If you search the Costco website it shows up and than says product not found.
The newer model is in my Austin, TX Costco for $99, its same as old model but with a USBC port. Seems cheaper than other local retailers by at least $50, but seems regular price at Costco. I picked one up cause winter is coming and I can't wait for the coupon book sales LOL.

Although tricky, the more adventurous should also consider buying used/refurb true sine wave units as the worst case is often that you'll need to swap in new batteries (so price those out as well).
Good luck!

Do you have a link or model number you can share? Thanks.
This price is what I'd expect from Costco for simulated sine. If you don't need pure sine, this deal is fine. I've personally used Cyber Power w/simulated sine for 2 UPS for well over 4 years and haven't had an issue with any of the PC's I've had connected to it. I'd argue simulated sine will still beat out not having a UPS. If you can't for over the premium for pure sine, simulated sine is a good stopgap. Just imagine installing or updating OS and the power goes out. Best case scenario without a UPS, you're doing a clean OS install.
With the supply chain and inflation issues, getting anything at prior low prices is good.
In the past we could find 1500VA pure sine wave models for $130 on Black Friday.
I expect this Black Friday to be very poor compared to the years prior to the Pandemic.
Costco in general have increased prices ..
many others are also increasing prices.
Oil is up, Shipping rates have skyrocketed ..

I've had that same problem twice, all on the 550 va models. One was only 3 months old. It's a valid failure covered under warranty but you need to mail the machine back to them.
Very annoyed, they claim its a battery failure but expensive to mail back these heavy devices. Don't understand why they won't turn back on when power returns. Was gone for a month and couldn't access anything because router connected to the UPS.

The top answer in this link actually does a good job at explaining why that is:

No issues with it being simulated sine despite it keeping me working through several brown/blackouts.
Modern electronics are generally unaffected.

If you are really concerned GET A GOOD POWER SUPPLY. That is far more important than sine vs non-sine.
Also, don't trust people who say "1500VA true sine wave can be found for around $130 on sale" but cannot support this with an actual link. If that was once 4 years ago, it is just impractical to wait, especially since prices are going up on everything and will likely never go down again.
