Performance
The Bajaj Platini PX97 air cooler comes with 100 Watt fan that is made up of high-quality plastic material which creates less noise and is also lighter in weight.
Bajaj claims that the air cooler has 30 feet air throw, this is a very tall claim for the cooler of this size and actual usage sees a reduced number of around 15-20 feet. For a small to medium size room, the air throw is powerful. It has a CFM of 2000-1500 cubic meters/hr of airflow, which is quite good for this range.
The performance of the air cooler over time depends on your usage. There are some ways in which you can keep your cooler in good condition.
Cooling pads
This air cooler uses honeycomb pads which are known to provide greater cooling with the lowest maintenance. The cooling pads are provided on three sides of the cooler which will provide greater cooling.
Capacity
Bajaj Platini has whopping 36 liters of capacity. The capacity of the cooler helps you to run the cooler for longer hours without adding water again and again. It has an indicator to help you know the present water level. The water inlet is a let down as it is very small and needs a hose or pipe to fill water.

The Air-condition system is room-specific and only cools a single room.
Design and Build Quality
This room cooler is made up of thermoplastic material that feels average quality and you have to be careful when you move the cooler around not to hit against the wall or any other object. Some users found that the joints that are made up of plastic material leave gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bajaj Platini PX97.
1. How to use Bajaj Platini Air Cooler?
This air cooler like any normal cooler is easy to use. Fill water using a pipe in the inlet, up to the maximum capacity. Switch on the air cooler and start the fan using the dial provided. There is another dial control to switch the pump on to give you the cooling effect and simultaneously start the rotation of direction blades.
For optimum usage, keep the cooler near the window and allow the air to exit from the opposite side of the window to give you cross ventilation. Most of the coolers function well in cross ventilation.
2. How to clean Bajaj Platini Torque cooler?
The air cooler is known for its low maintenance aspects. But all the coolers require some maintenance for optimum functioning, remove water from the cooler when not in use, or change the water every 3-4 days to prevent the foul smell. There is a water draining hole provided which lets you drain all the water. Also, clean the honeycomb pads once in a month to remove dust and other particles.
Use a normal wet cloth to clean the water storage tank and use water and cloth to clean the pads. Pads are easily removable using the plastic lock behind.
3. Which climate will it suit the best?
The company claims it can be used in coastal regions although we do not suggest using it in high humid regions. It can be used in low to medium humid regions and requires you to add ice water into the cooler.
4. Is this suitable for the hall?
If your hall is anywhere below 130-140 Square feet then consider buying it. Or else go for dessert coolers.
