Temprium YPK11S-07C/3-W review
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.
The bottom line A budget 7 000 BTU unit that covers the basics — app and voice control, a self-evaporation system, and a European window kit — for a room up to about 20 m². The tradeoffs against the other three units in this comparison are a smaller coverage area and fewer published performance figures: no standard-mode dB(A) rating, no refrigerant type, no energy class.
Cooling capacity and room coverage
Temprium rates the YPK11S-07C/3-W at 7 000 BTU (2.0 kW), for rooms up to 20 m² — the smallest coverage figure among the four portable air conditioners checked for this comparison, where the others range from 25 m² up to 45 m². The temperature can be set between 16 °C and 30 °C, with two selectable fan speeds, high and low. As with every BTU rating in this category, Temprium doesn’t publish the reference conditions the figure was measured under, so treat 20 m² as an upper bound reached in favourable conditions rather than a guarantee in a hot, sun-facing room.
Noise and condensate handling
The only noise figure Temprium publishes is 53 dB(A), and it’s specific to sleep mode: fan speed is automatically reduced and the set temperature is allowed to drift upward by 2 °C over four hours, to avoid over-cooling a bedroom overnight. No standard or full-power operating noise rating is published, which makes it hard to compare directly against the Dreo unit in this comparison, which does publish both a normal-operation and a sound-power figure.
On condensate, Temprium describes a built-in self-evaporation system that it says “significantly reduces” how often the tank needs to be emptied by hand. That’s a manufacturer claim about frequency, not a statement that draining is never required — closer in spirit to the drainage-free claim made by the Dreo unit elsewhere in this comparison, but described in less specific terms.
Controls and modes
The YPK11S-07C/3-W combines cooling, dehumidifying and fan-only modes in one unit (3-in-1), operated through an on-unit touch panel, a remote with roughly 7 metres of range, or a mobile app. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control — a control option none of the other three units in this comparison publish. A 24-hour timer allows scheduled on/off times.
Installation and window fit
The unit ships with a window seal kit that Temprium describes as fitting most European window types. Unlike the Okyuk and Dreo units in this comparison, which both publish an exact window-width range (43–135 cm), Temprium doesn’t give a specific size limit for this model — worth measuring the window opening before assuming a fit.
What Temprium doesn’t publish
Refrigerant type, energy efficiency class, a standard/full-power dB(A) rating, and an exact window-width range are not published by Temprium for this model. It’s also the only one of the four units here where the French marketplace listing carried a valid price without an Amazon-confirmed buy-box seller at the time of checking — the item still appears purchasable, but it’s worth confirming the seller at checkout.

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)
Alexa and Google Assistant voice control alongside the included remote and touch panel — more control options than the Okyuk unit in this comparison
Built-in self-evaporation system, which Temprium says significantly cuts how often the tank needs manual draining
The cheapest of the four units checked for this comparison, at roughly 240 € on its lowest confirmed market
Compromises
Smallest published room coverage of the four units in this comparison: 20 m², against 25–45 m² for the others
Temprium publishes a 53 dB(A) figure only for sleep mode — no standard/full-power operating noise rating is published
On France's marketplace, the listing had a New price but no Amazon buy-box winner at the time of checking — worth confirming the seller before ordering
Refrigerant type and energy class are not published for this model

Questions people actually ask
Does the Temprium YPK11S-07C/3-W need to be drained by hand?
Temprium describes a built-in self-evaporation system that it says significantly reduces how often the condensate tank needs emptying. The company does not publish a claim that draining is never required, so check the unit during periods of heavy, humid use.
How loud is it at night?
The only noise figure Temprium publishes is 53 dB(A), and it applies specifically to sleep mode, where fan speed is automatically reduced and room temperature is allowed to drift up by 2 °C over four hours. No standard or full-power dB(A) rating is published.
Is it actually for sale outside Germany?
At the time of checking, Keepa data showed a valid New-condition price on Amazon.de, .fr, .it and .es. On France's listing specifically, that price wasn't attached to an Amazon-confirmed buy-box winner, so it's worth checking the seller at checkout rather than assuming it ships and is sold directly by Amazon.

Who this one is for
Renters or small bedrooms up to about 20 m² who want app and voice control without paying for a higher-BTU unit.

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 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.
Best for: Buyers who want a wider 25 m² coverage claim and a published refrigerant/energy class, but don't need app or voice control.
