My $0.02, worth less.
If you have frequent outages, and you are running desktop system(s) you should get one. Most will keep your system up long enough to ride out brief outages. Some have software to shut your Windows system down. Keep in mind that, if you drop power while the system is writing to disk, it could corrupt the disk. This exposure is limited if your disks are SSD. We have a mixture of APC and Cyberpower rack mount 1500VA units. All work well, until they don't, and you find out the hard way. We recently had a 4 hour outage and one of the units shut down immediately. Another stayed up long enough for me to shut down 4 virtual servers and the hardware server. Run time is determined by the number of batteries. We replace batteries every 4 years, a couple of the units are over 10 years old. Rack mount units have 4 batteries. I will probably replace the failed unit with APC but the difference seems mute.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.
