Refurbished vs New Aga Cookers

Choosing your perfect Aga Range Cooker can be difficult. One of the first choices you need to make is whether you go with a pre-owned, fully reconditioned or new model of cooker.



People decide to invest in an Aga Range Cooker for a whole range (pun intended) of reasons. They may want to relive childhood memories of cooking on an Aga Range Cooker with parents or grandparents. They may miss the comforting warmth of the kitchen on a cold, grey day. They may want to keep the classic design of a traditional kitchen or even urge for the nobility of Aga Range cooker ownership!


There are plenty reasons to buy an Aga range cooker direct from Aga Rangemaster Ltd, just as there are many reasons to buy a fully refurbished one. Hopefully the below will help you to reach your decision!


Brand New Aga Range Cookers.

We only reconditioned the classic Heat-Storage Aga range cookers - deluxe or standard models as they are the most requested by you. We know these cookers inside and out and can virtually convert or build them in our sleep (challenge Steve to this, we'd love to see the outcome!). Our refurbished Aga range cookers (with the exception of our ElectricKit and eControl Conversion), operate like a traditional "always on" Aga range cooker.


We hope this narrows down your choices if you are trying to decide between a New Aga range cooker or a Reconditioned one. If you have any questions or need some more information to help you to decide - give us a call! We're happy to help.

Whether you have the most up-to-date ElectricKit Advanced Conversion , or the manual ElectricKit Classic Conversion , there's some pre-installation requirements that need to be completed before we arrive. Please make sure these are all completed and in place before we arrive. If not, and we can't safely complete the conversion/install, we may need to charge for a 'failed install' and reschedule to the next available date in our diary (usually +3 months).
