Investing in an Aga cooker is a big decision, and with so many models to choose from, finding the right one for your home can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re looking for a traditional heat-storage Aga cooker or a modern, energy-efficient model, there’s an option to suit every lifestyle.

At Range Exchange, we specialise in reconditioned Aga cookers, helping you find the perfect fit for your home. In this guide, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when choosing an Aga cooker so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Understanding Different Aga Cooker Models

Aga cookers come in a range of models, each offering unique benefits. It is important to understand the different Aga cooker models to help you make an informed decision. The main types include:

1. Always On Aga Cookers

These traditional style Aga cookers run continuously, providing constant warmth and radiant heat. They are ideal for homes where the kitchen is the heart of daily life. The traditional models that ran on solid fuel have long since been discontinued by AGA, but there are new generation models which act in a similar fashion to the original style we know and love. These models offer radiant heat into the room but are much more economical and controllable to suit modern day living.

• Dual Control Aga Cooker – A new generation Aga cooker model that maintains gentle background heat while allowing you to switch off the hotplates when not in use. This model acts the most similar to the traditional Aga cooker we know and love.
• R7 Aga Cooker – This model has recently superseded the Dual Control model, it offers similar functionality and iconic Aga cooker design.

2. Controllable Aga Cookers

As the name suggests, the Control Series Aga cookers are made up of various models that offer functionality and flexibility. Each cooker is designed to reduce running costs while retaining the many features people love about Aga cooking. The modern electric Aga cookers still offer cast-iron cooking capabilities and provide radiant-heat along with many other benefits.

If you want the benefits of an Aga cooker without constant running costs, a more controllable model might be the right choice. These cookers can be turned on and off as needed, making them more energy-efficient and suitable to those with a busy lifestyle.

• Total Control Aga Cooker – Independently controlled ovens and hotplates allow you to turn on just the sections you need.
• ER7 Aga Cooker – This model has recently superseded the Total Control model offering similar functionality and iconic Aga cooker design.

3. Compact Aga Cooker

For smaller kitchens or contemporary living spaces, these models offer the charm of an Aga cooker all rolled into a more compact format.

• City 60 Aga Cooker – A freestanding 60cm wide model perfect for small kitchens.

Choosing the Right Aga Cooker for Your Lifestyle

It can be a tough decision choosing which model to go for, there is so much to think about. We’ve put together a list of what you should consider when choosing the perfect Aga cooker for your home.

1. Cooking Style & Frequency

Think about how often you cook and the types of meals you prepare. If you love slow-cooked dishes and traditional Aga cooking, a heat-storage model is ideal. If you prefer quick, modern cooking methods, an gAa cooker with induction hobs or on-demand functionality might be a better fit.

2. Kitchen Space

Consider the size of your kitchen and how much space you can dedicate to an Aga cooker. The new generation Aga cooker models come in 3 oven and 5 oven models but you also have the ability to add on a module if you would like to go larger. Looking for something more compact? How about a City 60 Aga cooker which is designed for smaller spaces but still offers all the functionality of a bigger cooker.

3. Energy Efficiency & Running Costs

If you’re conscious of energy consumption, rest assured that all of our reconditioned electric Aga cookers are more economical than traditional Aga cookers.
