Is this not a good purchase, which would you recommend for similar power and number of outlets? I use my current for a pc, tv, monitor, and ps4... The cyberpower needs to change due to the e21 or something error

Would say NO for this unit at this price. If you want a budget UPS, you should be able to get a 700-900 VA unit for around $50. And that would be plenty for most purposes unless you run high-end (or much older power-hungry) gaming systems or servers.

For a little more than this you should be able to get a "true sine wave" UPS, on deals they will be around $150 but retail is usually closer to $200. Of course, more for business-level stuff intended for servers in a commercial environment, rack-mount, etc.

APC is a good brand and I have had good luck with them through the years, but $130 for non-true-sine-wave isn't really the market anymore. Plus, the electronics required to actually make the true sine wave have become more mainstream and cheaper to include in devices like this, compared to 20 years ago when it carried a heavy premium.

Does it matter much? That's a question for you. It's not just computers, but if you are running other things, many don't work well (or work at all) with the "simulated sine wave." For example, my friend needs a CPAP and I got him a true-sine-wave UPS for that reason (Amazon deal-of-the-day a few years ago). Well, he's still alive, so that's good. Don't risk it on a cheap UPS, especially at this price which is almost what you could find a sine-wave unit for.

Costco has a similar spec model with True Sinewave.

I disagree with all the hate for this deal. For everyone who doesn't have Costco and who doesn't mind simulated sine wave, this is a deal. Only Costco has had the $150 true sine wave Cyberpower UPS systems as far as I've seen, and I've been looking for awhile. And I don't like that company. Never seen a true sine wave for under $200, and this is just fine for $130. APC true sine wave model is $271 right now, so if you don't need it (which is most people), this is just fine.

Please explain sine wave for us people that have no clue.
