Why it matters
The Honeywell HPA5200B Air Purifier is a large-room / whole-floor air purifier that its maker rates for 1700 square feet.
At the usual 4.8 air changes an hour and an 8-foot ceiling, a 1,700-square-foot rating implies about 1,088 cubic feet of clean air a minute. In a 12-by-15-foot bedroom that would turn the air over roughly 45 times an hour.
Filtration: HEPA. Power draw: 21.6 watts.
Price-wise it sat in the cheapest third of the 57 large-room / whole-floor models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
It qualifies for our lists Best Air Purifiers for Large Living Rooms, Best Honeywell filters and air products, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
Its rated room size of 1,700 square feet is above the middle of the range we cover: 105 of the 152 purifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 62 square feet to 4,800 square feet.
