Nice product

We have a very big bedroom and are located on top floor of the building, so it can get very hot on summer nights. This has very good throw and cools the room easily in under 2 hours, post which we switch it off and go back to fan. However, if you were to use it entire night (say 8 hrs), the water will not even last for 2 nights. Also if you have a slightly high bed, because of the low placing of the overall drum, the air flow will be obstructed by the bed. You may then need to buy a pedestal which can be quite expensive (another 1K). I have somehow managed to arrange the vents after much trial and error to have the throw in a certain way. We are used to noisy fans so the sound does not bother us (my 2 year old sleeps beautifully with this on). Nevertheless, would recommend, since we tried a lot of desert coolers in the showroom and none of them could match this one’s throw.

The cooler is not value for money at 11790/- (the price I bought it for)
The build quality is cheap. You can clearly see the letters missing from the brand name stating the quality and the cheap glue used to hold it. The front louvers are as if drilled into the fan.
Gimmicky I-pure technology does absolutely nothing.
Honeycomb is wide but the quality is questionable.
Pump is small in size, durability is doubtful.
The knob to adjust fan speed is loose.
Not much difference between fan speed settings.
If outside temp is above 40° and you expect it to cool the room instantly, you’ll be disappointed, sitting in front of it will not make you sweat though.
Symphony symbol came off pretty quickly, the day it came and unwrapped.
The cooler is pretty noisy if you favour sound sleep, don’t buy.

Pros :
If the cooler is in proper cross ventilation, it’s enough to cool a 170 sqft room.
In cool breezy weather, this cooler does a pretty good job even on low fan speed.
75L will easily last whole night if that’s your concern.
No auto fill system though.
Wide Swing and air throw is great, one of the best features.
The wheel support system is sturdy but design flaw as some reviewers have claimed they broke their wheels.

Final verdict :
Go for it if you have a cross ventilation system.
Do not expect AC like cooling if above temp is above 40°
At night, it does a pretty good job as temp are lower and wind is breezy and not so hot.
The air throw and wide swing is something to consider if you do not live alone and need this for a big hall or bedroom.
The fans are plastic made and are of 5 blades.
It’d be better if they put a mesh or a net over the honeycomb filters like the Crompton Optimus.
Overall cooling is just a little better to a 7k cooler or a local build cooler on rent.
3.5/5
