After many UPSes at home over the years, I currently have only 1 (a business-grade rackmount Cyberpower), and once it needs a new battery pack, I'll probably just switch to a surge protector.

My local electric is pretty stable, I no longer run servers at home that need to be up 24/7, most of my work at home is on a laptop with integrated battery backup, I can use my phone WiFI AP mode for backup Internet, UPSes are a pain to move between apartments, and UPSes have a small risk of dangerous battery leakage.
