As I live in Chennai where the heat in summer will be extremely high and with this air cooler, I was able to tolerate heat to some extent. It will be not like air conditioner which chills the entire room. It comes with large store tank and also it has got provision to add ice cubes . It also comes with remote, where you can control the fan speed, can set timer and can switch cooler on/off. It is easy to move and durable as well. One drawback what I felt is the noise level at higher fan speed. Some times it annoys us.
