Crompton Optimus 65L Desert Air Cooler Review
The Crompton Optimus 65L is the only desert cooler under Rs 10,000 with an auto-fill feature that connects directly to your home water supply, eliminating the hassle of manually refilling a 65-litre tank. The Everlast pump is specifically engineered for high-TDS Indian water conditions common in North India, addressing the number one reliability concern with desert coolers. The auto-drain function flushes stale water to prevent bacterial buildup, solving the bad-odour problem that affects coolers left idle for even a few days.
Our Verdict
The Crompton Optimus 65L justifies its Rs 9,000-10,000 price with the auto-fill feature, Everlast hard-water pump, and auto-drain bacterial prevention that no other cooler under Rs 10,000 offers. The 5,500 CMH airflow covers rooms up to 650 sq ft effectively. The trade-off is sitting right at the budget ceiling and requiring a nearby water supply connection for the auto-fill feature to work.
Best For
Homeowners with a water supply point near the cooler location who want truly hands-free operation without manual refilling in large rooms of 400-650 sq ft.
Consider Alternatives If
Renters or those without a water supply connection near the cooler placement area, or buyers who find Rs 9,000-10,000 too close to the price ceiling.
