Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Philips BHS336 costs ₹1,241 more than Vega VHCH01, 99% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Philips BHS336 does something you actually need.
The ratings point the same way as the price: Vega VHCH01 is both cheaper and better rated, at 4.2★ from 15,351 ratings against 4.1★. When the cheaper product is also the better-reviewed one there is not much left to weigh up.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHCH01 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Philips BHS336 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Vega VHCH01 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
That ₹1,249 is the best of 3 listings we track for Vega VHCH01, currently on Amazon. Note that Vega VHCH01 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.
