UPS recommendation

[Vergil2501]

So I'm looking to buy an UPS for my office for my Desktop, monitors, router/modem, and NAS. I currently live in FL and over the summer months I find the power seems to flicker. I'm wanting something more so to provide more surge suppression and keep devices powered on with till I can turn them off, I've already had to replace a router because of this and had the power flicker just long enough for my monitors to display nothing but still have my desktop stay powered on.

 

I'm looking between cyberpower and APC, I'd like to have one that has the front panel LCD. Any suggestions between the two. I've heard that cyberpower units have a higher tolerance for suppression than APC.

honestly UPS are pretty trash tier on the low end. You will only manage a few minutes of uptime with most machines. A server UPS is nice but its expensive and also can run out pretty quick depending on your machine. I would suggest getting the highest available Battery, as that will give you the most time.

Cyberpower 1500va led model. I had a whole thread about it here

There are different types:

Line Interactive

Continuous Power

Pure Sine Wave

And then you will need to know what size (VA versus Watts) before you can search around the comparative brands available in your area.

Powershield have an interactive calculator which may not match exactly what your machine is but as a guide to what is available to spend your money on, it does a good job IMO.
