I, on the other hand, had a APS UPS burst into flame. If I had not been sitting
at the computer when it happened, it would have burned the house down. I will
never trust their equipment again.

Most UPS will maintain a system without mains power for 15 minutes or so and
most can couple with the OS to enable automated shut-down should the mains
failure be prolonged. Most also contain quite good mains filters too, I
personally use APC UPS on all my critical computers and peripherals components
(scanners, modems, external drive/burner, network hubs/switches etc) and in
over 10 years I've never had mains based equipment failure and this includes
the day that 33kV was imposed on our 240VAC local mains power.
