 Excellent Inverter - And I've tried them allDec 06, 2007
By M. Hynes
This is a great product. It is perfect in (almost) every way. Smallest 150 watt inverter around. Very quiet. Works both in the car and on a plane. Has both a 3-prong AC and USB powerpoints. It shines particularly well verses the 'big-black' inverters for traveling for 3 reasons. 1) Again, it is so quiet that more often than not you can't even hear it; 2) when you re-start the ignition on your car it properly resets itself and keeps providing power (unlike the 'big-black' units which are universally dumb and unpower themselves); 3) if your car's battery voltage drops (because it is cold...older battery...or you are not running the engine) this unit tends to keep working whereas most others sense the voltage drop and quit working. The only minor quirk with it is that the silver-tipped spring that you insert into the lighter socket is overly sprung and in some cars you need to occasionally re-push it into the lighter. An annoyance but not a deal breaker. Overall I cannot recommend this enough. The only other unit that comes close is the Xantrex 175 watt unit (#813-0291). It has all of the above qualities except that the airline portion of the adapter would not seperate correctly from the cigarette portion of its cord. This resulted in the unit's tip being slightly loose at the plastic seem of the cigarette portion of the adapter.

Approved by a designer.Mar 17, 2011
By Nick
I spent an absurd amount of time comparing the different inverters on Amazon and finally decided on this one. I'm glad I did, and I am a very persnickety designer. Unlike some of the other ones I was looking at, this one has a clean, slim design. Most inverters must be triple or quadruple the size and weight, if not more! This one is light and tiny, about half the size of a small paperback book, if even that. The plastic it is made out of is the high quality impact resistant stuff, not the fragile junk I was half expecting. The cord is detachable and is just right to keep the inverter out of the way of things like your shifter, but not too long that it's messy. The product comes with this nice little case for the inverter and cord which is pretty handy, perfect for storing it in the glove box. I just got it but have tested it out and it was charging my laptop. I recommend going with this one, you will be happy.

Perfect, except it's noisyJan 25, 2009
By Seth Baklor
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!Jan 12, 2009
By Anis Y. Jiwani
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!

Cobra Power InverterJan 18, 2012
By Joe
Pros: replaceable 20A fuse, USB port, quiet, case included, cig lighter plug or airline plug.
Cons: Cord could be longer, additional USB port would be nice too.
Conclusion: Works great in the car for long trips just remember to keep it ventilated.
