  And so we agree on the primary function of a plug-in UPS. To protect
data from blackouts and extreme brownouts. 'Cleaning' of power
typically does not exist AND is made irrelevant by circuits already
inside the computer. Electronics being so robust that a computer grade
UPSes can output such 'dirty' power (ie 200 volt square waves and 270
volt spikes) and not harm a computer.

  The purpose of a plug-in UPS: "I got a few minutes to save my work.
:)" The protection of data.
