Thanks everyone.. Then I think it might be better than using gas.

please gas is safer and better,

Pickmycall:
1000 watts is energy consuming.

.... sorry coming back with the factor.

100% yes. We have been using it for more than 1 year. It saves gas usage and cheap

The wattage will determine if it does not consume or not, but any appliance that has an heating element will definitely consume voltage.

Lukgaf:
I read online that this infrared cooker uses less energy on prepaid meters. Could anyone who has experience with it kindly share a review?

Thanks 😔

the rating from this is 2000w

2000w is more power than an ac.

you also need to be aware that it is a chinko product and you cannot trust its documentation. it may actually consumer more or less than 2000w in spite of what is written

hayjayman:
Go and you those ones that they normally cut into two at alaba market, which have flat element inside it.. Tell them you want flat element and not coil spring element.. When u dey use am you go think say you bypass the prepaid meter ni, you will come back here tí thank me..

Is this what you mean?

Hmm anything with heating element forget it

For Band A users: If you run a 2000w rating for 2 hrs cooking beans, this is the cost:

1unit = 1kwh or 1000wh = #200

For 2000w for 2hrs of cooking beans:
2000 × 2= 4000wh = 4kwh

But 1kwh = 1unit = #200

So your 4kwh=4unit: 4 × 200 = #800 for 2hrs usage!!

Anything that converts electricity to temperature dey chop units. Forget any English

I bought mine last two months, it has adjustable wattage from 2,500w, 1800w, 1200w, 600w and 100w. So it's prepaid meter friendly.

Get yourself an induction cooktop and thanks me later, cheaper than using gas

It is not meter-friendly. I recommend it for those using estimated billing. I have the 4 burner rated 6600W. I also have the 2-burner, which wat I can't ascertain because it's been cut into 2, and the control knobs have been removed.

No be english, na just basic maths

A good hack . Any induction material helps you cook faster at lesser energy cost.
So an induction pot could for instance use the same energy for the stove and cook the beans in 1 hr instead of 2.

Can you send the picture of your own?

gbaskiboy:
Buy the fabricated one that most electrical shops sell. Am quite sure that, that very one does not consume much energy with 1.5 unit of light you can use it up to four hours to cook.

that one is worse. It doesn't regulate unlike the one the Op posted

See your power rating with damaged knobs. Why you no go shout "Its not friendly" 🤣🤣


See your maths running that thing for one hr on band A:

At #200 per unit it is
6600 ×1 = 6600wh= 6.6kwh= 6.6unit

6.6 ×200 =#1320 for 1hr of cooking
I'm assuming you run it at full blast with the lack of control

Yes you right, the only problem is you can't use aluminum cookware on the cooktop..

1000watts is 1unit if used for an hour. So think twice, especially if you like beans😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

If its cooking over gas or electric heater, everyone (that can afford it) needs an induction pot for that "hard to done" meal.

Just got one of that 2 days ago. It's now expensive though. Those that use with prepaid attest to it's friendliness with prepaid compared to the high price of gas.

Have not really used for long sha, I was told to check the consumption on the prepaid after usage.

Has adjustable wattage, even when on 600watts the heat is okay and it cooks. Considering I am on band B it's very okay fa.

Range of mine is 100-3000 I think, but what do you need the heat generated from 3000w, that's too much at 900w the heat is much.

I think the selling point is that it's adjustible wattage and has even heating.

QuickTrade:
Power rating of about 1000 watts (default). But it is said to be adjustable between 100 - 2200 watts, if not, it's not prepaid Meyer friendly

No matter how you adjust it, still same consumption over time. 100watts becomes 1000watts consumption overtime to get same work done.

That is ,100watts keeps your food longer on the stove

Zico5:
Even common electricity, Tinubu has turned it to gold. I remember my days in University then when electric stove is the main standard for all the students. Hardly can u find any student without electric stove but today, nobody can use electric stove because of draconian policy of one drug addict. Nigeria is gone.

Go abroad where electricity is free nah!! You are the reason why many tertiary institutions can't pay their energy bills till date because you were all used to and felt entitled to everything free without wanting to pay that's why everything govt is comatose......if you had been paying what was due and fair,we still wouldn't be complaining about power outages today.

Education is one of the cheapest in Nigeria that's the problem that govt has been having with doctors who train here for almost free and then take their expertise abroad to benefit another society in the name of greener pastures,which ever side you decide to look at it,they both have a point.

You want govt to provide petrol, education,health,jobs,free roads etc but don't ever want to pay tax.

Other than getting my beans ready in 30 mins, I can't tell. 🤣🤣

Loool @ 3000w the heat will be terrible even worse than those ones they cut and sell at Alaba.

Before I bought mine I asked and asked, they said it's prepaid meter friendly.

Omo na charcoal and fire wood I dey use cook o, if u chop firewood jollof, u go slap your mama I swear

tanigororo:
Check for it's wattage/hr that is how to know if it consume energy.
Yet to see electric cooker that doesn't consume energy

I use electric cooker and it is far cheaper than gas. I only use gas if there is no light.

Just buy the new one from china 1000w and you will enjoy it, don't go for the fairly used ones imported from Germany oo unless you are not on prepaid

Just get a steel pot, or Aluminum pot coated with steel underneath, believe me this is cook faster than gas

Lukgaf:
Thanks everyone.. Then I think it might be better than using gas.

It is not just better but far better than using gas at 1300 per kg. My electric stove is 1000w and I am on prepaid still I enjoy it . Nothing concern me with gas unless there is no light.

Get yourself the China made ones instead of the fairly used unless you are not on prepaid.

Electric stove is the best cooking option because it hardly burns your food unlike gas

Can you help with pictures please?

Thanks for helping.

I gat you. Which means it only works favourably with inverter
