Setup was easy and done within a few minutes. The UPS itself was smaller than i had thought, but that is a plus since it takes up such a small footprint. Overall i am very happy with the product.

Great device. Love all the detailed information on the display. I have been using APC products for many years and can always trust the quality.

Excellent UPS for home network setup!

[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
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Backup Power!

[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.
