Detailed overview: Tecnoware FGCERAPL652SCH UPS
Protecting a router, a modem, a CCTV camera or a small NAS from an outage or a surge does not always call for a premium UPS. The Tecnoware Era Plus 650VA (FGCERAPL652SCH) targets exactly this tight budget: a simple line-interactive UPS for an office PC, a modem, a camera or a till, explicitly not for a gaming PC or a console according to the manufacturer.
At 650 VA and 455 W of active power, Line Interactive Plus technology with AVR regulation corrects voltage swings without drawing on the battery, similar to the pricier UPS units in our selection such as the APC Back-UPS range. Rated runtime is 10 minutes with a standard office PC, up to 30 minutes with a simple modem or router, plenty to absorb a short outage or trigger a clean shutdown. Operation stays quiet (under 40 dB(A) at 1 m), a genuine plus for a unit sitting in a living space.
An important point to flag: the 2 output sockets are Schuko type, the round two-pin standard used across most of continental Europe, not the UK's three-pin type G socket. At the time of writing, we could not find this exact model sold with a UK plug by any UK retailer, so this fiche is kept for reference rather than as an active buying recommendation.
Against the APC Back-UPS 500VA and 850VA in our selection, the Tecnoware Era Plus sits clearly at entry level: no USB monitoring port, no automatic shutdown software, compact size (3.7 kg, 10.1 x 14.2 x 27.9 cm). In exchange, its price on the continent is markedly lower, making it an honest option for anyone on mainland Europe who simply wants to protect a router, modem or security camera without spending much.

Our tester's review: Dawid Lojewski
Widely sold as a budget line-interactive UPS across continental Europe, this small Tecnoware protects a router, a modem or a CCTV camera without fuss, exactly what you want at this price point. The AVR Plus soaks up small mains fluctuations without switching to battery, and the fan-less silent operation is genuine, not just a marketing line. The two outlets are Schuko sockets, the round two-pin standard used across most of continental Europe, not the three-pin type G socket used in the UK, and no UK-plug version is currently listed by any UK retailer. There is also no USB port or monitoring software, so it cannot trigger an automatic clean shutdown of a PC on a longer outage. For a simple job, protecting a router, modem or camera on the continent, it does that job honestly at a hard-to-beat price.

Not at the time of writing: we could not find this exact 650VA Schuko model sold with a UK plug on any UK retailer. It is widely available across continental Europe, where Schuko sockets are the standard.
2 Schuko sockets, the round two-pin standard used across most of continental Europe, not the UK's three-pin type G socket. A UK buyer would need a Schuko-compatible device and an appropriate travel adapter.
No, the manufacturer explicitly advises against gaming PCs and consoles, due to their high instantaneous power draw. It targets a standard office PC, a modem, a CCTV camera or a till.
Up to 10 minutes with a standard office PC, and up to 30 minutes with a simple modem or router, a much lighter load. Enough to absorb a short outage or trigger a clean shutdown.
The Tecnoware Era Plus is more basic: no USB monitoring port and no automatic shutdown software. In exchange, its price on the continent is markedly lower.
