UPS Back-UPS Pro 1000VA Sinewave UPS, 600W Battery Backup & Surge Protector, AVR, 10 Outlets, LCD, USB-C & USB-A Charging Ports, BR1000MS Uninterruptible Power Supply for Computers, Electronics

I recently purchased the APC UPS 1000VA Sine Wave Battery Backup and Surge Protector, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This unit provides 1000VA / 600W of pure sine wave output, ensuring that all connected devices receive clean and stable power. The inclusion of Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) is a standout feature, as it instantly corrects voltage fluctuations without resorting to battery power, thereby extending the battery's lifespan. The UPS comes equipped with 10 outlets, allowing me to connect multiple devices simultaneously. Additionally, the two USB charging ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) are incredibly convenient for keeping my mobile devices charged. The LCD display is user-friendly, providing real-time information on power status, load capacity, and battery runtime. The user-replaceable battery design is a thoughtful touch, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance. Since integrating this UPS into my setup, I've experienced uninterrupted performance, even during power fluctuations. It's a reliable and essential addition to any home or office environment. I highly recommend the APC UPS 1000VA Sine Wave Battery Backup and Surge Protector for anyone seeking dependable power protection.

Open the fully recyclable box (except the film bag), remove the UPS. Big yellow sticker on the side shows you how to connect the battery. Easy to access dual-sealed lead-acid batteries; it should be simple to have a local shop replace them in 5 years when they start running low on capacity. All outlets on the back, over half for battery back up and another several for surge protection only. Includes protection for F-type RF cables (for your cable modem) and a pair of Gig-E ports (also I assume for protection of your inbound to internal internet connection). A third RJ45 port connects to a special RJ-45 to USB cable to connect to your Windows machine, and from there you can set up the software to control the UPS, monitor the power, battery, and set shutdown times when the battery gets low during a power outage. Software is functional if not beautiful, and free download from APC. Small - fits well beside my tiny desk. Easy to shut off the display and beeper from the front panel or software. Nice, as the unit is in my bedroom and I'd rather not have a bright LED screen on all the time. A quality battery backup at a fair price from a reputable company. Will buy again (this is my second one actually - bought a smaller one for the router and cable modem)

APC quality, and plenty of power protection for my home NAS. No more worries about power fluctuation or outages.

was purchased to supply power to PC and house router, we have VOIP phone and wanted to insure phone continued to work properly during power outage. everything worked fine out of box, nice display showing load and status of UPS. Backup function worked great no loss of internet, PC, or Phone on power loss. One afternoon while at computer there was a loud pop and the UPS went down along with the PC, router and phone system.. There was no power failure, other devices in the house continued to work fine. UPS would not come back up, computer and router were still fine when plugged directly into AC power outlet. Called support, described situation. After walking thru some basic troubleshooting they are replacing unit. Would give tech support a 5 star, Hope the new one lasts longer. Update - received replacement in 24hours. Installed and operational now for over 4 months, no further problems. Highly recommend, They stand behind the product.

It works great, but having the LED on generates a really annoying coil whine. Fortunately you can turn it off by holding down the menu button for a few seconds.

I get a lot of power blips, wind, rain, snow, random blip, all this stuff… this keeps my power to my WiFi going. Also I don’t think it’s great on electronics these power drops and flick ons. This unit protects from all that nonsense. I don’t know how long it will last. Since I got these and they seemed to fix the power grid on my road I haven’t needed to get my generator out. But these things been working for at least 20 minutes but mileage will vary based on how much load you are putting in this. But I love uninterrupted power…

1-20-23: One of the two APC UPS 1000VA Sine Wave UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protectors mentioned below has yet another failed battery. This is its 3rd failed battery within its warranty period. APC by Schneider agreed to replace the battery under warranty. But the company *also* said they don't have it in stock, and it will take around 5 or even 6 weeks to arrive because they don't have it in stock. That takes the unit out of service because it does not fulfill its advertised purpose. The second tech rep with whom I talked said to continue using the unit as surge protector, without relying upon its battery backup. Of course that defeats the advertised purpose of the UPS. Shop other brands is what I recommend. APC by Schneider is but a shadow of its formerly effective company. I've had fair experience with CyberPower Systems, and I've also seen good, written recommendations of Tripp Lite. Update 9-13-21: I'd bought two of these APC Smart-UPS BR1000MS units and put both into service within three months of each other. The one about which I'm writing now has been in use for around 2 3/4 years on a PC and the UPS has just failed, twice. The first failure was when it shut completely off, lights out -- while booting the computer -- and while still having wall power. The second failure, three days later, was when the APC unit declared there was zero battery remaining although it was receiving electricity from a Honda backup generator designed for sensitive electronics. After turning the UPS back on, and testing it without a load, within 60 seconds the unit counted down from 79 minutes runtime to 0 minutes. Then the UPS itself completely off, lights out, powering itself down. If those were the only two challenges, they might be acceptable if APC by Schneider could replace the UPS quickly. But when I phoned them a second time after the second failure of the same UPS, they said that tech diagnosis and support were not available although I talked to a live human. So I had to wait an additional day to talk with a live human. On a third telephone call, APC agreed to ship and deliver a replacement UPS within 3 to 5 business days. In addition to these things, when I talked with APC's tech the first time, four days ago, he gave me a case number, and said I'd receive e-mails about the case. The e-mails never arrived. *If* APC delivers a new replacement unit within the time frame it promised, then I might consider their UPS gave a reasonable service life for what was paid for it, in an area with periodic brownouts or blackouts. The APC Smart-UPS BR1000MS powering another machine, an iMac, has performed steadily and without incident, using the same wall power and infrequent Honda backup generator during blackouts. Original review March 2020: Bought a second one of these specifically for use with an older iMac because our locale has comparatively frequent brownouts and power outages. This model BR1000MS is said to have clean sine wave output and power conditioning, which would mean less issues in user support. The iMac's user listens to and watches a fair bit of audio and visual media, and also connects a set of wireless headphones to their computer. Apple's desktop software has an Energy Saver function which allows simple configuration of run times. APC does not have power management software for Macs at this writing.

I originally got this back in September 2019. This device made the Snowpocalypse of 2021 more bearable by being a source to power my phone during a few hours-long blackouts (24 hours total). And of course it helped through much shorter blackouts by maintaining my connectivity. It's now March 2026 and I started hearing the endless beeping indicating a dead battery today. That's 6.5 years of battery life - not bad. I'm very happy with this level of performance and I'm ordering the battery replacement now (APCRBC160), which is roughly half the price of a new unit. Totally worth it.
