UPS recommendations?

[James McDonald]

I have used APC UPS's but you may want to plug your equipment wattage
values into the runtime calculator on apc.com an hour uptime might be a
challenge for a 1000VA UPS.

I have had APC UPS's fail but that was because they were in high humidity
45deg C + temps for a few summers.

They don't seem to have ever allowed lightning strikes or voltage
spikes/fades through to the equipment. They do seem to rectify high
voltages back down to 240.

I would buy a APC for home.
