Hope you are all doing good!!! We have a desert cooler, which we are using from last 25 years. Still it is in good condition and it needs maintenance very less. I will introduce you with desert cooler - It is an evaporative cooler (also swamp cooler, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. Evaporative cooling differs from typical air conditioning systems, which use vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles. Exactly opposite to the cooler at my uncle's home. They have changed cooler three or may be many times as they brought new every time. That's why said ' Old is Gold ' Are you still using any old devices, which are still in good condition?

We have one ceiling fan, almost 20 years old. It is very heavy but gives super air.. I cannot find any new fan, working like that.

@PBKING not much.. sometimes it may produce some sound but with minor repairs it is good.

Yes it's very hard to find such fans now. Is that fan makes high sounds as this is 20 years old?

We have an old tv which has been here for almost 20 years. We don't use it but keep it as a souvenir from my late grandfather. He gifted us this tv

That's nice collection We should keep such old things as a collection as we will not see such old things after 5 more years.

I haven't got the foggiest idea what a 'desert cooler' is. Why don't you explain it for all the readers who don't live in your country? What does the bicycle have to do with it?

I think it has been used worldwide. It's simply a cooling system to reduce the temperature of room. I have updated the details above and also updated the picture, hope this will help you to know what desert cooler is.

@PBKING That's better. Never think that things *you* know are known worldwide!
