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.

    This was easy to install. We lost power and all stayed up and running without issues. Good Reputation for product. Our last one lasted for years

    Best UPS by far for the money. The first one I had lasted a good 4 years. Not sure at all what happened to it but I suspect it did it's job by taking the brunt of a lightning strike in order to protect my PC. Of course, I had to replace it with exactly the same thing. I also have one of these on my entertainment center so my HTPC, HDTV, xbox and stereo are protected and it's done a fantastic job. Highly recommend.

    Easy setup. More bells and whistles than I need or will even use. I was just looking for a battery backup for my internet during power outages.

    Life savers

    You need power when lights go out, extra time to close and save your things out even power down equipment safely. This is the device for you, I own several of these for my home entertainment devices and computer. They are life savers and increase longevity of your electronics. When the power goes out for whatever reason the back up battery FLAWLESSLY KICKS IN. You sometimes never knew it even out or is it unless you have beeping alarm on to tell you when your running off battery power. This is a must for almost 99.99% of electronics ask any rep!

    I've had many cheaper versions of a UPS. I've always preferred APC for my UPS needs. They've been at it a long time, and they look nicer than other cheaper units. I wanted something BIG to run multiple computers, monitors, routers, etc. The best part of this model is the vertical design, and the buttons on front. One hit will tell you status and run time. I had my power go out for a bit recently, and it popped on instantly, and never shut down. Is it the cheapest? Nope. But it's the best I've bought. Well done.

    This was a 'replacement' battery for my business' security system. The original (same exact one) lasted 6+ years. Hoping this one does the same!!

    Excellent product. Small but powerful. Has saved my computer a couple of times from power outages and brown outs. Louisiana storms! Features are great. Lets you monitor how much wattage you are pulling as you turn on each piece of equipment. It will display input and output voltage, percentage of power load you are using and how long your estimated run time will be during outage.

    Multiple days of thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rains, power surge and failures, this lifesaver UPS kept our 3 computers, 3 printers, cable modem, telephone, screens, in our studio running without a hitch, with illustrator and Photoshop in constant editing and saving mode. The only reason we actually noticed power failures is because it pops up a notification of energy saving mode, and when the lights go on and off, Will never do without it, especially with 7 external drives connected, running and plugged into the outlet.
