Excellent UPS for home network setup!
on May 30, 2023
Posted by: KyleH
from Kansas City, Mo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a computer enthusiast who runs a home server, NAS, and PoE networking gear for multiple APs and it's very important to me to have my computing gear stay online as much as possible because I self-host a lot of services, including my home automation system, Home Assistant. In particular, I don't want my NAS hard drives losing power suddenly in the middle of writes in case my home power flickers. I've been looking to upgrade my UPS for a while and was excited to get the opportunity to test out the APC Back-UPS Pro. I couldn't be happier with this UPS as an upgrade for my home network setup!
The 1500VA capacity of the Back-UPS Pro is fantastic, which more than doubles my previous UPS's capacity. Not only that, it looks great under my desk and resembles a small desktop tower computer. I love the LCD display that shows information about power status, load and battery runtime time. It has 10 standard power connectors on the back, 5 of those connectors are battery backed, and the other 5 are surge protection only. I love that this UPS features AVR to smooth out voltage fluctuations to help my various power supplies last longer.
I love that I can hook up this UPS to my Linux server via the included data cable and interface with Network UPS Tools (NUT) to customize power loss alerts and gracefully shutdown my entire infrastructure if it's been on battery power for too long. I wish I didn't have to special special cable to get this to work though. My absolute favorite part about this setup is that I can hook up NUT to Home Assistant and Grafana to graph my entire network's power usage over time!
Overall, I'm super-happy with this UPS – It has tons of power ports, the LCD screen is very handy, it features AVR, and has a huge 1500VA capacity that should keep my system up and running for many minutes in the event of power failure. This is hands-down the best UPS I've ever owned!
Pros: Energy Efficient, Ease of Management, Good Value, High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

Verified Purchase:Yes
Where I live, we have many power outages. This UPS allows me plenty of time to finish what I am doing and shut down properly. An amazing product.

Amazing Backup Power!
on May 30, 2023

from Grand Rapids, MI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backup power supply is awesome. It comes in at a hefty 27 lbs, but it is solid! It came with a systems check to show that all the components were in working order, which gave me a big vote of confidence in this item. There are plenty of plugs for my needs and it is the perfect solution to any kind of power outage, making sure that automated doors and other cameras are still up and running like we need them to. I’m very happy with it and I feel safe and secure knowing that if there is an issue with power, I’ll be covered.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used APC backups for years now and this one is just as reliable as the previous ones I have used. It is easy to get set up and running. Failover is flawless. I would expect it to be a little more wallet-friendly for the feature set but it isn’t quite overpriced. There are more affordable options. It does the job well and can have a pretty decent load on it. All in all it’s a solid addition to any office.
Cons: Too Expensive

SUPERB
on June 4, 2023
Posted by: Floridian
from Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used a back-up for years but this is hands down my new favorite thanks to the combination of ease and features. The user replaced battery is a "must" for longer term use and the features, functions and other input/output configurations are perfect for either serious home use or small business, at home/remote work etc... Living in Florida and doing some remote work time to time means afternoon thunderstorms and power surges that can disrupt or cause the loss of hours of work - this provides instant coverage to support a collective save and shut down without worry. Ample ability to connect most electronics including computer, router, monitor/tv and more, simple visual display and intuitive connections.
Pros: Easy to Perform Maintenance, High Quality

Great Backup Tower
on June 4, 2023
Posted by: Shanny
from New York, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the APC Back-UPS Pro, 1500VA/865W, Tower, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. This UPS has become an essential part of my home office setup, providing reliable backup power and protection for my electronic devices.
The tower design is sleek and fits perfectly into my workspace without taking up too much room. The LCD display on the front panel gives me all the necessary information about battery status and power levels, making it easy to keep track of its performance.
With 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets, I can conveniently connect multiple devices at once. It's a relief to know that my desktop computer, gaming console, and other electronics are all protected during power outages and voltage fluctuations. The automatic voltage regulation (AVR) feature ensures a stable power supply, keeping my devices safe from harm.
The inclusion of USB Type A + C ports is a thoughtful addition. I can charge my mobile devices or connect other USB-powered accessories without any hassle. It's a versatile feature that eliminates the need for extra adapters or cables.
One standout feature is the user-replaceable battery. When it's time for a replacement, I can easily do it myself without requiring professional assistance. It saves me time and money while ensuring that my UPS remains operational and protecting my devices.
I've been impressed by the performance of the APC Back-UPS Pro. During power outages, it keeps my devices running smoothly until power is restored or I can safely shut them down. It has provided me with peace of mind, preventing data loss and damage to my electronics on multiple occasions.
In conclusion, its def worth the money and the peace of mind my stuff wouldn't be all messaged up
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
Cons: Runs Hot

User replaceable battery and provides enough power
on June 5, 2023
Posted by: Cats74
from Roswell, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have a different version of UPS battery backup but this one is an upgraded model that has much more features and power than my previous one. I love the fact that the battery is user removable/replaceable as eventually this part requires a replacement. UPS is an important equipment to protect electronics devices from power surge as this product regulates and stabilizes the power. It also provides power when there is no electricity for up to 6 hours. Additionally, it allows you to add an external battery pack to add more juice. This UPS has 900W or 1500VA capacity with 10 outlets, USB A/C, coaxial and gigabit data ports. I connected to the main router/modem and all of my audio systems /TV. When power is out, my internet will still be available. Make sure to connect the internal battery cable before the first use. It comes with a 3 years manufacturer warranty. This is one of the battery UPS backups that may last for a long time.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Ease of Management, High Quality, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Cons: Too Expensive, Part Failure

Sooo handy!

from West Virginia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have worked from home for 10+ years and live in the country so we lose power pretty often and when I don’t have power or internet I of course can’t work. I lose my progress and calls and all also. With this backup I can save my work and still have enough power and internet to notify my customer and management also. And then if it’s not off for hours I have enough backup to continue working until it comes back on also. It’s such a convenient thing to have for anyone but esp if you’re working from home or even in general period it’s awesome to have. And when you live in the country and lose power and internet often often like we do also. Super handy!
Pros: Energy Efficient, Good Value, High Quality, Fast
