Okyuk SKYR-1A07 review
A 7 000 BTU single-hose portable air conditioner for rooms up to 25 m², built around an R290 refrigerant system Okyuk rates at energy class A. It includes an LED display with a water-level indicator, a 24-hour timer, and a window kit Okyuk describes as fitting widths from 43 to 135 cm, including a stated compatibility with 95% of German sliding windows.
The bottom line A 7 000 BTU unit that trades app and voice control for a published refrigerant type, an energy class A rating, and a wider 25 m² coverage claim than the entry-level Temprium — at a similar price, and confirmed for sale across all four European markets checked.
Cooling capacity and room coverage
Okyuk rates the SKYR-1A07 at 7 000 BTU for rooms up to 25 m², five square metres more than the entry-level Temprium unit in this comparison at a similar price point, though still well short of the 45 m² claimed by the 16 000 BTU Gymax unit here. Temperature is adjustable between 16 °C and 32 °C across two fan speeds, and Okyuk states an airflow of 330 m³/h. As with the other units in this comparison, no reference temperature or humidity is published for the coverage figure.
Refrigerant and energy class
Unlike the other three units checked for this comparison, Okyuk publishes a refrigerant type for the SKYR-1A07: R290, which it states complies with EU F-gas regulation. It also states an energy efficiency class of A. Neither Temprium, Dreo nor Gymax publish this level of detail for their models in this comparison, which makes the Okyuk unit easier to evaluate against EU refrigerant rules if that matters to the buyer.
Noise and condensate handling
Okyuk describes the unit only as “pleasantly quiet,” without a decibel figure — a gap shared with the Gymax unit in this comparison, and a step down from the specific dB(A) numbers published by Temprium (sleep mode only) and Dreo (full operating and sound-power figures). On condensate, there’s no self-evaporation or drainage-free claim published; the LED display includes a water-level indicator, suggesting the internal tank is checked and emptied manually during use.
Controls, modes and window fit
The SKYR-1A07 combines cooling, dehumidifying, ventilation and a sleep mode (Okyuk markets it as “4-in-1”), controlled through a remote and an on-unit LED display with a 24-hour timer and child lock. There’s no app or voice control published, unlike the Temprium and Dreo units in this comparison. The included window kit is specified for widths of 43 to 135 cm, and Okyuk states it’s compatible with 95% of German sliding windows — a specific, checkable claim rather than the general “fits most windows” wording used elsewhere.
Where it’s actually for sale
Keepa data confirmed a valid New-condition price on all four European marketplaces checked — Germany (≈359 €), France, Italy and Spain (≈349 € each) — at the time of checking. The ASIN wasn’t found as a listing on Amazon US at all, and on Amazon GB it was listed but with no active offer, so a UK or US buyer should not assume it’s currently purchasable there.

What we like, and what we don't
Strengths
Confirmed with a valid New-condition price on all four European markets checked (DE, FR, IT, ES), at a consistent ≈349–359 € price band
R290 refrigerant, stated EU F-gas compliant, and a published energy class A rating — one of the few units in this comparison with a stated refrigerant type
Wider room coverage (25 m²) than the entry-level Temprium unit in this comparison, at a similar price
Window kit published with an exact width range (43–135 cm), not just a general 'fits most windows' claim
Compromises
No app or voice control; the unit is operated only by remote and the on-unit LED display
No standard operating dB(A) noise figure is published — Okyuk describes the unit only as quiet, without a number
No dedicated drainage-free claim; the display's water-level indicator implies the tank still needs periodic manual emptying
Not found as a listing at all on Amazon US, and listed but with no active offer on Amazon GB, at the time of checking

Questions people actually ask
Does the Okyuk SKYR-1A07 need manual draining?
Okyuk does not publish a drainage-free claim for this model, unlike the Dreo unit in this comparison. The on-unit LED display includes a water-level indicator, which implies the internal tank is checked and emptied by hand rather than evaporating condensate automatically.
Is it available outside Germany?
Keepa data showed a valid New-condition price on all four European marketplaces checked — Germany, France, Italy and Spain — in a consistent band of roughly 349 to 359 €, at the time of checking. It was not found as a listing on Amazon US, and had no active offer on Amazon GB.
What refrigerant does it use?
Okyuk publishes R290, stating it complies with EU F-gas regulation. This is one of the few units in this comparison with a stated refrigerant type — the Temprium, Dreo and Gymax units here don't publish one.
Our score
7.8/ 10
A 7 000 BTU unit that trades app and voice control for a published refrigerant type, an energy class A rating, and a wider 25 m² coverage claim than the entry-level Temprium — at a similar price, and confirmed for sale across all four European markets checked.
Who this one is for
Buyers who want a wider 25 m² coverage claim and a published refrigerant/energy class, but don't need app or voice control.

Okyuk SKYR-1A07

7 000 BTU
16–32 °C, 2 fan speeds
Remote control, on-unit LED display (no app or voice control published)
A 7 500 BTU single-hose portable air conditioner Dreo positions for bedrooms and offices, built around what it calls a true drainage-free system: condensate is evaporated automatically via an internal pump and sensors, Dreo says, even up to 90% humidity. Operating noise is published at 45 dB(A) (61 dB sound power), with control through the Dreo app or Siri/Alexa/Google Home voice commands.
Best for: Bedrooms or offices where quiet operation and hands-off condensate handling matter more than a low upfront price.
A 16 000 BTU 4-in-1 portable air conditioner that adds a heating mode alongside cooling, dehumidifying and fan, for rooms Gymax rates up to 45 m². It's controlled by remote, on-unit panel, or WiFi through the 'Smart Life' app, and is the largest and most expensive of the four units in this comparison.
Best for: Larger rooms up to 45 m² where one appliance needs to both cool in summer and add supplementary heat, bought from a market where it's confirmed in stock.
A 7 000 BTU / 2.0 kW single-hose portable air conditioner for rooms up to 20 m², with touch-panel, remote, app and Alexa/Google Assistant control. Temprium states a built-in self-evaporation system that significantly cuts how often the tank needs draining, and ships a window seal kit it describes as fitting most European window types.
Best for: Renters or small bedrooms up to about 20 m² who want app and voice control without paying for a higher-BTU unit.
