    APC UPS 1500VA Sinewave UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector, APC BackUPS Pro UPS (BR1500MS)

    • The UPS works great and has plenty of capacity for all of the office goodies I have plugged into it.
    • Works very well as a UPS, and the AVR, cold start, and adjustable voltage sensitivity allows this UPS to function effectively on generator power.

    • Great UPS price
    • Nice little UPS with great features.
    • I completed the contact form, including adding the UPS serial number and attaching a copy of the Amazon receipt to ensure they knew it still under warranty
    • APC makes the best UPS in my opinion and this is a very nice one for the money.
    • 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
    • Fantastic UPS
    • UPS is working better than expected
    • I love this UPS.
    • Excellent UPS.
    • This UPS unite by APC is very reliable
    • They should produce a less expensive pure sine wave UPS for home use

    • I highly recommend this UPS for home use.

    • 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.
    • Voltage regulation as well as UPS functions sorely needed in rural AZ

    • They cost half of what the smart UPS batteries did and last years more.
    • I replaced a failing APC UPS which was about 12 years old
    • UPS's are great for protecting computers and cable/satellite equipment from brief and intermittent power interruptions.
    • Overloading or running UPS backups at maximum capacity will damage both the batteries and the UPS electronics over time
    • 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
    • Excellent this UPS, I have a gamer
    • Most expensive UPS ever
    • The run time isn't very long but the UPS was satisfactory for me in providing continuous power to protect my computer
    • Surely UPS must have been too rough in handling, but there wasn't any real packing material either
    • 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 is downright silent by comparison
    • The UPS is head and shoulders better than the older APC units

    • Moving to a desktop with a UPS was an adventure that this UPS made very easy
    • 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.
    • I would recommend this and other Back-Ups offerings to all my friends/co-workers.
    • 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
    • Had an APC smart UPS that kept overheating and killing the batteries, which were like $500 a pop, for the computers on my KBA comet.
    • I had a 14 year old UPS APC that worked wonderfully until I broke it like an idiot earlier this year
    • An excellent UPS, especially at the DoD lower price
    • This UPS works, and the battery seems to last what it's supposed to, and I like the idea of expandability, blah, blah

    • I have owned this UPS since 2012 and love it.
    • Awesome UPS.
    • A very good UPS unit.

    • This UPS works, and it has a good USB interface / software utility
    • This is probably the best non-enterprise UPS that I've ever had.
    • I love this UPS
    • Great UPS
    • 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
    • This UPS has been great
    • 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

    • If you need 1000 Watts then it looks like you will have to go with CyberPower PR1500LCD Smart App Sinewave UPS 1500VA
    • I have been a loyal APC UPS customer for over 20 years.
    • 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 am a long time APC fan, they make the best UPS's by far.
    • It's good because it's a good UPS, bad because the replacement battery cost almost as much as the new unit.
    • This UPS is well worth the money and the APS service is outstanding.
    • I had no problems installing the UPS
    • APC has a three-year warranty, and replaced the UPS for free when it failed
    • I do not know if it is truly a battery issue or if the UPS is defective.
    • 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
    • This UPS was extremely easy to hook up.
    • This UPS is also much more efficient than the older ones that I have
    • If I lay the UPS on it's side, it will intermittently show as the battery is connected/disconnected and then usually remains not connected.
    • 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
    • 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.

    • 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!
    • My home network has 2 separate desktop installations and the UPS units insure protection and coverage.
    • A great little UPS for any home office
    • Great UPS for medium powered system that doesn't need pure sine wave, especially with the optional extended battery that sits along side it

    • This is a recognized well made UPS.
    • My last UPS stopped working a couple of weeks

    • DO NOT use the included coax cable :/UPS works great
    • 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.
    • This UPS is completely quiet.
    • This is the perfect UPS for your entertainment center
    • 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
