My only problem with these is that portable power stations are getting so much cheaper so much faster that I'm not sure I have much need for these anymore. In the past they were important for your electronics but at $100-150 I can't help my think most things can be done with a power station that's maybe a little more but with a UPS feature. In exchange I can power more things and I can power them for much longer.

There's a market for this, especially if you need something that's guaranteed under 10ms switchover time, you're shopping for an office, or you're so limited in spacing that 8 outlets on this machine is necessary over a 14amp surge protector in a PPS. But I'm struggling for a use case at this price point, very first world problem.

You have to do the "pay later" option when checking out. It breaks it down to 4 payments every two weeks, I think?

I used it for an Insta360 gimbal deal last week. It cut it in to fourths and I think I see the cash back once it's paid off completely. Probably by end-December or sometime in January.

Can't confirm the cash back comes through but that is what the deal is. I also believe it is unlimited use between now and December-something. So it's not just for one purchase.

There is a dollar limit on the TOTAL purchases, I think it is like $1250, but check. There is a thread on SD devoted to this deal.

How many watts are you typically using? That will determine what size UPS that you need.

No, it's until paypal runs out of points. They are giving 1.5 billion points. But you must do the pay later in 4 installments
Also max purchase amount of $1250 in total

Many years ago I got a deal from Fatwallet for 3 of these at $10 each from Office Depot. I still have one of them. They work well but the fans in them can become noisy and annoying. I tried replacing the fans but it didn't help much. I eventually gave up on them in preference for smaller units without fans.

Generally yes but the more specific answer depends on how much you push your PC and what your worst case scenario would be. For that you'd need to know how it is under load but even at 850w max you should be fine. It's the rest of the stuff you'd typically plug in, like monitor, router, modem, phone, etc, that could impact what's left. But the computer won't draw 850w almost ever, to get that much you'd need a 4090 or 5090 inside along with an extremely hungry CPU, at which point money clearly isn't an issue and you might as well consider a power station with a UPS feature instead. Or get a more powerful UPS (e.g., 1500VA) because you're clearly going to work with more hungry items. Just remember that with this you've got maybe 2-3m before the battery dies as long as the computer's on, so the idea is to shut down the stuff that heavily draws and let the modem/router slowly drain the battery over the next few hours/until power's back.
