Best air cooler brands in India (2025)

There’s a wide variety of air cooler brands available in India. The coolers themselves feature a very simple design, after all, and almost anyone can make them. What sets these brands apart is the availability of devices and the reach and effectiveness of the service network. 

When going for an air cooler, you need a brand that can help not only deliver a cooler to you, but also guide you towards a model based on your needs and provide good after-sales support as and when needed. Coolers are only used a few months of the year, after all, and generally require a quick servicing and clean-up after months of disuse.

Croma air coolers

Croma needs no introduction. A well-established and trusted brand, Croma’s air coolers are simple, effective, and available in a wide variety of form factors designed to suit every need. Croma’s advantage over many other brands is that it has a strong retail presence across India, including a vast network of service centres and offline stores. Both online and offline stores are staffed with experts who can help consumers like you and me with our questions and service related issues. This 40-litre personal air cooler is one of Croma’s most popular offerings.

Bajaj air coolers

Bajaj is another well-established brand that needs no introduction. It’s a brand with a rich legacy and one of the widest service and support networks in India. The brand also has a well-deserved reputation for making quality products that last a lifetime, making a Bajaj air cooler a no-brainer in the Indian market.

Symphony air coolers

While perhaps not as well known as the likes of Croma or Bajaj, Symphony has been around for nearly 40 years and is headquartered in Gujarat. This company has produced and sold a variety of household appliances, but has had a particular focus on air coolers for some time now, including commercial air coolers. They have experience and pedigree in the air cooler department, making their coolers a great buy for Indian summers.

Crompton air coolers

Crompton Greaves has been around for nearly 100 years at this point, which should be testament enough to the company’s brand value, ethics, and the quality of the products it makes. They make excellent air coolers, including some with PM2.5 filters and silver coating to reduce allergens and dust, smoother and more powerful pumps, and more. They offer coolers in a variety of designs, including window and tower coolers. As expected, Crompton has a rather large and extensive service network, which should give peace of mind to us consumers.

Kenstar air coolers

At about 30 years old, Kenstar is a ‘relatively new’ entrant in India. Still, they’ve designed and sold some excellent air coolers here and are competing pretty well against more established Indian brands. They make everything from desert coolers to personal and tower coolers and more. They also integrate advanced technologies like BLDC motors, boast of over 350 service centres, and export their products to 30+ countries. It may be a relatively new brand, but one with a solid reputation.

Air coolers are readily and easily available everywhere, including at large retailers like Croma who can take care of delivery and installation, among other things.

The only thing to keep in mind when buying an air cooler is that you might want to buy one just before summer hits because the sudden increase in demand during peak summer months can result in a shortage or shipping delays at a time when you most need the air cooler.
