Iron Body Vs Plastic Body Cooler: As the heat reaches its peak, maintaining coolness in the house becomes a big challenge.

Iron coolers have been in use for a long time and are known for their strength. Their body structure is strong due to which they last for a long time. Additionally, they usually have larger fans and larger water capacity which helps in providing better cooling. However, their weight is high which makes it not easy to carry them around. Additionally, they may develop rust issues over time, especially if not taken care of properly.

Plastic coolers are becoming more popular these days. They are light in weight so that they can be easily transported from one place to another. Their design is also more attractive and modern which matches better with the interior of the house. The most important thing is that there is no risk of rusting in them. But sometimes the plastic body is not very strong and there is a risk of breakage in the long run.
Who is better in cooling?
If we talk only about cold air, then the effect on cooling depends more on its fan, motor and cooling pad than on the material of the cooler. A cooler with good quality honeycomb pads and a powerful motor, whether iron or plastic, will provide better cooling. However, metal coolers with larger size and higher capacity generally prove to be more effective in larger rooms.
Power consumption and maintenance
Both types of coolers consume different power. Iron coolers generally consume more electricity than plastic coolers. The reason for this is its large size. Actually, iron coolers are usually of large size or they are old fashioned in which a motor with high wattage is installed and consumes a lot of electricity.
On the other hand, plastic coolers have a lighter motor which consumes less electricity. But in terms of maintenance, plastic coolers are a little ahead because they do not have problems like rust or paint damage. At the same time, metal coolers may have to be cleaned and painted from time to time.
Which one to buy will be the right decision?
If you are looking for a cooler for a large room or open area and do not mind a heavy machine, then an iron cooler can be a good option. But if you want a light, portable and low maintenance cooler, then a plastic cooler will be better. Both iron and plastic coolers have their own advantages and disadvantages. The right choice depends on your need, budget and usage.
