Has anyone ever compared power usage between a swamp cooler and a small

more? It would be a lot more convenient than a cooler. There seem to be a
lot of water pump, fan belt, pad water distribution and other problems with
a cooler despite decades of using one.

Thoughts?

TIA


Power consumption is the second question to ask.
First question is whether you live in a climate
that's dry enough to use a swamp cooler.
Google "dew point" and think about inside humidity.
