    This item is a little expensive but it is great if you have a lot of devices in your home. The brand name speaks for itself. It was really easy to set up and work with.

    Solid UPS for a gaming computer

    This UPS was upgraded from a 750VA UPS after I upgraded my video card on my PC to an RTX 3080. The old one would start beeping when I started playing games because of the extra power draw. This one is a great a replacement I am a big fan of APC even though they cost more than competitors, but for good reason as they seem to work better. Really enjoy the display of information and I use the front ports to charge my devices. Also, takes up less room under my desk as its more vertical than flat.

    I use it as a power backup and insurance policy for my Unraid server. Unraid natively interfaces with it via USB to know when to perform a soft shut down. Good stuff.

    I love the APC backup units! Battery can be replaced when it's needed. Good monitoring software for PCs ONLY and enough power ports. You even have a USB port on the front with an LED display with info.

    Simple, robust UPS

    Simple setup, you do have to remove the plastic barrier so internal lead acid battery can charge. I use it to protect my desktop computer, wireless router, cable modem, and digital TV from fluctuating power which has become more common at my home. It will run about two hours on battery (with TV off). Best feature is that the battery can be replaced when it gets weak instead of buying a whole new UPS.

    Best UPS

    I have used a lot of APC's leading competitor's UPS, but after two of them died premature deaths (their batteries died), I decided that I should try a different brand. I bought APC's UPS to give it a try and the first thing that you will notice is that their batteries come disconnected. The APC model is "cleaner" and the outlets seem easier to use (grippy without being too grippy). Even better, the APC UPS does not have one of those super bright lights that lights up a room even when the lights are off.

    Good - But There Is Room to Improve Functionality

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros Easy set up. Easy to use. Not a space hog. Cons Even though it has 5 outlets for battery back up, because you can't turn the outlets to accommodate space guzzling power plugs, in reality I can't get the functionality I was hoping for. I am unable to plug in my WI-fi router (Netgear), but got the COMCAST gateway, Dell CPU and 2 Samsung monitors. That was rather disappointing. I am sure others have this issue too. You would think folks would design these so that it can provide backup for ordinary home office set-ups with most well known manufacturer's equipment! TEST, APC people - TEST!!! Maybe the next generation of devices will solve this problem.

    Long lasting during power outage

    I have constant power outages and can't afford for my network to go down because of work. Recent power outage, this held up great. With router and modem only backed up, this lasted over 1.5 hours (until the power came back on) and still had another 30 minutes of power remaining. I had to unplug the TV and move that over to Surge only, because that thing (65 Inch LED) draws almost 300+ watts and would only last 15 to 20 minutes. I can watch TV on my tablet.

    Solid product protecting your equipment, must have for any person serious about their computers and servers at home. Will buy it again. A bit overpriced for my taste but I got it the same day I needed it otherwise I would get it online for less.

    First I give Best Buy 5 stars and I hope this expensive APC UPS lasts longer than the 450 and 650 UPSs. The smaller ones do not seem to last more than 2 - 3 years and they begin to conk out. In the old days they use to last for 5 years +. I do like the design of this Pro 1500 UPS and it seems to work very well. I've had it for 3 - 4 months and it does keep my PCs online with plenty of time to down them - without using APC software. I guess time will tell; I just hope it last longer than 2 or 3 years!!!

    This chunky tower of power knows how to get the job done when the power is out. A plus is the screen. It's a nice touch to look a the current status of the device. Would buy again.

    A name to trust in battery backup

    This is the largest capacity gps seen for sale on most consumer sites. It has one USB A port and one USB C port on the front. The UPS has a datacable included and software that will track your power usage and activations. If your power local power is over/under voltage or you have blackouts this unit is for you. A high end gaming pc gets more than enough time to safely shut down in an outtage. These still use lead acid batteries because apparently that's still probably the best battery technology for this purpose. Replacement batteries will run you around a hundred dollars depending on if you buy regular or deep cycle batteries from a company such as batteries plus. I've had quite a number of APC products over the years and all have been good units. My current unit had been serving me for 6+ years and my newer toys can use the USB C port capabilities so I just went ahead and replaced it with a new unit. I'll probably use the old one on another computer or just keep it to charge the phone and tablets if the power goes out. Fortunately the new house in NC doesn't have near the power outtages I had in Pinellas County, FL but I still believe in having a UPS even if all it does mostly is catch power brownouts and surges. If your PC runs 24/7 a UPS is a good investment to protect your expensive components and your sanity.

    Tye Pro 1500VA provides all the features I could ever want to protect my in-home LAN and requirements for stable uninterrupted service for multiple pieces of equipment. The combination of protected and unprotected outlets allowed me to eliminate multiple extension cords/outlets givinging be confidence, enhancing safety and eliminating visual cord/cable disorder. I was so impressed that I installed two 1500VA in my home office to support multiple computers and printers.
