AEG (part of the Electrolux Group)
General AEG Information
AEG is (since 1994) yet another member of the huge Electrolux family of appliance makers. Generally, it is pitched to the upper-mid sector of the appliance market. As with many other
nominally Germany-based makers AEG is steadily moving production away--usually to developing nations--owing to labor costs. Apparently much of AEG products' "guts" share much with those of
their sister Electrolux lines (see the Makers of this site).
As with many appliance makers, AEG sells in many countries, and the units they sell vary somewhat from nation to nation, both as to total number offered and as to exact variations of
basically similar models. We took our listings here from the AEG U.K. web site. The German site, presumably the fullest listing, shows 32 different models, though it is clear that many of
those are only trim variations: they appear to have perhaps 7 distinct classes of model there. The U.K. listings here seem to constitute one representative of each model class except the
rather new modular Teppan cooker. But the U.K. listings also have a model not on the
German site (the 98001-line unit), which is wider, at 88 centimeters, than any German-site model. Three models, noted in the German-site list, and now including one of the so-called "zoneless" types, are also available in North America through a single distributor in Canada.
The various suffixes after the base model number presumaby indicate trim variations, such as stainless-steel rimmed versus frameless, but we won't venture to say here exactly what is
what, lest we be in error. But you can click the links and see for yourself which is what. In the longer German-site list, we have indicated with rule lines the blocks the display is
broken up into on that site; presumably those blocks signify units essentially the same "under the hood" (but that's presumably).
Especially notable are AEG's "cook-anywhere" models (a feature they call "MaxiSense"): the pan can be placed anywhere on the surface of those units, which thus do not have "elements" or "zones" in the traditional sense. This, we believe, is definitely the future of induction cooking, and not every maker has it yet, by any means.
The company name, by the way, goes back to 1887, when the company was the Allgemeine Electricitäts Gesellschaft (General Electrical Company).
As always in these listings, we give these standard general--

Important notes on these data:
We have spent a lot of time hunting these data--often in several places for each individual unit--but we cannot and do not guarantee any datum to be correct
(indeed, we often found conflicting data at different sources). Caveat emptor! For those units we offer for sale, the prices shown are never over an hour old. For other items, the prices shown are the lowest we found with moderate but not fanatic
searching; moreover, they are not updated very often and are only intended as a rough guide to comparative unit values in cost/power terms. Most "Features" are not terribly important, and are nearly standard among roughly similar units, regardless of brand name. If some "feature"--shown or omitted--is especially
important to you, check on it, because we did not take great pains over the "Features" data. Dimensions given here are, as the makers themselves warn, only to be used as guidelines in planning--never do anything (such as cutting a countertop) till you have your
actual unit to hand. A very important unit datum is the "MaxPower" value. Many units show individual-element powers that add up to impressive totals that the unit cannot really supply.
That is not a defect or some form of cheating: it is "power sharing", a clever and
useful feature; but, unless the maker is unusually open about data, one can easily be misled into believeing that the unit as a whole is more powerful than it is. Your dollars are buying
cooking power, and you need to be well aware of just what you are paying for in actual cost/power terms for the unit as a whole. Similar to power sharing (though less flexible) is the "power boost" feature many
units have on some or all of their elements. (That feature allows a "boosted" element to temporarily, for some short period--rarely specified, but typically 10 minutes or so--run at some
set level well over its nominal power, to help with tasks like getting large pots of water to boiling.) As with true power sharing, if one is not careful, one can get an incorrect
impression of the true total power capability of the unit as a whole, which, as we just said, is basically what your dollars are buying.
