We installed a new gas aga last year and I've decided to provide feedback as I found very little reviews online when we were researching whether to invest in one or not. They are not cheap and it is a huge decision to make so I'm hoping my feedback my help someone else that may be considering investing in one. Please note I have absolutely no connections to AGA or any related company in Ireland. We paid full price for ours and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I ever made. There were quite a few UK reviews online but very few reviews from Irish AGA users. The big decisions were whether to go for a 24/7 gas model or a dual fuel model. The duel fuel type has gas ovens but the hot/simmering plates are run on electricity. This type didn't appeal to me as I wanted the hot/simmering plates to be on all the time without having to wait approx 10 mins for them to heat up. By leaving them on all the time on this model it would have been more expensive. In the end we went with the natural gas model which is on 24/7. It seems that AGA don't push this model and seem to be really pushing and advertising the electric ones. But we wanted that constant warm heat and also based on my research the electric agas are expensive to run in Ireland. My mum has an old converted electric aga which is crazy money to run. Do not think of installing one of these. Before the recent electric price increases it was costing her approx €60 a week to run. I spoke to the engineer that installed our natural gas aga and he also confirmed that in his opinion the reconditioned ones are not a success. Anyway, on the AGA website and TN cooks, they had estimated Kwh usage for each cookers. I was skeptical to be honest but I can now say these estimates were correct. However, what you need to factor into account is that your electricity bill will reduced substantially. The reason for this is that the AGA does all the cooking, drying clothes, ironing (!!!), replaced the kettle, toaster and on top of this you will not need to heat the room where it based or also likely the surrounding rooms. Our gas bills for our heating were actually higher than our bills after we installed the aga. They have gone up now due to the recent energy price increases. Before we got the AGA we used the tumble dryer constantly and I was constantly behind on the ironing. Now I put an airer in front of the aga going to bed, clothes are bone dry in the morning. Then I put a chefs pad on the lid of the simmering plate, fold the clothes as I take them off the airer (cotton clothes first) and pile them onto the lid. I leave them there for a few hours and the gentle head takes out all the creases. It literally irons our duvet covers, pillow cases, underwear etc, everything comes out perfect. If you need a perfectly ironed shirt then you would probably have to iron that by hand but otherwise it's great. The one thing that AGA has helped me do is stay up to date with my laundry. Not sure if there's anything else I need to add here. It goes without saying that food tastes so much better out of the aga. AGA eggs are the best ever. I use bakoglide directly on the simmering hob, crack the egg with no oil and you have perfect eggs every time. We also use the bakoglide for making pancakes, toasties etc. I have the three oven model and it's more than enough. We have a roasting oven, baking oven and simmering oven. There is no controls so it's easy for the kids and hubby to use too. Other key thing is that an aga doesn't dry out food, so if we're heading out to the kids activities I can pop a lasagne in the baking oven and its good for a few hours. If I'm doing a rice dish but going to be gone for a while, I can put the rice in the simmering oven and it will cook away very slowly and is always perfect when we get back. One tip I would give is to make sure you keep changing your natural gas supplier every year in order to get the discount as this help keep the costs down. I think that's it. I hope this post might help anyone else that is considering investing in one. As I said I have no affiliation to aga but there were very very reviews when I was starting out this road so hence why I wanted to post this. I always joke that I would get rid of the husband and kids before I'd get rid of the Aga, she really is my best friend and certainly makes this busy mum's life a lot easier.
