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.

    The power company has been upgrading power lines where I live. Have had more then my share of power disrupture for the past few months. This battery backup has with-held up all of these power outages awesomely.

    It does what it says, no kidding. I can attest that when I plugged all my computers and electronics in it, they turned right on! Not sure what the "U" and the" P" stand for, but the "C" must stand for cool!!!

    Everyone should have a battery back up or two or Three! I have 3 of these and a couple smaller Geek Squad brand UPS in the house. The APC units just seem to hold up better and last longer than any other UPS I've used.

    APC is one of the best Backups in my opinion, they seem to last longer and give me less issues than other brands. Got a good deal on this unit to replace one I have had for several years.

    I have experienced the cost savings of this product in the thousands of dollars on when the power goes out are is in or out for several hours. It kept all of our servers performing without a glitch.

    Does what a UPS should do, with one problem

    This UPS unit does everything a UPS should do, with one problem. The receptacle sockets are too close together if the items you are plugging into ot have the big "wall wart" plugs on them. Most computers and monitors have regular plugs that will fit fine. But most printers, modems, routers, etc., have the big, square plugs that take up to much space, so you cannot use all 10 receptacles, unless you get a 1 foot extension cord for each wall wart. Otherwise, pleased with the performance.

    These power backups are great! I had a smaller unit for many years with no problems. I upgraded to this model and it has been great. I do like the power filter so that I get clean power to my devices.

    It can protect all my equipment and the automatic shut down of main components when turning off the computer is a nice feature. Since I edit videos it is important that I can work in any weather or circumstances and not have to worry about not being able to save my work if I lose power.

    I have purchased this item for my home office and got additional ones for my entertainment center. I did have to replace the battery after 3 years on my first one. It went out with out warning but was a easy fix.

    I already have one of these. They perform well & the batteries are a breeze to change out. I have a monster computer with 3 monitors. These are a must have if you have frequent power "blips".

    It worked well out of the box and has functioned as expected during the one power outage I've experienced. It has a much longer life than the previous model with a lot of peripherals connected.

    The power at my house is not too clean and this product helped keep my networking equipment and TV from breaking. I had a router die on me and bought this APC unit and have not had any outages since. The management software is simple to use and I'm glad I bought this product.

    Bought these to replace my 6 year old battery backup that was still alive and kicking but the battery was starting to struggle staying charged. It was time for the much needed replacement. I find this model to be reliable unlike some other UPS brands out there.

    My area seems overly vulnerable to power outages during storms. This keeps my wifi, security cameras and playstation up and running so there is no reboot time. So far, it's worked perfectly.

    I bought this item from Best Buy because it was on sale and was a top performer for other items with similar specs. It was also cheaper at Best Buy than any of the other places I looked.

    I like the sleek design of this model. It works well with my Synology NAS (1815+) that I use and the system will shut it down before the battery is depleted. It would be nice if the battery would be able ti run a little longer, but overall I'm happy with this purchase.

    Got this one to replace an older unit that just quit working. This one happened to be on sale when I needed one, lucky me. I have always had good luck and trust the brand.

    We replaced a bad UPS with this unit. We run network switches, router, firewall and servers off this unit. We haven't had a hiccup since. Setup was easy and painless. Recommended!
