CyberPower 1500VA / 900Watts True Sine Wave Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) $149.99

This unit is on sale today at $30 off the $179.99 list price including shipping for members. The sale runs through June 18th. >still valid til 24th

Yes, it is the "older" model, but for $149.99 it is quite a bit cheaper than the newer model.

Fun fact 1: CyberPower states that the End-of-Life for their UPS is 8 years. After that they don't care about the unit at all.

Fun fact 2: CyberPower only supports 2 battery changes in their UPS and does not provide any support after 2 battery changes.

Fun fact 3: If you have a battery under warranty and they replace it, they will ship what they have in their warehouse even if has 15-20% less capacity! (That is, a lower Amp-Hour rating)

Fun fact 4: If you call CyberPower back after receiving a lower capacity battery they don't care and won't do anything about it.
Just some additional tidbits:

A lot of purchasers report problems with the shipping of this unit in the manufacturers box, which gets damaged/destroyed in transit. I just purchased this unit, but had it shipped to my local store instead of my house. This should decrease the chance of damage since it is a good assumption that Costco is NOT going to ship just one naked UPS to a particular store, but have it boxed with other items. Time will tell.

Also, since this is a manufacturer's savings, I am wondering if they are just trying to clear out this particular "older" model. I could not find any discounts on the other "newer" models.

Finally, if you want to see the specs from CyberPower on this unit, they can be found here: https://www.cyberpowersystems.com.../cst1500s/

Update (6/8/23): I picked up the unit today at Costco. My assumption was incorrect and in fact Costco did ship just one naked unit to the store. This was noted via the UPS shipping labels on the manufacturer's box and on the tracking and shipping information. The good news is the box was in pristine condition which I find unbelievable! The employee at the store was not aware of any doubling packaging.

Well ... the unit works perfectly. I just can't believe that the manufacturers box arrive in such pristine condition!
I love this UPS. Had one for 10 years (changed the battery once), and bought a 2nd one recently. This saved me so many times during power outages, and blips.

I mean, anything is possible....but no.

There have been some inexpensive solar generators on frontpage the last few weeks for the 2-300 range.

I have an old APC one that I used for my Synology drives. I have it set up so that after 5 minutes it will shut down the drives properly and then itself. So, you probably want one that communicates a power outage in order to perform an orderly shutdown.

The one I referenced above will work nicely for a desktop computer. I prefer the true sine wave versions, which the reference one is.

This model supports it - there is a USB-B output at the back. I have a lower tier CyberPower that is connected to my QNAP over USB and it powers down the NAS after 5 minutes of outage (as configured in the NAS).

My power died twice tonight and this same model spared my and my son's PCs. It also kept my PC and cable modem and router up during the 30 consecutive minutes of the 2nd outage. This let me finish up global work meetings at 9pm (with flashlight support too) Smilie So, here's my vote of confidence.

I just bought one of these from Amazon like a week ago for $220 + tax 😂 I was looking at the Amazon price history and it's only gone up so I wasn't expecting it to drop in price.

Some of these units are dubbed fire starters.

but, I think some of the newer made units use less glue for strain relief.
