I think it's more than just a fan.

A newspaper ad about it I read last week makes it sound like you have to
freeze some liquid filled plastic containers like the kind you'd place
in with stuff in a cooler box. And then stick them inside the thing.

They nicely avoid mentioning the energy used to freeze those things in
your kitchen fridge, or the space they probably take up in the freezer
compartment while you're doing that.

Nothing new, just dubious marketing for an evaporative cooler "swamp
cooler" which actually works in low humidity high-heat conditions. It is
notably useless in a higher humidity situation.
