I thought so, too.  So I put my home machines on UPSes.
Since then, I have had two failures due to UPSes misbehaving.  During
the same time, I have had one power outage that having a UPS helped
with.  History indicates I'm better off without - and, indeed, I'm
running without them at the moment.
Of course, this will doubtless vary for you depending on numerous
factors, such as the quality of service from your local power supplier.
