Very happy with it. Our small reception buildings entire electrical demand is small enough to pass through this product giving us a fully functioning office with lights, eftpos, computer, routers, powered Wifi antenna and phones throughout a 20min power cut.

I've used the Dynamix UPSD1600 for many years, this is my second one
(The first one I bought still worked after replacing the batteries)

Pros:
Good strong batteries
Took a long time for the batteries to fail and need replacing
Power lasted over an hour when powering my gaming rig and ONT while we upgraded to a smart meter while using my first UPS

Cons:
No Battery Bypass when a battery fails and needs replacing. When either of the batteries fail and need replacing, the entire UPS switches off without warning, and will NOT turn back on, this results in the unsafe shutdown of ALL connected equipment, and there was no warning via the ...view more I've used the Dynamix UPSD1600 for many years, this is my second one

Cons:
No Battery Bypass when a battery fails and needs replacing. When either of the batteries fail and need replacing, the entire UPS switches off without warning, and will NOT turn back on, this results in the unsafe shutdown of ALL connected equipment, and there was no warning via the battery test that there was any impending issue.
I asked Dynamics about this and was told it was by design (due to the UPSD1600 being one of their low cost UPS's)

Have and will continue to buy these UPS's, however I will be keeping a closer eye on the batteries and keeping a spare set on hand

good product. nice and quiet when on 240v, but high pitch squeal when battery is in use. great capacity and plug and play capability. good product. nice and quiet when on 240v, but high pitch squeal when battery is in use. great capacity and plug and play capability.

Pros:
Nice and quiet (no fans).
Good runtime for small server & network gear (around 100W total).
Email notification is nice when an "event" happens.

Cons:
Software is clunky Java based crap. It could really do with an overhaul & be laid out much nicer (tried both Mac OS Mojave 10.14 & Windows 10, both the exact same).
USB communication constantly drops (without reconnect). Not a computer hardware issue.
Unit stays quite warm when on mains power.
Noticeable buzzing from inverter when providing battery backup power.

Unfortunately, because of the software & USB issues, I have had to resort to using this as a "dumb" UPS, so therefore I can't automatically have the server shut down on a power outage event.

I have a PC, a serve and two expensive monitors. The mains power in my region (Auckland) keeps having "micro" outages and brownouts. The results were a blown monitor power supply and a server that powers off at least 4 times per week. After installing the Dynamix UPS, I have not had a single issue. I chose the 1600 model as this was rated at well over twice my power draw. So far (2months) I have been issue free. My only concern is the plugs at the rear of the unit are very hard to plug into. You need a lot of force to fully fit the plugs into. I have a PC, a serve and two expensive monitors. The mains power in my region (Auckland) keeps having "micro" outages and brownouts.

It's simple to set up but it's kind of big, heavy and long so it needs a little space. The 3 point power plug outputs for your devices are all place at the back and the LED read out is at the front. Because of that it can be hard to position it in an enclosed space like a server cabinet and still use the LED read out.

really good, works as expected really good, works as expected

Well worth the price. Has saved me many hours already due to not having to restart all my VMs and the issue that come with it. Also very quite Well worth the price. Has saved me many hours already due to not having to restart all my VMs and the issue that come with it. Also very quite

Haven't had a power cut yet to asses them properly but they appear to work well. Just have a strong electrical smell which is taking ages to go. Haven't had a power cut yet to asses them properly but they appear to work well. Just have a strong electrical smell which is taking ages to go.
