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?

Up here a swamp cooler would use a LOT more power and would still
not cool effectively. Our summer humidity is too high for a "swamp
cooler" to work. They are really only "desert coolers"
Seems water should be at a premium in the desert.
I'd think your water bill may take a hit.
