Every morning, I check the haze index. It only goes up.
Then it rains, and I think: finally! But two or three hours later, the haze is back. So the doors stay shut. The windows stay shut. And the room gets hot, stuffy and uncomfortable. Turning on the aircond all day sounds tempting, but the electricity bill at the end of the month? Not so much.
It’s okay. We have an air cooler.
A cooler way to stay comfortable
An air cooler uses water and a wet cooling pad to cool the passing air through evaporation, giving you a refreshing breeze without the higher power demand of a typical aircond.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | Air cooler | Typical 1HP aircond |
|---|---|---|
| Power consumption | 105W–220W* | Approx. 750W–1,000W* |
| Cooling method | Water evaporation | Refrigeration |
| Water tank | 12L, 30L or 35L | Not applicable |
| Portability | Portable design | Usually fixed installation |
| Best for | Personal cooling and airflow | Cooling an enclosed room |
*Power figures are approximate. Actual consumption varies by model and operating conditions.
How I use my air cooler on a hazy day
First, fill the water tank and add the two included ice packs for an extra-refreshing breeze. Let the cooler swing automatically from left to right, then adjust the airflow up or down to suit your space. With three speed settings and a remote control, you can change the airflow without leaving the sofa.
For night-time comfort, the 12L and 30L models have a 24-hour timer, and the 12L model also comes with a Sleep mode for a gentler breeze.
Which air cooler fits your needs?
Whether you’re looking for a compact option or a larger water tank, there are three capacities to choose from:
- 12L: a practical option for personal cooling and smaller spaces.
- 30L: a larger tank for longer use between refills.
- 35L: more water capacity for your daily cooling needs.
Choose according to your space, preferred features and usage habits.
Stay comfortable this haze season
Haze season can make staying indoors uncomfortable, but keeping cool doesn’t have to mean running the aircond all day. An air cooler offers another way to enjoy a refreshing breeze while using relatively little power.

Note: An air cooler helps improve cooling comfort but does not filter haze particles. Follow local air-quality advice and use appropriate air filtration when necessary.
