I noticed that the lights in my bathroom dim slightly when I switch on 
the hair dryer.  The lights stay dimmed until the dryer is switched 
off.  (Salon Series 1875W from Target.)  I might hook the dryer to the 
UPS to see what "upsstats.cgi" reports.

How much for a whole-house surge arrestor?

Imaging the size of a whole-house UPS!  I would guess that a whole-house 
UPS would be highly impractical without an automatic failover to a 
generator.
