The Difference Between the Aga Total Control & the Aga eR7
The Electric Aga eR7 is the latest version of the Aga Total Control, with only one minor difference separating the two models. The eR7 has a variable roasting and baking setting which allows the change of the temperature by 30-40 degrees. The Total Control roasting and baking oven is pre-calibrated to an optimised temperature.
The Total Control model was a major step forward in Aga cooker design, making it ideal for modern households that don’t want a permanently-on cooker all the time, giving more control of how the ovens and hotplates are used.

Benefits of the Electric Aga Total Control & Aga eR7
Full Cooking Control (On-demand Heat) – Both cookers allow you to switch ovens and hotplates on and off independently, and use only the sections you need at any time and avoid heating the whole cooker unnecessarily. This gives far greater flexibility compared to traditional Agas that run continuously.
Energy Efficiency & Lower Running Costs – One of the biggest combined advantages is improved efficiency; programmable timers allow scheduled cooking times, Eco/slumber modes reduce energy usage when not in use, faster heat-up times mean less wasted energy and only active zones consume power.
Independent Control Makes Them Much More Practical – Unlike older Agas, where everything is heated together, both models introduce independent control of key cooking zones. This makes them far more practical for everyday life while still keeping the traditional cooking feel.
Versatile Cooking Performance – Allowing you to roast, bake, simmer, and slow cook simultaneously, use different ovens for different cooking styles, cook multiple dishes without flavour transfer and achieve consistent results across everyday and batch cooking
Retains Iconic Aga Cooking Quality – Despite the modern controls, both models maintain cast-iron radiant heat cooking, moisture retention for better flavour, and gentle, even heat distribution, the traditional Aga cooking experience.
Greater Lifestyle Flexibility – Both systems are designed for modern living; can be turned off when not needed, can run on schedules (workdays, weekends, holidays), adapt to seasonal usage (on in winter, reduced in summer), and no need for 24/7 operation.
