Aga's.........work all that money?

[Four Cofffee]

We have got through 3 cookers in 8 years, one I cracked the hob on and one the glass fell out of the door and the replacement cost was more than a new cooker. Our current one has been in about 3 years and is looking tatty already ( numbers rubbing off the controls, ignition button broken).

I have always like the look of the Aga but OMG have you seen the price? Even second hand a good 4 one is over £3K.

So thoe of you with Aga experience, are they worth the cost?
