Perfect for home!

Designed for electronics in your home or office, such as computers and related equipment, network devices (modem/router), televisions and video game consoles. Like all APC products it comes with a strong warranty and a data protection guarantee. I highly recommend this machine for your home office needs.

UPS so nice I'd buy it twice!

I bought this for my living room home entertainment setup. My tv is over my fireplace and the power outlet is behind the TV. There is a conduit in the wall for my coax/HDMI - so my cable box is in the corner of my living room - away from the TV. We occasionally have power flickers during storms and I didn't want to ruin my LG TV/Soundbar. I bought some electrical cord and fished it through the HDMI conduit and put proper ends on each end - then ran it into the APC. Now my TV/Soundbar never flicker during a storm. I've also got my cable box going into it so it is protected. I liked how this worked so much that I put a second one in my upstairs media room and have my TV, stereo, Internet, and cable going to it. I never loose connectivity anymore.

I love the slim design of this APC. The LCD is awesome and even let's you know when there's wiring issues. Never had one of these fail me. Reliable and awesome.

Excellent product - works as intended

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had owned the APC RS700 Back-UPS and the product has served me well over the last few years. The new APC Pro BX850M Back-UPS came with complete and much clearer and understandable insturctions for installation and operation than my previous product. Installation and setup was quick and easy and I was up and running again in less than 15 minutes. This unit is the newest of several APC UPS products that I've owned and used without any issues over the many years of computing and I would recommend this brand and product to anyone

A Great UPS for a PC and Peripherals

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit replaced an APC Back-UPS RS, which is a fine enough unit but this one is even better! I especially love the LED display that tells me so much more info about the status of the system, including the connected load. I can now easily see which connected components are creating the load.
I also like that surge protection for co-ax has been added, so I can protect my cable modem connection. I was disappointed to find that surge protection for a phone line has been dropped -- some places we deal with still ask that we communicate by fax!
I've not used it long enough to test the surge protection and battery backup capabilities, but I've been using APC power protection products, including various generations of UPS's, for over 20 years and have confidence this one will perform as well on that score as it's older cousins always have.

SWEET

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device, an APC Back-UPS Pro model BX1500M, is a great UPS. It does what it is supposed to do, and does so with little fuss or bother (overall). While it is a bit physically larger than many similar capacity (1500VA) UPSes, it is a slim case design that works well under your desk, or on your bookshelf. I have experienced absolutely no operational issues with the UPS over the past couple of weeks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've purchased several of these APC 1500 Pro backup units for my customers and couldn't be more please. Great value and features. LCD makes it easy to check status and health of unit. This is my "go to" for most server and network deployments.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Easy to Perform Maintenance, Ease of Management, Good Value, High Quality, Fast, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

Good Product - No Mac Software Support :(
on June 7, 2022
Posted by: Mark S
from Titusville, Florida
it's a pretty good product. Overall solid support - and I have 3 of these in my home. one for my home office and one for each home theater setup. I live in Florida - the lightning capital of the Western hemisphere, and these do a good job. But I'm unable to log into these these boxes, because there is not software written for Mac OS, which is completely unacceptable today
Pros: Easy to Perform Maintenance, High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Cons: Difficult Management, Lacking Vendor Support
