Product Series: RS
Alarm: Low Battery
Strengths: Great quality, easy to setup, reliable !
Weakness: Very tall, needs to be placed where it won't get bumped causing it to tip over !
I would only recommend this unit if you are also getting the BR24BP battery pack to use with it for the extra battery run time. If you don't need the extra battery runtime you may want to consider purchasing the APC BR1500LCD, it has a lower profile and is wider and it is very unlikely that it would ever fall over even if something bumped it. The APC BR1500 along with the BR24BP battery pack is...
Strengths: Very quiet and good management software
Weakness: Would be good if it was a bit wider to prevent it from falling over.
This UPS is very quiet and has great software managing it. Good design as far as keeping fat plugs enough space to utilize all battery backup outlets as well as surge outlets. Long lasting battery backup for two of my machines. Surge protection for phone and voice over IP.
Strengths: -No hum or whine as in other UPS units. -Fantastic Up-time when power drops or goes out. -More than enough sockets for anything including large AC adapters.
Weakness: -Relatively heavy (even though I don't move it as often as other people might). -Only one color (very minor concern if it's under a desk).
I run my entire home office off this one UPS. That includes about 12 peripherals, phones, lights, clocks, chargers, routers, modems, and other items. Even with all of these running at once and draining the battery, I get about 15 minutes to put my affairs in order and save all active work while the power is out. I was in the middle of a phone converstaion one day on my land line over a cordless...
Strengths: high-end, multi-device protection for mid-range price
Weakness: front cover won't snap back on properly; included Power Chute Personal Edition CD contains an outdated version of the program
I decided to purchase this product after six months of positive experience with a Back-UPS RS 800 I use with a stand alone system. The RS 1500, unlike the 800 and 1000 models, includes an expansion slot for adding a second battery if necessary, giving built-in expandability. However, I don't need it because even with an 18" LCD monitor, a full tower Pentuim 4 HT PC (with every drive bay and PCI...
Strengths: Plenty of backup time, no glitches when power goes down
Weakness: None
With a 480 watt power supply, raided drives, a wireless / 4 port router with built in print server, a cable modem, a 19" monitor, and 90 watt 7.1 surround speakers, the RS1500 comes through with flying colors. Unplug the power source and there are no glitches, flashes on the screen...nothing. An absolutely smooth as silk transition to the battery and back. The software is easily customized to...
Strengths: It works as it should.
Weakness: Although this may not be considered a weakness, it would be nice if, during a power outage, it could be started without AC power if needed. If you think about it, why shouldn't it?
After having two brownouts and a 4 hour power loss here in Chicago, I decided to get a UPS. I chose APC because of their reputation and purchased the RS 1500 for its larger capacity to power my 12 monitors (that's right, 12) in case of an emergency and was not disappointed. A watched pot never boils, so of course I had to pull the plug to find out if it would perform, and it did. Although the...
Strengths: Easy to install
Weakness: Capacity only 865w
The item is very heavy. Be careful when you carry it. Best if a handle can be designed to carry this item. When logging into the computer, the APC software stays on your screen for a long time. It's kind of annoying.
I am luck to buy it before a suddent power failure. It saved my data and protected my computer. Last time as I didn't have UPS, I losed my power supply because of a power failure. It is reliable, I think, because APC is the best brand of the ups.
Strengths: Previous one lasted 6 to 7 years! PC interface. Room for AC adapters.
Weakness: None
I bought BR1500 as an upgrade Trade-UPS sometime in 2003 or 2004. It's been so long I cannot remember! It's now 2010!!! But it lasted all these years (without a battery replacement). Finally purchasin

Whether you live in New York or California, power outages are a real possibility. And if you live somewhere between the Left and Right Coasts, between ice storms and thunderstorms, there is a chance that Mother Nature could take a serious swipe at your computer. Granted, the odds of a power surge destroying your computer are about the same as being struck by lighting, but it does happen. But...

fire in the hole!
Strengths: worked great for 3.5 years
Weakness: just caught on FIRE!
I bought the BR1500 in march 06. it worked great until today Dec21 2009 when without any warning of any kind it exploded internally with a loud crack. All power died instantly and when I look down at it, I could see the orange glow of a fire through the front vents under my desk. In it's defense the power is quite dirty around here and the fire quickly burned itself out. Because I still have the...
