This item is SUPER heavy. It's a sleek black color. We live in a rural area, so when it storms we often lose power. This thing has been AMAZING. Charge lasts for a decent time, it comes in handy for sure! It's a way for us to charge electronics, without having to worry about using them while running a generator. We keep it charged up at all times!

I didn't know that these kind of outlets existed until they let me try one out! We used it for our gaming systems and it works amazingly. We thankfully haven't had crazy weather yet but eventually, to test it out even more!

This back-up tower is amazing! We have had a few power outages lately and the battery life on this far surpasses anything we have had before. Kept everything on to give us time to safely power off all devices or even make a phone call last second if need be. It is also the perfect size to fit on any shelf next to router, modem etc. highly recommend this product!!

This is a high performing machine. Designed for durability but lighter than most towers. Efficiency has been streamlined in its design. I am very impressed with this model.

The performance it's great I'm using this in my home office where I have my gaming computer connected , seems very durable and it's something that will last me years. This thing will protect my electronics in case of a power outage which they don't happen often where I live but I feel like it's something worth having just in case. The design is pretty simple multiple plugs can be used for a battery backup

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!!

I use the APC BackUPS 1000 to protect a workstation with 3 monitors and a laptop, and it has been a game changer. Setup was quick and simple, and the LCD display makes it easy to monitor load, battery, and voltage at a glance. During power flickers and brief outages, everything stays on without a hiccup, which gives me so much peace of mind. I also appreciate the number of outlets-plenty of room for monitors, laptop dock, and accessories. It runs quietly, doesn't overheat, and feels very reliable. For anyone running a home office or multiple screens, this UPS is absolutely worth it.

This APC back up couldn't have came at a better time. We recently experienced a power outage due to monsoons here in the valley and Its finals week online via laptop. having this power back up worked out great. The charge is strong and fast, set up is very easy! I was able to continue my coursework while using . I give this a five out of five. I recommend this for all households.

This is such a great item to have at home. I live in LA and wish I had this when we had all the power outages early this year. Brand is super reliable and the item is built to last and is durable. Highly recommend especially if you work from home like myself. Works great and gives you more time on your devices in situations where you lose power.

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.

Unboxing & First Impressions Okay y'all? I finally upgraded my power protection game and grabbed the APC Back-UPS 1000 Compact Tower. This little black tower might not look flashy, but it's seriously a lifesaver for anyone working from home, gaming, or running a mini studio setup like me. ? ? What I Love Most ? Peace of Mind - Whenever the lights flicker or the power cuts out, my PC, Wi-Fi, and monitors keep running. No more mid-stream crashes or losing unsaved edits. ? Smart LCD Screen - I can actually see how much backup time I've got left and how much power I'm using. It's like giving my setup a health monitor. ? 8 Outlets - Perfect for my desk. Four are backed up by the battery, and the others are surge only. I run my desktop, dual monitors, router, and even my ring light through it. ? Automatic Voltage Regulation - Translation: it smooths out those little power dips without even touching the battery. That means my gear stays safe and my battery lasts longer. ? ?? How It's Been Performing I tested it during a short outage (thanks, summer storms ???) and still had plenty of time to save my work and shut down safely. Honestly, I didn't even realize the power had cut until I saw the alert. That's how seamless it was. ? ?? Who This Is For ? Work-from-home crew ??? ? Content creators & streamers ?? ? Gamers who cannot deal with losing progress ?? ? Anyone tired of tech dying at the worst time ? ? Final Take The APC Back-UPS 1000 is like insurance for your electronics-quiet, compact, reliable, and smarter than the average surge protector. It's one of those "why didn't I buy this sooner" investments. If you rely on your tech, this is an absolute must-have. ??

I've had this UPS for two years and it's performed well, but I only recently found out that it is not a sine wave output as I thought when I bought it, but a stepped sine wave. My PC, cable modem and wireless router have worked okay during two power outages, but I'm now worried about stress on them from the stepped sine wave. I contacted APC to request the Total Harmonic Distortion for this unit, but after much digging by support, I was finally told, "We do not have THD values for UPSs with step approximated sinewaves." So there's no way to know how much distortion is on the battery output due to the stepped sine wave, and thus no way to know if there's any stress or gradual long term damage that's being done to connected devices, or to judge what devices should not be connected. While I liked the unit initially, with this disturbing lack of information available on THD, I would recommend NOT buying this, or any other APC stepped sine wave product. Stay with pure sine wave UPSs where the manufacturer (APC or any others) can provide the THD.

I hooked up this UPS to the 3 PCs at my desk and hooked the peripherals up to the surge protection. Perfect timing, because two days later there were severe thunderstorms. The electricity went out twice within an hour. I was in the middle of an important report and, thanks to the APC UPS, I didn't lose my work and all 3 PCs stayed on. This unit is a life-saver, both for my work and for my PCs, which don't like electrical outages! And the price is very good.

I have been a loyal customer for many years. I own several APC units in my condo. When my old APC tower battery died after well over 10 years, I knew it was time to upgrade. I found this little gem at Best Buy. When I researched this unit, it mentioned a battery backup with surge protection, but didn't mention how much surge protection was offered. I am pleased to report that this little unit offers 1,103 Joules protection. This is an incredible value and I highly recommend it.

My grandmother is 96 years old and has to breathe concentrated oxygen constantly. The power in her apartment frequently goes out whenever it storms there, so on several occasions over the years she's found herself suddenly suffocating in the dark and forced to try to open a portable oxygen cylinder with arthritic hands. She has never owned a computer and has no need for one, but her oxygen concentrator draws a significant amount of power. The 900 V/A UPS that I use for my computer only lasted 6 minutes under that load, so after some research I settled on this product. This battery backup still only lasts for 15-20 minutes, so it will not provide continuous power through most blackouts, but it gives her enough time for either neighbors, family, or emergency services to check on her and open an oxygen tank or plug the oxygen machine into a generator with an extension cord. The battery alarm will also immediately let her know she needs help if the power goes out in the middle of the night rather than violently coughing herself awake, which is how she used to find out. This device was put to the test less than a month after I put it in her home. She initially panicked when the lights went out, but realized after 30 seconds that she could still breathe. The UPS worked exactly the way I hoped it would. She was able to remain calm and safe until help arrived. I recommend anyone with elderly relatives to consider something like this as an option, but you will need to do some math first and make sure the volts / amps / watts on whatever you're plugging into it will last long enough on battery power to suit your purposes.

I love the hot swappable batteries and the fact that this protects your data cable port as well as the typical power ports. The battery life is great too!

Best bang for your buck for any home or small office environment. 4 Surge and 4 Battery outlet configuration as well as protection for phone and coax. Power management also works well as does the simple LED readout on the front. Definitely recommended.
