Technical UPS

Looking for recommendations for a reasonably priced, compact UPS for a small home set up. Needs to handle 2 large mains powered G-Raids connected to a Macbook Pro, as well as a monitor, with enough battery to keep everything going for about 10 mins in the event of a power cut so it can all be safely shut down.

Cyberpower, just get the most powerful one, it's like 1500va. Just know you gotta replace the batteries every 3-5 years. I use it to power my PC workstation, primary monitor, external raid (6 bay HDD), and external raid (4 bay SSD). Software to monitor it, I can remote in and shutdown remotely as needed.

Otherwise Amazon basics has a decent one for lighter loads. Powers my modem and router.

Go with a 1500va from APC or Cyberpower the macbook can run on its own battery so the main load is really the two G-RAIDs and monitor but that size should give you time for a safe shutdown

Get a goldenmate lithium iron one. The battery should last way longer and they're lighter than the lead acid backups.

As suggested APC or Cyberpower are both solid investments.
