Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cobra CPI 1575 1500 Watt 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter
Customer Review: Solar System
Summary: 4 Stars
The first unit I bought was suspicious from the beginning.
When the input voltage was 12V it complained that the voltage was too low and therefore it shutdown.
Needless to say, it failed a short while after.
I received a replacement unit from Amazon, and this one is working the way it should.
The inverter is a little sensitive on the low current side, but it works.
I love the digital voltage display.
The watt meter is not accurate at low power consumption, but gives a more realistic reading at higher power consumption levels.
Customer Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
The inverter is working for me exactly as described and as I hoped. I drive a truck and have it installed to replace an older, smaller model. I run a number of things including my laptop, external speakers, printer, TV and a coffee pot. The low input warning works great, and will shut down the inverter if necessary. I will be adding things soon, such as a microwave.
The meter is a great feature which lets me see how much power is being drawn by each device attached as well as the input voltage.
I highly recommend this inverter.
Customer Review: Great features , great price
Summary: 5 Stars
Been using this at the cabin on week ends and it works very well. Particularly like the voltage readout as you can tell when it is time to recharge the batteries.
Be aware that you should NOT connect Neutral and Ground together at the panel or you will blow this up.
I found that out the hard way by blowing two other inverters (not this brand) up before I figured it out.
Even though that worked fine off the generator it toasted (with smoke and everything) the first two inverters I put on.
Customer Review: Works Great
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this unit for 2 years now at my cabin and it works great. I use it to invert my 12V battery bank voltage to 111.7V. I removed one star as the description states that it will provide 120V but it doesn't hit that number. I mostly notice it when running a small room fan in the Summer. At home with 117V outlets the fan pumps out the air flow, but the same fan at 111V is almost half the speed.
Definitely a great buy and I think for most applications the loss of a few volts will never be noticed.
Customer Review: garbage
