A Nigerian lady who purchased the Itel Power Tank portable solar device for N300,000 has shared her honest review after using it for four months. She bought the device after discovering that full solar panel installation was beyond her budget. The lady, who works remotely, uses the device to power her laptop, phones, ring light, and fibre router during power outages. She reported that the device kept her running through a three- to four-day power outage without interruption, leading her to recommend it to other remote workers seeking a cost-effective backup power solution.
Why She Chose the Itel Power Tank Over Full Solar Installation
The lady explained that she initially planned to install a proper solar system in her apartment. However, after receiving quotes from installers, the costs far exceeded what she had budgeted. Rather than stretch her finances, she opted for the Itel Power Tank as a more affordable alternative. She wrote, "I started using this when I was seriously considering installing solar in my apartment. But after making inquiries, the budget was beyond what I had budgeted." She wanted a device that could keep her powered whenever the grid went off.
She also considered pairing the Power Tank with two 530W Jinko panels, but that plan stalled when her caretaker delayed approving the installation. By the time approval came through, the funds had already been spent elsewhere. She admitted with humour that her caretaker has since been following up, asking when she plans to install the panels, while she acknowledged she has been putting it off.
Her Verdict After Four Months of Use
Four months into using the device, the lady described the purchase as money well spent. On a typical day, she runs her laptop, mobile phones, ring light for content creation, and a fibre router off the device. She noted that performance holds up well as long as she avoids overloading it with too many appliances simultaneously.
The most telling test came during a period when her area experienced power outages lasting three to four consecutive days. According to her, the Power Tank kept her going throughout without interruption. She wrote, "Four months in, I'd say this is a great buy. Worth every penny." She closed with a clear recommendation for anyone working remotely who needs a reliable but reasonably priced power solution.
Not a Sponsored Post, Says User
The lady, who posts under the handle @abonyi_maryann, was careful to clarify that the post was not sponsored content. She stated, "This is not an ad, but if you're a remote worker looking for something not very expensive and also reliable, this is worth considering." Her review comes amid growing interest in alternative power solutions in Nigeria, where grid electricity remains unreliable for many households and businesses.
