Our Verdict
APC Back-UPS BX1500M: 1500VA/900W, 10 outlets (5 battery + surge), AVR, LCD, 789J surge, ~68 min runtime @100W, USB charging. 13,000+ ratings, 6K+ bought/mo, in stock ~$190.
What We Like
- 1500VA/900W — runs a desktop + NAS
- 10 outlets, 5 with battery backup
- AVR corrects brownouts without draining battery
- 68 min @100W — long enough for outages
- 13,000+ ratings, proven for years
Worth Knowing
- Modified sine? (BX line is stepped — fine for PSUs with APFC)
- Bulky, heavy (7kg)
- Battery needs replacement every 3-5 years
- LCD adds cost vs BX1500M-LED basics
Who Is This For?
Anyone with a desktop PC, NAS, modem/router or TV who loses work or recordings to power cuts and voltage spikes.
The Full Picture
Every home office should have one UPS, and the BX1500M is the model we install by default: 900W of real output runs a gaming PC, NAS and router together, AVR smooths voltage dips, and at 100W load you get over an hour — enough to ride out most outages or shut down cleanly. At 13,000+ ratings and 6K+ sold last month it is the category best seller for a reason.
Bottom Line
The default 1500VA UPS for PCs and NAS — APC BX1500M, 13,000+ ratings.
