We read both marketplaces' egg boiler shelves on 22 October 2026 - 55 true egg boilers on Flipkart and 15 on Amazon, once the rice cookers, pressure cookers and kettles both queries return are set aside. Seven models appear on both sites, and on four of them the price is identical to the rupee.
On two of those four the discount badge is not. The same Philips HD9137/90 costs Rs. 1,599 either way and is badged 20% on Amazon and 30% on Flipkart, because the two print different stated MRPs beside the same price. Both shelves then end at that very machine.
📅 Update log:
22 Oct 2026: first published. Amazon figures read from its own search results (egg boiler, electric egg cooker); Flipkart figures from its own search results (egg boiler, two pages). Both read the same day, logged out, from India, nothing purchased. Eight listings that are not egg boilers and two with stated MRPs a hundred times their price were excluded before any figure was computed.
We read both marketplaces' egg boiler shelves on 22 October 2026 - 55 true egg boilers on Flipkart and 15 on Amazon, once rice cookers, pressure cookers, kettles and multi-cookers are set aside. Seven models appear on both sites, and on four of them the price is identical to the rupee.
On two of those four, the discount badge is not. The same Philips costs Rs. 1,599 either way and is badged 20% on one site and 30% on the other, because the two print different numbers beside it.
Seven models on both sites, and what each actually costs
| Model | Amazon price | Amazon stated MRP & badge | Flipkart price | Flipkart stated MRP & badge | Cheaper |
|---|
| Philips HD9137/90, 400 W | Rs. 1,599 | Rs. 1,995 — 20% | Rs. 1,599 | Rs. 2,295 — 30% | Rs. 0 |
| Prestige PEB-01, 350 W, 7 eggs | Rs. 999 | Rs. 1,395 — 28% | Rs. 999 | Rs. 1,495 — 33% | Rs. 0 |
| KENT Quick, 370 W, 7 eggs | Rs. 849 | Rs. 1,700 — 50% | Rs. 849 | Rs. 1,700 — 50% | Rs. 0 |
| AGARO Grand, 8 eggs, poacher | Rs. 949 | Rs. 2,199 — 57% | Rs. 949 | Rs. 2,199 — 57% | Rs. 0 |
| KENT Instant, 370 W, 7 eggs | Rs. 1,049 | Rs. 1,800 — 42% | Rs. 1,029 | Rs. 1,800 — 43% | Flipkart by Rs. 20 |
| Longway Eggo, 350 W, 7 eggs | Rs. 389 | Rs. 789 — 51% | Rs. 328 | Rs. 789 — 58% | Flipkart by Rs. 61 |
| THEMISTO TH-611, 350 W | Rs. 425 | Rs. 799 — 47% | Rs. 483 | Rs. 699 — 31% | Amazon by Rs. 58 |
Four of the seven are the same price to the rupee. The Philips at Rs. 1,599, the Prestige PEB-01 at Rs. 999, the KENT Quick at Rs. 849 and the AGARO Grand at Rs. 949 cost exactly the same on both marketplaces.
On two of those four the stated MRP differs, so the badge does too. The Philips is badged 20% on Amazon against a stated Rs. 1,995 and 30% on Flipkart against a stated Rs. 2,295 - Rs. 300 of difference in a figure nobody pays, producing ten points of difference in a figure everybody reads. The Prestige PEB-01 does the same at Rs. 100 and five points. On the KENT Quick and the AGARO the two sites agree on the strike-through as well, and the badges match exactly.
Where the prices do differ, they differ by very little. Flipkart is Rs. 20 cheaper on the KENT Instant and Rs. 61 cheaper on the Longway Eggo; Amazon is Rs. 58 cheaper on the THEMISTO. The THEMISTO is the one that inverts the badge entirely - Amazon sells it for less and badges it 47%, Flipkart sells it for more and badges it 31%, because Flipkart prints the lower stated MRP of the two. A stated MRP is the figure a listing prints, and nothing here suggests any of these figures is improper; it simply means the badge cannot be used to compare two sites.
The two shelves, side by side
| Measure | Amazon | Flipkart |
|---|
| True egg boilers returned | 15 | 55 |
| Price range | Rs. 280 to Rs. 1,599 | Rs. 195 to Rs. 1,599 |
| Median price | Rs. 797 | Rs. 392 |
| Median badge | 53% | 58% |
| Badge range | 20% to 77% | 20% to 78% |
| Listings publishing a rating | 15 of 15 | 50 of 55 |
| Median rating pool | 3,199 | 196 |
| Deepest single rating pool | 51,901 | 87,024 (on a Rs. 461 NOVA) |
| Listings dropped as not egg boilers | 5 (kettles, multi-cookers, steamers) | 3 (rice cooker, pressure cooker, travel cooker) |
| Listings dropped for an impossible stated MRP | 2 (Rs. 27,400 printed on a Rs. 274 product) | 0 |
Both shelves end at the same product and the same price. The Rs. 1,599 Philips HD9137/90 is the most expensive true egg boiler on each. That is an unusually tidy result and it is worth stating before the medians, which look very different.
Flipkart's median is half Amazon's because Flipkart lists nearly four times as much. Rs. 392 against Rs. 797 is not a statement about who charges more - it is a statement about assortment. Flipkart's extra forty listings are almost all unbranded machines below Rs. 500, and its floor is a Rs. 195 OMFEBRIC seven-egg boiler. Amazon's cheapest is Rs. 280.
The median badges are five points apart and tell you almost nothing. 58% against 53%, on shelves whose matched models cost the same money. If there is a single thing to take from this page, it is that the badge column is the least comparable column on either site.
Amazon rates everything; Flipkart has the deepest single pool
Amazon published a star average and a review count on all 15 of its listings; Flipkart on 50 of its 55. The gap in depth is larger than the gap in coverage: Amazon's median pool is 3,199 ratings against Flipkart's 196, roughly sixteen times.
But the single deepest pool in the whole read is Flipkart's - 87,024 ratings on a NOVA double-layer boiler selling at Rs. 461, against Amazon's deepest of 51,901 on a KENT at Rs. 1,049. So Flipkart's shelf is not under-reviewed so much as unevenly reviewed: a handful of very large pools at the volume sellers, and thin or absent ones across the cheap unbranded tail.
On a shelf like this the review count is the only number neither site can set by itself, which is why we quote it on every comparison. It is also the only thing on either page that speaks to whether a 350 W element actually boils seven eggs - and we have not tested that ourselves.
What both queries return that is not an egg boiler
Eleven listings across the two sites were dropped before any figure on this page was computed, and the reasons matter.
Eight are different products. Amazon's query returned a 1.2 L AGARO electric kettle, a Pigeon 1.5 L multi-cooker, a Glen 3-in-1 multi cooker, a Lifelong momo and modak steamer and a Wipro multi cooker. Flipkart's returned a Prestige electric rice cooker at Rs. 3,060 and a Prestige pressure cooker at Rs. 7,979, plus a Rs. 2,245 travel cooker. Several of these do boil eggs among other things, which is presumably why they rank - but leaving them in would have put Flipkart's ceiling at Rs. 7,979 instead of Rs. 1,599 and destroyed the comparison.
Two are data errors. Two Amazon listings sell at Rs. 274 against a stated MRP of Rs. 27,400 - an exact factor of a hundred - which generates a 99% badge on each. Those are not discounts, and a roundup that sorted by badge would have led with them. We exclude any listing whose stated MRP exceeds eight times its selling price, because genuinely inflated strike-throughs on this market top out around there. After filtering, the deepest valid badge on either shelf is 78%.
What this page does not tell you
Nothing here was bought, plugged in or used. No egg was boiled. Wattages, egg capacities, "Stainless Steel Heating Plate", "Auto Shut Off", "3 Boiling Modes" and the rest are the listings' own printed specifications, reproduced and not independently verified. We make no claim about build quality, how evenly any of these cook, how long they last, or whether the auto cut-off works - and on a 350 W appliance sold from Rs. 195, those are the questions that actually matter.
The matched models are matched on the model numbers in the listings' own titles - HD9137/90, PEB-01, TH-611 and so on - not by inspection. Where a title gives no model number we have not attempted a match. Capacity and wattage were checked against each listing where stated, but we have not confirmed that two listings sharing a model number are identical units, and sellers, warranties and box contents may differ between the two sites.
And it does not tell you today's price. Every figure was returned on 22 October 2026. Marketplace prices move daily and festive-season prices move faster. A stated MRP is the figure a listing prints; nothing here asserts that any such figure is false or improper. Check the live listing before buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amazon or Flipkart cheaper for an egg boiler in October 2026?
On the models both sites carry, they are mostly the same price - and on three of them, exactly the same price. The Philips HD9137/90 is Rs. 1,599 on both, the Prestige PEB-01 Rs. 999 on both and the KENT Quick Rs. 849 on both. Of the seven matched models in this read, four are identically priced, Flipkart is cheaper on two (by Rs. 20 and Rs. 61) and Amazon on one (by Rs. 58). The shelf medians look very different - Rs. 392 on Flipkart against Rs. 797 on Amazon - but that is a difference in what each site lists, not in what either charges: Flipkart returned 55 egg boilers and reaches down to Rs. 195, Amazon returned 15 and stops at Rs. 280. Both shelves top out at the same Rs. 1,599 Philips.
Why does the same Philips egg boiler show 20% off on Amazon and 30% on Flipkart?
Because the two sites print different stated MRPs against an identical selling price. The Philips HD9137/90 sells for Rs. 1,599 on both. Amazon prints a stated MRP of Rs. 1,995, which makes a 20% badge; Flipkart prints Rs. 2,295, which makes a 30% badge. You pay exactly the same money either way and the badges differ by ten points. The Prestige PEB-01 does the same thing at a smaller scale - Rs. 999 on both, badged 28% against a stated Rs. 1,395 on Amazon and 33% against Rs. 1,495 on Flipkart. A stated MRP is the figure a listing prints, and nothing here says either figure is false or improper; the point is that a badge is computed against a number that is not the same on both sites, so it cannot be used to compare them.
How deep are the review pools on egg boilers, and where?
Amazon rates everything and its pools are sixteen times deeper at the median; Flipkart holds the single deepest. In this read Amazon published a rating on 15 of 15 listings, at a median pool of 3,199; Flipkart published on 50 of 55, at a median of 196. But the deepest pool anywhere belongs to Flipkart - 87,024 ratings on a Rs. 461 NOVA double-layer boiler, against Amazon's deepest of 51,901 on a KENT. The practical reading is that Amazon's shelf is smaller and more heavily reviewed throughout, while Flipkart's is wide, thinly reviewed at the cheap end, and carries a couple of very large pools at the volume sellers.
Why do two Amazon egg boilers show 99% off?
Because their stated MRP is exactly a hundred times their selling price, which is a data error rather than a discount. Two Amazon listings in this read sell at Rs. 274 against a stated Rs. 27,400, generating a 99% badge on each. We excluded both before computing any median, range or badge figure on this page, and we are naming them rather than dropping them silently, because a 99% badge is exactly the headline a roundup would otherwise lead with. The filter we apply is to drop any listing whose stated MRP is more than eight times its price - real inflated strike-throughs on Indian marketplace data top out around that. After filtering, the deepest valid badge on either shelf is 78%.
What did you exclude from this egg boiler comparison?
Eight listings that are not egg boilers, and two with impossible strike-throughs. Both queries return a good deal else: Amazon returned a 1.2 L electric kettle, a 1.5 L multi-cooker, a 3-in-1 multi cooker, a momo steamer and a Wipro multi cooker; Flipkart returned a Prestige electric rice cooker at Rs. 3,060, a Prestige pressure cooker at Rs. 7,979 and a travel cooker at Rs. 2,245. Leaving those in would have put Flipkart's ceiling at Rs. 7,979 instead of Rs. 1,599 and made the two shelves look far less alike. We also dropped the two Amazon rows with a Rs. 27,400 stated MRP. Nothing was dropped for being cheap, dear or badly rated. These were the figures on 22 October 2026 - check the live listing before buying.
