  • APC Back-UPS - None Better!

    I have three of these - all purchased on eBay and two in service for a year. The APC Back-UPS Pro 1500MS (pure sinewave) is a good unit that provides good reliability. I replaced an unreliable Cyber Power 1500 sinewave model unit that would fully charge good batteries, but eventually would shut completely off during nonexistent power events, even affecting anything connected to its surge only outlets - despite having fully charged new batteries and a low load on its battery outlets. From Internet searches, this isn't all that uncommon of a fault with 1-3 year old Cyber Power units, and Cyber Power just recommends purchasing a new one in many of these cases - HA! The weight of the APC Back-UPS Pro1500MS is noticeably greater than the comparable Cyber Power 1500 unit - likely due to a better heavier transformer and better circuitry in the APC unit control board. Any needed 3 year recommended battery service on the APC units is also much easier. China can keep their Cyber Power units. The Cyber Power 1500 sinewave, I had, gave power issues from day one, logging power line issues that never occurred despite even setting it to the lowest setting to reduce unneeded switching to battery. My UPS units on the, same power line circuit, never showed any line power issues on their default medium setting or high setting unless there actually was a power line problem. I still have an old APC Backups Pro1500 (modified sinewave) that has worked flawlessly with only battery replacements needed since 2005. The APC units just win hands down when it comes to reliability and performance. I fully expect I'll have the same long-term performance from my APC Back-UPS Pro 1500MS units as I've had with my other APC units.

  • Effective Short-Term Power Backup

    The 1000, 1350, and 1500 models are reasonably close in price, and according to the manufacturer's specs these models have the same physical dimensions. I therefore made the easy decision and just purchased the 1500 model. I'm supporting a pretty low-draw home office configuration with this UPS backup unit. All devices are plugged directly into a 10-outlet power strip -- which also happens to be marketed by APC. The power strip is then plugged into the the backup unit. My office configuration consists of: 1) an AT&T WiFi tower; 2) a desktop computer with free-standing monitor, printer, and speakers; 3) a laptop computer (with its own battery) connected to a docking station; and 4) two LED desk lamps. My handheld amp/watt meter tells me that this configuration pulls 210 watts. The APC BR1500MS display (more about that below) tells me that it is pulling just 70 watts. But what matters is a real-world test. So after allowing the UPS unit to fully charge, I "pulled the plug" to simulate a power outage. With all devices drawing power as they normally would, it supported my configuration for over an hour, at which point I suspended the test. It took about 16 hours to bring the unit back to full charge, remarkably close to the manufacturer's specs. The setup was easy - almost plug-and-play. The control display on the front of the unit is very helpful. It will show you the current power draw (% of unit capacity) and your battery charge level, and you can cycle through a number of other options including the wattage being drawn and an estimated "up" time in the event of a power failure. The projected "up" time seems like an overestimate, but not overly so. To sum up, this unit seems to provide reasonable backup for short-term power outages, and at the very least should provide time to complete an orderly shutdown instead of just being cut off cold. Since purchasing the UPS unit in early March 2021, my household (and apparently my surrouding neighborhood) experienced several back-to-back and momentary power disruptions, and the unit switched over to support all devices just fine.

  • Great to have to backup a television and computer

    I have had many a times where the power goes out unexpectedly and both my television and computer shut down abruptly with the DVR cutting off and files not saved on the computer. Well, that will be a thing of the past with this APC unit. It is reasonably priced, works great, and easy to set up. Very pleased with my purchase.

  • simple easy to use and wire

    It's the perfect sized unit for most small computer to A/V set-ups I have been trying to BUY (4) MORE but have been met with resistance. "can't ship to that address" it's the EXACT same address that you shipped the one you're asking me to rate !? PLEASE HELP ME procure (4) additional UPS's Thanks JD

  • Reliable and efficient backup devices

    I've had several occasions to see the unit(s) in action. We've had several power outages this past month and several brown-outs (very unusual, bad weather plus careless driving knocked power out for my small rural community) each time both units went into action and completely shielded my home network and work computer from the outages. I had over an hour worth of backup on the unit protecting my computer, and one-hour and fifty minutes on the unit backing up my wi-fi router, and several peripheral devices. Thus far, I'm more than pleased with these units and would recommend them highly.

  • I Have the power!

    More compact than previous versions of UPS. Ten outlets provide plenty of access points.

  • great unit for the price

    we recently had an extended power outage and had to run our generator for the period. the unit seemed to perform very well at power monitoring and it made a few clicking sounds as it kicked in and out but other than that it did its job well!

  • A necessity for your digital life.

    Easy set up. The powerchute software when coupled with this battery will save your bacon if the power goes out while you are away from your computer.
