Very nice backup unit. No problems so far. Pure sine wave technology. Has USB chargers on the front. Just the right amount of displayed information on the front panel.
Easy to set up! Plenty of outlets for all our media!
The product is improved from my prior model without much difference in price. I like that the box is just a little bit smaller and better ventilated.
quick shipment, item is as described. Seller trying to do good, so give the seller a chance to correct if they make a mistake.
-protects equipment from voltage fluctuations and surges -USB charging -good form factor for the unit and plug
Bought this for the small footprint as it needed to sit in a small space. It was exactly what I was looking for and keeps my Fiber modem and ethernet adapter running for many hours. I like that you can disable the alarm easily and that it was very straightforward to hook up and power on.
- 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.
Easy setup Clean looking Easy management
-Bulky and heavy, I can store other small object on top of it easily like a small switch and a raspberry pi without worrying about knocking it over -UPS seems to work as advertised, unplugged it with all my devices connected and it keeps them powered with about 28 minutes of battery life at full charge -Simple display screen to monitor wattage draw, battery life remaining, etc.
It is a very shiny black color with a sexy blue display.
This APC BR1500MS2 Back UPS PRO backs up and stabilizes the power to my network modem, router, NAS, PBX, FAX machine and VoIP interface. It also protects them from surges. Even momentary power interruptions can be a serious interruption to my wife's and my work and potentially costly. Brief utility power interruptions cause no problems on our network. During a sustained outage, the internal batteries in this UPS keep our network infrastructure running long enough for me to start our backup power generator and get it on-line. Living on a coastal island in a hurricane zone, power glitches are common. My previous UPS was a similar APC model that served me well for more than ten years before it needed another set of batteries and was on the verge of being functionally obsolete.
My unit arrived packed within another box and was pacled well in its retail box as I had no unit damaged as some others have said. Plugged in components and plugged in unit to wall and everything worked well. Unit seems to do what it supposed as expected. Unit went from wall power to battery nice and fast and keep my system up and running as designed. Lcd display is nice as well as software functions. Setting can be changed via the software or by the unit itself.
I like the software you can get from APC to adjust how this UPS works.
Lightweight Small footprint
- This protects my RTX 3090 machine quite well - I've used APC products almost exclusively in IT for nearly 2 decades and never had any significant performance issues with them - This is the first time I've purchased a Sine Wave product, but the reviews and the science behind it convinced me to spend the extra 10-20% over a "regular" backup unit
Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!
Works fanatstic as a backup unit for our cable modem and a few switches.
Works as described, costs less than other brands for the same output.
