As it turns out, Aldi-Nord in Germany is offering mini air coolers (you know, like in this article: https://heise.de/-11346708) from tomorrow. Retail price: 12.99 EUR. Essentially the same device is marketed with aggressive ads for prices between 59.99 and 69.99 EUR (prices vary randomly) by shady businesses.
This exact model is available on Alibaba for around 4.50 EUR (minimum order of 5,000) - so Aldi's still turning a profit, but not ripping customers off.
I might even get one.

@christopherkunz@chaos.social DON'T. they cool air by adding moisture. so your room turns into a tropical climate zone. you'll regret after first use, I promise.
