[Buying Guide] Best air cooler under 5000
Air throw: Look at the details supplied from the manufacturer to know the air throw. Usually the best air cooler under 5000 will be able to throw air upto 35 feet. But smaller models have very less air throw capability and can only be used for a single person and in a single room.
Air Delivery: Air delivery is the quantity of air that an air cooler can throw when running at full speed. Many manufacturer do not disclose this number but some do. And above 1000 m3 per hour is a good number for an air cooler. Check this when you are buying the best air cooler under 5000 INR.

Customer Service: In my experience if you are not from a metro city then customer service from air cooler brands are non existent. But air coolers are simple machines and can be repaired by local technicians.
