Room coolers can never replace an AC whatever claims company makes. If you are looking for a cooler you can buy a desert cooler which is placed outside the room in a window, that will cool out the room much better than a room cooler.

By the way what is the price quoted for the one you shared ?

Yeah, but I don't understand! It consumes something like 450 Watt. An inverter AC consumes something like 700, maybe even less!

You said you already have an AC installed.. How much electricity it is consuming per day that you are ready to spend 15K for a cooler?

a BIG NO to air coolers !! i got a symphony air cooler few years back ( it was small & movable inside the house )...but, it rather made it a bit worse.. It Created a highly humid environment in the room where the cooler is placed.. Unless you're sitting in front of the cooler, you'll be feeling uncomfortable. Better avoid the room coolers.

7500 is whooping !!! how many hrs it is used in a day ??
If room size is small go for an .75 ton AC, if it fits ur budget
