Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
PowerWalker's VI 2200VA/1200W is the fifth entry in this guide: a UPS with a built-in boost and buck AVR function, six IEC C13 outlets, an LCD status screen and USB monitoring, listed at £179.99 with 4.1 stars from 229 ratings. The name carries two numbers and only one of them is the figure you can actually pull: 2200VA is the headline, 1200 W is the output rating that appears in the Maximum Power, Output Wattage and Wattage fields — a ratio of about 1.8, in step with the rest of this list.
The listing's other fields are where it gets untidy. Voltage reads "2200 Volts", which is the VA figure sitting in a voltage field, while Input Voltage and Output Voltage both read 230 Volts. Runtime reads "0 minute", and Output Current reads 0.55 Amps alongside that 1200 W output rating. The unit is listed at 10.2 kg and 36.4 x 13.9 x 19.5 cm (D x W x H). Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands — we have not tested this unit ourselves.

Questions people ask
How many watts can this PowerWalker actually deliver?
The spec table lists 1200 Watts, and both the Output Wattage and Wattage fields repeat 1200. The 2200 figure is the VA rating carried in the product name.
Why does the listing say 2200 Volts?
The Voltage field reads "2200 Volts", which is the VA number copied into a voltage field. Input Voltage and Output Voltage both read 230 Volts.
What does a Runtime of 0 minute tell me?
The Runtime field reads "0 minute", so it gives you no usable backup-time figure. The listing does state cold start and a built-in boost and buck AVR function.
How many devices can I plug in?
Six, via the six IEC C13 outlets listed. The power plug type is given as Type G.
Does it support USB monitoring?
Yes — the bullets list an easily accessible USB connection for monitoring, HID support, and RJ-11/RJ45 surge protection alongside the six IEC outlets.
How big and heavy is the PowerWalker VI 2200VA?
The listing gives 36.4 x 13.9 x 19.5 cm (D x W x H) and 10.2 kg. The Form Factor field says Rack, though one reviewer describes the unit sitting under a desk.
