Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to set up. A nice improvement in unit appearance and screen display from my prior model. Bought this one to replace an older model that had a component failure (not the battery pack). Lots of outlets for plugging things in. Like the prior model, this one does its core job, kicking in when there are over- or under-voltage conditions from my home's electrical power. I am always extremely glad to have a unit like this when storms or other issues cause rapid on/off flickering of the power, which is horrible for unprotected electronics. Expensive, but IMO worth it. I consider APC the best of class for this kind of thing in the home.

Provides an estimate of runtime available on battery based on amount of current being drawn. When the battery runtime drops, a safe automated shutdown is provided by the PowerChute software. Perfect solution to protect against surges, brownouts, and power outages.

Did you know that almost 10% of humans are old? That means that having a power button that is difficult to press (due to being low to the ground or recessed) means that when this thing starts beeping because the battery is depleted it’s unnecessarily difficult for my customers to press that power button. some of them use a cane for walking and they can’t easily press the power button with their cane because it’s slightly recessed. Having an easy-to-press power button at the top of the unit is an ideal configuration.

APC battery backups are the best. I use this brand to protect all my equipment without fail for almost 20 years. The LCD display is worth the extra few dollars for this product and is a nice addition for when your computer is off without Powerchute running.

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I bought this APC battery backup to protect my desktop computer, modem, and router at home, and it’s been solid so far. Setup was straightforward, the display is clear and easy to understand, and it gives peace of mind during brief power flickers and outages. I haven’t had any issues, and it feels well built and reliable. It’s a battery backup — it works as intended. Very happy with the purchase.

It's only been connected for about a week but so far it's working well. We have random power outages over the summer, so this is much needed. Very easy to set up. I love all of the extra outlets and especially the outlets for oversized plugs. I like the power indicator, so I know it's always on. My last UBS had shut itself off and I didn't know. Computer crashed (screwing up my main drive when the power suddenly dropped). I still need to try the Powerchute software features next.

Pretty stable unit... only issue I have is it once in awhile starts beeping with no power interruption which requires the device get turned off then on again. Does the job, though!

I have had a few of these tower UPS units over the past decade or so. The only problem I ever had was a power relay on the UPS that this UPS replaced. After about 10 years, that's ok. And that UPS still works, just complains once and a while. There are plenty of outlets, good power display, and I expect to get good life from the battery. So I continue to be happy with APC

Plenty of power through put for my gaming PC and Monitors without any issues. Battery last long enough for me to save what I am playing and shut my PC down!

Ive had it for almost a month now, it works perfectly. Its kicked on properly every time. I use it to run my conputer and monitors. Even at max load it can handle it. My computer can pull up to 1000W at max load and it can handle it just fine.

The packing was fine. Unpacking and setting up was easy. The directions were easy to follow, and the UPS works as expected. I like the controls and it appears to be well built. My power went out the 2nd day I had the UPS. With a full battery charge it supplied power for about one hour to run my router, cable modem, telephone modem, 27" monitor, and Vtech telephone. It was also interesting to find out that the UPS automatically kicks in whenever I start my laser printer by sending it a print job. Probably because the inrush current to the printer is large enough to affect the voltage of the line that the UPS is connected to. I would buy this product again.

I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the APC Back-UPS 1500VA. In a world increasingly dependent on consistent power supply for devices and systems, this unit is an absolute game-changer. Firstly, the 1500VA capacity provides an abundance of backup power, efficiently sustaining my home office during several power outages. The built-in surge protection has proven invaluable, shielding my expensive electronics from unpredictable voltage spikes. The unit's seamless integration with my systems is noteworthy. I am particularly impressed with the PowerChute software that provides automated, unattended shutdown, ensuring data preservation and system integrity during extended power outages. Furthermore, the design of the Back-UPS 1500VA is appealingly compact, fitting conveniently under my desk. It has a user-friendly interface with an easily readable display that shows important stats such as remaining battery life and load capacity. What sets this UPS apart is its ecological efficiency - the Green mode reduces power consumption by bypassing unused electrical components, aligning with my values of energy conservation. Finally, I must commend APC's excellent customer service, which has been responsive and helpful whenever I had questions. The 3-year warranty and $200,000 connected equipment policy offer an extra layer of reassurance in my investment. In conclusion, the APC Back-UPS 1500VA delivers on its promise of reliability and performance, providing an exceptional level of power backup security and peace of mind. Highly recommended for anyone needing a high-capacity, high-performance UPS. It is indeed a 5/5 star product.

Solid design and functions as it should. Is a great item to have if you work from home.

This unit will provide me approximately 97 minutes of back up for my security cameras and network equipment

Great product overall. Has no problem supporting and protecting my computer set up. I run everything through it, including my home wifi. It is quiet, good spacing for outlets, and includes USB outlets on the front so you do not have to use a charging brick. Setup was quick. Slim design allows me to tuck it behind my desk and out of the way.

I was very pleased with the ease of setup and the features of the included Power Chute software. It was purchased for the purpose of saving work in progress and allowing a graceful shutdown in the event of power loss. After getting it set up and connected, I realized that it would provide the added benefit of keeping our router on line and providing charging ability for cell phones in the event of any outage that was less than about seven or eight hours. So that added functionality is an unexpected benefit. As of yet, I have not experienced a power outage so final judgment on its value will have to wait until I see how it responds to an outage.

Best decision ever. We have power glitches. It would flicker just enough to have the router and DVR power on/off. Every time it would take a few Minutes for it to come back on. Not anymore. We lose power and tv stays on, router and DVR stay on. If we have a long power outage it give me enough time to get the generator going.

This unit is easy to install and operate. The display is very readable and supplies good information. The display and sound can be turned on and off. The USB ports in front are a good feature. This unit is being used as backup for a broadband router. Performed well in a power outage a week ago. Customer

I bought it since my area has common power outage. The backup generator has been cool to use with it features. It main connections is my pc and I could see how much wattage it uses and how many minutes I have before it completely shuts off

Very good UPS for protecting my TV and sound system. Don't use it to run them long. Just to allow an orderly shutdown while protecting against brownouts, spikes and power outages. Lasts at least 3 years. Cheap protection.
