Which one to buy
Vega VHTH36 costs ₹779 against ₹878 for Philips BT1232, a real gap of ₹99 (13%). That is enough to matter, and big enough to survive the usual day-to-day price movement on both listings.
The ratings point the same way as the price: Vega VHTH36 is both cheaper and better rated, at 4.2★ from 190,095 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 ₹779 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.
