still i think i should reply :: APC 650 VA UPS is best , little hard to find in market and sometime back was of around 3000 bucks , but it had got 2 years warranty ( that mean complete peace of mind , i had tested that ) and the best thing is on paying some charges even at the last month of end of warranty period , you can extend that warranty too !!

SORRY to all for replying wrongly posted post :)

Go for APC or TVS. Both are good. APC is bit expensive. TVS comes in economy range.

Go for Elnova,It has wide input range 110-300volt.sleek design and good battery backuo.Do not buy Microtek,it gave me lot of trouble.its input range was 130-240 volts so difficult to operate at high voltage.ELNOVA is the best.
