OT-Recommended UPS for a desktop (MAC 21.5) computer-OT

As the title suggests, I am looking for any inputs as I have had some recent predicted and unpredicted power outages. 

Nothing big or for a protracted period of time for the unit to sustain.

Thanks in advance-

I've got a bunch of CyberPower UPC's. Haven't had any failures. Have had to replace the batteries in a couple of the oldest ones when they hit their 4th or 5th birthday but that is an easy and cheap thing to do and is normal for all UPC's. Almost all of the ones I've bought over the years are sinewave models.

I have these on all the PCs and home A/V equipment. I use one that’s considerably larger on the home network equipment. It is worth noting that the one below is serviceable meaning you can replace the battery. Cheaper models are not.

I have the one linked below. It powers network gear, a desktop a couple of monitors and a laptop. When I lose power I shut down my desktop and monitors and unplug the charger to my laptop. 

It will easily run a cable modem and wifi for a couple of hours. I get at least a half hour with everything running.

It is great for short outages since my network stays active and all the devices reconnect quickly and don't get stuck waiting for the cable modem to reconnect.

In all the years I supported the network before I retired, I bought lots of APC UPS units. 1500VA units for the individual desktops, and some 3kVA units for servers. Plus one rack mount unit. Never had a failure, just had to replace batteries.

I still have a SUA1500 at home. Now discontinued, end of service life in a couple more years, but still going strong.

I bought this for my cable modem, router, and switch:
