Customer Reviews

Cobra CPI-150 Power Inverter
Great little gadget that I needed to power my laptop when I travel. Good value for the money.

Perfect, except it's noisy
The product is great overall. Incredibly small for inverters (will be perfect for flying with my laptop), the power is not underrated, and the pouch it comes in is very handy.

The only downside is that it is noisy. I've heard noisier inverters, but this thing is far from silent. I can hear the cooling fan distinctly over my car's engine and road nice (and I have a pretty loud car).

Overall - still happy with the product. I needed an inexpensive, compact power inverter that can be used in a car and on a plane.

A very useful gadget for those on the go!
This is a great and reasonably priced gadget which anyone on the go can find very practical to have in the centre console of the car. I use a hand-held computer for my field work and it not only powers/charges that when I am out and about but it also charges my laptop on the go.

What I did not envisaged at the time of buying this unit was that it can charge different phones with the standard travel charger, especially when in a family there are different phones and require different chargers. One need not buy different car chargers as this unit works like a home receptacle. For twice the amount you pay for a car charger this device sure is an excellent multi purpose gadget.

This unit provides 150 continous watts of power which is more than adequate for computers and handhelds that can be charged from the 12v output of the car. I have a Corolla which I use for my field work and the 12v output can provide upto 120 watts of power as per Toyota's specs.

I accidentally droped this unit in the first week when I wanted to use it in my other car from about 3 feet. The unit survived the fall and except for slight scratch on the side it worked flawlessly and is still in use.

It also charged an old Ipod when I directly inserted it in the USB receptacle. I use a Motorola Razr phone and charge it simultaneously from USB output while the three prong receptacle is in use for the handheld.

Overall I'd say it is a good investment.

Highly recommended!
