AEG covers almost the whole kitchen and utility room. The range includes built-in ovens, slot-in cookers, hobs, cooker hoods, refrigeration, dishwashers and laundry, along with smaller extras such as warming drawers and built-in wine coolers. Many models are grouped into numbered ranges such as the AEG 6000 Series and AEG 8000 Series. This makes it easier to compare a straightforward model with a better-equipped one. If you're planning a fitted kitchen, AEG built-in kitchen appliances brings the integrated models together.

For cooking, AEG ovens include electric single ovens, built-in and built-under double ovens, and combination microwaves. SurroundCook, listed on some ovens, circulates fan heat around the cavity so food cooks evenly on more than one shelf. Cleaning methods differ. Catalytic liners absorb grease as you cook, and some pyrolytic models heat the oven high enough to turn residue to ash. Hobs come in gas, ceramic, induction and dual fuel, with widths including 60 cm and 90 cm, plus a gas domino and a venting hob. On some hobs, the Hob2Hood function links wirelessly to a compatible AEG hood so the fan responds as you cook. Hood styles include chimney, canopy, angled, telescopic, integrated and island, and many can either vent outside or recirculate through charcoal filters. Slot-in cookers come with ceramic, induction, gas or dual fuel cooking.

AEG refrigeration is mostly integrated: fridge freezers, larder fridges and upright freezers. Frost-free models don't need manual defrosting, while Low Frost models reduce ice build-up so you defrost less often. AEG dishwashers come as 45 cm slimline or 60 cm full-size models, either fully integrated or freestanding. AEG washing and drying covers washing machines, washer dryers in freestanding and integrated versions, and heat pump tumble dryers. Heat pump dryers cost more to buy than conventional dryers but less to run.

To narrow the choice, first decide whether each appliance will be built in or freestanding, and measure the space, for example a 45 cm or 60 cm gap for a dishwasher. Then compare the features you'll use every day: pyrolytic or catalytic oven cleaning, Hob2Hood if you're buying a hob and hood together, and frost-free or Low Frost for refrigeration.
