    I had issues with my particular unit. Not sure if it was due to trying to pull too much power or a faulty unit, but it seems to have damaged a rental vehicle’s electrical system. Take this with a grain of salt; it’s entirely possible it was due to my negligence rather than the product.

    Had to give it one star but don’t deserve any stars. They should rename from cobra to crap. The first one did not work. They gave me a second one but this time I tried it and it worked but as soon as I connected a device it stopped working. Do not do not do not buy cobra.

      We appreciate your valuable feedback. Your Power Inverter provides five levels of protection. Auto-shut off will occur when the safe operating temperature has been exceeded, auto-shutdown will occur if the DC input exceeds safe operating levels, the inverter will automatically shut off to prevent a dead battery condition, the inverter will not operate if connected incorrectly to the power source, and will sound an alarm to indicate a low battery voltage condition. You can find detailed descriptions in your owner's manual. Should you require assistance, please contact us at 800-543-1608. Thank you. cedarelectronics-cobra

    Doesnt stay powered on long enough for me to test or use. Possibility a limitation of my car's cigarette lighter plug and maximum amperage. Will try direct connect to battery next.

    I liked that it stored a small amount of energy even after turned off. Enough to charge phone or speaker. Doesnt throw random fault alarms like other inverters that ive had. Great product

    Item was purchased for temporary/portable use but it's screw down mounting feet easily allow for a more permanent install. Worked flawlessly and the usb ports nice feature.

    Works like a charm for charging my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and any other devices I have that do not have standard plugs germane to vehicles. I highly recommend this inverter.

    Does not last long and is cheap. If your not using it for anything that can pull power you should be good. Its great for charging phones but thats it.
