One dissapointment
on June 24, 2010
Posted by: cbreton49

I have had my SMT1500 APC Smart-UPS 1500VA LCD 120V now for a couple months and it has done great!! My only drawback with it is that it is noisy, it's big so maybe that's why but it seems louder than it should be. I do have a lot plugged into it and it hasn't failed me yet, but the noise seems to bother me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid unit but too much fan noise

The unit is solid and works exactly as advertized. It has already protected me on 5 occasion in 2 months. The fan runs constantly and is anoying in a quiet computing environment.

Don't like the new design

This ups is very solid ups I have been using smart ups 1500's for years now. This new model how ever has a change on the front panel. The old UPS had a LED scale for both battery level and load level so you can quickly see the status. Now with the new LCD panel all you get is warrning lights. If you really need to know the status you have to scroll through on the LCD panel. This is fine if you have one UPS I have about 8 of them in a server room I like being able to see the status of all 8 with one quick glance. If it wasn't for the new design I would have given it a 5 star ratting.

Glad to hear that the UPS is proving to be solid - sorry to hear you are not crazy about the new design.

One could consider using the PowerChute Business Edition software which is available for download and, amongst other things, monitors the UPS and power status.

There are various versions including those to manage up to 25 Smart-UPS simultaneously. If this is of interest, there is more information here http://bit.ly/APCPCBE

Solid equipment

Bought one of these to protect a standalone physical print server that is critical to our daily operation. This UPS works great. Great runtime, great software features, easy setup, intuitive display. For the price it's a solid performer.

Solid... but a tiny bit noisey

I've owned the SUA 1000 for 7 years, I replaced the battery once and then it finally burned out on me. The SMT 1500 was a natural progression/upgrade. I've only had it for a few months and I don't expect to think much about it until the battery needs to be replaced... and it will tell me when to do that. I have a full Editing Suite running through it. I feel safe that it's protected from surges, brown outs and in the worst scenario buy me time to backup my client's work. The fan noise is a bit more than what I remember the 1000 having but I wouldn't change my purchase. Most reliable bang for the buck. And I see similar models in all the Post Houses that I freelance for. If you can afford it buy it.
