Should I be buying a 200 or a 300PH? I have a room that is 21 x 11. Thanks.

You square footage is exactly what the 230ph is rated for. But I would suggest gettin the 300ph anyways because it's always better to have something doing better than the required minimum.

I use mine in a room about that size. The 305s are definitely a better size for that size room, but if you plan on moving to a larger room down the road, the 308s are a good choice.

The link does not work so I can't see which model you wish to compare. Go to the Panasonic Website which lets you compare models and explains how you determine which size is right for the size of the room. You don't want to buy a model that is made for a bigger room because it will feel drafty. Also you need to know how much room you have for mounting. I have a small space so I needed a low profile fan.

Stay with the 200. Vignette is minimal to none and the clarity of the 18-200 is very impressive. Clear and sharp edge to edge(this impressed me the most.) You wont miss the 300 and you can take the money savings and apply to another lens.

I'm glad you were confused too. I didn't realize it was smaller when I ordered it. This one is fine for a small bedroom, but I needed one for a larger room.

This is the compact version. My feeling for an apartment with multiple rooms is that you would eventually want two. I have three of the taller large units, and one of these. If you have good circulation I would suggest the taller double model and you might be able to run it on a slower, quieter speed.

get the 2in.x30ft.it will be enough to do both boards with a little left over.

I would go with the 58" just so you know you have enough room. I BARELY could get it to work and my width was not much over 58"

I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I bought the Hobart 210 only because I'm usually financially embarrassed. I had a tough enough time reaching for the 210, let alone that upper shelf 211. But, the 211 is supposed to be the better machine. And, if you're just the typical homeowner, the Hobart 140 would most likely be all that you would ever need and at half the cost.

The 18-200 has better specs across all ranges (read Thom Hogan) A 300 mm lense can be very handy, but check the weight of each lense.

I have a 2000 sq. ft. house. It does all but the back two bedrooms (about 1700 sq. feet effectively), but that is more of a wall / air flow limitation. I would say about 1500 sq. feet is the ideal for the unit, but you can effectively get up to 2000+ sq. feet depending upon layout / air flow limitations. That is with ozone. I have tried similiar units, and for what it does, this is a great value for the money, regardless of size space.

It's pretty easy to set up and tear down however, I think space will be an issue. I would go with the next size up.

I have the 18-200 and have enjoyed it. If you are absolutely sure you will never go FX, the 18-200 is a good choice. For less money, I would prefer the 28-300 instead of 18-300, if you ever want to move to FX.

I had the same concerns and similar room configuration, but went with the 52" and very glad that I did. Viewing at 25 degree angle (+/-) no problem for us.

For 8ft to 12ft viewing distance, definitely go with 52" if price isn't an issue. You won't regret it. I too was in the same boat, 9 ft viewing distance and went with the 52". Couldn't be happier. It was shockingly big at first but don't worry you'll get used to it. PS. only had 26" CRT prior to my 52A550.

I would stay with the 20. I have the 20 and my friend has the 47. I feel like the 20 is more compact and doesn't take up much space.

I love my 800's. It all depends on the size of the room you're trying to fill.
