would I use this for something important (like my media server)? nope.
would I use this for plugging my laptop docking station and 2 monitors into? yup.
That said, I just recently picked up a 1500va pure sine wave UPS and it's been nice already. I don't have to worry nearly as much about power fluctuations, and if I'm working on something important or if I'm playing a game, I've got like 30 minutes to finish everything up and shut down before I lose power entirely.
It's got an added bonus of keeping my hard drives safe - I've got two externals plugged into it so that they're not subjected to the on/off power cycle when something is going nuts with the grid. Not saying they wouldn't survive something like that, but it's worth the peace of mind.
I've also got all of my networking equipment plugged into the UPS - it'll keep my wifi and modem up for two hours if the power goes out - often, you've still got internet when the power is out, so it's helpful to have that connection. I was able to experience that with a recent wave of severe weather/tornado warnings. My power was out, but I was on WiFi just fine.
Long story short - it's not absolutely necessary, but it's really nice to have. If you bought this, I wouldn't use it on a PC, but a router/modem setup might work well with it.
Well, the unit had an issue at one point and the system notified me by beeping. APC (well their parent company, can't recall the name now) replaced it without an issue.

Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience this situation has caused. We do have a disclaimer on our site which explains that replacement batteries are not available for this unit. We will share the feedback about making this clearer in our user guide. We will also ensure that our support teams are clear on this as well.
APC and Cyberpower seem to be about equal for consumer UPS. I got the Cyberpower 1500VA Pure Sine UPS and it's been good so far.
The big two I see recommended are the APC BR1500MS2 or the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD - both are plenty of wattage for pretty much any gaming PC, you can save some cash by going for a lower VA model if you don't need it, but it's better to get way over what you need than under.
If you need to be absolutely sure, just get something that'll accommodate your PSU - mine is 750w, but even at full pull with a Ryzen CPU and a GTX2080 I barely max out at 400w.
Looking for router n modem back up for s couple of hours or so.

I've got two of these, and they just seem to act unpredictably. Alarms while power still on, PC shut off before this kicked in, unable to silence alarm without completely turning it off...
Maybe this is an error condition, but either way both of them kicked the bucket within two years of light usage

Most modern psu have active pfc so modified sine wave is perfectly adequate and even not you will lose a tad of efficiency of a few percent worst case.The issue is you need to use the psu rating when sizing the ups so if your pc is using a few hundred watts this thing will only last a few minutes. The old single stage pwm ups could be issue with lower peak voltage but im not sure any reputable vendor sells them anymore. Modern ups are all safe for most devices.
Now lets get over the urban myths, you can go to apc and it will tell you the use cases and pc are one of them but the ups must be properly sized for the surge load.
The types of devices that need pure sine wave are medical devices with motors like cpap, ac motors, or certain lab equipment that uses line voltage as a reference or will disrupt readings.
Will buying a pure sine wave hurt you, no. The cost isnt much more these days. Keep in mind a pure sine wave isnt pure either they have just done a better job at cleaning up harmonics which any decent ac to dc power brick or psu can handle on a dirty ups. There are two stage (online) ups but those are not consumer and they run everything through ac to dc to ac.
So if you are looking for a ups minimally get one with avr automatic voltage regulation say in california where they cant keep the lights on and can have power sags….
So keep in mind when we talk of inverter topology this is only when you are running off the inverter/battery. So 99% of the time you are running of utility with line interactive.
This is a abomination, no real avr, doesnt seem to be line interactive, and worse no user serviceable battery. Pretty much better than a power strip, but not much more…
Spend another $20-30 and get one with avr, line interactive, and a replaceable battery. If you keep your ups cool it can last 10-20 years., battery 4-6 yrs.This one maybe 3-5 and you have to dispose of it properly because it has fixed lead acid battery. Worst idea ever in green…Penny wise, pound foolish. The cyberpower avr models do this and for 25w you could easily get close to 1 hr with an $80-$90 one.
So the minimum cyberpower i would recommend is the avr series or the apc smart-ups series. No frills and they work. Lcd, pure sine wave are like ultimate versions in cars. Nice blinky things and fancy marketing terms but operating wise minimal to no difference….. but user preference
A near lighting strike even whole home surge suppressors cannot always prevent damage. Now for coax it should be properly bonded to your house but anytime you run coax outside the house you are at risk of transient damage and coax is a typical bad guy on lightning damage. Even running it through a strip with coax protection is more for low dc noise, it wont help you for lightning. Worse lots of time these coax cheapo filters cause signal issues, so i would avoid them for cm, they were designed for slight dc bias that may cause issues with analog cable long ago.
There's no reason for it, except to differentiate the "BV" series models from the regular models by doing that, and omitting the USB comm port.
Presumably, "V" stands for value, and fewer features, but they're not really much cheaper.
I just started hunting for a new unit for modem/router duty, with the ability to mute, and the CyberPower AVR units seem to be the best blend of capacity and price. Hopefully, the Costco deal will come around soon again.

I seriously doubt that a small UPS unit can power the opener. One page I found says the startup power is about 1,100-1,400 watts for a 1/4 to 1/2 horsepower unit, with 550-725 running watts. You're not supposed to connect a laser printer to an UPS, and those seem to max out around 1,000 watts on startup from what I read.
I know they have garage openers with built-in batteries. Probably best to use one of those if you want that capability.
