Customers are impressed with the Power Saving Back-UPS XS 1500's long battery life, strong performance, and ease of use. Many also appreciate its surge protection capabilities and the competitive price point. While some users noted the weight and occasional fan noise, the positive feedback on key features outweighs these minor drawbacks.

    Got the largest UPS available to handle the TV, game console, and Alexa device. Have lost power a couple of times but no hiccups or problems. Such good luck with these that I bought another.

    I could have selected a lesser quality and less expensive backup option but I am pleased that I followed my IT expert's advice and chose the APC 1500 model.

    I jumped at the opportunity to purchase this battery backup when it was discontinued. Overall, it's a pretty good product although your backup time may be affected by the age of the product. Newer battery backups have much larger capacities.

    At the time best buy had a sale on it so it was the best one for the money price per watt. They usually work flawlessly for 2-3 years till the battery gives out. Then you just have to find a cheap replacement on eBay. Lasts another 2-3 years and do it all over again.

    This is a great battery back up for anyone with a lot of equipment or someone who doesn't want their equipment to be hindered by a power outage, even running all of my equipment with the processors nearly maxed out on both of my machines it still said a battery life of nearly 20 minutes, which was at a load of over 300 watts

    Bought this unit to replace another APC1500 that finally failed after 12 years. The installation was simple and the unit was detected automatically by the server, no software was required.

    We have about a dozen of these around our building, and lots of cheap imitations. Whenever one of the imitations dies, we replace it with one like this. Fantastic unit!

    Same quality and performance you would expect from APC products. These all have a three year warranty which is just under what the batteries last. No problems with this or previous units.

    We used APC for critical power on servers and an AS/400 at work. Very reliable conditioned backup power. So when I decided to replace a personal, older UPS (different brand) that had been given to me, I went with APC. Easy to setup, good software, good screen showing voltage, also status of available power. Had for over a month, no problems.

    Good Battery Back-up

    My only criticism is that it threw my breaker a few times, but I just upped the power and all is good. Only reason I call it a criticism is because I had a previous APC plugged in the same spot and never had a problem. I don't know if the power rating on the new one is that much higher, or if it was for some reason grabbing some extra juice while it charged up. Either way simple fix, and has actually worked well when we had a quick brown out. Kept all my servers online until I could properly shut them down.

    I like this APC Battery Backup unit design more than the previous generation. This unit has labeled outlets for router and cable modem. Great for troubleshooting and convenience.

    My husband buys these for his business & he likes using them. He doesn't have any issues & he isn't worried about whether he will lose any info or production time during the day.

    Purchased this Back-Ups in August of 2016! 84 Events later and the battery was finally depleted. This APC has performed great throughout the years. I will replace the battery as soon as possible. The alarm went off this morning to let me know there was an error. I will be back in business as soon as I get another battery.

    I needed to replace an older UPS right away and this one had the right capacity for my needs. Also I like that it has more plugs for additional equipment if I ever need it.
