APC UPS Model #: BN600U1 on sale for $60 (25% off), regular price $80. There is a $15 off $60 coupon that you can use for signing up for their mailing list, or a $10 of $50 coupon that they also emailed me after signing up. You will have to find a cheap filler for the $15 off coupon (pens, tape, notebooks, etc). This can bring the cost down to $45 or $50 with free shipping.

As for the UPS, it will be good for low powered devices. I got it for my NAS as it also has a data port in the back. Should also be good for routers, modems, and maybe TVs, etc.

Spec wise, this model # BN600U1 is nearly identical to the more common BE600M1 ($84) aside from a miniscule amperage difference (5A vs 5.42 A on this model on sale). I contacted APC, and they told me the only real difference is BN600U1 is for the retail market, while the BE model is used on their website and for larger production.

EDIT -

This is an FYI for anyone receiving this unit - These devices, like many other APC UPS units come with a quality assurance testing sticker from the factory. It does not mean that the unit is used or refurbished. This has been the standard practice for all units for years.

Quote from squanderer :
a lot of the reviews mention getting used or refurbished units...
See this post #54 and #55 above yours and the one right below. The reviews are all recent and posted by people that are not aware of how APC ships out new units.

I just contacted Staples support because I noticed that my APC unit I received had been opened. I understand that people are concerned about receiving a "QC" receipt (attached to every new UPS leaving the factory), but I believe APC should understand that if a unit is shipped from the factory, it should have a seal or some indication that it wasn't returned as an open box. I requested a replacement, but if the replacement unit also appears tampered, I will return it. I've been using APC units for years, and if the replacement unit is re-taped, that's the last item I'll buy from them. I don't have time for this kind of nonsense.

Got my replacement, identical (retaped, already connected battery) serial number was only off by like 5 so I suspect all of them in this batch are like that. Was not super happy the replacement was shipped without any protective box but it's what it is.
