Voltas JetMax 70T

Voltas makes industry-leading air conditioners and air coolers, their new JetMax 70T provides supreme cooling and is a blissful addition to my office this summer. I’ve been using the 70T (70Litre) for about 6 weeks (peak summer in my location with temperatures north of 38°c everyday) and find it provides cool air efficiently for a mid-sized to large room (up to 44 sq. m). A Honeycomb cooling pad provides chilled air across 3 cooling modes while the oscillation function spreads it across the room. Castor wheels in the base allow you to move it from room to room easily, plus there’s a water level indicator showing you how much is filled. The 70T even works on an Inverter when there’s no electricity! Voltas JetMax 70T is a formidable Air cooler that keeps you cool even on the hottest day. ₹10,499.
