Which one to buy
Agaro HV2179 is the cheaper of the two, but only by ₹50, around 3%, which is inside the range either price can move in a week. Treat them as the same price bracket and choose on specification.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.0★ and 4.1★ are close enough to be noise, across 24,027 and 2,914 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Philips BHD356 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Agaro HV2179 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Philips BHD356 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
That ₹1,699 is the best of 3 listings we track for Agaro HV2179, currently on Amazon. Note that Philips BHD356 appears on fewer stores (2), so its price has less competition to hold it down and is the more likely of the two to drift.
