Re: aga fridge

No just started very recently, you probably wont see any comments yet as they haven’t been out long enough to get a torrent of failures

I don’t know who’s building them and I don’t recognise them but they do look almost commercial in appearance and, I’m guessing, that they’ll be pretty decent.

Re: aga fridge

if dont go for this one, any ideas of which fridges of f/freezers would go best in a warm++ room

Re: aga fridge

How warm Robert and what sort of thing is it that you’re after, that type of machine you posted?

The AGA one looks, on the face of it, like a good bit of kit TBH and the only thing you have to watch if you have temperature extremes is the climate class of the unit.

Re: aga fridge

AGA refrigeration is made by Williams, a commercial US based fridge specialist now part of the AGA Foodservice Group.

You own one of the most energy wasteful pieces of kitchen apparatus available in the World today – an AGA cooker. Oil units will get through up to £1200 worth of fuel every year, gas units up to £800. This is more energy than most people need to heat their house.

I have a heat store Heritage cooker, which cooks by the same method as an AGA but does not need to be switched on all day, every day.

Back to your question, the blurb for the AGA fridges and freezers mentions certain benefits like their ability to lower the temp of food up to four times quicker.

What they do not say is that these units, by my calculation but using AGAs’ own Kwh figures, get through best part of £300 of electricity per annum, for a fridge freezer. Because AGA call them ‘professional use’, they do not have to comply with energy rating labels.

If you were to buy a large American style fridge freezer, which has to be designed to meet Euro energy markings, it will use nearer to £60 of electricity per annum.

I have just done all this research because my wife fancied one to go with our AGA looky likey cooker.

Neither of us can justify the massive energy squandering resulting from such a purchase, so we will be buying an A+ rated fridge freezer instead….
