[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have been running my new beast machine off the UPS for a few weeks, smooth as silk. The Beast is a ASUS ROG Maximus IX Code motherboard, i7 7700K, EVGA GTX 1060, .M2 Samsung 960 Pro SSD, and two 1TB HDD's running Raid1 for quick backups off the SSD, EVGA 850 G2 PS, 5 140mm Fans and Liquid Cooling system. And some other stuff, all pulling quite a load on the juice. Have not had any power outages as of yet, but have tested w by unplugging the power from the UPS. Alarm beeping, the beast and monitor never skipped a beat. Have been using APC UPS's at home and in large server rooms for decades....still using them.

I have used the APC products for yerrs and never had problems untill this one. Out of the box it has never worked right. Tells you often the batts are low when the system check shows there fully charged and shows no operational problems. The auto timed shut down does not work as programed and instantly shuts down at the first lighting strike. I'm getting the runaround from Staples trying to get it swapped out even through I did buy there "replacement plan" So untill things are hopefully resolved I'm not a happy camper. Would I buy again yes, as they have preformed for me well with all the others I've used. We all get a lemon at some point in time.

APC UPS's are reputable, good quality, super solid, and with awesome support. Otherwise I wouldn't look at them. Just bought Back-UPS BR1500G plus external battery pack for home use due to COVID-19 working from home all the time. The cooling fan noise is not too loud but definitely very noticeable in home office setup, which is died quiet generally. Personally I can't stand this noise the whole day and everyday at home! I do NOT recommend this UPS for home use, unless you plan to put it in a remote closet or corner. Very disappointed with APC: making super quiet fans and better cooling management is not difficult at all in nowadays.

I bought this about 3 months ago. I run a dell top of the line XPS system. The product will keep my internet server up and running when we lose power. It will not keep my system up but does keep my shutdown safe so when power comes back on I did not lose all my information. I thought it would at least keep me up and running long enough to save and shut down. Guess I will have to think about a bigger one next time. I know people have complained about the size and fan noise. Do not see a issues with it in my opinion. Fans are no louder than my system fans. All in all very happy just hate it keep telling me the battery needs replaced and the screen shows full charge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this ups to power my home office. I have it powering an amp, a dac, speakers, subwoofer, modem, router, printer, two 24" monitors, an led desk lamp and a Microsoft surface dock. Even with everything on I still have over 30 minutes of runtime. I live in Florida where we have lightning all the time. Since I have installed the unit in April I have had 10 power events according to the ups. Twice the power has gone out and I have continued work uninterrupted. This product is a must have if you have frequent power problems. I bought a second one to hook up to my tv, ps4, home theater setup.

The Back Ups Pro 1500 must have a design flaw. I own several of these units. At least two do not power my plugged in devices in the event of a power failure. The devices they support are plugged into the labeled battery backup sockets not the surge protected only sockets. It is not worth the hassle of pulling these out of service until their useful life ends. I just hope no other battery back up units of the same model come in with this defect. For the units that do work, their run time with a standard PC plugged in is about 20 minutes. I was hoping for much longer run time than that.

I would have given the product five stars if the price was cheaper. I cannot comment on all of the features because I do not use all of them. However, I will say that I am definitely satisfied with the unit. One of my favorite features is the power saving outlets. I have a Playstation 3 plugged into the master outlet and a TV plugged into the outlet below it. So when I turn on my PS3 the TV turns on. When I turn off my PS3 the TV turns off. Pretty cool if you ask me. The battery run time is also satisfactory. I recently watched Netflix through my PS3 for roughly 47 minutes on battery power before having to plug the unit back into the wall outlet. All in all I feel that this purchase was money well spent.

This is the first time that I have done the online upgrade with APC. It went flawless. The new BR1500G went in without much of a hitch and has performed top notch. Not sure what the fan noise issue that I have seen on other comments as I can barley hear anything under normal operating conditions. I would not hesitate to purchase my next unit from APC. My only complaint was the software was not included with the unit as a new version has been produced by not available on hard copy. I wish they would have issued a postcard that one could send in to obtain this when available.

I had a 1500LCD that I received as a warranty replacement of another 1500. The 1500LCD went bad out of waranty, this was recommended on a Trade-UPS. It is more similar to the earluier one I had and in fact takes the same add-on battery pack I had with the first model, It is just a different color. So far I am pleased, and was especially pleased when APC accepted return of the battery i ordered when I thought the problem with the LCD was battery. I did learn to CALL tech support before assuming a battery is bad when a unit fails very quickly after power failure,

You will appreciate this feature loaded UPS Backup unit. From its Digital display to its many user features. I live in a very remote wooded area of TN. We constantly lose power due to trees high winds and brown outs. This is my 3rd APC purchase and I have noted the technical improvements over the years. This is a great product that is packed with user features. easy to set up and use. It is user friendly and has many options you can configure. I got frustrated with my Satellite Receiver going out and constantly rebooting. So I use it to protect my Sat receiver and LCD TV. Plenty of power to finish watching your favorite show and then gently shutting down your equipment. Always have the ability to charge your cell phones to boot.
