solid hardware for serious equipment
on July 2, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have regular thunderstorms that have, in the past fried electronics even without being a direct hit. This UPS has the capacity for both my desktops and my NAS – that is online 24/7. In the two weeks since it was installed, we have had 2 storms, one involving a brief lights-out. No effect on the electronics. Also, we have had a more stable cable Internet connection since using the built-in coax surge connection. For the copper ethernet I have it connected to a 70’ run to the front room to protect against near strikes.
The front panel is compact and packed with information. Unfortunately, it is the best information. The APC server/workstation software is not straightforward to get and had limited application. I would suggest opening the interface to selected developers to reach more OS and devices.
Overall it is a solid piece of protection that is very simple to setup. Be aware that there is a hum with something that handles this much VA. But under the desk it won’t be noticeable.

I see little change in this product as compared to my BckUPS Pro 1000 that has been running for over three years with absolutely no problems. I have not had the unit long enough to assess the following previous problem.
The major problem I have will all APC UPS' is the lack of monitor/controlware that would give a much more definitive alert as compared to the 'idiot light' of the older units. This is especially critical for sites, my home office is similar, where computers are in use 24/7 for various reasons.
A major problem here in the Upper Plateau (El Paso, Tx northward through New Mexico) is the micro fine dust that permeates the region that at times (winds over 20mph) can reduce visibility considerably and the higher the winds the greater the reduction and intrusion into all homes irregardless of their 'tightness'.
I have been using APC products since 2001 when I built my own home office inside my just purchased house. However, following an upgrade to your website, all my previous purchases disappeared so there is no way any more to check my purchase history.
I would have to have a lot more information, both of your product and my friends needs before I would recommend any product. However, at the present time, APC seems to have the best UPS' on the market.

Perfect Size and Effective

APC has been the leader in UPS power. The BR 1000VA is very well designed and extremely easy to setup. Knowing which outlets are surge protected and battery back-up up is easy, one side is battery, the other is surge only. Although it is a medium size UPS, it has 10 Outlets which 6 are battery back-up. This is very efficient for todays desktop and laptop users. I use it to power my home model/router and printer along with all the necessary accessories attached to my desktop. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to protect their computers and home electronic devices. Lightweight and easy to storage. Detailed direction included on how to use the product. Very satisfied!
Pros: Energy Efficient, Ease of Management, Good Value, 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.

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.

does its job

I'm not sure what the one star review is complaining about. We purchased (3) of the BR1000MS for our office and they're all working flawlessly. My only complaint is that there doesn't seem to be a replacement battery available yet.
We don't need one yet... but we like to be prepared...
