The catch
LG PuriCare 360 Dual
Of the current LG models here, the 42.3-pound, 42.2-inch cabinet is the hardest to move.
Side by side
LG PuriCare 360 Dual vs Single: Dual brings more airflow along with extra height, weight and a second filter
Quick verdict
For a closed room near 300 square feet, get the Single. The Dual's extra height, weight and second filter pay off only when the room needs roughly 330-CFM smoke airflow.

Smoke CADR: how big the gap is
The published “Smoke CADR” figure is 65% higher on LG PuriCare 360 Dual: 330 CFM, against 200 CFM on LG PuriCare 360 Single.
Where this comes from
Higher published output is useful only if your room, surface or workload calls for the extra headroom. It does not, by itself, prove better results. The percentage comes from the lower published figure.
The catch
LG PuriCare 360 Single
For a 310-square-foot AHAM room rating, the 23.1-inch-tall, 25.4-pound body is large.

Plug in your numbers
Can either purifier keep up with your room?
This checks hard limits only. Personal preferences are left out of the math.
LG PuriCare 360 Dual
Works with your numbers330 CFM of verified clean-air delivery works out to about 8.3 air changes per hour in this room. Hitting the 5 ACH target takes 200 CFM.
LG PuriCare 360 Single
Works with your numbers200 CFM of verified clean-air delivery works out to about 5.0 air changes per hour in this room. Hitting the 5 ACH target takes 200 CFM.
This uses each model’s pollutant-specific CADR at top speed and a target of five air changes per hour. Quieter settings clean less air. Raw airflow and one-change coverage claims are never swapped in.
