COOLECH DRTF-1030R 4.2L Evaporative Air Cooler

The COOLECH DRTF-1030R evaporative air cooler combines a 4.2-litre tank with three fan speeds, four modes, oscillation and remote or touch controls. It is a fan-based evaporative cooler rather than a conventional compressor air conditioner, so its cooling effect depends on room conditions and is not a like-for-like substitute for refrigerated air conditioning.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives inconsistent airflow and coverage claims: maximum speed is stated as both 6.8M/S and 7m/s, and coverage as both 28㎡ and 23m². It also describes the unit as 107CM in the title and specs but 105cm in a feature, and claims up to 24 hours of cooling without a clear operating condition. Treat these performance figures as unconfirmed. Evaporative cooling depends on humidity and room conditions, and the listed capacity does not establish a guaranteed run time.
