The APC batteries work great. I have a set running at the house that are 3 years plus. They have saved my 2 systems several times during outages and power fluctuations. Don't lose a system to a power outage, no problems and amazingly easy to install.

Snapped one up for the unbelievable low price of $40 at a local hamfest, thinking it would probably not work and would at the least require a battery replacement. Would you believe it turned out everything works like a champ! I already had a smartUPS model 1000XL which still serves me well.

Lots of power; long runtime; good remote management and diagnostics possible with free software

New they are a bit pricey

Not the cheapest, but the management software and range of features make it a winner

To the guy who said you need a 208 volt output and a **50 AMP** circuit I'm pretty sure he clicked on the wrong link or is confusing this model for a different model. I own one and I'm ordering another.

Sine wave output; Supported by OSX

Price; UPSes are like toilet paper; There is nothing glamorous about them and to be honest I HATE spending money on something like this but if you value your data, it's a requirement; I've had this specific model for a few years; My power requirements have grown a bit so I'm ordering a second

I use it for my Dell Studio XPS 9100 computer, 21.5" monitor, router, cable modem, speakers, printer. It represents less then 20% load for the UPS (115 W). I had couple of power outages recently. UPS worked great. I was left with 42 minutes of battery power.

Quiet operation; Very powerful; All features work as advertised; Very useful disaplay of parameters like current load, time left (in battery operation

None so far

Businesses that can't afford to lose IT operations need to protect their critical systems from power problems. APC's Smart-UPS 1500 can look after multiple servers and associated networking equipment in a small business environment, and at just over $1000 for a near kilowatt UPS it looks good value.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Compact; Discreet; Easy To Setup; Quiet; Runs Cool

Hard to turn on or off

i have the non- rack mount version of this apc. works great and does what it is supposed to do.

I use this to power the router, NAS, iMac and IP phone in my office at home. It is ESSENTIAL as we frequently have mini powercuts being rural. HIGHLY recommended. I think I get about 30 mins from it under full load. Wouldn't be without one.
