One thing that might not have been mentioned yet: somewhere around three years out, a small UPS will cause an outage you wouldn't have otherwise when it fails. Generally replacing the battery will fix this, but by 6-10 years other components will go too.
indeed, about half the times I've replaced the battery in a APC BackUPS or other low end UPS, the UPS itself was dead.
