APC Back-UPS Pro 1000VA UPS, 600W Battery Backup & Surge Protector, AVR, 8 Outlets (NEMA 5-15R), LCD Display, BX1000M Uninterruptible Power Supply for Computers, Wi-Fi Routers, Home Office Electronics

I use this inline with my Starlink system. I purchased over a year ago and just now had my second power outage. Both times the Power backup happened seamlessly. The stability of my internet connection was good enough to maintain phone calls via wifi. This provides volage regulation for a bunch of outlets but we rarely use it for that. This UPS lives in my garage and has been placed inside of a clear plastic tote. The display is large and clear enough for me to read it on the top shelf through the tote.

Upgraded an older APC 650 with this unit. One reason was to have the higher capacity since I do game with this computer. The UPS works perfect and it is nice having the display to show the metrics which include runtime, load and how many times its kicked in. Somewhat expensive but helps with piece of mind since my power has issues from time to time. Not too heavy and smaller than I expected.

***Edit*** Product had an issue with internal hardware failure as of November 2019, some 6 months after initial purchase. I contacted APC support one day later, and had a replacement unit free of charge 4 days after my initial unit's failure. I was treated very well by customer support and will continue to recommend APC's products as they will stand by their products warranties and will ensure their customers are taken care of. Very happy that I purchased this product from APC, even if my particular unit experienced an uncommon failure. ***End Edit*** Surge protection and battery backup for my personal computer at home. So far I have only needed the battery backup once for a power outage, and it handled it like a champ. Power went out, but my computer stayed on to allow me to save my work and shut down properly. The on screen display showed me that, with my current hardware could run on the battery for about 40 minutes before shutting down, which is great. I'm sure that this will prove to be a good investment moving forward.

Every winter we have a couple power outages (trees falling on powerlines). I have a couple NAS and I would hate it if I loose the data because of improper shutdowns. So go this unit, connected 2 nas and 1 router. Nas will shut down properly when battery level get low. Display showed 77 minutes power. Saw the indoor lights blinking ones and instantly got an email from my nas to tell me about the (in this case very short) outage. So far so good.

I made it with just over 5 years of great performance from this UPS, then the battery needed replacing. The official APC battery for this model is not available on Amazon so I bought a different brand and it turned out to be a dud: despite showing a full charge it did not power the UPS when the power went out. This happened three times and then i’d had enough. So I went to the APC website to buy an official battery and it has been over a month and it still hasn’t shipped. So if you purchase this unit keep in mind that when the battery needs to be replaced it is likely going to mean you need to buy a new UPS because you may not be able to find a suitable battery replacement.

Always a fan of APC brand UPS Backup, pretty reliable. I have two other but this is the first one this size. The screen is a nice ti=ouch, lets you know power usage.

Barely lasted 2 months. Within the first week of owning it I was rudely awakened by an extremely loud alarm, and unplugging it would not shut it off. I finally figured out to silence it you have to push down on the "silence" button for 30 seconds, which doesn't sound long but having to press a button that long while the thing is screaming at you is very annoying. I wish this was the only time this occurred but it became an almost weekly occurrence. I told myself I was going to return it the next time it happened but it randomly stopped. The error code it was giving me each time the alarm was triggered was F06. Which the manuals vague description lists as: "serious internal fault". When unboxing this you receive a certificate showcasing it surpassed stress testing in a facility prior to being packaged so there should not be any excuse for a faulty product, but none the less I went to turn it on this evening after a long hard day at work to relax on my PC and this garbage can with a battery attached to it won't even turn on now. Oh! I'm an electrician btw, so I've already tested my current residence to make sure every circuit in the home is properly bonded and grounded prior to ever plugging it in. Waste of money, look for a different brand, I know I will on my next purchase.

I love the screen which shows what is going on. We recently have had high winds which have caused brown outs and power outages. Before I had this backup, I lost a computer to an erratic brown out. A standard surge protector didn't work. Within a week of having this battery backup another storm caused the same scenario. This time my new computer stayed powered up and I was able to watch on the panel of this unit, the line voltage drop and rise several times before being restored. The front panel also showed that I was only using 20% load. So this unit can obviously can handle more than just one device. I would definitely recommend this to anyone living where power fluctuations occur.
