Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Vega VHSS02 costs ₹714 more than Havells HS4201, 58% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Vega VHSS02 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 2,659 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHSS02 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 VHSS02 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 VHSS02 cheaper?
Havells HS4201 is cheaper today by ₹714. Both are tracked daily, so this can change.
Are the discounts on these two products reliable?
At least one of them has platforms declaring different MRPs for the same item, so the percentage off is calculated from a figure that cannot be right on both. Compare the rupee prices above instead.
