AGA Dual Control

Dual Control is a true heat storage AGA with cast iron ovens that give steady radiant heat. The ovens are designed to be on and ready, while the two hotplates can be switched on and off as needed. It is available in three oven and five oven formats, and selected models offer a neat induction zone on top. Dual fuel variants use gas for the ovens with electric hotplates, which suits homes that want classic warmth with simple control.

Best for

• Households that like an always ready oven setup with gentle background warmth
• Simple controls and quick hotplate heat up for everyday cooking
• Homes with mains gas or LPG when choosing the dual fuel option

AGA R3 Series

R3 models run on standard 13 amp electricity. They are designed to be on and ready like a traditional AGA but add modern features. You get a cast iron roasting oven, an enamelled radiant oven that can be set for baking or simmering, a warming oven, and a fast infrared grill. Most sizes include an induction hob alongside the classic AGA hotplate, with some widths offering twin hotplates for boiling and simmering at the same time. No flue, no plinth, and no servicing keeps installation simple.

Best for

• The classic always on feel with added speed from induction
• Kitchens without a chimney that still want cast iron AGA cooking
• Homes that value a built in grill and straightforward 13 amp install

AGA eR3 Series

eR3 is fully electric and focuses on everyday flexibility. You get two cast iron heat storage ovens for roasting or baking and for simmering, a useful warming oven, and an induction hob on top. Larger 150, 160 and 170 models add a generous conventional fan oven for busy weeks and batch cooking. Each zone is independently controlled which makes it easy to tailor heat and manage energy use.

Best for

• Busy households that want radiant heat plus conventional capacity
• Quick weekday meals on induction, slower weekend cooking in cast iron
• No flue installation with clean electric running

AGA R7 Series

The R7 series provides the classic AGA experience with three cast iron ovens for roasting, baking, and simmering. The two hotplates heat up quickly and are controlled separately from the ovens. A simple control panel lets you pick settings to suit the season, from a comfortable background warmth to a lower output when you need it. Selected sizes offer an optional induction zone on top.

Best for

• Homes that like all day warmth with quick hotplate response
• Traditional AGA cooking with straightforward controls
• Larger kitchens and regular entertaining

AGA eR7 and eR7i

The eR7 series keeps three cast iron heat storage ovens but adds precise digital control. The roasting and baking ovens have preset temperature levels for repeatable results, and every oven and hotplate can be run on its own. The eR7i variant pairs the cast iron cavities with a separate conventional fan oven and a two zone induction hob, plus a powerful grill, which gives you radiant and conventional cooking in one appliance.

Best for

• Cooks who want the full AGA look with granular per zone control
• Switching between radiant and conventional methods without changing cooker
• Lower running costs through selective use

AGA 60

The AGA 60 (also known as the 'AGA City') brings cast iron heat storage into a 60 cm footprint. The top oven can be set for roasting or baking, and the lower oven is for simmering. It runs on electricity, needs no flue or servicing, and suits flats and smaller kitchens that still want real AGA results.

AGA Modules

An AGA Module is a separate conventional cooker that complements your main AGA. It can be integrated next to the cooker or placed freestanding elsewhere in the kitchen. Modules typically include a fan oven, a slow cook oven with an integral grill, and either a gas hob or a ceramic electric hob on top. Because the Module runs independently, you can use it when the cast iron ovens are resting or when you need extra capacity for a party.

Best for

• Extra weekday capacity without changing how you use the main AGA
• Flexible layouts since it can be freestanding or integrated
• Adding a conventional fan oven alongside radiant cooking

AGA Masterchef Series

The Masterchef is AGA’s conventional range cooker line in 90 cm and 110 cm sizes. It offers either a five zone induction hob or a five burner gas hob on top. Ovens vary by model but typically include a large multifunction main oven, a fanned second oven, a dedicated glide out grill, and a slow cook or keep warm oven. Masterchef pairs the AGA look with fast heat up, programmable timers, catalytic liners on some models, and features such as a bridging induction zone for griddles.

Best for

• Homes that want AGA style with conventional cooking and fast heat up
• Precise hob control on induction or visible flame on gas
• Families that prefer multiple conventional cavities for weeknight meals
