12 best uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

The stability of the power supply is the key to the smooth operation of all connected devices in the room. In many regions, unstable voltage can lead to disastrous consequences, for example, a gas boiler can operate unstable, and jumps can lead to failure of electrical appliances. As for computer components, such phenomena significantly reduce the service life of components, and if modern power supplies have protection, older models do not have this capability. To eliminate such problems and save energy, uninterruptible power supplies were created.

More recently, these were unstable devices, often taking a hit and failing. Thanks to the improvement of technology, many problems were avoided, but a large number of low-quality models and firms still remain on the market. We have selected for you the top 12 best uninterruptible power supplies based on the following criteria:

• popular sales;
• customer reviews;
• general resource consumption and efficiency;
• value for money.
