What is a roto cooler?
Rotomolding: Many coolers are constructed from a rotomolded shell which forms both the inner and outer skins of the box, with the interior space generally filled with polyurethane foam as insulation. Separate lids are made in the same way. Unlike injection molded coolers, which can be prone to cracks, damage, and shorter ice retention, the rotomolding process ensures consistency and durability.

Always check on the cooling area of the model you pick so that the cooling range coincides with the size of your room.Desert coolers typically consume more electricity compared to personal or tower coolers due to their larger size and higher cooling capacity. Tower coolers, on the other hand, are designed for smaller spaces and use less power. Another factor that affects consumption is the cooling medium used.For small rooms, a cooler with an 11-30 litre capacity is suggested; for rooms between 150 and 300 sq ft, a cooler with a 41 to 60 litre capacity is recommended, while for larger rooms, more than the 60 litre water capacity is needed.However, on an average, an air cooler typically consumes anywhere between 100 watts to 200 watts of electricity per hour of continuous use. Generally, the electricity consumption of an air cooler is much lower than that of an air conditioner, which can consume anywhere from 1000 watts to 3000 watts per hour.
