In Power Protection

Survived one power outage and kept everything running perfectly. USB ports on the front are actually nice and i use them a fair bit. The little voltage/battery/run time gadget is cool on the desktop. Not much else to say besides that it works for what i need.

Low budget, inexpensive, effective UPS. Integrates nicely with software for Windows-based PC's

Amazing! I live in the country, as in farms and horses, and our power isn't exactly reliable during storms. I spent over $1,600 building a PC and didn't like the idea of it being unprotected. Several recent thunderstorms caused the power to go off and on several times in less than 10 seconds. Not good for a PC. Worked PERFECTLY. It sounds an alarm, and I have more than enough time to power down my PC, even while playing Starcraft II and overclocking.

All the protection one needs, computer related devices, phones, and any device plugged into it. The large space for extra wide power supply's for devices.

It was the exact battery for my unit. Slid it in, plugged the battery in, closed the case, plugged the UPS into the wall. That was it.

I like that it protects everything I have running including my router too. My computer would shut down when I printed something due to my network printer. I have the computer in the battery side and my computer does not shut down anymore. I feel like I am protected better than I have ever been before!

+ APC quality - first and foremost. I've been relying on APC surge protectors at home for over 20 years, and we've been using surge protectors and APC UPS' for more than 10 years at work with our workstations and servers - in all cases, I've never had any issues with any of their products. APC is definitely a trusted and reliable name as far as I'm concerned. All of the systems protected behind APC products have continued to work and be protected with very little hassle. + 3 years repair or replacement warranty, $250,000 lifetime warranty on any equipment connected to the UPS, as well as a lifetime data recovery warranty to provide professional data recovery services if data is lost due to failure of the UPS. That's huge! Not only will they repair or replace the unit for 3 years, but for the life of the unit if it ever fails and you lose your physical equipment, they're going to cover the cost of it AND they're going to help you recover your lost data. + The free APC PowerChute application itself is put together very well. It is a separate piece of the puzzle, and is not absolutely necessary to use - simply from a hardware standpoint, your APC UPS unit will function without the software. However, the software has definite benefits, including more monitoring capability, and will hibernate any equipment connected to the UPS when the battery power is being used and it hits your specified threshhold, in an attempt to minimize data loss. You can grab the download from http://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/products/PowerChute-Personal-Edition-V3-0-2-for-Windows-10-8-7-Vista-XP-Home-Server-Multi-Language-/P-SFPCPE302 and don't forget to hook the USB cable up from the UPS to your PC otherwise the app won't install! + The LCD of the BX1500M is very easy to read, from any angle. I do have another UPS at home, by a rival company, and the LCD is really only readable from straight-on, and not from above, below, or from the sides. The LCD of the BX1500M is excellent. In this regard, if you put the BX1500M under your desk, you can still glance down at the LCD while seated and check its health and load. + Also, the LCD shows quite a few different stats. Aside from the static icons displaying whether you're on AC or battery power, a load graph and a battery life indicator, every time you press the Display button, it cycles through the health shown below the icons. You will see Input voltage, # of power loss/battery events, estimated run time in minutes (based on the equipment connected to the battery protection), Load (of that equipment) in both wattage and percentage, and finally, Output voltage and frequency (in Hz). + The battery itself in the unit is ridiculously easy to replace, and just slides in and out and requires no other connections or terminals. In that regard, they are correct when they claim the battery is "hot swappable" (although you'd still have to lay the UPS on its side to get to the compartment, obviously). Replacement battery is the APC APCRBC124 which is currently $59.72 here at NewEgg. + Aside from battery protection, obviously you have surge protection and the UPS is going to protect your equipment from voltage drops or spikes. You can also connect coax and ethernet cords to protect your WAN or LAN connections with the UPS as well.

Easy to setup and the instructions are excellent. My last UPS battery crapped out and did not have the feature to replace it. So this UPS does have that capability, so was one of the features in my decision.

Fairly small - this was needed for the location these were being installed Powerful enough - they are only covering 1 PC and 1 other piece of equipment on each. Only need to last 45 seconds before house generator kicks in.

its a surge protector

- Works as advertised, supports my mid-range PC with dual monitor setup long enough to save, close my work & shutdown when outages/fluctuations occur - power supplied to my devices plugged in remains consistent & entirely uninterrupted - Has lived through over a dozen power flickers & full on outages in my small town which is notorious for frying household appliances with our terrible power company (in southern Ontario, Canada) - Alarm when wall power is lost and UPS has kicked on can be turned off/on - Alarm, when on, is not excessively loud - the word alarm makes you think it will be screaming at you but it's comparable to a microwave button beep, probably a little bit quieter - When alarm is turned off, it still makes a very audible click when kicking on due to external power being cut off, so unless you have closed headphones or are blasting music you'll probably know the power went out if you didn't have any other indicator (like you had your lights off in your room mid-day or something) and can begin shutting your stuff off

- Great packaging, fast delivery.

Big enough Battery to never have to worry about a little power lose. Keeps my Router and NAS powered up during power outages.

Powerful, well made and with numerous outlets and great features

Well, it's a surge suppressor that's cheap. That, and it works. Good joule rating, etc. for such a low price, and so far it's done well.

This UPS was a great solution to support networking equipment (modem, router, switch) that I installed in my basement. It has lots of outlets and the size of the unit was perfect for mounting on the network wall panel.

Excellent OEM batt

Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!
