I put them on all my electronic devices. We use about 13 of them throughout the house. There is one at the ONT, one at the router, one at each tv/cable box, and one for each computer in the house. In my test lab in the basement, I keep a few computers grouped together and plugged into one UPS. I have 4 groups, so I need four UPSes. Our use case is an occasional power outage of several minutes, brown-outs and dirty power. If power looks like it is going to be out longer, I turn on our backup generator. It produces _really_ dirty power. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is between 15% and 20%. We use the 425 VAC units [1] and 600 VAC units [2], depending on the load.
