I'll Be Right Back -- Power Users Have Solid Back-UPS

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: Power users with multiple computers/monitors will like its 865 Watts of power...even if it only shuts down 1 computer with elegance. It's quiet, reliable and works as promised.
Review: The APC Back-UPS RS-1500VA (BR1500) Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)is a power user's dream -- almost.

It seems there isn't a single UPS unit anywhere you can find that has all of the features you want. This unit is aimed at business...

Good but not perfect

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great for a single user/system, but lacks network shutdown ability.
Review: 1500VA of protected power at this price is phenomenal, especially when its APC quality. In addition to protecting AC powered equipment, this UPS also has surge suppression for phone/DSL lines and for your ethernet LAN. Not only will it protect...

Not for sensitive equipment

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: Do not buy the RS1500 (BR1500) for use with sensitive equipment.
Review: 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...

Cheap & Powerful but not very manageable.

Date of Review:  May 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: good if you need basic power backup. if you want to be NOTIFIED during the night or while away that power is off you might look elsewhere.
Review: 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...

High quality protection at a good cost.

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2004
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...

Don't Even Think About This One!

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2004
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...
