Which one to buy
Vega VHTH38 costs ₹499 against ₹588 for Nova NHT1073, a real gap of ₹89 (18%). That is enough to matter, and big enough to survive the usual day-to-day price movement on both listings.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.1★ and 4.0★ are close enough to be noise, across 274,824 and 18,483 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHTH38 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Nova NHT1073 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Vega VHTH38 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹499 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.
