Have you heard of the NEPAless iron? Iron Rhino.


'Nepaless Iron’ is actually called the Iron Rhino and is the innovative brain child of a Nigerian Engineer, Ayokunle Adeniran. A graduate of Covenant University, ‘Sean’ as he is fondly called by his friends, works as a mechanical design engineer in the United States, and has found a way around having to wait for the ‘NEPA’ before getting nicely pressed outfits. 

The Iron Rhino is a gas powered device which is portable and easy to use. What to know about "Iron Rhino" ? The Iron Rhino is a product designed in response to the inability of people to iron their clothes due to electrical power outages. It is a butane gas (LPG ~ Liquified Petroleum Gas) powered pressing iron, meaning it does not require electricity to function. It looks very similar to and functions like existing electric irons. The butane gas comes in canisters that retail for about N120 and can last for 1 week usage at 20 minutes daily ironing. 

The inspiration to develop Iron Rhino came from disappointment that led the Inventor (Mr AyoKunle Adeniran) to come up with an alternative source of powering clothes iron. It took about 2 years to complete the first prototype of the Iron Rhino during which the patent had to be filed and the processing took about 4 years. Rhino is user friendly because the design was built around user ergonomics, while safety was not compromised. The iron functions at most habitable environmental conditions making it very reliable.
