Abeg shey nah d dayo una dey talk about be this

Yes but buy from Mama Homes website. It's 19k there.

NSEstudent:
I see.

Have you noticed any real differences with connection using the X25 pro Vs the ODU especially during network downtimes?

After usage for a while I think it's important to put this out there;
Induction cooker is great, but not a replacement for gas or infrared. From personal experience, the only major advantages are energy saving and almost zero heat in your kitchen.

The heat (Citing Dayo), is not evenly distributed compared to gas or infrared. It's more focused centrally which is not ideal for some cooking. I understand this is as a result of coil size.

Pot contact surface area to coil size ratio matters for heat distribution and effective cooking, which means different pot sizes will not cook the same.

Stir frying is almost impossible because a shift in contact will result in inefficient cooking.

I have a lot to say but I no get strength. Bottom line is these our portable induction stoves are not superior to the alternatives. Besides energy saving, don't expect magic.

dollarnaira:
Settled for the 800w settings on Dayo.
3 cups of rice get cooked in 40mins.
The way naija dey go so, one need this as normal usage and gas as backup.

Thanks to those who opened our eyes to these.
The Maxi guy and Dayo guys.

Yes o. Gas is now my back up to be used only in emergency cases.

The Dayo obviously has smaller coil hence heating is more focused on the center point rather than evenly spread. Also there's a learning curve to it, u go first burn food small 😂.

I just bought mine today

Nice. What are your first impressions?

Finally back to 4G+ & 50Mbps speeds after about 1 week.

codemaster2much:
ok thanks for your input bro

I think there might be a mix-up between PWM behavior and MPPT specs here.

For most MPPT controllers (including my PowMr 150V unit), the maximum PV input voltage is independent of the battery system voltage. The 150V rating refers to the PV open-circuit voltage limit, not whether the battery is 12V, 24V, or 48V.

In my case:

- Panels in series ≈ 90–100V Voc
- Controller max PV input = 150V

So the setup is still within safe limits.

Also, running panels in series with MPPT is generally more efficient (lower current, less cable loss, better performance in high temperatures), which is why it’s commonly recommended.

If there’s a specific PowMr model where the PV limit derates with battery voltage, I’m open to seeing the exact spec — but from what I’ve checked in the manual, this unit supports the full PV input range across system voltages.

Appreciate the input 👍

You're getting it wrong sir. The 150v max is for 48v for that controller.

waleayeni1:
Please share the details of the one you bought. And the amount

You need to read back a few pages.

osayuwamwen:
pls what is the difference between this one and the one you posted are they both maxi induction cooker,

This is Maxi. Among the first sets produced. It didn't come with a pot. The other model that comes with a pot is what's available in the markets now.

Syber:
Hey all

Selling my 5kw Growatt 5000 hybrid inverter

Bought from fouani 2 years ago

Upgraded my whole system so won't be needing this anymore

Packed up in the box and the wifi monitoring dongle in there too

Selling N250,000 so whoever is lucky enough can come pickup at my office

Interested call SEYI 08123871212

No 7, Hogan Bassey crescent, Western Avenue, Surulere ,Lagos

Also have 2 205ah tubular batteries in good condition that I used with it for sale..150k for both

24v or 48v?

zenith4biz:
I just received mine today, from the body it shows it was imported in 2023, that may be the reason for the price

On a second look, this one kinda looks smaller compared to the Maxi. Maybe it's the smaller coil..

I didn't think the difference in size between the 1,800w & 2100w would be that much.

mctfopt:
Yeah, stopped using all my non stick cookware this year. I'm now team 304/314 stainless steel cookware. Health is wealth. Crazy you'd see old nonstick cookware, well peeled, on sale as Tokunbo in Nigerian markets. Knowledge, they say, is power.

Indeed knowledge is power. Imagine deliberately sampling & selling a health hazard to the public in the name of used items.

The other day I came across a video talking about how Talcum (The famous ingredient used in our very popular powders) has been found to contain a highly carcinogenic substance.

May God help us all!

Noticed for about a week now I haven't been getting 4G+

The 4G network only gives me speeds up to about 18Mbps max on good days, except at night when it can reach up to 50Mbps.

So basically I never see even 25Mbps for a while. Airtel head dey shake.

zenith4biz:
The heat of the pot will heat the surface

Ok

zenith4biz:
Konga

Plus delivery to kano, it cost me 24,978

Interesting. The price is very decent.

I don see one giant steel pot I go dey use with mine. Bye bye to hot plate.

However I noticed mine's surface still gets a little bit hot after cooking. Please confirm if yours gets hot too. All adverts online bn say the surface no dey hot o 😂

zenith4biz:

Where did you order from?

osayuwamwen:
like will it degrade my my battery faster on the long run

No it doesn't. At 100 amps, healthy lithium batteries are rated about 6,000 cycles. Guess how many years that is.

osayuwamwen:
pls house can i use an induction cooker of 1.5kw every morning for 2hrs with little or no pv input is it say for my 8kwh battery with 100amps bms on the long run ?

That's like 63 amps. It's safe.

bassdow:
The price would mostly increase when there's more demand. Probably fakes go follow join.

Lagos pipo dey enjoy. It's 19k from their store in Lagos. On Konga you have to pay 6k transport plus the 23k

zenith4biz:
https://www.nairaland.com/8266153/finally-got-induction-cooker-tried

We have Tope and Dayo

Just confirmed this has great reviews and the price is incredible on Konga. So basically no price change since 2024 from that review.

JoeSef0:
Can you add a pic of the cooker and the brand?

It's Maxi induction cooker. If you go back on old posts you should see it. Comes with a light steel pot.

You can check out your cookware stores for it, alternatively, go to Fouani (Physical stores) or buy from online vendors. On Fouani's site it's listed at 44k but says out of stock. U can get from 50k and above depending on seller.

Manage the pics below. I never get power take pics of mine.

obinna37:
pls can I see the picture of the one you bought and how much do you buy it

Check adibo's previous quotes. It's available in stores depending on your location. Price is 50k. Got mine from a tiktok vendor based in Lagos.

zenith4biz:
This is the cheapest induction cooker you can get online currently, it's on konga, it comes with free pot

Sure but since there are no reviews how can you tell?

There's also a cheaper one on Jumia but guess what the reviews say? Glass got broken in a few days. So it's not really about the price but reliability that counts.

adibo:
Yes, true

Honestly don't give ur system unnecessary overload. If it's a bit slow u can increase to like 1,800w. Should cook faster.

adibo:
Glad you are enjoying yours. It is really fantastic. I am trying to see if I can get one with two burners. If not, I will try to get another one so I can cook two things at the same time. I want to be free from using gas as much as possible

Ok. But with that kind of speed 1 can definitely do the job pretty well though.

SourYoghurt:
thanks for your response, I am trying to upgrade from 12v but it felt like why "waste" extra 500k for 48v when I can just stick with 24v but again, I think soon my load will increase. I dun close eyes start my process to upgrade.

BTW, where did you get the cooker, online or physical store?

Physical store. Couldn't find that exact type from the online stores.

adibo:
This is it set at 800w. The way it is made, if there is no compatible pot on it, even if you put it on, the cooker won't come on. That is also a good safety feature I guess, incase one mistakenly puts it on without knowing. So, I can't snap the surface when it is working, although it does not even show any red colour, it just starts working

So following your posts I said to also get my hands on this bad boy yesterday..

I have never seen anything cook so fast in my life. At 2,100w water started boiling in seconds. And the beauty of it is the adjustable power draw.

Technology is insane.

SourYoghurt:
is 24v system that bad, everyone seems to promote 48v

No system is BAD, your choice is highly dependent on your needs + efficiency.

If any was bad then it won't be available in the market don't you think?

I've come to notice something about Fouani. Sometimes the Items that says 'out of stock' are actually still available in shops. Got an induction cooker from them at Asaba, same cooker has been out of stock on website for since God knows when.

fuckboys:
are you sure about this? Is your x25pro unlocked?

ODU is a router plan and should work with most routers, it even works with a pocket Airtel MIFi I Configured.

Chief. How's your 3 month sub going? Are you tracking data usage?

Hullabaloon:
House, out of curiosity, I want to ask: is there any one here who by virtue of staying in a good location, can say they stream champions League at night in HD without any buffering?

Anyone? Or are we all collectively bleeped by Airtels horrible inconsistent network?

Works here.. But behaves differently per subscription. Might work well on the current sub, then next month from evening network becomes terrible until midnight.

epoxide:
No super admin features.
The sub is 130gb for only new routers but can be done for you in 24 hours

Why would you want to tweak Airtel router IMEI coz of 130gb when Airtel has so much better offers. Sounds counterintuitive to me.
