The above comparison between Kent Supreme and Eureka Forbes Aquaguard Aura RO+AUTO UV+Alkaline+Mineral Guard+Active Carbon water purifier is made based on the common features they share between them; however, they both individually have many other added features. We will discuss the primary ones and see how they fare.
Before we come to the conclusion as to whether Kent or Aquaguard is best (product-wise), we have to make a distinction between the two in terms of technology, storage capacity, cost, appearance, customer service, etc. So, lets break them up.
Technology: Both Kent Supreme and Aquaguard Aura RO+AUTO UV+Alkaline+Mineral Guard+Active Carbon water purifiers use advanced RO+UV technology during the purification process. They both share added features of alkaline enrichment of water which helps maintain pH in the range of 8.5 to 9.5.
Aquaguard Aura saves up to 60% of water which is quite substantial given that RO water purifiers are known to waste a lot of water; however, Kent Ltd. claims that Kent Supreme is a Zero Water Wastage water purifier which is remarkable as this is the only purifier in India with this feature. If this is true, Kent definitely outscores Aquaguard Aura as far as technology is concerned.
Aquaguard Aura just like Kent Supreme have different models to help users choose their preferred one from among the wide varieties of water purifiers; the most recent one being a water purifier which enriches active copper into purified water.
Recently, Kent Ltd. launched a new Kent Supreme model which facilitates active copper enrichment of water. It is similar to the older model except that it has this new feature added to keep up with competition.
Storage: Kent Supreme has a storage capacity of 8 litres when compared with Aquaguard Aura of 7 litres which is not much of a deal. However, for rating purposes, if we consider storage capacity, Kent Supreme again outscores Aquaguard Aura.
Cost: Both Kent Supreme and Aquaguard Aura are expensive water purifiers, though the latter cost a little less than the former. If you are looking for superior technology, then you may need to shell out more money to buy these water purifiers. If you want something more economical, then Eureka Forbes do have water purifiers which are comparatively less expensive than Kent water purifiers.
Appearance: Kent Supreme is a stylish and eye-catching model which could be a beautiful product to have at ones kitchen; however, what appears beautiful for one person may not be the same for another. If you really give importance to appearance, then decide which one is ideal for you.
Kent Supreme outscores Aquaguard Aura 3:1 based on important parameters.

Both Kent and Aquaguard water purifiers irrespective of their models are good products.
