Evaporative Humidifier vs swamp cooler for adding moisture

I've gone though so many humidifiers (Aircare) to be specific I just want an analog evaporative humidifier that wont die after a few months of use. Analog so I can hook it up to an inkbird controller. I just became aware of swamp coolers. It seems basically the same as an evap humidifier, has a filter that gets wet and has a fan that pushes air through it. Would this work to raise humidity in my 4x4? Thanks dudes.

I have this and have ran it for years. The only thing I changed is I took it apart and wired around the display/controller. This allows it to cycle on and off from an external controller.

A swamp cooler is just a colloquialism for an evaporative humidifier and would indeed raise the humidity.

Vornado evap40. Works great and can be hooked up to an INKBIRD controller or smart plug also.
