The product is not bad but the service is lousy

I purchased a Havells Celia-i cooler in April 2019. The cooler is not bad considering that it's a room cooler and can not compete with a window cooler. The functions given are related to speeds, power, cooling etc. There are enough inlets for filling in water and outlets for draining out water o...Read more

I didn’t know anything about Hugo except that it had won 5 Oscars and it was a good thing I didn’t know anything.
