UPS suggestions?

The top Amazon listings include models from CyberPower, APC, and others. However, users report several problems despite high ratings. You're looking for an UPS suitable for an unraid NAS built with five drives, needing backup for 3-5 minutes during power interruptions caused by frequent outages or fuse issues in your area. You're considering a 1500VA unit within a $200-$250 budget. Do any of you have experience with these brands or other options?

When considering its worth, keep in mind I lack experience with these units—mostly non-commercial ones. Often, people favor APC over Cyberpower based on the recommendations I see.

I'll remember that. I'm hoping a few of these will be discounted during Prime Day.

I favor Eaton UPS units the most. Cyberpower offers good value, but if you can, I’d go for the PFC model.

I have two of these for different components, and they work great. Note: Just noticed that this is the third item you shared, haha.

APC and nothing else. They keep working a long time and you always get replacements without problems. I own a Backup-UPS similar to the one you mentioned on Amazon, though a smaller version. After the first lasted six years, I’m now on the second one. Most UPS batteries only last around three years. If you have room or a rack, consider a 19" model.
