Used Air Cooler for Sale: What to Check Before Buying

Ask to see it running, check the fan, controls, pump and water tank, and look for leaks, damaged wiring, mould or unusual noise. Record the exact model so you can check its manual and parts.

Compare its stated airflow and intended use with the room, and check the physical dimensions. Do not use tank capacity alone as a measure of room coverage.

Availability varies by model. Find the model number and ask the manufacturer or an authorised parts supplier about compatible pads and filters before buying.

Read the rating label for voltage and power requirements, inspect the plug and cord, and check for damage. Do not use a unit with exposed wiring or a damaged electrical connection.
