message: A British acquaintance tells me he thinks some of the copy on this page appears to be from AGA advertising.  It might be worth a review. Dan ad nauseam 21:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Advertising 

message: This article appears to be an effort to praise rather than merely describe the Aga.
Consider the section on energy use.  I take it that these stoves are kept on all the time, thus use a lot of energy.  This article's description: "the two oven Aga [consumes] ... 425 kWh of natural gas [per week] ... To put this into perspective, the average domestic natural gas consumption in the UK is 386.75 kWh per week."  That compares the energy use of one appliance to the energy use of a whole household.  Not exactly fair. Chassimmons (talk) 03:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Aga Twyford are the ONLY worldwide renovators of Aga Cookers authorised and in a partnership with the main Aga company. Why is it therefore that they cannot insert a link on the Aga Wikipedi page to their website in order to compliment the main Aga site.
It seems ridiculous. The Wikipedia editor keeps trying to disallow the link. Why ? It is not for commerical reasons but merely to show that older models of the Aga are still available and are being preserved as part of the Aga history.Iannorman (talk) 19:12, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

message: As someone who has never heard of AGA cookers until today, I'd love to see a section in the article discussing the how the cooker works. A briefing on the technology and perhaps comparison to other types of cookers?  Thanks. Jdimpson (talk) 13:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I think the point of the OP is the article does a very poor job of actually explaining what an AGA cooker is and how it works which considering this is an article on the AGA cooker is a very poor sign. Nil Einne (talk) 01:21, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, the basic AGA cooker is a device which uses energy (natural gas, propane, kerosine/diesel oil or electricity)  24/7/365 to provide instant cooking functions: hob/burner and oven. How it does this is unclear. And why it needs to be consuming fuel (on) 24/7/365 is also unclear. The AGA isn't just a conventional cooker/range, but this needs to be explained. I'm not suggesting that the article become a technical handbook, but it needs to explain in layman's terms how it functions. It would improve the article to expand the how/why of an AGA.--TGC55 (talk) 13:01, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Took another pic from an AGA. Sadly you can't see the top plates much better than on that, what we have. If you like to exchange, feel free to do. -- Tasma3197 (talk) 10:11, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other picture 

message: I consider that the last two sections of the article " Exclusive Distributors" referring only to Gasum of Finland, and "Distributors" referring only to Spillers of Chard, Somerset to be advertising / promotion.
They have no place in an encyclopaedia, and do not add anything useful to the page.  If there is any merit in including such information - which I doubt - then it should be impartial and all distributors who can supply a new AGA should be listed.  However such a list of all AGA distributors, either UK based or worldwide would quickly swamp the page and be self defeating.
As such I am prepared to delete them, but will wait a while and see if anyone can defend their inclusion in this article. Helwith boy (talk) 19:26, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The third paragraph of the "History" section includes some unsourced assertions that I believe are original research: "Aga cookers can also make a contribution to space heating, although it is not true that they can heat an entire house, despite persistent claims to the contrary, presumably arising because the cookers look similar to the many types of central-heating range such as the 'Stanley' or the 'Rayburn' Range, also made by the AGA Rangemaster Group." Unless someone can come up with some independent research or citation to support this assertion (which would need to disprove my own original research of an entire childhood spent living in a house heated solely by an AGA!) I would propose to delete it. CharlesSpencer (talk) 12:09, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
