Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Vega VHSH26 costs ₹485 more than Philips BHS393, 35% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Vega VHSH26 does something you actually need.
The ratings point the same way as the price: Philips BHS393 is both cheaper and better rated, at 4.3★ from 24,043 ratings against 4.1★. 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.
The ₹1,399 figure is on Amazon, and is the lowest we observed across every listing we track for it. Prices on both products move often enough that it is worth opening each listing before deciding.
