Main trade-off
LG PuriCare 360 Dual
The 42.3-pound, 42.2-inch cabinet is the hardest current LG here to move.
Head-to-head
LG PuriCare 360 Dual vs Single: Dual adds airflow but also height, weight and a second filter
The short answer
Choose the Single for a closed room near 300 square feet. The Dual is worth its extra height, weight and second filter only when the room needs roughly 330-CFM smoke airflow.

Will either purifier move enough clean air?
The result checks hard limits only. Preferences stay out of the calculation.
LG PuriCare 360 Dual
Fits these inputs330 CFM of verified clean-air delivery gives about 8.3 air changes per hour here. The 5 ACH target needs 200 CFM.
LG PuriCare 360 Single
Fits these inputs200 CFM of verified clean-air delivery gives about 5.0 air changes per hour here. The 5 ACH target needs 200 CFM.
This uses maximum-speed, pollutant-specific CADR and a five-air-changes-per-hour target. Quieter settings deliver less clean air. It does not substitute raw airflow or a one-change coverage claim.
