Given that you can get a nice APC ups for about $114 with AVR and surge protection I would just go that route.
If you need AVR a ups is a good idea.

I have my DS918+ on a APC Back-UPS Pro 1500 (BR1500G), along with cable modem and UniFi network gear. It's great for all that.
The BR1500G's are a slightly older model and the newer version is BR1500MS that has a better sine wave output.
There is a BR1000MS (1000VA) model which is a little cheaper with shorter run time if it is just the NAS right running on it. Just under $150 at Amazon.

There is also a BR700G (700VA slightly older model) that still seems still available for around $114 at Amazon.

There are some smaller units, but usually they don't have the USB connection to tell the NAS when to shut down. There may be something out there a little less money, but not that I am aware of at the moment.
I have an APC UPS rated at 700VA. It'll drive my computer (970 build with an 850W PSU) and ultrawide 29" monitor for about "15" minutes. That's long enough to shut down gracefully. I put 15 in quotes because I've never waited for the battery to run out.
this is the model I have

720VA/420w. 420 watts is about right to cover all typical printer possibilities. You might be able to get away with less with a smaller printer, or one that doesn't have a heated bed.
