Hey, anyone in CO use swamp coolers for house cooling? I hear mixed results, but do see them heavily offered at places like Lowes and Big R. Trying to see if they're worth it. I fully understand that AC is superior, but a whole house AC unit is financially out of my range right now, and the portable units we have fried an outlet last year from overuse.

They are thr second best to AC in dry heat, if you have humid heat, suicide is the only option.

Then give it a go. Get one that has freezer ice pack to cool the water.

Got a used portable unit. Fingers crossed.
