New Leisure 90cm Ranges cooker
Leisure's popular 100cm range cookers will soon be joined by a pair of compact 90cm products, the CMTF94 (dual fuel) and the CMTG94 (gas). Following the format of rivals Rangemaster, Stoves and Belling, the new ranges have a separate grill/oven cavity, a multifunction main oven and a fanned, tall third oven. Easy clean liners are included in Leisure's usual high-value specification, along with telescopic shelves and metal knobs and handles. The new products, available to order from NOW (first deliveries due MID-AUGUST 2008), certainly look the part, too, and are a nice balance of the contemporary and the traditional, with an easy to read analogue clock/timer setting the tone. What we think: Leisure continues to be a strong brand for those with smaller budgets, offering as they do an impressive spec and well-considered design. The 90cm format is a very healthy one in the range cooker market, so the Turkish-based company is taking a bold step by introducing a new design emulating its more expensive UK competitors, but if the price is right they stand to do very well.
