Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Vega VHSB04 costs ₹653 more than Havells HS4201, 53% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Vega VHSB04 does something you actually need.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.1★ and 4.0★ are close enough to be noise, across 2,413 and 3,166 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHSB04 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Havells HS4201 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Vega VHSB04 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
That ₹1,235 is the best of 3 listings we track for Havells HS4201, currently on Amazon. Note that Havells HS4201 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.
