AEG vs Beko Built-in Ovens

AEG and Beko both build ovens for UK kitchens, with AEG's range sitting higher. The AEG models here run from the DUB331110M built-under double oven at £479 to the TE7PB731AB 71-litre pyrolytic smart oven at £999, with the DCS531160M catalytic double oven at £649 and the CCX6540ACW 116-litre double oven at £549 in between. Beko covers £229 to £439, from the BBAIF22300X 71-litre single oven at £229 to the BBTF26300X built-under double oven at £439, with the BBADF22300X 105-litre built-in double oven at £399 and the Split and Cook 80-litre model at £369 in between.

AEG's distinguishing features are pyrolytic self-cleaning and the MealAssist app on the TE7PB731AB, with a SoftMotion Isofront Plus door. Catalytic liners appear on the DCS531160M and the CCX6540ACW, and the DCS531160M also offers turbo grilling. Beko's models focus on value. The Split and Cook has catalytic liners and multiple functions, the BBTF26300X offers a fan main oven and triple glazed door, and the AeroPerfect single oven includes a grease proof coating and a turn-off food ready alert. Beko ovens are rated A+ for energy use on most models.

AEG suits households that cook often and want a smart or pyrolytic oven, or a large double oven for entertaining. The 116-litre CCX6540ACW gives plenty of capacity for family cooking. Beko suits buyers who want a built-in double oven without paying for app control, such as the BBADF22300X with 69 litres in the main oven and 36 litres in the second, which fits a standard UK budget.

Bottom line: choose AEG if you want pyrolytic cleaning, app control or a large double oven and can spend from £479, choose Beko if you need a built-in double oven for under £440 with straightforward controls.
