I'm trying to buy an UPS (hope this is the correct forum for that) and running into some surprises, mostly because there are so many unknown companies offering solutions.
Basically what I want is surge protection and as much independence as possible for 2 PCs + 1 monitor. Estimated sustained load during outages around 200W, mostly because of the monitor. However, it seems that offerings tie capacity to VA rating. I'm not sure if I shuld go with VI or VFI solution (power is VERY stable in my home even during thunderstorms)
My problem:
So I have APC (known, but expensive), AEG (known company, though I don't know about theit UPS line) followed by all unknowns: PowerWalker, BlueWalker, Samurai, Tecnoware.
The unknowns beat APC at features, power rating AND capacity at the same price point, which makes them attractive to consider, but are they any good at all? AEG seems to price its products similar as unknowns which places a huge question mark over it as well.
Any advice?
