Product Use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine however the connection cord is too short and the off/on button is very sensitive. I was using with a Bluetooth stereo connection in the car and every time I moved my coffee cup it would disconnect the device.

Posted .Thank you so much for choosing Cobra and for taking the time to leave our product such a great review.
Okay power... Could use some improvements..
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to run a laptop that draws around 160W. While running the laptop, starting the vehicle makes the voltage drop (obviously) and the inverter beeps continuously (even after the vehicle is running). If you disconnect whatever you have plugged in (or turn the inverter off) before starting the vehicle, it avoids this. It would be nice to have a "self-healing" feature. I plan to buy the remote for this so I can tuck it away behind the dash in my truck.
