I am still waiting for it to function as claimed. There are only 2 of us and yet our electricity consumption is terrifying(£500-600 per quarter). Unless at Christmas time I never cook for three hours a day and yet still use more electricity than the claimed 28.5 units per day. Aga customer service has been zero (apparently their usual customers do not need to worry about paying their bills!)So I would NOT consider Aga "green"!!!

It works like a charm! I don't think she has ever even ran into an instance when it needed any sort of service besides regular up-keep. We love it!

The food that comes from it is incredibly moist and delicious. Not to mention, on a cold winter morning there is nothing better than running downstairs and warming your derrière in front of it while you're waiting for your morning cup to brew! ; ) After preparing dinner twice on my mom's AGA this past weekend - I decided to do a post about AGA cookers on ABCD Design. When I googled it to research it, I found this post by you! So delighted to see your post - see you over on Twitter... Warm regards, ABC Dragoo Kim,

I've got a 30 Amp AGA cooker and it is just fabulous.The cheapest AGA cooker to run is a 30 Amp one which is roughly half the running costs of all the other AGA cooker models including the 13 Amp fitted with AIMS (without AIMS the running costs would be extremely high). As far as being green to manufacturer,1.5 tonnes of CO2 is produced for each AGA cooker made which is twice the amount produced in the production of your average family car. In a year the amount of CO2 produced is 4.5 to 6.5 tonnes which is twice the amount produced by the average family home.
