Anybody got a good UPS recommendation? Looking to keep my networking and scanner equipment up in the event of an outage. Nothing has a major draw and I'd like to balance uptime and price

@farewell_ladmin I went for an "online" ups back in the day, the one that always rectifies the current before generating the 120v sine again. It promises seamless switchover in case of power failure as well as always perfect sine wave for your equipment. And it does. One thing I realized too late however is that by doing that double conversion it adds 100W to the 200W computer that it's protecting, 24x7. With that equation I now simply go for a basic APC BackUPS and that's more than enough for my home needs. I also do 2 different UPSes for my redundant equipment.

@junq thanks! I spent so long installing server room UPS units that I've got little idea of the consumer market outside of "APC is good" 😅

@farewell_ladmin
Let us know what you end up with. I'm on APC.
