I just spent a week at the home of my in-laws. they have a swamp cooler.

Swamp coolers suck and are terrible options if you do not plan on being within about 15 feet of the actual machine.

Heaven help you if you are heading to the other side of the house or even down in the basement.

I basically had to sleep on the floor really close to the hallway most nights. It was the only way I could cool down.
