Customers are saying

Customers admire the Back-UPS Pro BX1000M-LM60 1KVA Tower UPS for its long battery life, ease of use, and reliable performance, frequently praising the clear display and compact size. However, some users found the closely spaced outlets inconvenient and noted that the price point might be a concern for some. A few also mentioned the unit's weight and audible alarm as potential drawbacks.

    Item was returned. I had just purchased it and two days later the power went out. It only lasted 30 minutes. The only devices plugged in were a DVR and a small monitor for the camera system.

      Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. I apologize that the runtime wasn't long as expected. The runtime may be lower because the equipment connected to the UPS pulls more power than expected. To get 30 minutes of runtime from this UPS the load would be at around 140 watts. If the load is much lower than that please do not hesitate to reach out to an APCbySchneider support team. We would be happy to assist you in resolving any issues with our units.

    Bought two of these. One was fine, second one had a high pitched whine to it as soon as we set it up. Returned the whiney one for a 3rd one. 29 days later {thankfully barely still within the return policy} the first one just full out died. Wouldn't power up at all... Hoping the replacement we got for the whiney one holds up but I'm done with these.

      Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. I am sorry to hear that you ran into issues with our unit. There is a chance that the UPS is becoming overloaded if the load connected to the UPS is drawing more than 600 watts of power. I would just make sure that the load is under this. If it is is and you are still having issues with the UPS please reach out to an APCbySchneider support team. We offer email and chat services through our support site.

      Thank you for taking the time to review. The runtime would depend on how much wattage the connected equipment is drawing. There is a chance that the equipment is pulling more than expected. The BX1000M-LM60 would provide 4 minutes of runtime at full capacity, 600 watts. At half capacity, 300 watts, the runtime would be around 13 minutes. APC

      Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. I am sorry to hear that the runtime wasn't expected. The runtime may be lower because the power draw may be higher than expected. If you are getting 5 minutes of runtime the power draw of the devices should be around 450 watts. The typical recharge time would be around 12 hours but the first time the unit is powered up it can take 24hours to fully charge. If the UPS continues to take 24hours to charge or the power draw is much lower than 450 watts please do not hesitate to reach out to an APCbySchneider support team.

    Horrible shipping and item was open box

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I received an open box item. I wouldn't mind but usually open box are sold at a lower price, that is not what i bought. The shipping box was falling apart, the actual box in which the battery came was somewhat beat up also. This is not about the performance of the actual battery I was just so mad that shipping was so careless.
