Bajaj PX 97 Torque New 36L Personal Air Cooler For Room|Honeycomb Cooling Pads|High-Speed |30Ft Powerful Air Throw|3-Speed Control|Portable Cooler-Home|3 Year Comprehensive Product Warranty|White

Got the product for a good deal. Some of the Pro's and Con's mentioned below - PROs - 1) Sturdy build quality and looks trendy 2) The cooling for a 15x10 room is sufficient. Good air throw and with three sides honeycomb inflow, the air is cooler even at ambient temperatures of upto 39* C 3) Multiple speed options to control from. 4) Dedicated knob to control swing and water pump activation. 5) Swing function very nicely designed where-in the air flow is continuously thrown in the direction its facing plus the swing module which throws burst of air as and when it passes along. Its not the typical swing of other aircoolers or pedastal fan where-in there is a gap of "no-air flow" when its swinging. CONs - 1) The sound of air cooler, to be frank its manageable and I'm nit-picking here as there is no air-cooler in market which is sound less. 2) No remote control option available, I have 10+year old Kenstar cooler at home which has a remote control. 3) No timer option to set to run the air-cooler for specific number of hours and auto turn off. 4) When using with water circulation enabled, the sound of air-cooler increases as the water that is made to come via the honeycomb pads are dripped off from bottom directly into the water reservoir. When I compare it with my old Kenstar cooler, it had a separate tube that would silently drain water from the honeycomb pads back to reservoir which drastically reduced noise. But again Bajaj having a motor with fan option compared to my Kenstar with blower option generates less noise overall so I'm satisfied. Considering the above and if you have a dealbreaker for any of the Cons, I will recommend the product.

Long term review [2years] Knob is horrible , it will get stuck in between modes and mine burnt and was giving off a weird wire burning smell. Solution - set the regulator and forget about it . Do Not mess around . Air throw - super nice . Water capacity - nice Durable - nice The little clips to open the side panels was extremely hard to open and will rust and not open at all unless you smooth those out in advance . Wheels on the cooler - not nice . Will wear out and will be difficult to drag around especially if even one wears out. Overall - satisfied !

Writing this review after using it for the 4th summer now. This cooler has a few good stuff and quite a lot of bad and annoying stuff going for it. I’ve only used it for 2-3 months only during summers and rest of the year I keep it tightly packed in the box. Heres my full long review - The Okays: - The fan is powerful so it does cool really well - Water makes it a LOT cooler so water is a must - The water pump died after 3 summers which according to the electrician that replaced it is common for such motors. I got it replaced it with a similar pump that costed ₹350 + ₹200 for servicing. Annoying but acceptable. - The cooler is LOUD. I’ve become used to after using it for so long, it becomes white noise after a while but my mom who was visiting found it too loud and could not sleep with it being on. Thats pretty much it for pros unfortunately. It does the basics okay. Cons: - Its incredibly hard to clean, I’m not exaggerating, I live in BLR and it gets dusty inside fairly quick but its near impossible to clean it. Even if you fully disassemble it every damn corner is sharp and you’ll get cuts trying to clean. Things getting dusty is expected in an Indian household but apparently the buffoons that designed this did not think about it. - Water at my new place tends to form salt deposits fairly quick and thats another huge headache coz algae tends to form easily on these deposits and its basically impossible to clean them with the stupid design. I’ve tried decalcifiers and white vinegar already since its so hard to reach the spots to scrub it. I literally had to cut out a piece of plastic so that I could reach places better, absolutely stupid design again. - It has 0 handles or anything ergonomic whatsoever to grip it or move it around. After you fill it with 20-25L of water you basically have to tug around a 30-35kg plastic box incredibly awkwardly. Both old house and current ones have elevated washrooms which meant I had to list this piece of crp up and down every single day to fill water. I even broke a couple of ribs of the side panel while trying to lift it. Again dumb horrible design. - Coming to filling the water, check the image I’ve attached to see how stupidly small the water inlet is, in my old house I had to literally hold the this stupid box of plastic at an angle under the tap till it filled coz theres no other easy way to fill it. It’s so small that you can’t even just pour it from a jug leave alone a bucket. You can’t even put ice cubes in it for cooler air thats how damn small it is. To make my life easier I bought a small pipe from a local hardware store and 3D printed a funnel to directly fill water from the tap. I as a consumer should not be going this far for such a basic thing. - The cable too is comically short for a cooler and I had to get an extension cord - The 3-2-1 speed/power modes barely are any different as in 3 and 1 are basically the same so it sometimes feels extremely harsh and you can’t reduce it if you want

Cooling is Very good . Fan performance is well . No Leakage. Condition is well . Mobility is good . No remote control. Overall good .

Inside mechanism not fitted properly. But cool wise is ok

This cooler is ideal for one or two people and works very well in small rooms. The airflow is strong and provides effective cooling. It is lightweight and easy to move, even when the water tank is full. The build quality is good, and there are no issues with water leakage. The tank capacity is sufficient to last the entire night without needing a refill. Although it does not come with a remote, the manual controls are simple and easy to use. In terms of noise, the fan sound is similar to two table fans, which is acceptable. The water flow produces a gentle stream-like sound, similar to sleeping near a small river. One thing to consider is the height of the cooler. If you are sleeping on a bed, a slightly taller cooler would provide better airflow at that level. However, it still delivers decent cooling. Overall, this cooler offers great performance in this price range. The 3-year warranty is an added advantage.

Pros: ~~~~ 1. If ventilation is good, it provides good cooling 🧊 even with normal water 🪣. 2. In my area, humidity is less than 35% during summer, so it is suitable. 3. Airflow is good 🍃. 4. I agree the fan noise is noticeable for better cooling, but it is acceptable. The water drop sound feels like a natural waterfall 😄 5. Suitable for small to medium size room 🏡. I do not recommend this for a closed room🚪 . I think this applies to most air coolers. Cons: ~~~~ 1. The "side panel is very hard to open"🔐 , and the screws are made of plastic. One broke when I tried to open it by hand—it’s too hard. "Needs improvement: should have smoother steel screws" or an easier unlocking mechanism. This is a major issue. It cannot be opened easily by hand and can hurt. I had to use a tool to open it🔧. 2. "Water drop directly from Honeycomb to water base"💧 . So water noise could be improved" (reduced). If water full no noice when drop. When water level decrease the drop sound increases. 3. "No ice chamber" to place ice. We have to open the side panel again to add ice cubes—which is difficult. 4. Water inlet is small. You need to be patient when fill water 😁.

Pros: The cooler is very compact and takes very little space. The weight is very little and comes with castor wheels that make it really portable. Cons: Cooling area is very limited. About 10 x 12 ft room size. Cooling effect is terrible especially if you live in zone where temperature rises above 34C. It will just make your room hot, extremely humid and suffocated. If you're placing the cooler on the floor you need to have a fan running at low speed otherwise you'll have a cloud of hot moisture hanging in the room which will cause suffocation. The water inlet cubby is really small as the other customers have mentioned. You will need a pipe to pour water into the cooler without spillage. Problems experienced: The pump stopped working after only 3 days of usage. When I opened the unit I found that the pump is made out of very cheap quality plastic. Just trying to handle it caused parts to chip off in several places like breadcrumbs. It's ridiculously brittle plastic. The entire cooler is made of this cheap and brittle plastic including the inner parts. That's why the pump's rubber came off and it stopped working. There was also a bad plastic smell initially in the first 2 days because of this cheap quality plastic parts problem. We finally managed to fix the issue because we had an aquarium pump at hand. However I'm not sure if the other parts will eventually break off. Overall I would suggest any prospective buyers to go for a better quality product.
