Omoh but can this cooker work conveniently with a 12v 1.5kva hybrid inverter? Cos this gas palaver fit make person Dey think, especially for family man like us
It should work, but make sure to cook at 1000w

I use the maximum 2100W when I want to cook something quickly. Sometimes I use the max power to start up before reducing it to about 800W or so for continuous cooking. The performance is good enough but I wouldn't mind testing new cookers.
The Maxi is faster, but no harm in having 2.

Depends on what I'm cooking I also usually start at 2100w but then dial down to 800w after boiling have started.

just don't set yourself up Sir.

Also kindly quote your max budget because like previously said, CHEAP is relative. Chicken cost depends on who dey PRICE am
Would it not be better to just suggest what you have or what you can recommend to him, at their various prices and let him decide which one fits into his Budget, as cheap as it may be?

This idea of asking a buyer to state 'max budget' seems like a potential set-up, in my own opinion, because the Seller can just match anything to such Budget, even if such thing will normally retail at half-price of that Budget.

Chicken Price does not, and should not depend on who dey buy am, try buy from a reputable Shop and they will sell it to you, based on a fixed Price per Kilogram.

No vex for my Post, you have always been helpful, on this one, i am just expressing how l feel.

This is about 81 percent of the total capacity, so it’s not bad at all.

You got it.

Does the Mama Home cooker have simmer or stew function where it cooks steadily at the lowest or near lowest power, just like the Maxi?

You really don't get it.
The phrase "Chicken cost, na who price am" actually meant A chicken costing 500 naira could be expensive for someOne but not to the next person; hence reason I say certain things / words are relative.

Some people could easily afford a battery of 800,000 naira BUT a battery of 500,000 naira could take some other persons several weeks / months of planning + budgeting to cough up such amount.


Also this is online, and a public fora where One could always confirm certain things. If I walk into a shop and one asks me for my maxBudget, me sef no go gree talk as I go see am as setUp BUT here, it's different. You not patronizing anyOne, only looking / asking for recommendations / suggestions.

Or you expect us to recommend multiple things which would end up being useLess to you not because You don't need One BUT because they are clearly outside your budget range / financial capacity.

meanWhile, lots of people can't easily afford ordinary kpormo, while most would struggle to afford eJa panla and shaWa while to some, it's Kote or Titus or nothing. You see, EveryOne got that threshold they belong to mostly based on current phase of their life.

Have often shared how prices of some kind of USEd charge controllers can buy some BIGger Brand New Charge controllers and still mayBe have change left.
So when we ask certain questions, it's mostly to help give more helpful responses. There's been times when most people would suggest increasing your budget as the range being quoted wasn't feasible; you think they would say so if they didn't have enough data to know that.

Currently have 5kva SRNE inverter, also have SRNE 60A charge controller and they are both China based products YET expensive compared to the likes of cWorth, sMs, iTel, etc.

na from ya max budget we go know whether to suggest Victron or SRNE or MUST or feliCity, or Tecno, or inFinix, or sonyXperia, or iPhone, or motoRola, etc OR for you to go bump up ya budget.

I am rarely here to sell anything to anyOne. If you ask and I got for sale, no issue. I owe no one and no one owes me anyThing hence one of the reasons I can afford to speak without mincing words both onLine and offLine.

And no need appologizing, I no vex. I no go easily vex even if you insult me.

At the moment, what's available is 80A Felicity at 130,000 naira. It's open box. Lady bought it not knowing her inverter doesn't require one. Actually was her installer who gave her list of things to buy. DisAgreement caused them to split and we stepped in.

Transformer based inverters are much stronger and can withstand abuses better.
They are also heavier hence mostly on the floor unlike the TransformerLess that could be installed on the wall to occupy less space.

Another major difference is that Transformer based inverters are power hungry AND would cop more battery than transformerLess inverters most times. OfCourse that is not often obvious during the day if using Solar panels BUT at NIGHT when no more sunLight, it becomes obvious especially for much larger inverters with larger transformers.

Another is, if transformer based inverter goes bad, probability of successful repairs is very much higher than TransformerLess inverters.

At end of the day, they both have their Good and Bad sides so you get to choose which poison to manage.
I'd like to maybe use it too cook also. Which do you suggest. Can a 24v hybrid 2kva transformer base be good or can a transformerless hybrid work on that too

bro like he said earlier, the both transformer Nd transformerless are Good. Both each of them were twerk in different way while still serving the same possible...

Note that the later is efficient but delicate ...
Google will help u more

which do you already own ?

First I want to presume you refering to an induction cooker else don't try it.

Secondly, a 2kva inverter sould work. You just need set the control of the induction cooker so it doesn't consume more than 1,200w else it could trip off or shout overLoad.

Actually, there's almost no kind of load a transformerLess inverter can not run. You just need to apply the rule we use on Tubular batteries e.g if a transformer based inverter of 2kva runs a particular heavy load, go for like 5kva for a transformerLess inverter else you risk distroying your inverter or reducing it's life span.

Of course you can't compare inverters from brands such as SRNE, DeYe, suKan, Luminous, even Sako, etc to the likes of MUST, Welion, Luxsun, Haisic, sMs, afriPower, etc.

unfortunately, it's not mine. There's a reason I shared the price here, and not ask you send me a message.

There's actually another BUT it's the sort you buy now, and later need to replace because na similar reason the owner wan sell am.

I don't think you should be cooking with that size of inverter. But if your storage is enough, you can try with 800W and below. However, I don't recommend. So your question of if it cooks fast at 800W should be easily answered.

I already listed it's brand New open box but unUsed 80A Felicity so kindly see the spec online.

Here's the pictures on their website https://africa.felicitysolar.com/product/sccm8048-p/

Just remembered there's also SMK 80A though more expensive.

Also a couple of Hybrid and ordinary inverrters also.

As for the other one, it's not what I would suggest hence reason I didn't include it. There's a reason owner wanna sell and if you buy, just a matter of time You would be in similar situation. No need wasting Money, trying to save money.

And please let's not litter here with personal chats. You message me on whatsApp so as to keep the thread clean and focused.

Subsequent questions should be sent via voice call or whatsApp so this thread remains focused.

Thanks

Even with enough storage, if it's not 48v, or a big enough 24v, it's really pennyWisePoundsFoolish as the life span of the battery would be really affected. That it would work, doesn't mean it's worth it.

in fact if it's big enough 12v or 24v, cooking should only be done during the day when there's enough sun else that battery no go last enough number of years for the money spent to make sense.

Not true. If you cook at 1000w for instance, depending on what you're cooking it won't take more than 1hr. That's about 50a for a 24v system.

Most bms can safely discharge up to 100a for sustained hours and won't make much difference for overall battery life as long as components are properly sized. While it's good to recommend cooking when sunlight is at full blast, saying it affects the battery life significantly is being overly dramatic.
