Last summer, when I planned to purchase an appliance to cool my space, Air conditioners (AC) and coolers were two common choices I came across. Although they aim to reduce heat, they work on different principles and are appropriate for various settings. Air coolers use water evaporation to chill air, whereas air conditioners use mechanical systems and refrigerants. I have shared the difference between them below.

Cooler or Air Conditioner: Which is Better?

It depends on your requirement and preference. I suffer from allergic reactions, and dust is my enemy. When I researched the differences between them, I came to know, ACs offer more cool air than coolers. However, when the filter is full, tiny particles are not filtered out. 

  1. By washing away dust and storing it in the water, the air cooler prevents this issue from occurring. 

  2. I also find that daily water replenishment and occasional water tank cleaning are more beneficial than air conditioning, even if air coolers are less expensive and cannot cool as much as air conditioners to a shivering degree. 

To know cooler or AC which is better for your space, I would suggest you check more differences from the table shared by Aaryan here.

As an asthma patient, I finally purchased a cooler for my room and AC for my parents’ room. I hope you found this helpful.

While purchasing an AC, you may get confused between cooler vs AC. Since both help in cooling down the room you may choose a cooler instead of an AC since a cooler is way cheaper than AC. But you should decide wisely since buying a cooler can be a waste of money. If you live in a humid region, and you want to get rid of the excess heat during the summer time you should buy AC. Why? Because the cooler increases humidity and in a humid place such as Kolkata or Mumbai you can get very uncomfortable turning on a cooler as you will sweat more during the summer when the cooler is on. AC on the other hand helps the room temperature to cool down at the same time it has the capacity to dry up the surrounding.

AC on the other hand can impact our health system. So, in this case, you can purchase a cooler and turn it on for a few hours to cool down the room and fight the intensive heat.
