Customers are saying

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.

    I have it installed and protecting sensitive computer equipment. Works great and hopefully will never need to know EXACTLY how long it will keep it running without auxiliary power.

    I purchased this backup for my tv and Internet invade of a power outage. This is my 2nd purchase of one. I love them. I've never had any issues with either of them. I highly recommend APC products.

    I bought this APC UPS to provide power and filtering for my entertainment system (63 inch Plasma, Satellite DVR, Stereo Receiver, and Blu Ray Player). Often power loss occurs and there is a few seconds before generator power is activated. This item gives me several minutes, even with everything drawing. I didn’t want software management or anything like that, and the LED screen for monitoring the device is an added plus (that does give you A LOT of info). This item is great and has the power you need.

    The unit was purchased to protect my 60 inch 4k tv, will allow for some time running without power, but more used for surge protection. Nice to not have TV shut down with brownouts.

    Works as planned. Depends on how much you are drawing from it on the amount of time it will last. We use it for our network and don't use too much power so it works as described.

    This replaced an old APC (same model). The old unit lasted a very long time. I decided to buy a new unit rather than just replacing the battery since the new unit was on sale.

    APC makes battery changing a breeze with this innovative system for original battery installation and replacement. Also, the batteries now last for at least 4 years in these newer style units.

    Have purchased nearly a hundred APC UPS products over the years and have always been satisfied with their performance. You can by cheaper units by other manufacturers, but you always get what you pay for.

    Great replacements for heavier models, a nice UPS

    I have purchased over 8 of these ups' so far (during a 4 month period) from Best Buy as replacements to some heavier older APC models that all had battery failures. The new ups' have all worked fine and are easier to move around. When it comes time to replace the battery, that will be easier as well. The former models I had been using had two batteries taped together and were a bear to replace and get tape back together. This unit has one lighter weight battery. I am using these ups' for servers in our data center and some other servers at different business locations. These ups' would also be great for small office or home offices to connect pc or workstations to for power backup and surge protection.

    The unit with a good runtime. Nice display showing the runtime, input voltage numbers. It hooks up very nicely out of the box to make sure the computer shuts down cleanly when the battery runs out

    Purchased this for battery back up and surge protection for my office server. Surge suppressor seems to be effective but has not prevented power loss to server reliably. Will be asking manufacturer to replace the battery even though the device was manufactured less than 6 months ago.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I would recommend this to anyone that has a DVR!! If your tired of having to wait on your system to restart and load everything from say DirecTV then this would work for those times your power flickers.... My power will go out sometimes and stay out for about an hour with bad weather... But I can continue to watch tv. I have a TV, Bose System and now AT&T U-Verse hooked up... and it will stay on for about an hour with a 40" TV. I have a backup just for my Internet gateway and router with VOIP phone system and it will operate for about 4+ hours. My 3rd backup is just on my security cameras and they will run for several hours too.
