AEG single ovens are all electric, built-in multifunction ovens with fan-assisted cooking and a grill. Gross capacities run from 65 to 72 litres. Some are simple ovens with rotary dials. Others are internet-connected models with steam, a cooking probe and touch controls. Because every oven here is electric, the AEG electric single ovens page shows the same selection.

How the oven is cleaned is one of the clearest differences. Catalytic models have liners that absorb grease as you cook. Aqua Clean models use a water-based cleaning method. Pyrolytic models heat the cavity to a very high temperature and turn residue to ash that you wipe away. Pyrolytic ovens usually cost more to buy, but they take the least scrubbing.

Steam is the next thing to decide on. SteamBake ovens add steam at the start of baking, which keeps the surface of the dough moist so bread and pastry rise and colour well. SteamCrisp models add a smaller amount of steam alongside normal oven heat, so roasts and bread crisp on the outside and stay succulent inside. Some 6000 Series ovens have an AirFry function for crisp results without a separate air fryer. The SenseCook ovens and several others come with a cooking probe that reads the temperature at the centre of a joint, so you don't have to guess whether it's done. A Pizza Expert model is aimed at people who make pizza at home.

Most doors drop down. Some 6000 Series ovens open to the left or right, which helps when the oven is built in at eye level. Finishes include stainless steel, black, gloss black and matt black with Infinity steel trims. Energy ratings run from A to A++. To narrow the choice, decide on a cleaning method first, then whether you want steam or a probe, then check which way the door opens.
