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.

How do they compare with AC? My area of CO is about as dry as most of the SW, so it's a good comparison. Do you use them indoors?

Ours knock indoor temps down about 15-20 degrees on a 100 degree day. I don't remember their btu rating tho. One is a rooftop and have another in a window.
