    • I replaced a failing APC UPS which was about 12 years old
    • Needed to replace my old, failing UPS and this fit the bill perfectly
    • best UPS on the market, may not be the cheapest but has great features, software and support...unit has been in service for three years and still working great!
    • The fan is loud, but it off as long as the UPS has outlet power--in normal operation the UPS is virtually silent, barely an audible hum and that is definitely drowned out by my computer's power supply fan (which isn't loud, but much more than the UPS)
    • So not only does APC not support Apple with their software, but now, per their own statement, they don't support Apple products with anything but their most expensive SMART UPS line

    • I was overjoyed to find a auxiliary battery for a modest capacity UPS by a reputable manufacturer.
    • This UPS is also much more efficient than the older ones that I have
    • It's good because it's a good UPS, bad because the replacement battery cost almost as much as the new unit.
    • If you need 1000 Watts then it looks like you will have to go with CyberPower PR1500LCD Smart App Sinewave UPS 1500VA

    • It powers my equipment during power flickers and gives me a chance to gracefully shut stuff down during a power interruption.edit 5/27/2018 -- After just over 2 months the UPS quit working.
    • This feature is a big improvement if you are using the UPS to protect electronic equipment that does not include a computer to shut down the system

    • This UPS was extremely easy to hook up.
    • This is an awesome UPS!
    • I would recommend this and other Back-Ups offerings to all my friends/co-workers.
    • An excellent UPS, especially at the DoD lower price
    • So I have a non-usable UPS, that was essentially DOA, and no return mechanism in place to address the issue
    • The NAS specifically supports this UPS for auto-shutdown support
    • Also, it is not a pure sin wave UPS, but seeing as I just came from the Cyberpower UPS, that just blew up my previous 1000 watt Rosewill power supply, there was no alternative
    • They should produce a less expensive pure sine wave UPS for home use
    • Very good UPS
    • so I decided to contact APC customer service directly to let them know that I received a defective-chirping UPS, and they took care of me 100

    • If you need a reliable and stable UPS appliance, I highly recommend this one.
    • It's good because it's a good UPS, bad because the replacement battery cost almost as much as the new unit.
    • DO NOT use the included coax cable :/UPS works great
    • The UPS tracks the number of power events independent of the devices attached and you can see the voltage in and out of the unit as well as the load the devices are putting on the unit
    • I have owned this UPS since 2012 and love it.
    • I do not know if it is truly a battery issue or if the UPS is defective.

    • APC is still the best UPS on the market.
    • If there is no way around it, i might have to return this otherwise well-made UPS...
    • They cost half of what the smart UPS batteries did and last years more.
    • They then tried to get me to pay shipping to return the defective unit, which is ridiculous, but later sent a free UPS return label when I pointed out how unfair that was

    • This UPS has more features and is working as expected.

    • This UPS is quiet and reliable
    • Having this UPS gives me peace of mind that my wifi and home security system will remain online when there is power interruption.
    • You can then program your PC to automatically shut down safely when the UPS is drained to a specified level
    • I love this UPS
    • APC made it SUPER easy, and I was able to keep my perfectly-working (although annoyingly-squeaking-defective) UPS running until my new replacement UPS arrived
    • As always APC brings really good quality UPS
    • The only way to stop it from running is to turn off the UPS completely (which defeats the purpose of having a UPS).I have the BX and stand alone BR each running a 3D printer and lights and accessories.

    • The UPS is head and shoulders better than the older APC units
    • To go larger you have to go to the Smart-UPS line which are way more expensive than the Back-UPS line and provide features I just don't
    • Excellent UPS, cheap investment for your PC.
    • The UPS fails every now and then and start beeping loud
    • The lack of non windows smart UPS software doesn't bother me, as I was able to utilize an open source program apcupsd to grep any data I need at home, thus rendering the need for APC's proprietary software
    • Voltage regulation as well as UPS functions sorely needed in rural AZ
    • Nice little UPS with great features.
    • A totally trouble free UPS that has been a constant protector for my computer equipment and a few other items
    • While this particular "noise" coming from the defective UPS that I received isn't part of the quality-assurance process, the unit I received was still nonetheless safe to use and worked great until I got my replacement unit from APC
    • This UPS was easy and intuitive to install the equipment and the software on my Mac.

    • Great UPS for medium powered system that doesn't need pure sine wave, especially with the optional extended battery that sits along side it
    • I do not experience these issues with my APC Smart-UPS (which is also much quieter!)-If the power does go out and you'd like to complete your current task, you'll probably be annoyed by the fan that kicks on when it switches to battery power
    • I will say that choosing a good and reliable UPS was incredibly important to me, as I’ve been having some risky behavior from transients by my house lately, and I needed to ensure that if there is a break-in or power-outage, that I have a good chance of keeping my internet and security gear up and running in-case of emergency for as long as possible
    • Most expensive UPS ever
    • All in all this seems to be a quite nice sine-wave UPS and is certainly a much more cost-effective and nicer device than those available only a few years ago.
    • Nice UPS
    • Solid UPS
    • The run time isn't very long but the UPS was satisfactory for me in providing continuous power to protect my computer
    • Other than that, the UPS is pretty silent
    • The fan is loud, but it off as long as the UPS has outlet power--in normal operation the UPS is virtually silent, barely an audible hum and that is definitely drowned out by my computer's power supply fan (which isn't loud, but much more than the UPS)
    • My Synology NAS has no issues 'seeing' the UPS.
    • outstanding UPS had 10 outlets 5 and 5 with a master I need to know more about take a load and holds it
    • UPS's are great for protecting computers and cable/satellite equipment from brief and intermittent power interruptions.
    • I have been a loyal APC UPS customer for over 20 years.
    • The computer equipment not protected by a NAS doesn't shut down from these voltage drops/surges, so I think the unit is a little on the sensitive side, but I'd rather have overly sensitive UPS equipment than insufficiently sensitive equipment
    • I had a 14 year old UPS APC that worked wonderfully until I broke it like an idiot earlier this year
    • A very good UPS unit.
    • Power outage at the house (Storm), lost connectivity (router, etc.)...the "U" in UPS is false with this thing
