Honeywell and Levoit are one of the most popular air purifier brands. In this article, I will compare the Levoit Core 200S and Honeywell HPA100 air purifiers in detail.
These are two small devices. Levoit covers rooms up to 183 sq. ft., while the Honeywell HPA100 covers rooms up to 155 sq. ft. The room coverage of these two models is not much different, but they are dissimilar in terms of advanced options.
The Levoit Core 200S is a smart air purifier with various features and extras, such as control via a smart app. The Honeywell HPA100, on the other hand, doesn’t have many advanced options to boast of. It only has basic options like filter reset indicator, timer, and display off.
Regarding design, I want to say that I fancy the Levoit Core 200S aesthetics more. Additionally, I think the Core 200S plastic is slightly better quality than the plastic on the Honeywell.
Keep reading and find out if the newer Levoit Core 200S can match the already proven Honeywell HPA100 air purifier. In addition, I suggest checking the table below, in which I have in-detail compared the specifications and features of these air purifiers.

Which One Does It Better?
I have to say that this was not a very doubtful comparison and that the Levoit Core 200S is deservedly a better choice.
As reasons for my decision, I would single out a little better performance, better maintenance, much quieter operation at almost all speeds, and many more advanced options.
