AGA Cookers in General Reviews

I have now had my 6:4 for 3 years. I regret this purchase every day. From the day it was delivered bits were faulty - springs in controls that according to the engineer was known to AGA - massively faulty thermostats that got to twice the heat - wire racks that don't slide in and out with one hand and to top it all you can't cook a tray of roast meat with a tray of roast potatoes in the same oven!!! I tried to cook 2 cakes of 4" height and had to resort yet again to using 2 ovens. The design of this cooker looks brilliant. In reality its rubbish. Unlike the original heating AGA you can't use the oven floor to cook on. Hence the severely restricted space. The company does not care. DO NOT BUY ONE! (unless you don't cook!)

I own an AGA 4:2 the two oven version of the 6:4, it's true these ovens are small but what ovens they are, the bottom fan oven is amazing for doing jacket spuds, and the grill is the best on the market... instant heat, whats great about these cookers is thes fact that once you've had the ovens on for about an hour the doors say hot (like a radiator effect for about 2 and a half hours) They look amaizing no other cooker can make a kitchen like an AGA.
If you have seen these reviews about small ovens from the 6:4 you could always consider the masterchef version they do, we nearly did.
Geat cooker great customer service!! I LOVE MY AGA!!

It seems I am not alone in my dissapintment at the poor reliability and poor customer service provided by AGA and their suppliers (in my case Bells of Northampton). Our new (9 month old) oil fired AGA failed to stay lit in the first few months and required a replacement Fire Valve under warranty (apparently a common problem??) and extension of the Flue (despite the original Flue having been installed by Bells recommended Flue installer). The top oven door is badly fitted and one of the top plates is badly seated. Rather than solving these issues and offering an apology the suppliers are more interested in trying to charge for call outs to resolve these issues and insisting that none of the problems are their responsibility. The standards of customer service are abysmal - be warned.

I own an AGA 6 4 and can't seem to fit a turkey in it at all. Can anyone tell me how they have managed to cook a Turkey inside the oven?

Since posting my review a few days ago I have still not had any response from AGA despite ringing them twice. Please if any other people out there have had trouble with the ovens will you post a review. I have told AGA about this website and they seemed a little rattled, but not rattled enough to respond to me.
SO HOW ARE THE AGA ELECTRIC OVENS WORKING FOR YOU?
Please respond.

Thanks June

The aga cooker....what a cooker it is. If you do a lot of cooking you should get an aga, they are big hold alot of food and cook food well. But only get one if you can afford it! Ags's cost a lot of money to buy and after that, your aga has always got to be on, as if switched off, takes forever to warm up. As it is always switched on it does zap ...  Read the complete review

Last year, during the summer, we had a large extension built onto our house and this added some extra rooms as well as largely extending our kitchen transforming it from a small square room into a large room with a dining area at one end and then the main kitchen along with an island in the middle of the room. We got all new shelving units and ...  Read the complete review

We bought an AGA 6-4 two years ago. In this time it has not once functioned properly despite numerous repairs. Either the ovens are too hot or too cold. The product is clearly not of merchantable quality. Upon further investigation 6-4 problems appear well known to AGA. Depsite this AGA fail to address the problem; their customer service is extremley poor. My letter of complaint 2 months ago has still not been fully repsonded to. I am now contemplating litigation to resolve - not what one expects when buying a product at this cost.
Avoid at all costs!

I bought an Aga 6/4 all electric cooker. It is beautiful, and the retail outlets - Fired Earth - are very helpful. However, dealing with Aga proper, the company and their engineers who have to install the cooker in your home, is like dealing with the boiler makers union back in the sixties. They have no idea of customer service, and you feel they ...  Read the complete review

the aga s series 6-4 is a beautiful addition to my kitchen, also i have put it's ability to the test at christmas with a 20lb turkey with all the trimmings, i love to entertain and i bake so my aga is not just ornamental and so far i have had no difficulties. Also the simmering oven is fantastic for your veg (Anything that grows below the ground) ...  Read the complete review

We bought an AGA S Series cooker. Big mistake! It keeps breaking down and costs a fortune in repair bills. The reliability is absolutely dreadful and it had to have several major components replaced under warranty. Now it's out of warranty, we're having to pay for the parts that continue to fail. This was a very expensive cooker ...  Read the complete review

Lets face it at £5000 for a new two oven Aga to do a little more than just cook, and that's exactly what it does, the Aga is a way of life. As soon as anyone enters a kitchen with an Aga they are instantly drawn to it even the pets that huddle in front of the warmth, it is also a status symbol for many. Options: The Aga ...  Read the complete review

Now that I have your attention I would like to let you down. This is about the aga 4 oven oil fired range with twin hot plates and warmer tray. £7000 worth and is it worth every penny, I think so. Constant hot water and heat ready to cook, grill boil at any time with lightning speed and an asset to the appearnce of any kitchen. ...  Read the complete review

When is a cooker not a cooker? When it's an AGA (pronounced arghh - er)! Y'see an AGA is so so so much more than a cooker. Its a boiler, a heater, a focal point, an old-fashioned yet up to the minute kitchen luxury. Erm.... at this point I must admit that I don't actually have one. That is not to say I don't dream ...  Read the complete review
