Easy UPS BVX1600LI

Delivered as promised. It certainly lights up when you plug it in, and power goes through it to the (up to 4) units connected. There is only 1 power cord supplied though. So it seems to work but its true worth hasn’t been tested by a power cut yet. Build quality seems solid. It’s easy to set up and it does buzz a little and it is permanently lit up with large bright green lights. Not something for the bedroom!

I purchased this as APC has always been a brand with a good reputation. However, this has let me down. Not only did it arrive with a European plug and required me to spend another £12 getting one for the UK, this unit has now completely failed after 1.5 years. The alarm started to sound continuously (NOT a power cut), and is now completely dead. Total waste of money. Needless to say I will not be purchasing from APC ever again!

As a UPS this works great. I have it as a back up for 2 PCs and a phone system. The 1 downside and the reason for 4 stars is that it only comes with an European plug. I didn't see it referenced in the listing and had read the reviews saying it lacked a UK plug.

Tried other brands, waste of money. This is the second one I have. For some reason my Unifi home network has a doozy upto 20 times a day, saying something or other has dropped off. Turns out my power is unstable for its delicate circuits. Not any more, all good. Even worked for over half an hour with a power outage. Not much power required but did the trick

This is a solid, well-built UPS, reassuringly weighty at over 15 kg. It feels robust and is slightly longer but shorter in height compared with the older APC unit it replaced. Unfortunately, there are some big drawbacks for UK buyers: * Wrong power cable supplied – The unit ships only with a European-style mains lead, making it unusable out of the box. You’ll need a UK 3-pin to IEC C19 cable, not the standard “kettle lead” many of us have spares of. This oversight cost me an extra £10 and delayed installation by a full day. At this price point, APC should know better—UK mains plugs are not optional. * Very limited functionality – There is no connectivity at all. That means you cannot: • Use PowerChute software to configure thresholds, check battery health, or run self-tests • View logs of power cuts or expected runtime under load • Disable the buzzer or bright green front-panel lighting • Integrate with PC/server power management software for automatic shutdowns Instead, you’re left with just a single button on the front panel. It works, but compared with APC’s more advanced units, it feels stripped back and basic. On the plus side, once powered up it performs reliably, and the gentle operating buzz isn’t too intrusive. Verdict: At half the normal price, it’s just about worth it as a budget UPS. But the missing UK power lead is an unnecessary frustration, and the lack of management features makes it unsuitable for more serious setups like servers. APC really need to get their act together on the power lead.

Good little UPS that has sat quietly and done it's job. Superb customer service from the manufacturer when it decided not to be quiet and started emitting a continuous beep. I rang them up and the very helpful tech solved the problem within 10 minutes on an 0800 number and is checking back with me in a fortnight to confirm the unit is okay. The problem was almost certainly down to electricity works at the back of our building rather than the UPS. Highly recommended.

Good but no display to show remaining battery power. Beeps every 60 seconds when no mains input but this is easily disabled with quick press of the button. Lack of remaining power is a big miss. How much does a strip of 10 LEDs cost ?

The product works as it is supposed to, I guess. However instead of a standard kettle lead connector it has a custom connector and is supplied with a single European plug. Not much use in the UK. And of course it is impossible to get a lead from anywhere. If you are going to supply to the UK then provide a UK lead. If you can't do that then at least use a standard kettle lead connector that absolutely everything else uses. I was tempted to just send this back and get something else but of course I modified the lead with a UK plug which I guess these days is completely verboten. To add insult to injury it runs incredibly hot and fills the room with the smell of melting plastic.

Buon prodotto, UPS a doppia conversione con onda sinusoidale pura. Purtroppo è troppo rumoroso (50 db ad 1 metro), la ventola è sempre in funzione non solamente quando è in carica la batteria o se manca la corrente o se c’è un elevato carico elettrico. Purtroppo la ventilazione non è escludibile cosa confermata dal supporto tecnico. Consiglio l’acquisto solo se le caratteristiche tecniche sono strettamente necessarie e il rumore non è un problema dove viene collocato. In un normale studio non può stare! Ho avviato il reso. Do 4 stelle perché il prodotto è molto buono, peccato che non venga specificato da nessuna parte, nemmeno sul manuale il livello del rumore.

Ürün kötü koku yapıyordu. 3 gün havalandırdım geçmedi. Aküden çalışırken de çok yüksek elektrik sesi veriyordu. Memnun kalmadım geri iade ettim.

Ho acquistato l'UPS APC 900 VA – BVX900LI per proteggere i miei dispositivi elettronici e devo dire che sono estremamente soddisfatto della mia scelta. Questo UPS è molto efficiente nel garantire continuità di alimentazione durante i blackout e le interruzioni di corrente, permettendomi di lavorare senza interruzioni e di proteggere i miei dati preziosi. La configurazione è stata semplice e veloce. Il software incluso è intuitivo e mi permette di monitorare facilmente lo stato della batteria e il consumo di energia. Le dimensioni compatte lo rendono perfetto per spazi ridotti e il design moderno si integra bene con l'arredamento del mio ufficio domestico. L'unica nota negativa riguarda le luci a LED sul dispositivo. Sono piuttosto luminose e, se utilizzato in una camera da letto, possono risultare fastidiose durante la notte. Per chi, come me, è sensibile alla luce durante il sonno, potrebbe essere necessario coprire le luci o posizionare l'UPS in un luogo dove non disturbi. In conclusione, l'UPS APC 900 VA – BVX900LI è un prodotto di alta qualità che offre un'ottima protezione per i dispositivi elettronici. Nonostante le luci LED troppo luminose, consiglio vivamente questo UPS per la sua affidabilità e facilità d'uso.

Gekauft, weil meine alte USV nicht genügend Leistung hatte, um die neue Grafikkarte mitzubedienen und schon bei mittlerer Last anfing hektisch zu piepen. Da ich auf die Monitoringfunktionen nicht angewiesen bin, sondern nur gelegentliche Stromschwankungen und seltene kurze Stromunterbrechungen ausgleichen will, passt sie perfekt und hat auch genügend Leistung für alle angeschlossenen Geräte. Mich persönlich stört die Beleuchtung nicht, da der PC selbst so eine Art Mini-Disco ist, aber man sollte halt wissen, dass sie da ist und auch soweit ich gesehen habe, nicht ausgeschaltet werden kann.

Den saknar USB för notifiering till PC samt kräver lite specialkablar som inte ingår, bland annat nätkabel! Kan man leva med det så är den trevlig. Jo en sak till, den brummar inte helt lågt...
