  1. JimmyA

    Plenty of juice to run about anything you could need in the car. I even ran an electric heating pad for my daughter when her stomach was hurting. I use mainly to charge drill batteries, faster phone charging and charge my laptop on the go. If I needed to I could even bring along my printer if I needed to print documents on the go.

  2. Born2BeHerd

    Product workednas expected. Would recmemd product.

  3. CharlesH

    It’s working great, I’ve pulled all 500 Watts out of it for over an hour and it works. It’s noticeably less money than similar ones, from an established brand and I’m very happy with it.

  4. Brentw

    I was planning to use this in my Jeep to power a laptop computer. I travel a good bit and this would be a good source of power.

    It worked maybe 15 minutes. Then it started to beep an alarm as if it was overloaded….when it wasn’t. I could turn it off and back on, and it would charge for a few minutes then alarm again. So I returned it.

  5. DavidS

    If you connect this directly to a car battery this unit works well.
    However…when operating on cigarette lighter it would not power my MacBook ProSpecs say it should…it didn’t.
    The cooling fan is very noisy.

  6. Marce

    Works great truly recommend. The rapid phone charger is absolutely fast and great.

  7. Ross

    Bought this to replace an old 400W. Plugged in and it fired up and has been running great with no issues. Has a power switch to power it on and off without having to unplug it, which is nice.

  8. KrisG247

    Excellent product and price! I would highly reccomended this product!

  9. TJinTN

    It does exactly what it is supposed to do. No issues so far.

  10. BernardN

    This thing is a beast works great for powering my 17 inch MacBook Pro. It’s more bulky than others but so far it’s more reliable.

  11. CliveD

    Very simple and reliable. Works like a charm. However I’m not sure if the plug itself is too long or my outlet is too short. The connection is very prone to fall out if touched

  12. GEORGE

    Super fast inverter always liked cobra for sure seems strong so far.

  13. JosephM

    The charger is very good. Sadly the cord that connects to the cars 12v compartment is too small it needs to be extended longer

  14. DPAS

    Returned it couldnt power ot it on no instructions

  15. MichaelB

    Not a good product
    Over heats
    Cuts off
    I regret purchasing it

  16. Luis

    Worked good when i went camping for three days. I needed it for an inflatable mattress.

  17. JohnG

    Worked first time every time. Used it in an RV conversion for several different appliances with one car battery as the power source. Worked well with one appliance or lights and charging a phone or other accessory. Our power source depleted quickly and needs to upgrade. Inverter is a good product needing a better power source than I used.

  18. LeslieE

    Has been a good inverter to charge my computer in my truck for over a month now.

  19. Rexing

    Blew the fuse in my car. I wouldn’t recommend this for use in your car

  20. ShawnaM

    Works as designed. Won’t get full 500 watts through in car have to connect it to the battery.

  21. VincentB

    Very cool TV and so easy to set up from opening the box to setiny it up and bam it worked

  22. Rhino

    Worked perfectly, hooked it to my car battery and was able to pump up my air mattress in the middle of the woods.

  23. PeteM

    this design needs work. I’ve had it installed for 1 week and although the connections in the back are secure every time I hit a bump or touch the unit it gives this annoying horrible beep. it does the same on start up and shutdown.. In it’s defense it does charge fast but the drawbacks just don’t make it worth it. Returning this one and getting something better (I hope)

  24. TurtleVerified

    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.

  25. Opinionated

    I have purchased two of these ans they died within an hour of being used. Stay away

  26. JayJay

    I would not recommend this product because the quality is very poor

  27. Frank

    Works great, just as advertised. Cobra, is the brand when it comes to power inverters

  28. CustomerThatTrustedInstal

    Works well. Durable and high output. Looks good and has a useful number out outlets.

  29. JoshuaP

    Worked many times within the first month..worth the money,and saved me much more without a ticket or insurance hikes.

  30. LauraB

    I bought this so I can work even when I’m traveling. It has never failed me. It is very handy and easy to plug in. One of my best purchase so far.

  31. CrystalT

    Works like it’s supposed too! We are on year 3 since we bought it!

  32. Edwin

  33. Unknown

    Thank you and I am happy with my purchase. Would recommend.

  34. Jdp111

    Good power inverter well built no issues at all. Would recommend

  35. Freezer

    This came in handy inside the car . The converter is better being attached to the battery.

  36. ReneS

    I have this on my work vehicle, and it’s the best inverter ever.
    Works great, and never had any issues with the battery.

  37. SamR3

    Works well. No complaints. A little smaller than I thought it would be which is nice.

  38. Cassius

    Great product! I needed a powerful inverter to carry a heater AC load!

  39. RonaldH

    This is a pice of junk would not work with a 35w dock just would stop working then have to replug and work for 5min then stop

  40. Unknown

    The build quality on the product is very solid and feels very premium. Very easy to setup and use. Instruction manual is very straightforward and helpful.

  41. NilsaiA

    Excellent for traveling and on the Go! Recommended!

  42. trav

    I have no ac in my car and this works great to plug in a house fan to stay cook

  43. user340151

    My old Cobra seemed to work a little better than the new one, this one makes a beeping noise every time I start my truck even though it’s hard wired.

  44. JoseP

    Very heavy duty,
    Works amazing,
    Wish it had a longer cord

  45. MarkD

    I recently purchased the Cobra CPI500W Power Inverter from Best Buy, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. This sleek and powerful device has become an essential companion for my on-the-go lifestyle, providing a reliable source of power whenever and wherever I need it.

    The first thing that caught my attention is the stylish design of the power inverter. The black color and compact size make it visually appealing, and it seamlessly blends with the interior of my car. The build quality is top-notch, giving it a sturdy feel that instills confidence in its durability.

    One of the standout features of the CPI500W is its impressive 500-watt power capacity. This inverter effortlessly handles a variety of electronic devices, from laptops and smartphones to small appliances. The consistent power output ensures that my devices operate smoothly without any hiccups, making it an ideal choice for road trips, camping, or any situation where access to a power source is limited.

    The fast charge USB ports are a game-changer for me. With the CPI500W, I can charge my devices quickly and efficiently, eliminating the need to carry multiple chargers. The convenience of having both AC and USB outputs in a single device is a major plus, and it has significantly simplified my charging setup.

    Installation was a breeze, thanks to the clear and user-friendly instructions provided. The inverter securely fits into my car’s power outlet, and the compact design allows for easy storage when not in use. The built-in protection features, such as overload and overheat protection, provide peace of mind knowing that my devices are safe from potential damage.

    In terms of performance, the CPI500W truly stands out. It delivers a consistent and reliable power supply, and I’ve experienced no issues with fluctuations or disruptions during use. The silent operation is another bonus, ensuring that I can enjoy the benefits of the inverter without any annoying buzzing or humming sounds.

    In conclusion, the Cobra CPI500W Power Inverter has proven to be a fantastic investment for anyone in need of a reliable and versatile power source on the go. Whether you’re a frequent traveler, outdoor enthusiast, or simply want a backup power solution for emergencies, this inverter is a must-have. I highly recommend the Cobra CPI500W to anyone looking for a high-quality power inverter that delivers on both performance and convenience.

  46. rbiqueen

    Great source of power! I love my new power station!

  47. LauraE

    This product solved my problem. Worked immediately. Heavy durable product.

  48. JustinW

    As sad as I am in the quality of this product, I’m even sadder by little concern over our hard earned money when buying defective products. They gave me 14 days to return this item and I didn’t try to use it for a month as soon as I open the box I could smell burnt electronics

  49. Christopher

    Best buys customer service for return treated me as if I was disposable. The 20 year old manager treated me like I was child, ripped the opened box while I inspecting it. Did not except my return because “it is after Christmas and we are being strict with returns”. The manager on the customer service line never called me back. Why would I ever buy something from Best buy again.

  50. Flogrow

    Not true to specs in the slightest returned upon testing
