In Battery Backup (UPS)

This is a follow up review for the one I made on July 1, which in retrospect was made in haste for the DOA unit I received: I had called support the following Monday, and in less than 5 minutes they arranged for an exchange, no questions asked. A couple of weeks later I had received my unit, and it worked fine ever since. I don't really have much to expand on from my original review except that mine now works, has an informative display and generous battery time for my 21 inch monitor and Core i5/670 GTX setup. Its slim stand up design makes it easy to tuck between my desk and wall. I also appreciated the quick, no questions asked customer service. I know sometimes I make decisions based on how well the customer service is, but its hard to tell before you even have dealt with the company.

-10 outlets (5 surge = 5 battery back up) -Easy to read display -Ease of use and read on screen features -Protects from spikes (which happens a bit in my case) -Easy swap batteries -Automatic Voltage Regulation. Improves unit efficiency saving electricity -Unit runtime range from 16 minutes to 164 minutes -Lifetime $150K equipment protection policy (site says $250K) -3 year warranty on the unit -Network and Coax protection included So many features, UPS units are so underrated in the electronics (home theater +more) arena, as most of the time people opt for units that equal in value but not the features an UPS offers. And for my personal system (home theater and computer equipment), I once wen for regular surge protectors but using this UPS system has convinced me that I previously made the wrong choice, paying twice as much also. I had been remodeling my house recently and changed several outlets, being that I forgot that I had my PC on and connected to the UPS, many times I had to hit the whole house power switch, no more than 30 minutes at a time and ever two-three hours I would check for new e-mails and no lost of data or programs shutting down. Incredible, it feels great to know that your expensive equipment is connected to a unit that is definitely better than most power surge protectors and don't come with a battery back up, unit always worked as it should. In two occasions I purposely disconnected the unit from the wall receptacle, while playing video games in my console, come to find out the description says 16 min for a LCD TV and XBOX 360, but it lasted more on a LED 55", as LED uses less power. Unfortunately I no longer have a LCD TV and my monitor is LED as well, which still, uses less electricity. I have now swapped my old $100 surge protector from my home theater unit which I happen to use more often, for the UPS unit, there's plenty of space to hide it and the weight tells me there's great quality components inside that unit, the APC UPS is the McIntosh of all surge protectors.

This power supply is amazing. I live in a older townhouse by the marina. It helps regulate the flow of energy evenly to my home office. i have conceted my 32" monitor/TV my laptop and my scanner. also my external hard drive. it has a Multi-function LCD display/ $350,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee - 3 Year Warranty. It has 10 outlets, 5 of them are power back up for ur to 4-8 hours. I have had other UPS in the past and they are very loud. I think this one is not only more quite . its much smaller than my last unit as well. Over all i think this is the bext UPS ever. I would recommend this UPS to anyone looking for a amazing solution.

I forget that it is working in the background. No problems.

- Arrived well-before suggested delivery date. - Well-packaged to prevent any damage. - Set-up was easy with minimal, but very good instructions. - It has been in use for almost two weeks, and there have been no electrical incidents where the backup needed to turn on, so . . . will need to wait to comment on reliability. - Connected to the Back-UPS 1500 are an iMac with two ext HDD's, a Mac mini M2 Pro w/ 4TB of SSD, a studio monitor, and an OWC mini stack STX with a 4 TB HDD and 4 TB of SSD.

The Eco mode is great for mitigating ghost power. Three peripherals can be plugged in to this section on the UPS, when units detects a power down via a USB connection, it cuts power to those 3 plugs. So, know my speakers and monitors don't draw standby power!

- Does what it does and does it well

- doesn't necessarily require software to check it's operational status, has its own LCD display menu - large enough for a PC and medium size flat screen TV

Easy to set up and use.
