Catalogue listing — not a hands-on review
We have not tested this unit. The specifications below are parsed from the manufacturer's own listing, the features are their wording, and the score is calculated from those specifications rather than assigned by an editor. For models we have examined in depth, see our ranked air coolers guides.
About this model
The Hindware Frostwave 38L Personal is a personal air cooler with a 38 litre tank, selling for ₹5,399 on Amazon.in (MRP ₹12,990, so 58% off on the day we checked). That is well under the ₹7,299 typical for a personal air cooler in this catalogue.
The listing gives 1,400 m³/hr of air delivery. Honeycomb pads cope better with hard water and are simple to rinse.
Where these figures come from: the Amazon.in listing for this cooler (ASIN B0CTKPSW1C), read on 12 October 2026. We have not tested it ourselves, and Amazon prices move daily, so check the live price before you buy.
Manufacturer's stated features
- Honeycomb pads, which cool better per litre than wood wool and rinse clean easily
- 1,400 m³/hr air delivery as listed
- Ice chamber for a short boost on the hottest days
Worth noting
- Evaporative cooling fades once humidity passes about 60%, so it suits dry heat far better than coastal or monsoon air
- Wattage is not listed, so the running cost cannot be worked out
When this is not a good choice
Every condition below is derived from this product's published specifications and from how it compares with the air coolers we track — so you can check each one against your own room, supply or budget rather than take our word for it.
You live outside a metro or a major service town
Hindware's service network is rated good rather than excellent. Spare parts and callout times decide how a air cooler holds up over the years, so check service for your pin code before you buy.
