Easy UPS BVX700LI

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’ve gone through 3 of these in 2 years. Out of the blue the battery completely dies. A long beep is heard, and all my devices go offline, despite there being no power cut. My network would’ve been online more reliably if I hadn’t ever installed this UPS.

This gives me peace of mind to protect my two mac computers. My home office is not very large and the ups unit had a electric smell that has more or less gone now. It gives me time to safely shut down during a power cut.

I've only just recently bought this UPS despite eyeing a UPS up for a while now. I wasn't as prepared as I should have been, so hopefully this review will help you to be more prepared than I was. Pros: - Good, solid unit with a bit of heft. - Apart from the alarms, which are mutable, quiet enough operation even when on battery. - A fair amount of IEC sockets to plug in several devices. - Battery backup and surge protection. - A reasonable 2 year warranty. - Very easy to set up and use, once you have the right cables. - Loud, but mutable alarms. Cons: - Seems to come with a European mains plug instead of a UK mains plug. - Batteries NOT user replaceable. - On the expensive side, but solid enough to excuse this mostly. As this only comes with a European mains plug and only 1 IEC adapter, I recommend that you buy a UK mains plug to power the UPS itself. I also recommend you buy 5 or 6 IEC to UK socket adapters so you can plug your standard UK plugs into the UPS, essential for devices like routers, printers, some monitors etc. that don't have a C13 plug type. These are the cables/adapters I bought, these work great for me. - Invero® 0.5M IEC C14 Cable Connector Plug to 1 Gang Mains Power Lead 13 Amp UK Socket 0.5 Metre (I got 5 of these to plug my monitor, router and other devices for later). - kenable UK Mains C19 Uninterrupted Power Supply UPS/Server Mains Power Cable 2m [2 metres] Overall I am very happy with this UPS. I don't know exactly how long it will power my load on battery. I think it would be pointless to state anyway as my load may differ significantly from yours. I hope this review is helpful to you.

Had a few of these. Good value and quality, easy to setup, and give good run time. Battery life is as advertised if you stay in the units limits and it functions just like you'd expect.

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.

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.

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 ?

Dopo oltre 1 anno ha accusato un problema forse a causa degli sbalzi di tensione assurdi della mia zona. Mi sono rivolto all'assistenza di Schneider Electric: mi hanno risposto subito, mi hanno chiesto di fare dei controlli. Dopo pochi giorni mi hanno mandato un apparecchio nuovo e un altro corriere per ritirare il vecchio! Signori, se volete affidarvi a un'azienda veramente seria scegliete Schneider Electric e non ve ne pentirete! After more than 1 year, it experienced a problem perhaps due to the crazy power surges in my area. I contacted Schneider Electric's service: they answered me right away, asked me to do some checks. After a few days they sent me a new unit and another courier to pick up the old one! Gentlemen, if you want to rely on a really serious company, choose Schneider Electric and you will not regret it!

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.

APC does not allow any wattage above its limit even when power is plugged in, i.e. is it useless for a PC unless you get the 1000W+ version, compared to not using one.

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

BUEN PRODUCTO SOLO LE FALTA TENER EN VISION LA CARGA Y DESCARGA DE LAS BATERIAS Y EL TIEMPO.
