Power outages always seem to happen at the worst possible time. Maybe you’re in the middle of work, or maybe you’re relaxing and streaming a movie on Netflix. Whatever the case, all your connections come to a grinding halt and anything that needs to be plugged in to operate dies. You could drop thousands and thousands of dollars on a big generator, but it seems a little silly considering how infrequently most people lose power. Here’s another option: Pick up a CyberPower UPS Mini Tower, which ranges in size from 510 watts to 900 watts and is shockingly affordable on Amazon.

Some key details:

  • 510-900 Watts UPS System – Protects PCs, workstations, and home entertainment systems. Prevents data loss and interruptions that can cause lost product configurations
  • Line interactive – Corrects brownouts and overvoltage without using the battery. Green Power UPS, reduces energy consumption up to 75%.
  • Multifunction LCD provides runtime in minutes, battery status, load level and other status information
  • 10 Outlets / USB Management Port / RJ45 Data line Surge Protection / 2 USB 2.1A (Shared) Charging Ports
  • Energy Star Qualified – Mini-Tower Form Factor – 5 Year Warranty

Note that the 900W model is on sale today, making it hands down the best deal out of the four different models.
