Personal air coolers, also known as portable air conditioners, are compact, lightweight devices that cool down the surrounding air. They are designed for individual use, suitable for cooling small rooms or personal spaces such as desks, bedsides, or couches.
While personal air coolers are less potent than traditional air conditioners and may not be suitable for larger spaces, they are more energy-efficient. They can be an excellent option for people looking to cool down a specific area without cooling an entire room. Additionally, some models offer additional features such as air purifiers, humidifiers, and adjustable fan speeds. But are these worth it? Let’s find out which are the best air coolers under 10000!
Air Cooler Buying Guide – Personal Air Cooler Under 10000
| 1. Types of cooling pads The two types of cooling pads in mini air coolers are: – Wood wool and – Honeycomb cooling pads. Both are good. Refrain from replacing the cooling pads via the company. Instead, buy them at half rate from the market. 2. Maintenance of the best air coolers under 10000 – Change water every 3-4 days. – Clean pads every 2-3 weeks to eradicate unpleasant smells. 3. Noise Levels All coolers produce noise. They have noise levels between 65-89dB. The pump and motor make noise, so there is nothing like a silent cooler. Stay away from such gimmicks. People living in coastal areas should avoid them using pumps. Because there is high humidity in coastal areas, we recommend not using the pump. A mere fan is enough. The use of a pump will only create more humidity. |
