Which one to buy
Philips BHS393 is the cheaper of the two, but only by ₹55, around 4%, 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. 4.3★ and 4.3★ are close enough to be noise, across 24,043 and 6,954 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Philips BHS393 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Vega VHCR01 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Philips BHS393 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
That ₹1,399 is the best of 3 listings we track for Philips BHS393, currently on Amazon. Note that Philips BHS393 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.
