My advise is just go get a UPS and be done with it.

And if the power drops and transformers blew out where I use to live at
on a routine basis in the high price area, too much population in the

to save my work. :)

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.
