I found the exact same item in a truck stop for $50 more than I paid. This has all the power I need. I run a refridgerator, microwave, TV, & sometimes a coffee pot from it. the safety features are great and performance is excelent. I HIGHLY recommend this inverter.

We have purchased other brands that were no match to the Cobra. The last inverter lasted over 5 yrs with heavy use in a semi truck. I highly recommend a Cobra hands down. Also the Walmart online is over $69 less than the direct site & got the express shipping & it was still less than the direct site with regular shipping.
Walmart & Cobra Inverters ROCK!!

Review 3 for Cobra CPI 1575 1,500W, 12V DC To 120V AC Power Inverter
NOT FOR A MICROWAVE even though it says it is

I bought this to power a 700 watt output (1200 at the plug) small sunbeam microwave in my work van, it says on the box AND cobras website that this is possible. Guess what, set it all up microwave basically will just buzz and do nothing. Tried 2 diff micros- no good. After more research i learned that a microwave needs a Pure Sine Wave AC current to operate its inductive motor. This cobra is a modified sine wave. I sent this back to walmart, bought a "pure sine" from lowes, microwave now works great. The pure sine i bought it actually less watts too (1200 for 20 minutes, 1000 continuous, 2000 peak ) I was powering both with a 4ft 4gage set of wires. If your not powering a microwave this seems to be an otherweis great inverter, has a nice digital readout and easy install.

I researched this inverter through reviews and thought I understood what I was buying,I just bought
this inverter and a 700 watt microwave thinking this was plenty of power to run it! I installed according to the directions,48" of 4ga. wire,8ga. chasis ground and an ANL-250 fuse close to the battery. When I turn on the microwave the inverter starts beeping and the microwave just makes a humming noise. If I start the vehicle the microwave will run but my alternater on my vehicle is making a loud whining noise. I called tech support and they told me that it will not work unless the vehicle is running. He said it is drawing 86 amps fom my battery but it will not hurt anything. The voltage meter says it is only putting out 93 volts.I suggest your purchase this at your own risk. It will run a drill or grinder just fine. I was a little dissapointed after spending over $200 for everything to find out it will not do what I want it to do without burning up my alternater,like they say a fool and his money are soon parted!!!!!

This inverter would not power a 900 watt single cup coffee maker or even power up a 250 Watt Amplifier unit all the way. Worked fine for lighting only. Also never would show any draw reading when used. A 30 year old 300 watt Radio Shack inverter operates the same stated Amplifer just fine.

still going strong

I've been using this product for 5 years now in my truck, it runs my fridge mic pc and tv.
If you don't hook your cables rite or use a smaller amp battery it wont deliver full power.

LOve it. I was looking for something to power my fridge. It works great with my solar panels. I am still looking for more "off the grid" things. So, I look at wal mart more.

Review 7 for Cobra CPI 1575 1,500W, 12V DC To 120V AC Power Inverter
very impressed

I had shopped all over the internet comparing prices and specifications. The Corba inverter had more power and features for the buck. One other thing that helped with my choice was the "Cobra" brand name. I am very satisfied, you might even say impressed. I am using it for back up power for my wood pellet burning stove. It runs it with no problems.

difficult to use

my purpose for this product was to use my sons xbox 360 in my car through my battery (to power it ) but it doesn't come with a cigarette charger, only with battery clamps. i would have to run it through my battery for my son to be able to play while i drive. so it might have been my ignorance. had one professionally installed in my suv, this one had to go back.
