Advantages: Great tasting food, No maintenance, lasts a lifetime, Always warm for no costs

Disadvantages: Installation expensive

An Aga does cost a lot of money... 5-7 thousand pounds. Having said this these last for a lifetime. The way it works is that natural gas/propane heats up large cylinders on the top and ovens in the bottom. These are at different temperatures for your different cooking needs. In this range of AGA there are two ovens, a roasting and a baking oven. On the top part of the aga there are two plates; simmering and warming. Once you have bought it there is hardly any need for constant care, it never switches off and it never costs you. It will warm up a room it is in, making it great to sit around when it is cold in the Winter (trust me my grandpa does this all the time when he is here). For any dish it gives a better taste through the unique way it is cooking it through and through. With Indian dishes such as lentils etc you do not have to worry about leaving it in the warming oven or simmering oven because it is predictable when it will be done... My mother goes outside and does the shopping before returning to take out brilliant tasting food. It should be noted however that it will need a ventilation pipe directly above it that goes out of the house. This is the one thing that could also prove dear when buying a new one depending on the structure of your house! It was designed by a scientist who went blind and he could not cook, so he made the AGA so that he didnt have to see what he was doing to make food.
