Great unit [Posted on 2008-10-01]
Seems to be a pretty solid unit. It has logged 26 "events" in the few weeks since I've had it. I'm not sure all of these were significant enough to interrupt my PC operation, but some of them were.
I think I overbought. I have a MacPro with 3 external hard drives, a Neat Receipts scanner, and two MFC devices hooked up (one laser, one inkjet). It only requires 22% of the power (with both printers in energy saver mode). The software to shutdown is Mac OS X 10.5.5 compatible and seems to work o.k. I haven't pulled the power and waited to see if it would power off the machine in an orderly way, but I assume it works. I will test it some time.
The unit says 24 minutes of run time available if I lost power. Given I'm only using 22% of capacity, this is disappointing; however, practically speaking, this is fine. I mainly wanted to avoid damage, and avoid going down for those constant "blips" that make me reset a bunch of clocks in the house when the power loss lasts only a few seconds or less. And practically speaking, I just want time for an orderly shutdown if I am going to lose power for more than a few minutes.
I might buy a smaller unit if I had to do it over again, but I have no complaints about this unit.
Great Product - Saved my computer system twice already. [Posted on 2008-10-14]
I purchased this to protect my iMac and other computer accessories from power drops and surges. So far the LCD indicator is showing two instances that it saved me. Before I had just a battery backup and i lost my:
*modem
*router
*harddrive
Buying another one Soon!!! My 50" plasma took a drop in voltage and broke. Wish I had the APC on that before hand.
I definitely recommend this product.
8 Outlett review [Posted on 2008-10-24]
I use this for one of my servers. The extra outlets are great and the new digital monitoring is nice too.
Super Protection [Posted on 2008-10-30]
My APS Back-UPS 1500 does its job very well. It replaced 4 older & smaller units. I have 3 computers, 1 monitor, a DSL Modem/Router, and a printer connected to it. Thanks to the aftereffects of Ike, the Back-UPS has been tested several times. It gives me at least 19 minutes to complete my work and shut the system down. That is much better than the maximum of 5 minutes with the older system.
Excellent BR1500LCD! [Posted on 2008-11-09]
I've used Tripplite, Belkin, and now the APC BR1500LCD. It is by far the best designed, best made, most compact battery backup I've used, and the LCD display is excellent, showing lots of useful information. After trying out one, we have bought three more BR1500s. I highly recommend APC!
