Method: Roster of 11 consumer/SOHO line-interactive and standby UPS units from APC (Back-UPS, Back-UPS Pro, Smart-UPS), CyberPower (AVR, PFC Sinewave, Intelligent LCD lines), and Tripp Lite/Eaton. Each entry was independently re-verified this session. CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD, CP1350PFCLCD, CP900AVR and CP1500AVRLCD were confirmed spec-by-spec (incl. MSRP) on cyberpowersystems.com official product pages; the Tripp Lite SMART1500LCDT was confirmed field-by-field on Eaton/Tripp Lite's own datasheet PDF (incl. the battery-mode 'PWM sine wave' field, hence simulated_sine); the five APC units were confirmed on apcguard.com authorized-reseller spec pages (BE600M1 also cross-checked on Dell). se.com and most major retailers (B&H, Newegg, Provantage, CDW, Cooper Electric) blocked automated fetching this session. capacity_va/output_watts are nameplate ratings; waveform is pure_sine only where the manufacturer's spec explicitly states true/sine-wave output on battery, simulated_sine for stepped/PWM approximations, null where the battery-mode waveform is not documented; battery_backup_outlets counts only battery-powered outlets (all outlets on the Smart-UPS SMT1500C); avr is true only where AVR is explicitly documented. priceUsd is the clearest sourced USD list/MSRP figure and is nulled rather than guessed when no reliable figure could be confirmed. NOTE: APC prices are authorized-reseller list/MSRP figures and typically run below list at retail. One draft entry ('Amazon Basics Standby UPS 800VA') was removed as unverifiable/likely fabricated. accessedAt 2026-08-16.
