Yes, evaporative coolers do work, but nothing like as well as ac. They
are very cheap to make, very cheap to run, can knock 4-6C off a room,
but next to nothing in damp weather, need a bit of ventilation to avoid
causing damp, and can be made yourself from a fan + a wet towel. No
point paying for one.
