Pros Price, Capacity, Footprint, Appearance, Outlets
Cons Poor power quality
Recommended it? No

I bought the RS1500 (BR1500) because I had an older APC Backup-UPS Pro 1400 that worked great and the RS1500 appeared to be a good combination of price and capacity. And the RS1500 appeared to work well until I installed an application that used Windows' DirectDraw capability. Then, every time when... Read full review »

1500VA of protected power at this price is phenomenal, especially when its APC quality.

Not only will it protect against surges and noise, this one will also protect... Read full review »

Pros cheap, lots of power
Cons not very manageable or compatible with APC software (Biz edition)
Recommended it? Yes

decent ups. we got a slew of them plus the add on battery pack to run a small server rack (4 servers 3 routers, 1 powered/voip) cuz it was more cost effective (longer run time per dollar by about thrice) than getting a rack mount for the same price(or 3 rack mounts to achieve same run time. so...

Have you heard the saying that there are really only two kinds of computer users? The kind who have had a total system failure, and the kind who will.

There are any number of reasons why your computer might crash, from a failed hard drive to your child spraying Windex into the cdrom (no... Read full review »

I first bought one of these a few months back when the hurricanes were coming through FL. I am sure glade I did, as the power went out numerous times. Any techi knows that power related issues are the number one cause of computer hardware failure.

This unit not only protects against... Read full review »

I have owned APCC UPSes for many years and this is the first model that has been a lemon. I bought it through the APCC Trade-ups program because the RS 1000 was such a nice performer. The first RS1500 they sent me had a loud crackling noise coming from the back when it switched over to battery... Read full review »
