Summer 2024 Cooler Comparisons

It is summer and you have to put a cooler along with the fan so that your room is completely chilled, you don't feel humid and you get proper relief from the heat. But which coolers? I will tell you this. I have bought all the coolers in the market in 2024 so that I can show you a comparison video and tell you which is the best cooler in India in 2024. You know my name, right? Vineet Malhotra. And I make such videos so that you can get help. This one is also for you. I don't have any love or enmity with any brand. I only love you. I don't collaborate with any brand. All these coolers you are seeing, which are many, I know, we have spent about a year testing all of them. We have been making videos on coolers for the last 3 years. And we have been testing all the models in different rooms for the last 1 year. No brand has sent us these coolers saying, "Take this and please show it in your video". That is not the case. We show you true views on this channel and do not make any collaboration videos. It is important for you to know this because I will tell you about my earnings in the video later but first I will tell you only three things related to the cooler. Understand those three things very carefully so that when you buy a cooler, you don't have any wrong expectations and you can properly chill your room. Listen to these three things. Many of you will ask in the comment section that the steel coolers of the old times were the best. But I want to answer those people humbly that with the material of the body of the cooler, it cannot be decided how much your room is going to cool down. The body material does not have to cool down your room. Your room has to be cooled down by a good cooler, by the good technology present in it, and how you are ventilating your room. You should understand that an air cooler particularly a desert air cooler is the best for a dry climate. If the temperature is 45°C in your area, no problem at all. Cooler can cool the room so well provided you have properly ventilated it. What is ventilation? Simple. Open a window or door in your room and then run the cooler. The cooler needs fresh air to cool or chill your room. If you are worried about humidity or if you live in humid areas, then you are thinking that you live near the sea beach and you will run the cooler and the humidity will be over. It is impossible. Cooler never ends humidity, in fact, it will increase humidity. So please, come out of this myth. And if a brand claims that our cooler will end humidity or will do humidity management, it is impossible. Most of the time, they can do this, that the water that is going on the cooling pads, they can reduce that a little. That's it. Nothing more. So, come out of this brand's marketing gimmicks. Now some of you will go to Amazon or Flipkart, will read the paper specs of the cooler and will see, 100 feet of air throw, 70 feet of air throw, 80 feet of air throw. Do you want to sit 80 feet away and get the air of the cooler? Try to understand this practically. If there is an air throw of 50, 60, or 70 feet in a cooler, then what is the practical usage of that? Zero. You have to see how effectively the cooler in your room, which is 200, 250, or 300 sq. ft. at most can cool it properly. You have to see this. You won't be affected by the good paper specs. You won't be affected by the air throw. Understand this thing carefully. And in practical usage, the cooler that cools the most effectively, I will tell you about it in this video because we have used all the coolers. We have been using all the coolers for a year and a half. That's why I am able to make this comparison video and no one can show you such a video in the whole world. This is my guarantee. When you check the comment section of this video. You will find many people who will ask me, sir tell me a cooler that doesn't make a sound. So I ask them, tell me a guitar that doesn't make a sound. There can't be any cooler that doesn't make a sound. Please understand, that a cooler has a motor that runs the fan and a pump that puts water on the cooling pads. After running, these two will make a noise. You hear a sound between 70-80 decibels from a normal cooler. And a washing machine, you hear a sound between 60-70 decibels in that. So you will get a sound from the cooler. You don't have to run away from this. You can use any cooler. If someone says that there is no sound in the cooler, then this is a lie, this is wrong. Every cooler makes a sound, but there can be only a little less or a little more sound in the cooler. I will tell you that also in this video. Don't worry about it. After seeing so many coolers, some of you must be thinking do I have a cooler shop? But that's not the case, friends. This is my profession. For the first time in the world, we are doing such an experiment that no one has ever done and neither can anyone show you this type of video. The reason is that we have rented a house. We install all the appliances in that house after renovating it and we get it used continuously by our own team. We test all those appliances and compare them. We show you this comparison after a year of hard work. And after showing this comparison, when you buy the best product. When you buy the product that you like, no matter what it is, you get the best results from that product. And this is my effort only for you, not for any brand because we don't run sponsored content of any brand on this channel. And what do I get in return? I don't take money from you directly. I just ask for your support, that please support me by purchasing through my affiliate link. I have given you my affiliate links of Amazon and Flipkart in the description box and in the VM-One Air Cooler list. If you make your purchase from that, then without changing your price even 1 rupee, this channel will get some financial help. And by combining this little financial help, we pay the rent of the house for the whole year, we also pay our team salary, buy such products, and bring such comparison videos to you after a year, so that you can buy a good cooler. I hope you will purchase from my link. Download that VM-One Air Cooler list on your phone. The link is given in the description box. Now let's start the comparison and I'll tell you the best air cooler in India. In my list of 2024, there is no cooler on No. 5 because I have finished the No. 5 position. Because the two coolers that come in the position of No. 5 and No. 4 are so similar and so good that it was a bit difficult for me to tell which one is better. So I have done a tie on No. 4. The first air cooler is the Hindware's 85L cooler and the second one is the Orient's 85L cooler. Both are very good air coolers and both are available with 200W peak power. You will get a similar airflow in both of these, 3800 cubic meters per hour and 3500 cubic meters per hour and you will get to see honeycomb pads in both air coolers. In both, you will get to see 4-way air deflection and 3-speed air control with ice chamber. In both, you will get to see a water level indicator and drainage and overflow outlet. Both are inverter-compatible air coolers and both come with a very good performance. Now you will say that these are paper specs. How do we feel about the actual usage? In actual usage, both are exactly the same type of air coolers. Whether it is Hindware or Orient, we didn't face any problems with these two. 85 liter is enough capacity too, which after running, you don't need to refill water till morning. And that is really good. When doing proper ventilation, you will get very good and cool air on these. Noise levels are also approximately 75 decibels of both the air coolers. And build quality, which is very important for me, is the best of both the air coolers. Now, Hindware claims to have 40 feet and Orient claims 53 feet of air throw. Can I test it? No, I cannot test it. Will I sit 50 feet away and test if there is air coming or not? Is it of any use? Absolutely not. Because if I install a cooler inside my house, I won't be sitting 50 feet away from it. I don't even want to sit in front of the cooler. Actually, my purpose is that I want to cool the room with the cooler. I don't want air on my face, I want to cool the room. And when we tried to do this, both the coolers were successful. And I am very happy with both the coolers. Hindware and Orient both give you a 1-year comprehensive warranty on buying these coolers and the price of both is almost equal. They cost between ₹9,000 to ₹9,200 today. Their prices can change, so I have given their links in the description box and in the VM-One Air Cooler List. You have to download it. But which cooler do you want to buy? I will tell you that now. I have told you about the pros of these, according to their actual usability. I will not talk about the paper specs. I will not talk about the technologies that the brand claims a lot. I will tell you the actual cons of these two coolers. In Hindware, the sound is a little louder than in the Orient. A little. It can be around 5 decibels. We felt like this after using it. And Hindware claims completely shut louvers but the louvers don't get completely closed. Orient is a very good cooler. Everything is very good. But to close the louvers, you will have to use both hands. If you just want to close the louvers with their control, it won't be possible. And there is no lock in the castor wheels. When you fill the water, and then if you want to move the cooler from one side to the other, then it will happen, but if you want to stop it at one place, and suppose there is a little slope in your room, then you will face some trouble. We faced this problem in practical usage, that is why I told you. Otherwise, both the coolers are exactly the same in my opinion. And I have given both the links in the description box. Go check it out. Why are you waiting? Go! We have the position of No. 4. Now, which cooler will be at the No. 3 position in the best air cooler in India in 2024 on my list? The one that came last year. I am talking about Crompton Ozone and this is a very famous air cooler. And it is one of the best Air Coolers. No. 3 on my list this year as well because I didn't find any cooler better than this in the No. 3 position. In this cooler, you get a fan and 190W maximum peak power. This air cooler comes with 4200 cubic meters per hour airflow and obviously, you will get to see honeycomb pads which are very thick and of good quality. You will get 4-way air deflection, ice chamber, water level indicator, and castor wheels, which are with lock, which is very good. And also an auto-fill technology. Connect your cooler with a pipe and turn on the tap. Your cooler will always be full and when water overflows, the cooler will cut off the water. This is the Auto-Fill Technology. And this is very good for those places where it is very hot. And the water runs out at night. It runs out at midnight in the cooler. And this cooler will help you a lot there. In this cooler, you will get a water drainage outlet. You will also get knob control. This is an inverter-compatible air cooler. And its build quality is very good because it is made of ABS thermoplastic. We have been using this cooler since last year and overall, we found it to be a very great air cooler whose air throw we liked a lot. If there is proper ventilation in the room, it will cool the room completely in 40 minutes. Crompton gives one year's comprehensive warranty and it costs approximately ₹11,000 right now. Its prices fluctuate a lot, so I have given you its links in the description box. When it's too hot, it becomes too expensive and sometimes unavailable. Do check its links in the description box and in the VM-One Air Cooler list. I have already told you its pros and let me tell you its cons now. After that, you will decide for yourself whether you want to buy it or not. It is a very great cooler. I have told you everything. It will cool the room in around 40 minutes. Do keep ventilation. And the auto-fill technology is amazing. Especially for areas where it's very hot and water runs out in the cooler in the middle of the night. But there is a small con. The 4-way air deflection will work properly only when you lift the levers up or down with your hands. There is no control given for the louvers and not even today in Crompton. And I don't know how such a big design flaw has happened in this cooler. You should have given controls for the louvers. You have to hold the louvers with your hands and move them up and down. I mean, this is not right. But okay, the cooler is good. That's why I recommend it to you. And many people are happy to use it. Its links are given in the description box and also in the VM-One Air Cooler List. Go and check it out. Now let's come to the No. 2 position and again, the No. 2 position is tied. This tie was very important because these two coolers are so great that I got confused between two, which cooler to keep at No. 2 and which to remove. That's why I gave both coolers the No. 2 position. I am talking about the Optimus 100 from Crompton and the Dura Marine 90 from Bajaj. Bajaj's cooler is 90 liters and Crompton's is 100 liters. Both are amazing air coolers. I have been using them for the last 2-3 years. And they are amazing air coolers. Both have a 200-watt motor and a powerful fan. Honeycomb pads are available in both. And you will get 4-way air deflection in both. Both of them have their own technologies with fancy names. But we will not talk about them, because I want to show you the practical usage of these coolers and not their marketing. Because when my team used these coolers in our rented apartment in different rooms, how did they feel? And we were so happy to use both these coolers. These coolers were very good. We didn't have any problem with our usage and every feature is in both coolers whether it is a water level indicator or a water drainage outlet or good quality castor wheels that have a lock. You will get everything in both these coolers. This is very good. Both coolers are inverter compatible and both have a very good air-throw. But let's understand it from a practical use. The rooms in which we are testing these coolers are approximately 170 sq. ft. Both the rooms are 180 or 170 sq. ft., approximately of this size. So what do we mean by air throw? We can't even take that full speed of air on our faces. That's why we see cooling down of the room as an experience. And we test them in the day intentionally so that we could actually get the results in that heat. And we got a very good result from both of them. The build quality of both the coolers is also very good and both are very sturdy coolers. There is a very good feature in the Crompton of fully collapsible louvers and a mosquito net is also given in it which is very good. Whether you buy Bajaj Dura Marine or the Optimus from Crompton. You will get a 1-year comprehensive warranty from both the brands but there is a huge difference in their prices. Bajaj Dura Marine will cost you around ₹11,000 right now whereas Crompton Optimus will cost you ₹13,500 and that too is the price right now and these prices change a lot in the summer. That's why their links are given in the description box and in the VM-One Air Cooler List as well. Please use them to complete your purchase. This channel gets a little help. But I have already told you about the pros of these two. Let me tell you a little more. These two are very good air coolers. There are no second thoughts, if you take any of these two, you will not have any problem. You will not make any mistake. You can choose any of these two. That is why I have kept these two in the No. 2 position. Because both are very good coolers. Like in Crompton, there is a very great feature that you get fully collapsible louvers and mosquito nets. This is good because when you are not using the cooler when it is not running, then mosquitoes will not go inside it. Neither through louvers nor through pads because there is a mosquito net there. So that is a very important and very good feature. And the build quality of Bajaj is so good, imagine that it weighs 1.5 kgs more than Crompton. They pay a lot of attention to the build quality. That is why it is also a very good air cooler. And overall, Bajaj's pump, and Dura Marine technology, they are very good. Now, there are two small cons in these two. I will tell you about Bajaj's con like there are no fully collapsible louvers in this. This can be a problem in areas where there are more mosquitoes. And if we talk about the cons in Crompton, if you try to open the Crompton Optimus, you will probably get tired of it and will say, I will try to open it next month. That is something that is a problem. Because opening it is very difficult. We used to spend a lot of time just to open it and then we can check the Crompton Optimus. That is one problem. These are not big issues, but it was my duty to tell you. I have given their links in the description box. What are you waiting for? Go and check it out. If this price increases, then don't tell me that you didn't get the price I told you in the video. I have given you the links in the VM-One Air Cooler list. The best air cooler in India, the top position in my list of 2024, is the Sumo 75 XL from Symphony and I am so happy with this air cooler. I liked this air cooler the most because its build quality has improved even more thanks to Symphony. I bought this air cooler 3.5 years ago and I have been using it for a long time I have been using it since my last studio and I have checked it after that I have bought a new cooler again because Symphony has reintroduced it in a new color and this white color comes with a better build quality. In this air cooler, you get 190 watts of peak power from the motor which is very good. With power efficiency, it gives you a better air throw. That is what I like about this air cooler. On all three sides, you get to see honeycomb pads. These honeycomb pads are actually very thick. And this is the biggest plus point of this air cooler. On thick honeycomb pads, water will remain for a long time and it will keep giving you cool air. This time, Symphony has given a + Air Fan in this cooler which is very good and powerful. As I told you, its air throw is very good and that is what I like about this air cooler. Obviously, you will also get to see the auto swing in this and it comes with an ice chamber and water level indicator and you will also get an overflow outlet in this. Along with this air cooler, you also get a water pipe from which you can easily fill the water, which is very good. And the cool flow dispenser technology made by Symphony also works great. I told you about thick honeycomb pads but on those thick honeycomb pads when water is systematically poured and that water stays for a long time and gives you cool air. Symphony has named that technology and it actually works and it works brilliantly because we are getting cool air very well provided again I am saying that you have to do good ventilation in the room and we tested it in the biggest room size. In fact, we tested it in the living room and we got very good results. And the living room we are testing is an open area that is connected to even the dining hall and the kitchen, even then we got the best results. This is a big thing in itself. We generally use every air cooler in rooms from 170-200 sq. ft. But when we decided to use this air cooler for the No. 1 position, we tested it in an area of 300 sq. ft. by making it even harder. Living room plus the dining and the kitchen. And when it cooled down all three rooms, after giving good ventilation, then we got satisfied and that is why this is the best air cooler that you can buy. On the back side, you will get an overflow outlet and a power cord winder. The quality of the castor wheels is also very good, which is a very important aspect. And this cooler is also inverter-compatible, because the power of 190 watts is a little less than the rest, so it will take power a little more efficiently. Overall, I found the build quality of this cooler much better than before. It's better than the gray model we used before. And it takes approximately 30 minutes to cool the room. And this is the most important thing because if any air cooler is able to cool the room very quickly, its build quality is good, the features are great, what else do you need? Symphony on this air cooler gives you a 1-year comprehensive warranty and you can buy the Sumo 75 XL for approximately ₹13,500 at this time. The prices keep changing that's why I have given its links in the description box and also in the VM-One Air Cooler List. Do download it on your phone. Do check this Air Cooler. I have already told you about its pros but I will tell you one more thing that its air throw is very great. We will not think about the claim of the Symphony but we got the overall air throw from one to the other corner. So we were surprised also. And maybe this is the reason why this big area could be cooled in 30 minutes. And that is why we gave it the No. 1 position. I only felt one con in this air cooler that if it had fully collapsible louvers, it would have been better. they don't collapse completely, they collapse approximately 90% which means that the louvers close down to 90%, and that is okay. I am nitpicking because it is my duty to tell you. But overall I didn't find any special con in this cooler with which I can refuse you to buy this. In fact it is one of the best air coolers that you can buy in India in 2024. The price is ₹13,500 today. I have given the links to it, what are you waiting for? Go and check it out. As I told you, it took us about 1-1.5 years to make this video because we had to test all the air coolers we have been buying for the past 2-3 years and compare it with the new air coolers we bought. To tell you which one is the best among the air coolers in 2024 and which one will give you the most value for money. Doing this is not easy. Please support me, friends.
