The price is all wrong. Nobody can build a decent product with

Depending on your definition of "decent", this may be true,
but it's going to be roughly equivalent to what you'd buy
from APC as a 500VA for about $50 so if that's what the
budget allows, it's not an exceptionally low price (also
considering you can sometimes get the APC discounted or with
rebate putting it closer to $20-30 than to $50.


FWIW, I was in that same Best Buy today and the UPS model I got for
$69 was back to its normal price of $119.


I should elaborate that roughly equivalent did not mean same
thing just spec'd less conservatively, did not mean to
include current capability and/or battery size, rather these
parameters were probably increased correspondingly.
