In Battery Backup (UPS)

-Quiet Fans under operation

Operated exactly as advertised. This review unit arrived with excellent timing. The day after I installed it the power here went out for over an hour with several outages the following week! Not only did the BU 600 keep my cable modem, gigabit switch and a high end router running without missing a beat, I was even able to keep my phone charging. Estimated run time with the new battery and minimalist load was 3 hours+. Of course age reduces the battery capacity, but if you use this product in your server room, it will keep your web connections and routers running like nothing happened for at least 60+ minutes Management software is a free download. The unit was detected on my win7/64 laptop USB and windows drivers installed, and then I installed the APC software. No eyebrow raisers there. Wall mounting holes a nice touch. USB charge port @ 1.5amps shows engineers are listening to customers. I'm seeing this all over the business lately. I just bought a nice desk lamp that has a USB charge port on it.

Easy to set up! Plenty of outlets for all our media!

Easy to set up and use.

I bought this unit to replace an older CyberPower 600w unit I had bought from Newegg in July of 2010 to protect my TV and other equipment (computer is on another unit). The primary reason I did was because the old one, which was a nasty square wave unit, would cause my components to emit a "buzz", and I do believe that it damaged some of my equipment (which the manufacturer replaced, not CyberPower). Anyway these units were not out then and the only solution was an expensive APC or TrippLite unit. But fast forward to now and CyberPower has these "Pure Sine Wave" (actually Adaptive Sine Wave, a sawtooth or triangle waveform, not sine) for a good price, so I decided now was a good time to replace both units (see my CyberPower 810w Pure Sine Wave UPS review later in the week). First thing I did was plug in my radio and DVR, both of which on my old CP unit would emit a bad buzz and the front displays would slowly pulse bright and dim, and run it on battery power. No buzz, no pulsing display. Battery run time seems to be about right, ~30 minutes on a 90w load (tested, ~75w load which is my TV at 0% backlight and satellite receiver, simulating a power outage during a thunderstorm so I can watch the weather). The display is also much improved on this version, a nice white on black as opposed to a blue on blue, much more readable. Also it has the ability to always have the LCD display on (using a P3 Kill-A-Watt using the LCD display uses 1w of power).

Able to run my gaming computer at max potential with my monitor for 3 minutes or more, enough to withstand a electric blink.

Set up easy, works as expected.

I've owned this BR1500 Pro since 2-20-14 and have had zero issues period. (posting 1-30-18) It has saved my systems multiple times. I'm outside of town and occasionally have to run a generator due to bad weather, car accident etc. I also have underground wiring coming from the pole at the street into my home. Underground wiring is known to have issues. I've had mine replaced twice in 16yrs. It starts with brownouts, very small at first and just gets worse over time sometimes hard to notice. For me it's a never ending battle with the power company. I run both a Plex Media Server (FX6350, 24/7, 85-100w at wall) and my main addiction overclocking rig (Wc'd FX9590 @ 5117MHz 24 hr Prime95 stable) on one of these. The media sever gets all the benefits of the "auto shut down" saving all my data/video while my main rig gets the very much needed "Clean" power that is required to enjoy my addiction (overclocking). I also encode video on the main rig for hours (reason for OCing) and with it working at full load plus the server also encoding I have had the 1500 display report 865w - 867w at one point. Yup, it does what it claims just fine. A normal busy night would run 780w to 834w for 3 - 4 hrs. Server alone pulls 85 - 87w 24/7 normally. After almost 4 years I like this one so much I didn't hesitate to purchase a APC 850 for the new 65"/sound bar setup! I highly recommend this model for clean power and longevity.

Small and works great for the modem and router and other small power use.

I work in music recording/mixing studio environments and am extremely fussy about equipment that generates noise. I'm pleased to say that after several months of continuous use, this Li-Ion APC rack unit met and possibly exceeded expectations. When in ideal conditions, the unit is literally silent. No fan noise, no hum, no buzz. The only time noise has been observed is either when the unit is charging (due to a power failure) where very minimal self-noise is inevitable, or in an under-voltage condition (117V or under) where the internal circuitry activates in order to boost the output voltage. In comparison to APC's own legacy units (ie: 2U 750VA-1500VA lead acid monsters) which I have been using for over 15 years - they had frequent noticeable cooling fan noise, and could produce undesirable self-noise when approaching maximum load. And anecdotally, I have had one or two units fail over the years and drop the load.

quick shipment, item is as described. Seller trying to do good, so give the seller a chance to correct if they make a mistake.

My+ old one died same modlue have had good service

This unit is great for protecting standard office rack-mount networking hardware - I've deployed it with several customers and never had a problem with the unit.

Bought this for the small footprint as it needed to sit in a small space. It was exactly what I was looking for and keeps my Fiber modem and ethernet adapter running for many hours. I like that you can disable the alarm easily and that it was very straightforward to hook up and power on.

Got this on sale. Power went out for the first time and it just keep everything up without any issues

Easy setup Clean looking Easy management

-nice size -nice display -reasonable price

relatively small for a 2200VA UPS, expandable (with optional battery pack), switchable plugs through serial or USB connected dedicated host.
