Replacing an Old APC UPS
Getting a replacement unit was quick and easy. Just give them the model and Serial No. from your old unit. It comes in a few days. Then all you need to do is connect the battery, move the wires from your old unit to the new one and you’re done.

Fantastic Home/Office UPS
I purchased several of these UPSs for my home office and networking equipment. It has been a great addition. My home has poor quality power which affects my computer and sound system. After adding the UPS, I have had no issues. Additionally, the LCD screen allows me to quickly and easily check the UPS status, run time, and power input/output analytics. It has allowed me...

APC BR1500MS2 Purchase/Installation
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 ma...

APC UPS Battery surge protection backups a Winner!
I won't give 5 stars yet as I've not had it long enough. It was pretty easy to purchase, and the installation was straightforward as was the registration & software download. I have used APC / Schneider Electric battery back up UPS units going on 25 years and never had a problem that was not easily fixed in a timely fashion. My last died after 13 years service . . . ...

Great so far, definitely recommend over BGM1500B.
I have only had this unit for about a week, but has worked great so far. Much better than the BGM1500B which immediately arc flashed upon first use. I returned that without any issue but could not get the newer version BGM1500B-US at the APC web-site or any of their affiliates that I have heard of (only one affiliate claimed to have them in stock, but I did not want to ...

APC - A Good Choice for Computer Battery Backup Sp
While the number of potentially suitable APC UPS offerings is a bit over whelming, the website is well-organized, so once I narrowed down what I was looking for, I found it quickly. The purchase process was surprisingly smooth, I was felt informed as to the status of my order via email, and the UPS was delivered by UPS right in the estimated date of delivery I was give...

Buyer Beware
I know there are a lot of positive reviews about APC and its products but as a first-timer into the UPS space I'm beyond unimpressed. Not only has the unit failed to switch between battery and wall power fast enough to prevent a sudden computer shutdown during an outage on multiple occasions ( the sole purpose for this product existing), but the quality and design of th...

Great except for the battery hookup experience
Overall, like most APC devices, this is a great device. I have a previous model design for this UPS and I love the newer design except for one thing - the battery hookup. Hooking up the battery on the previous design was much easier, now it requires messing with an actual wire which isn't a bad thing in general, but APC made the wire length awkward, too stiff, and with ...

Great, as always
I have bought at least three different UPSs, and they have been excellent every time. The website does a great job of helping you to choose a UPS that meets your needs. I have bought two for servers, and one for an individual workstation. If you go with the default setup (which always seems to work great), it is super easy to use. I live in a rural area where power ...

APC delivers great products at a reasonable price.
I have previuosly owned 6 apc back ups units of various input outputs. This purchase is to replace an older 1000va. The new 1000va ups pro is as advertised. Simple setup and connection. After setting up the unit and testing, all worked as it should. The price point was an added bonus to the unit and features at time of purchase. I always buy apc for the quality and ease...

Works Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in IT and work from home 100% of the time. I got this to power my equipment and it's been working fantastic. The USB port on the front is an added bonus and super convenient to keep my phone charged during the day. You can't go wrong with APC.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is a powerhouse and works extremely well. It has all the outlets you could need and does a great job persisting power supplies during outages with no downtime. The LCD screen is a really nice touch.
