Fifty-seven listings read on one afternoon. Dyson is badged 8% and a DREAME robot vacuum 86%, five DREAME list prices are exactly double a round number, and two identically specified Croma irons sell Rs. 300 apart.
We read fifty-seven vacuum cleaner, steam iron and air purifier listings on croma.com on 11 September 2026, spanning Rs. 749 to Rs. 86,990, and the discount badge turned out to be a brand marker rather than a saving. Philips, Dyson, LG and Xiaomi — the names you can price-check anywhere — sit between 8% and 13%. The robot-vacuum brands run 33% to 86%, and five of their stated MRPs are constructed by doubling a round figure. Only thirty-three of the fifty-seven listings carry a star rating at all.
Every price below was pulled from Croma on September 11, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Croma coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

First: check what the stated MRP is made of before you read the badge - five DREAME list prices here are exactly twice a round Rs. ...,999 figure, and a Croma vacuum and a Eureka Forbes purifier both claim perfectly round numbers. Second: compare within a specification. Two Croma irons on this page are both 1600 Watts with a 210ml tank and both claim Rs. 2,000, and they sell Rs. 300 apart. Third: check the rating count, not the stars - twenty-four of the fifty-seven listings we read publish no rating at all, and several show 5.0 from a single rating. Fourth: expect the shallow badges from Philips, Dyson, LG and Xiaomi, because their prices have to survive comparison - the same split we found in our Croma EMI and delivery terms explainer.

On this shelf several of them are constructed rather than quoted. Five DREAME robot vacuums in this read carry a stated MRP ending in 998, and every one is exactly twice a round Rs. ...,999 figure — Rs. 99,998 is two times Rs. 49,999, Rs. 1,39,998 is two times Rs. 69,999, and so on through Rs. 59,998, Rs. 1,09,998 and Rs. 79,998. Five list prices built by doubling is a pattern, not five independent claims about what five machines once cost. We name it on every card it applies to.
Sort this category by discount and you sort it by brand. Philips's eleven listings run a median badge of 13%, Dyson's single listing 8%, LG's 13% and Xiaomi's 13%, while DREAME's eight run a median of 42% and up to 86%, Ecovacs's three run 60% to 70% and ILIFE's two 70% to 72%. That is not eight brands running different sales in the same week. It is two ways of setting a list price, and only one of them tracks anything you could have paid elsewhere.
Croma publishes very little review data on this shelf. Only thirty-three of the fifty-seven listings in this read carry a star average at all, and the largest rating count anywhere on the shelf is 178. Several listings show 5.0 stars from a single rating, which is not evidence of anything. We have set a floor of ten ratings for a rating pill on this page: below that we print the count in the specs and no pill, and we say when a card has no published rating.
It is the only comparison on a retailer shelf that cannot be argued with. Two Croma steam irons here are both 1600 Watts with a 210ml tank and both state an MRP of Rs. 2,000 — and they sell at Rs. 849 and Rs. 1,149. The Rs. 300 gap is between two colourways of the same specification. What makes it worth a card is the review data: the cheaper iron averages 4.1 stars from twenty-six ratings and the dearer one 2.6 from thirty-eight.
Because the list price they are discounted from is constructed. In this read of fifty-seven listings, five DREAME robot vacuums carry a stated MRP ending in 998, and every one is exactly twice a round Rs. ...,999 figure — Rs. 99,998 is two times Rs. 49,999, Rs. 1,39,998 is two times Rs. 69,999, and so on. A sixth states Rs. 1,79,999 against a selling price of Rs. 24,999, a badge of 86%. For contrast, Dyson's air purifier on the same shelf is badged 8% and Philips's eleven listings run a median of 13%. Compare the rupee price, not the percentage.
In this read on 11 September 2026 it was a Croma 1200 Watt, 180ml steam iron at Rs. 749, badged just 6% off a stated Rs. 800. It is also the worst-rated listing in the entire read at 1.8 stars from ten ratings. A hundred rupees more buys the same retailer's 1600 Watt, 210ml iron at Rs. 849, which averages 4.1 stars from twenty-six. The best-evidenced cheap iron we found was a Usha at Rs. 1,359 with sixty-four ratings at 4.1 stars — the second-largest review sample on the shelf. Prices change without notice.
We do not know, and Croma's listings do not explain it. Two Croma steam irons in this read are both 1600 Watts with a 210ml tank and a 360-degree swivel cord, both state an MRP of Rs. 2,000, and they sell at Rs. 849 and Rs. 1,149. The only difference in the listing text is the colour name. The badges that fall out are 58% and 43%, so the discount percentage points at the more expensive machine as the smaller bargain, which it is. The cheaper listing is also the better rated: 4.1 stars from twenty-six ratings against 2.6 from thirty-eight.
On price alone the category starts at Rs. 9,499 for a Eureka Forbes 270 and runs to Rs. 86,990 for an LG PuriCare. The more useful observation is the badge split at the middle of the range: a Honeywell Air Touch V5 at Rs. 11,499 is badged 50% off Rs. 22,999, while a Philips 900i at Rs. 11,990 is badged 14% off Rs. 13,995. Those two machines cost within five hundred rupees of each other and their claimed markdowns differ by thirty-six points. Not one of the eight purifiers we seated has ten or more published ratings, so there is little review evidence either way.
Sparsely, on this shelf. Only thirty-three of the fifty-seven listings in this read carry a star average at all, and the largest rating count anywhere is 178 — on a Rs. 3,399 Eureka Forbes dry vacuum badged eleven percent. Several listings show 5.0 stars from a single rating, which is not evidence. For that reason this page shows a rating pill only where at least ten customers have rated a product; below that we print the count in the specification list and leave the pill off. The most expensive machines here — the Rs. 86,990 LG, the Rs. 79,999 DREAME, the Rs. 54,990 Dyson — publish no rating at all.
