Frequently asked questions
What can I get for ₹15,000 to ₹20,000?
51 models, from the Ram Coolers Metal Ultracool 300NH at ₹15,200 to the Symphony More 4D 125 at ₹19,991. Tanks run 45-200 litres.
Is it worth spending more?
Up to a point. Above roughly ₹12,000 the additional money buys published air-delivery figures, better pumps, longer warranties and remotes rather than fundamentally more cooling. Beyond about ₹25,000 you are buying industrial build for a factory floor, not a better bedroom cooler.
Does an air cooler work in humid weather?
Poorly. Evaporative cooling needs dry air; above about 60% relative humidity it mostly adds moisture. Buy on your city's summer humidity, not on the price band.
