it still works great. I bought another brand (cheaper) for my living room (security camera system) that died about a year ago so I bought this second APC and both are still working great. You can hear the click and the display lights up when there is a power surge so I know it is working. During power failures, they have kept our internet service, VOIP phone, computer, and security camera running without any problem. This is a great backup to have even if you have a whole-home generator since that 10-second delay would still drop your internet without the backup power supply. It keeps your business uninterrupted whether it is a brief surge or power is out for a couple hours.

I wanted a system to provide protection to both systems running in the house. Power can be flaky in the area. This unit provides backup to two computers, 3 monitors and a few other items. It gives about 21 minutes of backup time at system standby. If your in the middle of a game or such backup time is lower. There is enough to shut down properly. Had a recent power glitch and it worked like a champ. The alarm was a bit startling. The download monitor program from APC is fairly easy. Just note that power down is the default on the program options

Regarding the APC - Back-UPS Pro 1500VA Battery Back-Up System: Let me start by stating upfront that our usage with this product is not normally associated with an APC product. We are using this as a battery backup for our on demand heating system. And works excellently. Most use this as a backup for a computer and /or the periphery associated with the same. But I will say that the power needs of our unit at Min/Max needs are met, and by calculation, will hold power for approximately 3-6 hours which is fine as historically our outages last about 1-2 hours or less. The APC company makes excellent products and we feel good about this one. Thank you Best Buy for having this product available! Cheers

Works great, keeps 3D printers running when power flickers or goes out!

I bought the 900 watt unit, probably bigger then i needed. But the price difference between all three wasn't that much. Set up was easy, be sure to download the power chute from the APC website. I made an unboxing and setting up video. It's on my YouTube Channel, check it out. Search on YouTube [ how to w/Paul Henderson]

I like the number of outlets and capabilities of this UPS. Simple set up, and works great. Got it on sale, so price was competitive. Nice form factor for the power supported.

For many years , I have been using APC products to protect my computer from power surges and power outage which are common here in the sunshine state of Florida during and after Thunderstorm and Hurricane season. This is a must have if you want to protect your investment. Batteries are replaceable but last 5 years or longer based on my personal experience. Would I recommend this product -without Question,Yes ! The Newer model provides you great details on watts and load levels in realtime.

Fantastic product that protects my computer from power surges and gives me time to shut everything down safely.

This power back up is so cool. I have a DS1522+ NAS hooked up to this APC power back-up. When the power is cut the Synology goes into action. In the Synology NAS they have an option to shut down the NAS and then send a signal to the APC to shut it self down. When power is restored, the APC turns its self on and then turns the NAS back on. Awesome stuff.

My preference is APC brand. I have used a ups for years and have tried other brands but prefer APC. This model has more connections than I need but size is perfect to protect my equipment.

Our radio station operates an FM translator which runs on 110 volt or 220, we choose the 110. When we upgraded from a smaller transmitter on an older APC unit, we wanted the same brand. The capacity of this one can handle the load of the new FM transmitter and some other minor rack equipment, and while it's loaded to above 90 percent, it is not complaining in any way, and the 3 minutes of approximate run-time at this load is more than enough time for our generator to fire-up if we lose grid power. APC's warranty is excellent, and they stood by it when we had one unit go bad,and promptly received a replacement. I have nothing but good things to say about the APC products and their service.

During a power outage (which I have already experienced) this UPS will power just my router for way more than 2 hours. Add my TV, and Nvidia Shield with external hard drive, it will go for about 55 minutes. A+ I am glad I purchased this device.

I purchased this unit after the "other brand" let me down and cost me a desktop and other devices when it failed. The many features this device offers is what drew me to it. The voltage fluctuation recording ability and software to manage settings and the ability for it to shut your pc down properly in the event of a power outage were the two biggest. I've paired it with a dedicated circuit for my pc and a whole home surge suppressor. It's a not too large which is a pro and con. If you have a lot of devices utilizing transformers, you won't be able to utilize every receptacle and will need a second surge suppressor strip. The coaxial and ethernet surge support provides complete protection. Very happy with this purchase so far.

Great UPS with an easily replaceable battery, I was happy to see. I’ve always had good luck with APC, they seem to be well built units. I’m now prepared for short power outages and providing protection for my computers and server, as well as constant power to the Fiber Optic modem.

Power has gone out twice due to storms and just high winds, and this kept my PS5 and PC safe from corruption and kept my power supplies from frying, 10/10 am satisfied with my purchase.

I have 6 of the APC 1500va units. I get between 5 and 8 years out of them. The last OLD die hard APC was 14 years old but that is rare that I get that much out of them. I change the batteries 3-4 years. I'll buy more

I wish there was a stronger power system but it is worth every single penny especially for stores, small businesses, etc! I have bought 2/3 in the past and it is unbelievable how long they last!

I have an older APC that I have used for years. This is a nice upgrade. Day 1, last night, lightening strike very close. Power blinked. I heard the unit click on. Seamless along with piece of mind to continue using it during the storm.

Great, efficient well priced, its solid to so it doesn’t feel like it might malfunction or break, which I like.
