Suggest a good air cooler under Rs.15k

IMHO don't go for symphony. They break easily and are not easy to service. Plus they make a lot of noise
I went for crompton Optimus 65. It does not have a remote, but boy does it cool. It has mesh on 3 sides, plus the water comes to top chamber like old desert coolers.
Basically for air coolers, the bigger the mesh, more cooling. The Optimus also has auto filling and draining valves. Being a fan based cooler ( not blower) it's quite also. Please don't go for personal coolers, they don't cool anything

Thanks for the input. I was stuck between Crompton Ozone Royal and some Orient model, but have put a hold on the purchase due to Kerala floods :/
But will definitely keep all this advice when I'm ready to purchase.

Opt for models where you will be able to remove the side or back panels when necessary, otherwise it will be cumbersome/difficult to maintain.
