Gets the job done!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

UPS/Battery Backup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great UPS for vulnerable electronics
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own several APC UPS boxes and this one is the best one yet. None of them have failed me yet, unlike my old one made byCyberPower, which this one replaces. I cannot say how good it will be long term, since I have only used it for a few weeks, but so far it is working as well as any of my other APC branded UPS. So I have high hopes that this one will be just as good.

Great backup UPS system.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great backup unit. Displays a count for the number of potential interruptions/spikes/etc. Virtually plug and play. I could have gone with a smaller unit because I've only hooked up my computer system (2 large screens, tower, printer) however, it's nice to have extra capacity should I need it. I bought this shortly after buying an entire new computer system and it has worked flawlessly to this point (haven't had long, but no problems). It's a mental boost for me because I'm not worried at all about losing equipment to a lightning/power surge. Well worth the money.

It’s not your brother but it is heavy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must like it since I have kept it. Only a couple small negatives with the instructions that made parts of the install some what confusing. Be nice to have a better overview and not use more then one word for things. Set up was quick and easy. It is heavy so think about that when selecting a place for it to be placed. It would be very helpful if the places to plug into it have a different color so when you are plugging on a new item you can see where to. The total blackout makes it a challenge. So yes if white was used to outline the place where the plug go. No issues yet other then registering the website I believe was all jacked up. I do like being able to see the voltage readout I like it well enough like I said that I’m keeping it.

APC is worth the extra spend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.APC is one of the top UPS vendors but this thing is awesome. Plenty of pdu, easy to read on device stats, and the software that can be installed on pc/server to give you real-time stats is awesome! Two physical servers, Router, POE switch, NAS. Powers out. I have almost 30 minutes to gracefully shut down. I’ll be skipping other vendors going forward!

Excellent Backup Power Supply
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent backup power supply. Bought it to backup my modem and router into in the event of a power outage. I haven't been put in a situation to actually need it yet, but according to the display, it'll last about 3 hours with both modem and router plugged in. I have tested it by unplugging it and it works just as advertised.

Tired of power outages
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After the third flash (off & back on) power outage of the afternoon, I'd had enough. I checked online and the APC - Back-UPS Pro had good ratings. A quick trip to Best Buy snagged me the last one in stock. I took it home and setup was a snap. I connected my TV, sound bar, cable box, and PlayStation to it. I've had a few flash outages since my purchase and everything has stayed on. I've been so pleased with my purchase that two days later I bought a second unit (from a different Best Buy) for our other TV.

It does what is should for my home lab
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup, nice number of plugs. Tested by pulling the plug and none of my homelab equipment had any issues. I don't use the more advanced features in my setup, so can't speak to those, but if you want a reliable battery back-up, APC continues to produce quality products.

Provides battery backup in power outages
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The area i'm living in is having alot of planned maintenance outages from SoCal Edison, so I invested in this UPS. I'm powering: A cable modem, an Asus WiFi router, two desktops and two monitor. At about 300W idle load the UPS shows I have approximately 30 mins of battery run time. This is perfect as it is enough time to shutdown the computers safely and still power my modem and router. I bought this mainly to keep my modem and router online. They both take an long time to re-establish a connection if power is lost. The only downside and why I gave this four stars instead of five is due to a slight annoyance when running on battery power: The UPS makes a slight humming/buzzing sound this is slightly audible in a quiet room. This only happens on battery power and isn't heard when AC power is present. I'm not sure if all units have this, but my unit had a QC receipt with all the tests it passed when it was assembled and tested.

Works well for above average power need.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this item because of increasingly unreliable electric service: brownouts, surges, short outages. I had already protected my cable and wireless modems and happy with that service. I wanted this to protect cable tv box, apple tv, and main 55inch tv. I realize it's not intended for long outages, but this is enough to handle short outages. I've already had one incident and the device worked well. Best Buy had a fair price, it was delivered to my home quickly, the device was easy to set up, and it is unobtrusive.

Great Run Time! Plenty of outlets
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Buy
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since buying this I’ve gone through 5-6 power outages/spikes in the last year alone smh. I live in a place where power goes out almost every time it rains heavy. So being able to maintain power and even internet for 4-5 hours with light usage & even charge all my devices phone’s laptops usb flashlights etc is AMAZING life saver. My devices are protected now cause I hate not knowing if my devices will still work correctly once the power returns I can just safely turn off like normal. Much much better than a regular power strip with a surge protector glad I spent the money this makes me want to buy a even more expensive one haha. Only thing I found odd is you have to open it up & connect the positive terminal which is strange to me the negative terminal is always connected. If you don’t do this your battery obviously won’t work you’ll just have a $200 power strip. You’ll see what I mean when you open it, so just like connecting the positive terminal on a car while having the negative connected it sparked at me & gave a loud pop. Kinda scared me but I guess that’s just how they designed it….been working great since. They should’ve had you connect the negative terminal i fee like, not a major deal it works so just don’t worry about it if it sparks/pops at you

One of the best consumer grade UPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great so far! Love the fact that this UPS has dual batteries and that the screen gives you important information like remaining runtime and load capacity (it also has a mute button!) Very easy to use and install the batteries as well, the only minor issue is their software, the old version looks very dated and the new one only runs in the browser.

Solid product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost 5 years later and still going strong. I have had a few power outages where this system has had to kick in and I was able to do the work needed to be done. Plenty of outlets for what I needed for it. Spacing is fairly well for oddly shaped plugs. Would buy again.

Excellent Uninterruptable Power Supply
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have UPS for all my computers, and have used APC over the years. Although power interruptions don't happen often, they are a pain when they do. This unit offers the protection that I want. It comes with PowerChute software which provides for an orderly shutdown of your equipment if you're not around when the power failure occurs. It's a good package that meets my needs.

Reliable Power Protection
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're someone who runs a home or office network, you know how frustrating power outages can be. But after experiencing over 18 quick outages in the past year, I can confidently say that my APC UPS has been a lifesaver. This UPS is incredibly easy to set up and use, and it provides an estimated back up time of 90 minutes, which is more than enough to keep my network running during short power outages. It has also saved my equipment from potential damage caused by power surges and spikes. But what impresses me most about this APC UPS is its reliability. Even during extended outages, it has kept my network up and running without any interruptions. And because it's designed to shut down my equipment in a safe and controlled manner, I don't have to worry about any data loss or corruption. Overall, I highly recommend this APC UPS to anyone who needs reliable and consistent power protection for their network. It's easy to use, provides ample back up time, and has saved my equipment from potential damage on numerous occasions.

Back up Battery
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to setup just be sure to plug battery in like the stickers say. Don't worry about a few beeps as the battery has to charge a little before warning beeps go off but that just takes a couple minutes.
