[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backup power supply is awesome. It comes in at a hefty 27 lbs, but it is solid! It came with a systems check to show that all the components were in working order, which gave me a big vote of confidence in this item. There are plenty of plugs for my needs and it is the perfect solution to any kind of power outage, making sure that automated doors and other cameras are still up and running like we need them to. I’m very happy with it and I feel safe and secure knowing that if there is an issue with power, I’ll be covered.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have a different version of UPS battery backup but this one is an upgraded model that has much more features and power than my previous one. I love the fact that the battery is user removable/replaceable as eventually this part requires a replacement. UPS is an important equipment to protect electronics devices from power surge as this product regulates and stabilizes the power. It also provides power when there is no electricity for up to 6 hours. Additionally, it allows you to add an external battery pack to add more juice. This UPS has 900W or 1500VA capacity with 10 outlets, USB A/C, coaxial and gigabit data ports. I connected to the main router/modem and all of my audio systems /TV. When power is out, my internet will still be available. Make sure to connect the internal battery cable before the first use. It comes with a 3 years manufacturer warranty. This is one of the battery UPS backups that may last for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we have power outages, which we get quite a lot in our area, electronics can get ruined with power surges. I've had that happen go me. I've decided to get this power tower to protect my electronics from getting damaged. Whenever we have power outages, internet goes out which makes me stop my work. With the tower, I can connect my modem to it and have uninterrupted internet service. When I am working and power goes out , everything goes out. With this power tower I can plug everything in and it can keep running for some time. Phones and tablets can get charged fully quickly as well as other battery operated electronics. The power tower comes with 10 outlets, automatic voltage regulator, USB Type A + C ports. The tower has clear LCD screen. Wonderful battery backup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have worked from home for 10+ years and live in the country so we lose power pretty often and when I don’t have power or internet I of course can’t work. I lose my progress and calls and all also. With this backup I can save my work and still have enough power and internet to notify my customer and management also. And then if it’s not off for hours I have enough backup to continue working until it comes back on also. It’s such a convenient thing to have for anyone but esp if you’re working from home or even in general period it’s awesome to have. And when you live in the country and lose power and internet often often like we do also. Super handy!

Without the 3 year warranty, this product would be trash. Make sure you check the manufacture date to make sure you're getting a recent unit, as the warranty is *3 years from the production date* not *3 years from time of purchase*. I set up several friends with this unit and each of them has had at least 1 warranty replacement due to faults. APC has been very good about warranty repairs, though. The plug orientation is unfortunate if many of your devices have traditional horizontal power adapters at the outlet plug. I'll still recommend this product as it's in the "this is a bad product... except for all the others (in a similar price category)"

Unit received 07/01/2024, installed 07/05/2024. Working properly. So far computer and communications equipment has 100% up time. I have installed/used APC products in the past for employers and this was the reason I chose APC for home. Easy setup and it is working well. Instructions are easy to follow. Would recommend expanded instructions if using this unit to manage power spikes for Ethernet cable into/out of UPS unit as it relates to the ground terminal screw. I called APC technical and finally got an explanation what this ground screw is used for, but not much explanation how to connect it to house ground. At this time, I am not using this feature.

APC has been the leader in UPS power. The BR 1000VA is very well designed and extremely easy to setup. Knowing which outlets are surge protected and battery back-up up is easy, one side is battery, the other is surge only. Although it is a medium size UPS, it has 10 Outlets which 6 are battery back-up. This is very efficient for todays desktop and laptop users. I use it to power my home model/router and printer along with all the necessary accessories attached to my desktop. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to protect their computers and home electronic devices. Lightweight and easy to storage. Detailed direction included on how to use the product. Very satisfied!

Nothing is more frustrating than a totally unexpected AC power outage. I experienced such an outage on Sunday June 30th when the electric company performed a routine replacement of a transformer in our area. The outage lasted 1/2 seconds but the Back-UPS was already functioning as it should supplying power to the connected devices. I personally use the (BR1000MS) to both protect and supply AC power to our audio and video equipment since all of the components are clustered together. As the owner of other APC.com backup products I am happy to say that this particular model is impressive.

I have had this unit since mid-April and it has got the job done on two occasions, but tonight it tripped offline, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. The display indicates only 50% load as I write this review, but when it tripped my computer wasn't being used. I bought this device to prevent this from happening! Any ideas?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some things you don't know you need until you have one, this is one of those things. A must have if you work from home, are a student or an avid gamer in an area prone to power outages. Can power your TV or even a desktop with internet connection as well for anywhere from 94 minutes on, depending on how many items are plugged in and needing the power. It's nice to have the backup even just temporarily to help you get anything you need done in the unfortunate event of an outage. Takes about 24 hours to get a full charge on the unit itself which is fine because the battery stays strong .
