How benchmarksutra rates air coolers: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Air Cooler Score rates 5 air coolers sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 15 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 15 November 2026). We did not test these air coolers ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Air Cooler Score works.
What we rate
Tank size. Water tank the maker states, in litres: 30 L rates 0, 100 L or more 100. A bigger tank runs longer between refills.
Power draw. Rated power the maker states: 250 W rates 0, 100 W or less 100. Lower draw means a smaller electricity bill.
Warranty. Warranty years the maker states: 3 years or more rates 100, 1 year about 33.
Price per litre. Lowest price we found divided by tank litres, against the cheapest per litre in the list.
Buyer profiles
What we checked
We read each maker's own product page for tank size, rated power and warranty. Retail listings are used only for the price. Where a maker page does not state one of the rated items, that row scores zero; we never guess. Room size is shown where the maker states it, but not scored, because makers rate it under their own test conditions and some do not state it.
What we do not rate
How much a cooler actually cools depends on your room, humidity and ventilation, and needs tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results. Air coolers work best in hot, dry weather.
Price vs score
