Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy setup, plenty of outlets. The PC Powerchute setup is key to protecting the PC. Sleak design makes it a pleasing unit to display rather than hide away

I recently upgraded to the APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA, and it’s easily one of the best UPS units I’ve owned. Setup was quick, the build feels solid, and the LCD screen makes it simple to monitor load, runtime, and battery health at a glance. With 10 outlets (six battery + four surge), it handles my full workstation, networking gear, and peripherals with room to spare. The addition of USB-C and USB-A ports is a nice touch for keeping devices charged without tying up outlets. Performance has been flawless—during a short outage it kicked in instantly and kept everything running smoothly. The unit is quiet, efficient, and gives me real peace of mind knowing my equipment is protected. If you need a dependable, feature-rich UPS for home or office, this model is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

The APC Back-UPS Pro Tower is heavy. There must be a sizable battery inside. Good. I like the features, especially the simple columns of outlets on the back. One side only supply surge protection, the other side supplies surge protection and battery backup. I have the PC and main monitor on the battery side and my second monitor and printer on the surge protection side. This allows for longer battery life if the power goes out. Easy setup, plug and play.

Easy setup. Has multiple port connections and battery/surge protection plugs.

Oh man this has save my computer a bunch of times. we lose power often and it keeps me running. We get a lot of power surges here and this thing cheches them all the time. it lets me know when it happens. it just keeps on working. I am glad i bought it.

During the great Texas Power Outages I learned two things. First my old APC-Back-Up was rated too low to handle all the up/down power issues we had. I bought this new unit after lots of research. I realized after installing it how clean the power is. We live near a substation and when a transformer blew a couple of weeks ago this APC-Back-UPS Pro performed like a champ. My PC and my network stayed up and running. I love that you can actually connect the unit via USB cable to a laptop or PC and use the Power Chute to monitor statistics on your surge events, power outages and the general condition of your home power. I will now relax when that thunderstorm comes through or a transformer blows. I know this unit works. I can't yet vouch for how long my stuff will stay up on battery but I have a lot plugged into this unit.

I really want to complain about something, but this APC is 10 of 10. Pretty quite "buzz" noise when it works from battery(it also beeps and u can mute it) Bought second one for my bro PC. 3+ years it works great, sometimes have power problems and it handles great no matter what I'm doing, gives plenty of time (30min +/-) depending on load/system what u have. Had coke spilled on it, it still worked for rest of 5 min before I turned it off with rest of PC, easy to clean... it took some time, tutorial videos on YouTube, maybe got lucky, year past incident and it just works no issues. Also you can setup Power consumption via HWinfo(Riva Tuner) while u playing games.

The performance is great , long lasting and more. The price is also good for that it is.

The best UPS I ever owned. The tower is more convenient and easier to store under desk or on top of desk -- whichever you wish.

Yea, I always buy this every 3 - 5 years. APC is on your side. We had these in our company and we have an Enterprise version too. Once thing nice about APC, you can call them up and there is someone on the other end ready to talk to you. Cyber power you get an empty desk and no answer what so ever. If you value your computer, laptop, PC, game station, etc, This is a must have. What did it do for me? I plugged in my PS5 to it while updating using a surge protector, and the power went out. There goes my PS 5 and I could not recover it. Later, I had to buy a new one. Wonderful, I added the APC and it happened again the PS 5 finished updating and there were no issues. I have a computer with 4 monitors, power went out for about 10 minutes, I was on battery. My computer and the network kept running. Mind you I bought 2 smaller 650va APC with battery backup that kept my network running. I was able to continue on playing for a while longer. Once I got down to 10 minutes left. I had to shut my computer down and again no issues. Also I had a surge and my APC took it. One time I accidentally didn't plug all my computer equipment to the apc and it fried the board. I was lucky enough to buy the graphic card and mother board and everything else was reusable and I was back in business. The next time the surge, or power drop happened, my computer did not have a single problem. The APC took care all of it. Yea, so it is a life saver. I replace the unit every 3 years but I rotate my equipment out. one of my old cyber power with battery stopped working. I have one on the computer getting old. So I bought a new one, use the new one on my computer, use the old APC 1500, and replaced the cyber-power one. The cyberpower one is slated for the electronic recycling dump. In the end, it is worth it if you are trying to save your expensive PC. If you lose the apc, is nothing compared to your PC and montiors. Lesson learned.

Works great only complaint was the instructions on which side to connect the battery cables inside the unit was not clear so I had to watch a Youtube Video. Also, the battery they used is quality.

Purchased this APC UPS for my wife's gaming PC. It's pretty easy to use and has decent runtime for it's price point. I recommend it for most builds.

Works great. Just as advertised. When power fails it switches to battery and keeps server up for about 40 minutes.

The APC Back-UPS Pro is reliable, kicks in instantly during outages or drops, and gives you plenty of runtime to save your work. The build is solid and compact…it blends in well with my hardware setup

This was a nice upgrade for me, and provides 60+ minutes of power for minimal devices (desktop, monitor, printer). It was easy to set up, and has a nice display on the front. We haven't lost power - nor have I unplugged it - so hopefully it will perform as expected.

Liking the product so far. Easy setup and had all the backup battery outlets I needed. This was to replace a very old backup system with a depleted battery.

I need something that could protected a system that is considerably more than your basic home PC. It is not only the desktop tower, but 3 large monitors, and a professional but small sound system of mixer, external processors, and a Focusrite 18i8. For that equipment, I need power conditioning as well as UPS support. This unit does the job nicely. It integrates well with Windows 10, as well. It's had several triggers in this rainy, stormy summer, and while most have only been a few seconds, once lasted I think close to 20 minutes. Since this UPS gives over 35 minutes of support, it still wasn't enough to trigger the automatic shutdown. I had chickened out and was going to shut down manually and just before I could, power came back. To get greater protection, you are going to have to invest in something that will be far more expensive and unless you're extremely high-end, will likely be significant overkill. Just be warned. 1500 Volt-Amperes means this thing is heavy. It clocks in at over 25 lbs, unboxed, so it's quite a bit heavier than those little unites that most people get. I've been completely happy with this purchase.

Excellent battery back up that does not take up too much space and has enough juice to make it through many blackouts. A lifesaver for my PS5.

This unit performs very well. It allows plenty of time to shut down our systems in a power outage. It keeps necessary medical equipment going for several hours, often until power is restored. We have three of them protecting systems in our house.

This is a great unit! One of the things I like best is the fact it has 10 outlets. 6 are Battery Backup and Surge, and 4 are Surge only. In addition 2 of the outlets are spaced apart enough to support power "bricks"/transformers. As far as runtime I have a Mac mini, Studio Display and chargers for my iPad and iPhone connected to it and with all plugged in at the same time it puts about a 6% load on the unit giving me between 97 and 100 minutes of runtime!
