Pros Comes with all the cables you would expect. Software is excellent. LCD adds to value. Cons APC website has a chart showing battery runtime under various loads. from Pcnation.com if it lasts as long as it should it will work out out to a great product. Software is easy to use and with power out this works perfectly. Share this Review: Review?2?for?APC Back-UPS RS 1500 LCD - UPS - 865 Watt - 1500 VA 120 V UPS System Overall: 4 [RATINGOF] 5 Reviewed by: Crown88 Location: Millbrae Duration of product use: Less than a month Level of expertise: Average Title: Good Backup for your new computer and big monitor Date:?June 12, 2009 Pros:?Connecting with Friends, Video Editing, Gaming, Music & Movies, Finances ReviewIf you have a desktop, you need this type of backup, because new powerful computer require much more electricity then the old one, then you need to include the power need of your 22" or bigger Monitor. from Dell.com Pros: Solid built unit, battery came with about a 70% charge and system could easily handle a system with a 750 watt PS and 2 x 20" LCD monitors. I have trusted and used APC UPS for years now and trust their products. from Newegg.com I've had several APC UPS products over the past 10 years. Only one failed, right at the end of the warranty and APC shipped a replacement immediately after a quick call to their tech support. from Amazon.com APC BR1500LCD 1500VA 865 Watts 8 Outlets BACK-UPS My original unit failed immediately out of the box. from Amazon.com I am a computer consultant. We always recommend APC SmartUPS products for our clients to use with the servers, but one client balked at the price of those units in the power rating they needed. They have a "white box" clone server and a Dell Power Edge 800, and purchased two of these units, one for each server, because the power in their office had been unreliable. from Amazon.com Pros: Voltage, Wattage, Load Status, Power Status monitoring build right in. The best part about this UPS is the fact that the LCD provides you with everything you generally would ever really need. APC's Guarantee and Warranty is to die for, the fact that even after the warranty period has expired, APC has had a good history of continueing to support their product. from Newegg.com Pros: More than enough power for my outages, peace of mind that my equipment isn't going to get damaged from my less-than-reliable grid... Cons: Found this identical product for $40 cheaper at a local big box store a month later... Other Thoughts: APC is the brand I trust in; never had a bad product from them and will continue to buy them in the future. Probably will buy another for my other computers. from Newegg.com Pros: Price, LCD Monitor is informative and can see how much power I am using. I am only using the unit for power protection on critical devices as I have been having brownouts more and more often. from Newegg.com I have always liked APC products ... I had another backUps that was starting to die (after 12-years and a couple of battery changes). from Amazon.com
