The deciding factors
The Delight NXT is what I recommend to people who have been burned by bad service. Purification-wise it is closely matched with the KENT Grand Plus — same 2,000 ppm ceiling, same core stages — so the decision comes down to two things: tank size and who shows up when it breaks. KENT gives you 9 litres; Aquaguard gives you 6 litres and Eureka Forbes' direct field force, which in my experience is the most dependable in Indian appliances.
Against that, Pureit Copper+ RO makes its case differently: Pureit's defining design decision is the one most buyers complain about and I think is exactly right: when the germkill kit reaches the end of its rated life, the purifier stops dispensing. Not a beep, not a blinking light you learn to ignore — it stops. Every other brand relies on you noticing an indicator, and in practice most Indian households run filters months past their rated life, which quietly turns a purifier into a contamination source.
Our practical advice: unless the Aquaguard Delight NXT's specific advantages match a real constraint you have — tank size for long water cuts, a higher TDS rating for brackish supply, hot water you will genuinely use — the cheaper unit is the better purchase. In this category, paying for capability you will never use is the most common way money gets wasted.
