My daughters house in Salt Lake City had one. It was the first one I had ever looked at, having never lived anywhere where one would work.
It drew air in from the outside, past what can best be described as a wet cardboard element, and blew it into one diffuser in the main hallway.
It worked, and made things more comfortable (if a bit noisy).
About 6 months later when she replaced the furnace, she went to a conventional AC unit.

> It’s not really a swamp cooler. A swamp cooler releases heat to the outside and cool humid air inside. This gadget puts cool air out the front and warm air out the back. When the air in the room mixes it is the temperature you started with plus perhaps a bit warmer due to the heat added by the motor.
