Weight
14 lb (6.4 kg)The lower spec to the highly acclaimed HPA300, At 20.8 x 17.7 x 10.1 in, Honeywell HPA200 is neither the smallest or biggest in its class. Similar story with the weight as 14lb is not heavy but certainly not as portable as other travel size air purifier. Design wide is the exact mirror to HPA300 which is highly functional but lacks the cleanliness and minimalist touch as most modern air purifier. Beside the easy to use top controls, you’ll get standard 4 fanspeed including turbo mode, electronic filter replacement reminders, light dimmer option, 3 pre-set hour timer, AHAM certified, ENERGY STAR certified and 5 years warranty.

^ Honeywell HPA200 filters/ technologies/ lifespan
Honeywell HPA200 has the same 2-stage filtration setup as HPA300 which by no means is poor. The Carbon pre-filter can simultaneously trap large particles e.g. dust, hair, cigarette smoke and pet odors. For smaller and finer particles, there is the highly reliable HEPA filter that specialize on micron size germ and allergens. The only key differences between Honeywell HPA200 and HPA300 is HPA200 requires only 2 carbon pre-filter rather than the later 3.Honeywell HPA200 is covered against

Honeywell HPA200 3-stage filtration and purifying applicable area is incredible when go up against allergens, viruses and bacteria. It is truly efficient on large-scale airborne contaminants especially dust. Nevertheless against small, micron size contaminants, Honeywell HPA200 4 speed airflow circulation + is impressive at taking down pollen, mold, mildew, pet dander and dust mites. On odors, smokes and fumes, Honeywell HPA200 filtration is inferior in addressing VOCs, chemicals, odors, diaper smell, fire, VOCs, vapor, tobacco smokes and cigarette.
Keep it down
Lets cut to the chase, Honeywell HPA200 noise level and power consumption is pretty much industrial standard so expect low noise/ energy consumption at first speed and higher but not outrageously so at turbo speed. Therefore HPA300 would make more sense as its airflow performance is greater. If the output figures is still high to your liking, consider the challenger air purifier below.At what cost
