UPS recommendations home/gaming PC in 2025?

I've been running an EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus for my network gear + server since November now, at ~220w load it shows a bit over 2hr of runtime when running a battery test (when I first got it I did test this to be truthful). The estimate when it's on AC power though is entirely wrong (1d13h lol). Compared to my Eaton 5S 1000VA, it only says 51 minutes with a 85W load... or even my Cyberpower CP1500PFCLCDa that bounces between 26-40 minutes for a similar ~210w while posting this.

I mostly bought it to see how the LiFePO4 battery fairs compared to the typical SLA batteries in normal UPS's. Power is stable here so they don't ever really see much use.

Pricing doesn't look so great at the moment, but if you catch a decent sale, might be another idea. Upside would be if you did have a prolonged outage, you could move it from the PC to power the fridge or something instead (assuming you buy a big enough one).
