APC 1000VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector with AVR LCD UPS Back UPS Pro Series, BX1000M

Living in the middle of a 35,000-acre state park that is full of bears can be an adventure, especially when power outages occur frequently. This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) makes it a lot easier to cope with the darkness and potential damages that can result from power losses. We leave our computers on 24 hours a day, so when we lose power, having this UPS installed and online to prevent data loss is essential. And its controls not only let you turn it on and off but if the beeping alarm is no longer needed you can turn it off and being able to view status screens when needed is also an on and off feature.

great battery backup solution for my electronics and network equipment

I had one of these for about 15 years. I replaced the battery every 5 years and it worked fine until it finally died. So I bought another one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This back-UPS box is a great piece of equipment to have, especially during hurricane season in Florida. I work from home and there's tons of power outages lasting for a variety of time frames. This box will ensure a steady stream of power to my computer so I don't have to miss any time off. With the computer set up I have, I should get around 30 minutes of power. I did test this box on my laptop and my TV for about 10 minutes and they powered perfectly. I will probably get another one for my bedroom.

We keep it charged up at all times!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having the APC Back UPS 1000 for peace of mind and I already feel more secure knowing my devices are protected. Even though I haven't had to rely on it during a power outage yet, the idea behind this product is exactly what I wanted. It is built to keep computers, routers, and other electronics running smoothly if the power goes out and the automatic voltage regulation gives me confidence that my devices are protected from surges and fluctuations. The LCD display is a huge plus because it makes it easy to see battery levels and connected load at a glance. I also like that it comes with PowerChute software to help with automatic PC shutdown if there is an extended outage. Having eight outlets is very convenient and gives me plenty of space for my setup. The alarms and status notifications are thoughtful features and I appreciate that they can be muted if needed. One downside is that it is heavy, but that also makes it feel solid and reliable. For the level of protection it offers, I think the weight is worth it. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and feel confident that when I do need it, it will perform exactly as promised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, I'm really excited to get to review something that has to do with technology! This is a SOLID item. It is SO heavy and well made. It was very easy to set up- just have to pop the cover up, pull the battery out and connect two wires. Finally, you will plug this bad boy in and push the power button. It has ample ports for all of your needs and I couldn't love it more. I love knowing that in SWFL, with all of our storms, that I can power these computers up and use my hotspot if need be! We are sometimes out of power for weeks at a time- so this was such a great item to be gifted for an honest review. I will have to come back during a storm and let you know how well it held up/protected our devices- but so far, this product is very promising and I do recommend!!
