Which one to buy
Vega VHDH35 is the cheaper of the two, but only by ₹45, around 3%, which is inside the range either price can move in a week. Treat them as the same price bracket and choose on specification.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.4★ and 4.4★ are close enough to be noise, across 9,481 and 1,322 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
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 ₹1,545 is the best of 3 listings we track for Vega VHDH35, 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.

Vega VHDH35 is cheaper today by ₹45. Both are tracked daily, so this can change.
