    [FONT=&quot]Hello[FONT=&quot] any AGA City 60 owners,[/FONT]
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Having lived in a large, coolish Scottish country house for 40 years, where a daffodil yellow, temperamental, oil-fired Aga was an essential member of the household, we have retired to a town house with a dreary, cheerless and cramped kitchen - and how I miss my old Aga friend! [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]I have looked at the City 60 in the Aga showroom & even attended a cooking demonstration. Its neat size and ease of putting it to sleep appeals and I’m sure I could get used to the different hotplate technique. However, one of the great attributes of an Aga is its warm, comforting presence in the kitchen. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]So I would like to ask, if the weather is really chilly, do you sometimes leave one of the ovens or the top-plate on all day to keep everything cosy? [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Do you also have an alternative cooker or hotplate?[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]A couple of posters in 2015 (Faustina and Bjorn N)[/FONT] sounded quite happy with their relatively new Aga City 60's. I would be grateful to know if this is still the case. Do you still have it? !![/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Many thanks for any comments[FONT=&quot], as though [FONT=&quot]it has[/FONT] been on the market now for a couple of years, there still [FONT=&quot]seems to be virtually no independent feedback on it.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

    We have the larger dual fuel version with three ovens and a separate grill (four doors), so no need for an alternative cooker. No, we don't leave the ovens on intentionally. However, I have considered it once or twice. It won't cost any more than other electric heaters to run.

    I have to agree that a cold AGA doesn't seem right.
