NEW DELHI: KENT Maxx Star is listed at Rs 9,100 on KENT's website, below the Rs 9,599 displayed for KENT Maxx. Both are UV+UF water purifiers aimed at low-TDS tap or municipal water, while Star adds a UV LED inside the storage tank. The lower displayed price does not make the two product descriptions interchangeable.
| Model | Displayed price, including tax | Purification listed | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| KENT Maxx | Rs 9,599 | UV+UF | 7 litres |
| KENT Maxx Star | Rs 9,100 | UV+UF and in-tank UV LED | 7 litres |
Price as of 6 November 2026, 01:07 IST. These are official displayed product prices, without adding payment offers or assuming delivery availability. The Maxx Star page showed sold out when checked, so its price is a catalogue reference rather than confirmation that an order can be placed.
Compare the treatment system before the price
The central feature difference is where Star adds treatment: inside the stored-water tank. KENT describes the additional UV LED as a way to help protect water after purification. That does not change the model into an RO purifier. The manufacturer's FAQ explicitly says this UV+UF design does not reduce dissolved salts or hardness.
For an Indian household moving between municipal supply and borewell water, the source-water question therefore comes before the name on the front. Do not carry an assumption from the previous home's purifier into a new installation. Record the actual water source and discuss its suitability before treating a cheaper displayed price as the answer.
This comparison reports the manufacturer's stated application and specification. It does not establish that an individual home's water is suitable, or independently verify a water-quality outcome. A model's place in a brand catalogue cannot substitute for checking the water it will receive.
The shared storage figure needs the right context
The product pages list the same purification rate, up to 60 litres per hour, and the same tank capacity. Rate and storage describe different things: one is production over time, while the other is water held ready for dispensing. Reading them separately avoids mistaking a throughput claim for the amount available in the tank.
When planning drinking and cooking use, think about when people draw water rather than only the total used across a day. A morning kitchen routine may involve several draws close together. The useful question for this pair is how the listed tank and production specifications fit that pattern, rather than whether one name sounds more powerful.
The base Maxx page highlights its transparent, detachable tank as an aid to cleaning. Keep the supplied cleaning instructions with the appliance and identify the exact version before arranging maintenance. A visible tank makes it easier to see the stored water, but appearance alone should not be used to judge its quality.
Check the product code and installation space
KENT identifies Maxx as product code 111013 and Maxx Star as 111086. Both listings allow wall mounting or countertop placement and specify ABS construction. These references help distinguish the order and installation discussion from a broad request for a Maxx purifier.
The published dimensions describe the same overall size in different units: Maxx uses millimetres, while Star uses centimetres. Read the unit label before concluding that one is much larger. Compare the actual installation position with the supplied documentation, including how the tank and service area will be reached.
A practical order check is to keep the chosen name, product code, listed price and installation location in one note. That is especially helpful when the person placing the order is different from the person at home for installation. It reduces the chance of accepting a substitution merely because it shares the family name.
A family name includes other treatment combinations
KENT's official UV category also lists Maxx Alkaline B and Maxx Plus separately. Those descriptions add different treatment features. They are not alternative labels for the two models in this table, and their presence is a reason to read beyond the first word of a search result.
The category page corroborates the displayed prices for this pair. It also shows why a price ranking is only a snapshot: the current ordering puts the Star below the base Maxx. There is no basis here to describe that ordering as a launch price, a permanent premium or a forecast of what the next purchase will cost.
