Which one to buy
Philips BHC017 costs ₹1,590 against ₹1,674 for Vega VHDH34, a real gap of ₹84 (5%). 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: Philips BHC017 is both cheaper and better rated, at 4.4★ from 9,481 ratings against 4.0★. When the cheaper product is also the better-reviewed one there is not much left to weigh up.
Both products carry an MRP mismatch: the listings we track show different maximum retail prices for each of them. Since MRP is printed on the pack, at least one displayed figure per product does not match it, so the discount on either listing is calculated from a number we cannot verify. Compare the rupee prices above and disregard both percentages.
That ₹1,590 is the best of 3 listings we track for Philips BHC017, currently on Amazon. Note that Philips BHC017 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.
