I would feel insecure with a $70 UPS. I guess our posts passed on the internet, because I just posted about laser printers causing surges. The momentary outage is not the problem, it is the surge that does the damage.

Don't even think of putting a laser printer [or any other device with a large motor] ?on a consumer grade UPS.

Or, for that matter, on any UPS. If your power goes out you will not print the page it is then printing, so you might lose one sheet of paper and a half a page of toner. A UPS is designed such that you can shut down properly and not damage anything, so all you really should put on it is your computer, monitor (if separate, so you can see it to shut down) and any external drives.?
