    I've used APC Back-UPS systems for over 10 years are always find them reliable with excellent long term performance. I use several of them to protect my network and various computers and external raid drives and highly recommend this product. There are multiple display menus which provide a lot of information about the load and performance of the unit.

    I had previously purchased 2 APC BackUPS 1500 Pro units from Best Buy a long time ago. A power supply surge zapped the computer and one of the UPS units. So, I decided to order 2 new ones, and have them hooked up. I have used UPS units from APC for nearly 30 years, and except for this last incident, I've never had a problem with UPS units from APC.

    APC The BN 1500VA has been operating as expected including about 4 utility power outages, for 2 years. APC has been my decades long choice of UPSs..

    This was easy to set up just plug in the battery and then plug in the device and whatever you want powered. There's a red light i the back warnig that the outlet i have it in isn't grounded which isn't good for me but the device has taken over in outages and when the electricity fluctuates in my area so I'm really happy that it's protecting my most expensive deevices!

    Silent, no noise. The battery can be easily replaced without screws. Its like APC designed this to be repairable. I replaced my two year old Trip lite with this. Trip lite made a buzzing noise all the time, dont buy it.

    This is to APC's as Rolls Royce is to vehicles. Built to the highest quality standards and works gloriously well. It provides you with all the information regarding the various status of the inputs and it's power available and more. Glad I spent a little more for a much better protection device.

    Had an older APC - Back-UPS 1500VA,that I had for several years, that started switching back and forth between the green light and the yellow light. I replaced the battery and the condition continued. I decided that there must be a problem with the internal electronics so I decided to replace the unit. Bought the newer model and have not have the problem since.

    Security! That’s how I would describe this item! It protects all my devices and keeps them powered in case of an outage and with the optional data cable it can power off my server safely if I lose power

    Rated relative to the price: the next step up on quality is 3-5 times as expensive so these are the ones we use. We have 6 of them: two computer systems, two for our network, and two TVs. Uses standard sized batteries which typically last about 3 years and aren't too hard to replace. They last a lot longer than the smaller ones.

    Great for protecting your equipment from power surges and some cool extra features; track how many voltage is coming from the wall outlet and prompts you a time on how long you have when the backup battery kicks in.

    Power in Santa Cruz is "dirty" and fluctuations can harm your electronics. The APC Battery Back-Up will protect your computer from power surges and it will properly shut down your computer in the event of a power outage. Definitely worth the money.

    The power regularly goes off at my home due to living in a rural area. I bought this APC to prevent my computer from shutting off and losing progress or risk damaging it. The power went out 2 days after I got it and I had plenty of time to save and shut down my pc. Worked like a charm!

    This is a must have battery backup, especially for those with a home office. I’ve experienced two power outages recently and this batter backup kept my modem and router running for hours so I could keep working. I will be ordering another soon for my other office equipment. Highly recommended!!!
