Back-UPS Pro (BR1000 MS) every penny.

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.
Pros: Easy to Overclock, Energy Efficient, Easy to Perform Maintenance, Ease of Management, Good Value, High Quality, Fast, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

Great unit!

The BR1000 is more than adequate for my home office needs (a router, a desktop PC and a laptop). My devices seldom draw more that 150W combined and the BR1000 will keep them running for over 30 minutes. I tested it by unplugging and the transition to battery power was seamless. I love the fact that the display can be configured to show current wattage drawn, minutes remaining on battery or other desired info. I have had no problems with noise or heat from the unit. Battery is easily replaceable without tools. Configuration of outlets is convenient though buyers should be aware they are all on the back while display is of course on front. My only advice for others is that you might well do with a smaller and lighter unit if you are only protecting a PC and router as I am - nice to have the extra capacity but not essential.

Perfect if you Live in Earthquake Country

from Las Vegas
We use this product to hold up the household network router and the wireless security system. With the recent earthquakes in California that could be felt in Las Vegas, we were glad to have the ability to know that our security system would be working even if the utility power was interrupted. This is a great product that is produced by a great company.

Powerful unit with convenient features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several other APC units in the 700-1500 VA capacity range. Recently, the battery on my SU700XLNET died, and rather than replace the battery again, I opted to try out this BR100MS. I like the black color much better than the tan of the old unit.
Wow! The difference is amazing. Newer technology brings a lot of nice features. The LCD display gives vital information about battery, load, and most importantly, estimated runtime. While the old UPS probably gave me longer runtime, this unit still has a 56 minute runtime with the iMac I have connected to it. Plenty for me, as power in my area is pretty reliable. Plus, it weighs less than half that of the 700XL (22 vs. 53 lbs) and is much smaller as well.
Additionally, when connected via USB to the iMac, the Energy Saver preference panel recognized the UPS with no other software. Checking "Show UPS status in the menu bar" and I now see the UPS status with battery % at the top of the screen all the time. Note that you must use the enclosed USB cable, as one end is an ethernet-like connector that plugs into the UPS communication port.
On the back are 10 outlets, 6 of which are battery backup. The other 4 can be used for devices like printers that don't need power during an outage. In fact, laser printers should NOT be connected to battery backup outlets, as they draw too much power and may damage the UPS. I am only using three of the outlets, so this is plenty for my needs.
The only hiccup I've had was when setting up the unit. Every UPS ships with the battery disconnected for safety, and must be connected before using. After removing the UPS from the box, I followed the instruction sticker to connect the battery. At first, I could not slide the side down per the instructions to gain access to the battery compartment. Then I realized the sticker itself was holding the access door in place. Removing the sticker allowed me to proceed well. While connecting the battery, a quick look revealed that replacing the battery should be a very easy process with no tools, unlike my other APC units.
I didn't think I'd like the LCD as much as I do, but its crisp display and simple interface (one button cycles the info displayed) make me want to keep checking all the stats, especially runtime. The display is a soft white (not blue), and shuts off automatically after about 30 seconds after pressing the button.
All in all, I'm very pleased with this UPS. I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Had for several weeks to replace an older model. I needed one with a data port and this was the least expensive one with that feature. It stands on its side and has a thin profile
as a result. The plug ins are wide enough apart that all the plugs I use fit well.
