It wouldn't matter to me which was more efficient. A swamp cooler is a

Also a real AC unit can run in reverse and serve as a heat pump for winter.

In places where a swamp cooler works, a little more humidity isn't a bad
thing.

Why does anyone want humidity? If it's hot, humid air makes it feel
hotter, as your sweat can't evaporate so easily. In cold weather, the
damp cools you down more. So it's never wanted.


30-35% is OK vs 15%. you can also smell better, hence the name swamp. I had
swamp cooler both in Army and home, 7 years.

Smell better? You mean less BO? Or an increased ability to detect things with your nose?
