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.

Monitoring Software needs to be updated!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit seems to work. However the software for the unit is way outdated and everytime you try to do a self check it causes the battery to go into a failed state. You need reset the unit by powering down everything connected. Disconnect everything and disconnect the unit from the wall power. Remove the battery and then hold the power button in for 30 sec. Then put the battery back in, Then you can plug the unit back in and it will do a self check on power up and the battery will be fine. I contacted support and they only wanted to send me a new unit which I might have to do. Not sure if APC is what is used to be!

Fortunately I am not a first time user or buyer.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product itself is great and does its job quite well, but it can be confusing from the start. Installing the battery can confuse the first time user as can the settings found in the LCD. Also there is no longer a disc included to install the software. It is now available on line. Further, the model I wanted andf found on the Best Buy website was no longer available and I had to purchase an upgraded (more $$$) model. Best Buy needs to keep its website up to date. Otherwise I am satisfied with the unit and it has already come to the rescue in my office.

Great Battery Backup for Office Equipment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this up so I could keep my network running during power outages. I was able to test it out about 2 weeks after purchasing when we lost power for a half hour. This kept a WAP, 24 port gig switch and cable modem running during the outage. The addition of the surge protector outlets (clearly marked not on the battery backup) is helpful for throwing some additional items behind protection.

Solid UPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like a reliable UPS with decent run time for intermittent power interruptions that provides some feedback on load and runtime off line. This unit fits the bill. I also like the fact the batteries can be replaced in the unit once they reach the end of their useful life, allowing the primary investment to last for a very long time by simply replacing the batteries. .

Good battery life and digital display
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery power and number of outlets met my needs. This device supports my computing equipment and accessories. The digital display makes it very convenient to know if you're reaching the peak levels of the device, and when there's a power outage, it is very simple to know how much battery you have left to ensure that items are powered down in time.
