Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Vega VHSH26 costs ₹649 more than Havells HS4201, 53% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Vega VHSH26 does something you actually need.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.1★ and 4.1★ are close enough to be noise, across 2,413 and 1,161 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHSH26 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 VHSH26 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹1,235 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.

Common questions
Is Havells HS4201 or Vega VHSH26 cheaper?
Havells HS4201 is cheaper today by ₹649. Both are tracked daily, so this can change.
