In stock
A 50 litre desert air cooler with honeycomb pads, drawing 190 W against roughly 1500 W for a comparable air conditioner.
Direct answer: is the Orient Electric Ultimo 50L Desert Air Cooler (CD5002H) right for you?
A desert air cooler works well in dry heat and poorly in humidity, so it suits inland northern and central India rather than coastal cities. At 190 W against roughly 1500 W for a 1.5 ton air conditioner, running cost is around an eighth.

Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Highly effective in the right climate and nearly useless in the wrong one. Match it to your region before comparing it against an air conditioner on price.

Households in dry-climate regions such as Delhi, Rajasthan and central India, where evaporative cooling is effective and running cost matters.

Product overview
Evaporative coolers work by passing air through water-soaked pads, so they cool effectively in dry heat and poorly in humidity. In Delhi or Jaipur in May they are genuinely effective; in coastal Chennai or Mumbai during monsoon they mostly add moisture. The economics are stark where they do work: 190 W against roughly 1500 W for a 1.5 ton air conditioner is close to an eightfold difference in running cost.
Key capabilities
- 50 litre water tank capacity
- 190 W power consumption
- Honeycomb cooling pads on three sides
- Castor wheels for room-to-room movement
