    If you are working from home and don’t want to lose your work during a power outage or even a power blip, this is a great investment for your internet, home alarm, workstation.

    I got this AFTER my Unraid server was fried from a power outage. I lost the PSU, mobo, and 3 of 6 disks! Luckily one of the disks that survived was the parity, so I was able to save all my data. Now I have the newly rebuilt server connected to this UPS, and Unraid even supports USB connectivity to this thing to monitor battery capacity. It will now gracefully shutdown in the event of a power outage and the battery drops below a set threshold. Piece of mind!

    Excellent so far, No major events or surges since purchase. Enjoy the on screen monitoring options. 1500VA is more than enough for the load it runs daily.

    This power backup has given me an extra sense of security because I know even if my power goes out the items plugged into it will continue to secure my home.

    This is the second APC 1500VA unit I have purchased. With the power outages we experience, this UPS is critical to back-up and provide surge protection to safe guard my IT equipment.

    Used to buy APC products a couple decades ago. I then switched over to CyberPower units and was very pleased with them. When my CyberPower 1500VA unit started to become a little noisy, decided to replace it. Could not find another 1500VA in stock, so decided to go back to APC. So far, like pretty much everything about this APC 1500. Seems to work fine ... but the actual test will be when I actually NEED it! That hasn't happened yet. The ONLY thing I dislike about this APC (vs my older CyberPower) is the self-test, which occurs every 2 weeks. This is not configurable. Would have given the product 5-stars if it were. I doubt if these self-tests will have any effect on unit or battery life ... but would like to be able to configure when I want the tests to occur, based on what I am doing.

    This unit has so many greta features and supports my PC and large monitor easily. I like having a USB and USB-C port on the front to charge devices easily as well.

    Easy to install. A must if one lives in certain regions of this country where electricity can be an issue due to a sub-par electric utility such as in Northern California.

    Needed something for summer brownouts and power loss. It works as advertised. It was easy to set up and has more than enough plugs. It's very quiet and you don't even know it's on.

    Its worth having a backup battery for when you are doing anything on your PC. You won't lose any progress and has a surge protector, so, you won't fry any of your devices.

    Been using APC for close to 30 years. Nice for my purposes. I see some people have a killer setup and think you can just keep going but really only expect a few minutes. Best to use parachute and set for a 5 minute shut down. I use another one to keep my cable modem and home phone running in an outage and that runs for about 3.5 hours so far proven.

    This product is excellent and I was able to purchase this product at a good price from Best Buys. It is a good idea to have a means to keep your power source running continually
