Which one to buy

Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.1★ and 4.1★ are close enough to be noise, across 1,436 and 1,161 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHSH26 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 VHSH26 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
That ₹1,884 is the best of 3 listings we track for Vega VHSH26, currently on Amazon. Note that Vega VHSH26 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.
