Honeywell HEPA Large Room Air Purifier, Black HPA200

The filter check/reset light will remind you when it’s time to change your filter. To ensure stated product performance, use only genuine and certified Honeywell replacement filters. This home air purifier works with the Honeywell A and A+ Pre-Filter. This portable air purifier works with the Honeywell A and A+ Pre-Filter. The filter check/reset light will remind you when it’s time to change your filter. Any portable air purifier that is AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) Verifide means that it has been independently tested to ensure its efficiency in reducing smoke, dust and pollen.

An odor reducing pre-filter and True HEPA filter are paired to help capture odors and VOCs.3 The Honeywell HPA104WMP True HEPA Air Purifier with Allergen Remover offers easy tap controls and an automatic shut off timer. This quiet air purifier works with the Honeywell B Pre-Filter. The Pre-Filter is the first level of filtration and helps capture large particles such as dust, lint, fibers and pet fur and helps to reduce VOCs & odors from cooking, smoke, bathrooms and pets.

Honeywell Healthy Buildings help keep facilities safer for occupants, in part by cleaning the air automatically as people come and go. Controlling bacteria, pollen, pollutants and other contaminants can be done with proper filtration, and the HEPA Portable Air Purifier is a perfect place to start toward creating a healthier environment for your occupants. Some concentrations of organic chemicals are higher indoors than outdoors.

It wasn’t by any means unbearable, but not silent by any stretch of the imagination. Medium speed was surprisingly bearable, although the computer speakers had to be cranked significantly to hear anything on the computer. With an active cigarette, medium speed was sufficient to keep the air clear while the cigarette was burning.

Purifier manufacturers typically recommend replacing them annually, but check the manual; some models call for less frequent or more frequent replacement. You can manually dim or completely shut off the entire display when you want a dark room. A child lock function keeps young ones from altering the settings (or that’s the intent, anyway). Most important, the Vital 200S honeywell air purifier has a display shutoff that’s independent of the fan settings, so you can darken it at night while still keeping your air well cleaned. And our long-term test unit is performing without any issues, making us confident in its durability. We normalize the test data so that each machine’s peak reading of 0.3-micron particles represents the maximum particulate load it faced.

This size is perfect to move from room to room as needed. Helps me sleep better and keeps my allergies from taking over. This unit is lightweight, portable, and does the job well.

But because of its higher energy consumption, it costs more to maintain than our current budget pick, the Clorox Medium room. And it’s a tall, garish device that won’t blend into any decor outside of an Alien set. The GermGuardian AC5900WCA was a star performer in our 2019 test, but we also found it to be much louder than the top-pick Coway Mighty, measuring 47 decibels versus 39, on its quiet/medium setting. And the quality of the sound was rough and whooshy, versus the Mighty’s steady white noise. The Coway Airmega 150 is the first small-space machine from that company.

We’ve tested many Dyson purifiers over the years, most recently (2019) the Pure Cool TP04 and Pure Hot+Cool HP04. Neither model measured up well against our top pick, the Coway Mighty. We have also found no evidence that the fan function on Dyson purifiers makes them superior to other purifiers in the distribution of filtered air throughout a room. In fact, our years of testing have shown that any appropriately sized purifier will deliver filtered air rapidly into the farthest corner of a room. But it’s expensive, the filters last only six months, and replacements cost about $200.

If you were a chain-smoker, medium would probably be the minimum setting you’d get away with, although you could use low while you slept. If the HPA3300 is too expensive, I’d recommend our budget pick, the Lasko LP300. It currently costs about $87 and has affordable filter replacements.
