    I have two of these and they perform as expected. Highly recommend this item as they protect your valuables. The older one of the 2 has had a direct surge and all was protected from damage.

    The APC 1500 BN1500M2 UPS has enough power for my fully loaded gaming PC with multiple video cards, overclocked CPU & RAM, multiple SSD, sound card, external DAC & amp, and multiple monitors. The new style display is outstanding compared to my old APC XPS 1300 UPS. The display is bright and large. Unfortunately there is one issue with the display. When the display is on, there is a faint but ever present high pitched whine. The high pitched whine is faint enough that you may tell yourself it is okay, but there are days where I wish I returned the unit. The high pitched whine is not present when the display is turned off. However as mentioned above in my review I do like the display turned on when using the unit. Overall I love the unit due to the stability of the voltage output, surge protection, and battery back-up, but I find the faint high pitched whine that is present when the display is turned on to be annoying and hard to live with.

    We didn't need something that provided hours and hours of backup and this unit was just what we were looking for. Services the modem and VPN perfectly. And I especially liked the size, as it needed to be fit into a smaller cabinet. Power went out and this unit never missed a beat.

    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.

    This model replaced a smaller APC unit easy setup and quite reliable. Power recently went off for about 15 min. Backup kicked in never lost internet and reported outage online and shut down computer to save data. The unit replaced was a smaller unit which will be used elsewhere once I order a replacement battery.

    Easy to use. Once in position you just plug in your devices and put the unit into the wall outlet. When the power goes out your devices stay on.

    I trust a PC brand battery back up units above all others. Very easy to set up. The battery connectors inside were simple to connect. The LCD screen was clear and legible. It was obvious how to change display modes. I would buy this again without hesitation.

    APC, IMHO, the best way to go when needing a UPS. This one replaced my old one which, at six years old, was having a hard time handling things. This one is easy to set up and handles everything connected well with room to spare.

    This is exactly what I needed. I originally went with a smaller unit (APC 1050VA 600W) but it was just two small for my application, which is a large I9-1200K/4080 Graphics desktop, one 65" monitor, two 32" monitors and several other peripherals. This new one is 900W and is much better suited. Love the display as well. Packaging was great and setup is super easy. This is our 4th UPS; all of which are still running after years of service. I actually kept the 600W and repurposed it for another application.

    Plugged everything in and easily installed the software. Had a couple of power glitches during storms. The software let me know when the power went out and when it came back. Otherwise, the computer didn't know the difference.

    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 the second APC that I have purchased. Each one performs as it should. Recently my electric went off for about twenty minutes this unit kept my computer my printer and modem on the entire time. Very happy with my purchase.
