    My previous APC UPS stopped working after nearly 10 years. So, I purchased this one. I went to BestBuy, found it and bought it, and went home to move all my plugs from the old UPS to this one. 1/2 hour after I realized the old one stopped working, I had the new one up and running and it has not failed me since.

    I bought this item as my living space has frequent power surges and electrical issues. From what I read, it was the one that was that had the capacity to support many electronic items and it had a longer ability to keep things functioning. In the research I did, the APC brand was named best.

    I've had older models of this 1500VA Back-UPS Pro, but we needed another. This one has a few nice touches that the older ones lacked, including the USB charging ports on the front panel. I've been a customer of APC for 20 years, and I've never been disappointed in their products.

    I have purchased a number of APC battery backups from Best Buy. The brand is a good one that performs well (I have three in use now) and Best Buy is a convenient source when the need arises. This purchase was made even more convenient when I bought the unit on-line and was able to pick up and check out immediately as it was waiting on me when I got there.

    Get the 1500 if you have important meetings

    I bought two of these units for myself in the bedroom (now my pandemic office) and for my wife who works in the living room where her pandemic office is. As winter came we plugged in an electric space heater and tripped the breaker when we turned on the microwave in the kitchen... I'm a teacher, she's an administrator so we're both in very important meetings and can't afford to go down. This has saved us from ourselves (microwave) and the weather as the power has gone out in our neighborhood a couple times. I recommend the 1500 because after everything is plugged in it says there is only about 26 minutes of supplied power. That was long enough for me to maintain my Zoom connection with my students when the power went out the other day. My wife has the other 1500 model which is a little less expensive and we don't notice any difference. This one just looks a little cooler to me. Vanity - yeah - perhaps :) I was concerned about having enough power plugs on the back but realized later that a lot of the plugs were already connected to a surge protector - so, being in a hurry - I just took the 6 low voltage devices on the surge protector and quickly connected it to one of the battery-backed plugs. Done.

    UPS backup

    UPS works fine and is able to handle the load I tested to see what happens if power goes out and you get about 5 minutes of time on just the battery load so it gives time for you to shut down computer but only if you are home in case of power outage

    Awesome product, I bought it after losing a spreadsheet I was working on under a deadline that would not move. Since then power flickered and not a single issue with the computer or other items plugged into the backup.

    It works well for the most part, but the first time I had a power glitch (one of those little quick off and on's), it totally shut down. Had I been using my computer at the time, it could have caused a real problem. Rep said it was probably just a one-time occurrence. Time will tell.

    I had to purchase this UPS to replace one with an aging battery that failed the internal check multiple times. I could replace the battery only, but this is any easier option IMO. I get around 5 years before needing a new battery.

    I'm using this to power my PC (that draws about 650-700 watts), two monitors and charge my phone. Fairly easy to set up and gives you ease of mind because you know your expensive electronic devices will be safe in case of power outages.

    One layer of surge protection is never enough. I try to have at least 4 from the meter, to the sub panel to the wall to the UPS. I lose very few devices by sacrificing the surge blocks. This keeps the computer running during blinks and shuts it down after time runs out, before data is lost and files are corrupted. I am planning on buying another for another computer.

    The APC - Back-UPS Pro 1500VA with 10 Outlets and 2 USB Battery Back-Up and Surge Protector is a great system, and of course easy to setup, and most importantly is continuous and continuously working saving my servers. During power outage this system goes into action. Great system and highly recommend this.
