Summers have arrived but did you prepare yourself for the extreme heat? Did you buy a good DESERT COOLER? Do you know which Desert air cooler is the best? Only a shopkeeper can ask you to purchase a dessert cooler on the basis of its colour and size and then all you have to do is keep on refilling water. But is that right? Well, it is absolutely wrong. Read the article on the best Desert Air Coolers in India in 2021.

KEY POINTS ABOUT DESERT COOLERS-

A desert cooler mixes vapour in the air and lowers the temperature of the room. They work best under 45⁰ temp in a dry climate, and not in a humid climate. Proper ventilation is necessary for best results.

To prevent pungent smell, change the water every 2-3 days and clean pads every 2-3 weeks. If you do not do this, then the foul smell is unbeatable irrespective of the brand and cost of the cooler.

A desert cooler has noise levels between 70-75dB and an average washing machine has noise levels between 60-65dB. Therefore, a water cooler sounds more. Understand this simple formula- the more the RPM more will be the sound and airflow.

There are 2 types of pads- Wood wool cooling pads which are made from wood shavings and synthetic fibre. They have high maintenance, are slightly cheaper and have less durability.

Second, are the honeycomb cooling pads which are made of cellulose material. Their maintenance is very low, they are expensive and have long durability. Whether you take wood wool cooling pads or honeycomb pads, make sure its thickness is 90mm or 3.4 inches.
