Solid UPS, a bit pricey...

Strengths: Large battery, long lifetime, plenty of diagnostic indicators, USB connectivity

Weakness: Extremely heavy, fan can be loud, minimal threshold settings for noisy power environments, pricy.

I have three of these systems connected to linux machines, Macs and one PC. I have only tested the software with the Mac machines, which seems to work adequately. I had difficulty connecting the unit to the PC using the serial port, and have still not successfully done so. I purchased this system in part to replace a 700 which was maxed out with two machines and two flat panels. On the new device...

Great UPS unit

Strengths: Large batteries, long runtime, fan on side vent, USB port, free basic management software

Weakness: APC shipping box is pathetic for this 50lb unit, APC replacement batteries are much more expensive than generic replacements

I purchased the SUA1500 to replace an 8+ year old SUA1000 that served me well. I replaced the batteries 4 times on my prior APC before it died, and have generally had very good experiences with APC, so I chose to purchase APC again. I found a great deal on Pricegrabber and was able to purchase the 1500 for less than a replacement 1000, so it was a nice upgrade. This unit has a few nice...

Smart UPS 1500 is a reasonable value

Strengths: Worked right out of the box. Initial setup was easy. Lots of features for advance users.

Weakness: Mac OS X compatibility limited. Latest features lag in all software for Mac OS X. The interface is very slow with security enabled (Unix, Windows, or Mac).

We often work out of town for long periods. We set up the APC 1500 on a small business network so we could count on the main server to be there when we needed it. We remotely access our server applications to conclude business arrangements. Previous units would shut down after extended power outages and never return when power was restored, thus shutting us down from our applications until we got...

APC Smart-UPS 1500VA

Strengths: USB and Serial,Reliability, Powershute work great just install and go.

Weakness: The Powerchute software can creat newtwork chatter, these features can be turned off

I also received great help from the sales staff before I purchased. This unit has really help out our server and network equipment. We have plenty of lighting storms during the summer. I feel much better knowing that this unit can handle the brown out and power surges we have had.

A great UPS if you shop for a good price.

Strengths: Plenty of backup power, annoying "power failed" beeper can be silenced by software. Software control excellent for remote status/management.

Weakness: Big 'n heavy; you need room for it.

Was able to get it for slightly over $300 delivered. Since it weighs about 50 lbs, make sure you calculate total price including shipping when comparing various dealers. Software installation is optional but I recommend it for the many features to set it up just the way you wish.

APC Smart-UPS 1500VA

Strengths: 8 outlets is great for computer and many hard drives.

Weakness: The unit is heavy due to the large batteries.

I enjoyed my price grabber experience. I was able to find the best price for the unit rather quickly. I did read the reviews of some of the dealers. Definately buyer beware. I did not go with the lowest price due to the negative reviews listed on pricegrabber. I paid slightly more money to insure good service.

Great UPS

Strengths: Lots of power, long runtime, good remote management and diagnostics possible with free software

Weakness: New they are a bit pricey

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. I noticed however that the 1500 is MUCH more quiet from an EMC aspect than the 1000XL is. So I will use the...

Easy Transaction

Strengths: Good price on a good UPS

Weakness: Box was mangeled, but that's shipping companies fault.

Over all an easy transaction. No problems. We still need to install the UPS, but it appears to be in good shape. Would purchase from again.
