    Not my first APC product

    This one replaces the one I bought back in approximately 2010. I got a battery failure error during our last power blip, and so I figured it was time for a new one. These devices also provide a conditioned source of power, eliminating the risks of voltage fluctuations (especially now that I live in Las Vegas) and keeping my computers safe. I also bought one for my 3D printers which claim to tolerate power outages, but if you’ve ever tested that theory you’d see that sometimes you get print failures, or at least a very visible “print line,” when the power comes back and they try to resume printing. I can’t recommend a better UPS brand, and in particular this 1550VA model, for most any residential equipment power and protection needs.

    I purchased this APC—Back-UPS Pro BN 1500VA, 10 Outlets, 2 USB Charging Ports, AVR, LCD Interface—Black last year to protect the computer equipment in my office. The display showing the line voltage is a plus. One day, the voltage shown was too high, and I suspected a problem with the power factor, which meant the whole neighborhood was being charged for power not received. I contacted Duke Energy, which fixed the problem.

    I have used APC Backups for several years and found them to be easy to set up and reliable to operate. That is why when it was time to upgrade my current backup system, I selected the Back-UPS Pro 1500 for my home system/

    This has given me so much peace of mind after investing so much money into a gaming PC setup. We've had several power outages in my city and my electronics have been unaffected due to this backup battery.

    This is my second APC UPS, highly recommended. We have very short power interruptions sometimes, so this solved our issues with our home internet setup and some other electronics. Performs great, and has a bunch of outlets on the back (both surge and surge+battery).

    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.

    So basically everything related to my computer is connected to this battery. The LCD is very convenient as it tells you how much battery is left depending on the amount of electronics connected. I even have my modem connected which it has been a life saver at the moments I have lost electricity.

    Bought this to replace similar capacity Cyberpower UPS that has somehow failed after only a few years. This unit works as expected and provides a few more power outlets. I really like the spaced outlets for larger "brick" power plugs without having to use short pigtail extension cords. So far, so good.

    Great option for a home office or gaming setup. I have 2 of these right now and they work great. They both flip to battery very quickly and have never failed to continue to provide power to anything plugged into it. Lots of power outlets and extremely easy to setup and use.
