Which one to buy
Havells HD3161 costs ₹949 against ₹1,082 for Vega VHDH36, a real gap of ₹133 (14%). That is enough to matter, and big enough to survive the usual day-to-day price movement on both listings.
The ratings point the same way as the price: Havells HD3161 is both cheaper and better rated, at 4.2★ from 2,054 ratings against 4.1★. When the cheaper product is also the better-reviewed one there is not much left to weigh up.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Havells HD3161 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Vega VHDH36 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Havells HD3161 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹949 figure is on Amazon, and is the lowest we observed across every listing we track for it. Prices on both products move often enough that it is worth opening each listing before deciding.
