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 refrigerator guides.
About this model
The Kenstar Pulse 20 Litre is a desert air cooler with a 20 litre tank, listed by Kenstar at ₹4,990 against an MRP of ₹7,990. That puts it below the ₹13,990 median for desert air coolers here.
On the specification: and it draws 80 W, which is roughly ₹1,152 across a 180-day season at ₹8 a unit. The honeycomb media is the right choice for hard water and is simple to rinse out.
Every figure here is Kenstar's own published specification, read from kenstar.in on 18 September 2026. We have not run this cooler; the score is calculated from those specs by the method printed on the air-cooler hub. Check the Amazon and Flipkart links before buying — street prices in a sale week are often below the brand store's own.
Manufacturer's stated features
- 20 litre tank — fewer refills through a long, dry afternoon
- Honeycomb pads: better cooling per litre of water than wood wool, and far easier to rinse
- Draws 80 W — roughly ₹1,152 a season at ₹8/unit, a fraction of an air conditioner
- Separate ice chamber for a short boost on the hottest afternoons
Worth noting
- Evaporative cooling: performance falls away once relative humidity passes about 60%, so it suits dry heat far better than coastal or monsoon air
- Kenstar does not publish an air delivery or air throw figure for this model, so cooling reach cannot be compared directly
- Needs an open window or door — in a sealed room it raises humidity until cooling stops
- Pads and the water tank need rinsing through the season, or airflow drops and the unit starts to smell
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
Kenstar's service network is rated good rather than excellent. Filter availability and callout times are what decide whether a purifier is still running in five years, and they are worth checking for your pin code before you buy.

About Kenstar
A long-standing Indian cooling and kitchen-appliance brand, now under Everstone Capital, with a small but coherent desert-cooler range. Only 5 models could be verified at Kenstar's own published price, all desert format and all on honeycomb pads, from ₹4,990 to ₹13,490 with 20 to 70 litre tanks. Kenstar has publicly launched BEE 5-star rated coolers, which is notable because India's star-labelling programme for evaporative coolers only began in 2025.
