Great buy for protection!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Made for Floridians. Lightning is all over and definitely need this to protect your electronics. This has the cable surge protection. I purchased after losing 2 tv's through our cable boxes.

APC Is Still The Best - Now with USB C!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I buy these regularly for work, dozens per year. The 1500 series is still worth replacing batteries once they wear down after 2-3 years of mild use. Heavy use in bad power environments gets you less battery life but that is to be expected. This is cheap insurance for your high dollar electronics - highly recommend!

APC protection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Always best to protect your electronics from surges, and here in Florida they are all too common. APC makes a great product. This one is for the TV and stereo and Blu-ray, no movie interruptions for those power blinks. Been buying APC for many years and they are consistently of exceptional quality.

A must have.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Protect your entertainment technology with the best of the best. The power is so faulty in south Louisiana between random thunderstorms and 100 year old power line poles theres always something causing a quick surge or brown out which over time will damage your electronics but this ups always kicks in and keeps your stuff safe.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this powering my whole home theater setup, which always trips the breaker when the window air conditioning unit kicks on. Saves me a lot of headache when gaming so I don’t lose my progress.

Constant, high-pitch whine
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit has a constant, high-pitched whine that never goes away even at full battery power, on or off battery, and only changes pitch slightly (but still audible) when the LCD screen is on. When unplugging the unit, the whine continues for a while, suggesting it's somehow related to the battery. For my use, it was under my desk and still very audible, so all the marketing materials showing it on top of a desk (which would presumably be closer to the user) and considering the overall high rating from many users, it makes me wonder if not all the units exhibit this whine (QC issue?) or if the frequency is not audible to everyone, or both. However, further reading and research shows plenty of other users have had this same issue, unfortunately. I have always, exclusively used APC UPS for the smaller units (900 VA and lower) and have been happy with the brand overall. This is the largest I've purchased, but I had to return it and go with a different brand. Just couldn't take the whining sound in general use, even with other white noise in the room. And didn't want to try a different one of the same model because of reading others' experiences with the whining. If it wasn't for the whining sound, this unit is good. The LCD is bright and the unit seemed to function well for the 48 hours I used it. Socket locations in the back are fine, plenty of cord length, easy access to battery, front panel access for USB connections. CONS: -High-pitch whining sound that never stops PROS: -Bright, functional LCD screen -Number of sockets -Easy battery access, user-replaceable -Front panel access for USB and USB-C -Cord length Despite having good experiences overall with APC and definitely recommending the brand in general, I cannot recommend this particular unit because of that one, very annoying flaw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from APCProductSupport
Posted .Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. I am sorry to hear that you ran into issues with our unit. Normally the unit shouldn't be that loud as it sounds yours was. You can have slight noises from the unit but it shouldn't be noticeable. At your convenience I recommend reaching out to an support team. We offer email and chat services through our support site.

Quality UPS that I’ll use with my Unraid server
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have both the Cyberpower and APC UPSs, and generally I find both comparable. However, for Unraid, APC is a bit better given the ability to connect it with a USB, set an automatic shutdown schedule, and see wattage draw.

It gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced an old UPS of a different brand, relatively easy setup, my only issue is disconnecting the positive battery connection, I felt like i was going to break the prong right off the machine trying to disconnect it. Might be easier if you don't have neuropathy though, and you can actually feel your finger tips.

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Can watch the gauge go up and down. Power went out one night recently and it screamed immediately until things were shut down. I think it helped protect from close lightning strike.

Mondo backup UPS - it works.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to get a bigger one when I rebuild my computer with one of the newer video cards - and the old one wouldn't handle the load. This thing is really heavy - and you do actually have to look at the instructions because it comes with the battery disconnected inside. But no complaints from it or my PC.
