Customer Review: I have 25 of these, each one running a laser printer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased 25 of these for one purpose: running laser printers in our sales team's vans. As you may or may not know, laser printers draw quite a few watts when they are warming up, so I wasn't even sure if these would do the trick. They always say you should have a power inverter with quite a few more watts available than you intend to use, so that's what I did.
This thing powers those laser printers without even breaking a sweat. I've had other inverters that are of much lower quality, and even a moderate draw on them causes the fans to kick into high gear, making it sound like a vacuum cleaner is running.
When it comes to electronics like this, my first impression is how heavy they are. Heavier (generally) = better quality... and these weigh a few pounds, nice and sturdy.
UPDATE: I had problems with 2 of the 25 units and Cobra sent out replacements ASAP, no questions asked. Excellent support.
Customer Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
The inverter is working for me exactly as described and as I hoped. I drive a truck and have it installed to replace an older, smaller model. I run a number of things including my laptop, external speakers, printer, TV and a coffee pot. The low input warning works great, and will shut down the inverter if necessary. I will be adding things soon, such as a microwave.
The meter is a great feature which lets me see how much power is being drawn by each device attached as well as the input voltage.
I highly recommend this inverter.
Customer Review: Great features , great price
Summary: 5 Stars
Been using this at the cabin on week ends and it works very well. Particularly like the voltage readout as you can tell when it is time to recharge the batteries.
Be aware that you should NOT connect Neutral and Ground together at the panel or you will blow this up.
I found that out the hard way by blowing two other inverters (not this brand) up before I figured it out.
Even though that worked fine off the generator it toasted (with smoke and everything) the first two inverters I put on.
Customer Review: Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This product works great, I have a microwave, flatscreen tv, and a toaster i hook up to it and there is no problems. One thing I wish would have been mentioned somewhere is that you need to purchase a 150 amp inline fuse to put in the power wire from the battery to the inverter. So plan on getting one of those and have it ready so you can install it. I didnt know about it and spent some time in North Dakota trying to find one. Enjoy.Customer Review: Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely no compalints with this inverter. After I installed it and turned it on, nothing happened. I have two other inverters of inferior quality to the Cobra and their fans run from the moment you turn them on until you turn them off. The Cobra only runs its fan when the draw is sufficient to heat up the unit. I haven't heard the fan run since I bought it. Strongly recommend the Cobra brand inverter.
