Best air coolers under Rs 6,000

Cooler’s do have limitations in that they aren’t very effective in humid weather, but they’re great for dry summers in many areas of the country. As a bonus, coolers also function very well as air purifiers of sorts as they move a lot of air through filters soaked in water. They also happen to be inexpensive compared to air conditioners – both in terms of running costs and upfront price.

Here are the best coolers under Rs 6,000 you can buy today:

Croma AZE40

Croma’s AZE40 air cooler is an excellent choice for most homes. It retails at just Rs 5,999 before discount and offers a generous 40 litre tank capacity and a powerful fan rated at a flow rate of 1500 cubic feet per minute. This is sufficient to cover an area of about 180 square feet and the air itself can be blown about 27 feet. Max power consumption is 155 W at full load.

Crompton Jedi PAC

This 35-litre personal air cooler from Crompton boasts of a coverage area of 150 sft and an air flow rate of 706.29 cfm. This might seem low compared to the previous model, but then this cooler consumes less power and is less noisy overall. It’s great if you want a cooler for smaller rooms or don’t need as much cooling capacity and would rather save on the electricity bill.

Kenstar Pulse HC

This diminutive cooler sells for just Rs 4,490 on Croma, which is a great price for a personal air cooler. The 20-litre capacity allows the cooler to be more compact but the cooler’s size doesn’t affect its capabilities. Total coverage area is a generous 215 sft, air flow is 353 cfm, and the air throw is 25 feet. You’ll need to refill the unit frequently in especially hot conditions, but otherwise the Kenstar Pulse HC is a great deal.

Blue Star Astra

The Blue Star Astra features cross drift technology which apparently helps improve coverage. This is apparent from the rating as the Pulse is claimed to have a coverage area of 215 sft with despite an air throw of 12 ft. The unit also comes with a mosquito filter and run on an inverter without issues. Yours for Rs 5,999.

Crompton Surebreeze

If you’re looking for a high-capacity tower cooler, the Surebreeze is a great choice. Featuring a slim design but a 35 litre capacity and powerful air flow (about 1150 cfm), this one is great for when you want rapid cooling in a small space. It can cover an area of up to 230 sft despite its footprint, and is energy efficient enough to run off an inverter. It’s available on Croma for Rs 6,649.

We’d recommend measuring your room size and finalising cooling requirements before settling on a cooler design, as not all coolers are suited for all homes.
