Brand History

For over 140 years, Leisure have been the heart of many homes, creating range cookers to help families keep up with the demand of modern living. The Leisure brand has a history rooted in innovation, with their introduction of the first-ever range cooker back in 1883. 

Until 2002, the Leisure brand was a part of the AGA Rangemaster Group and aligned with Rangemaster products when the brand was sold to Beko. Since joining the Beko Plc family, Leisure range cookers are now manufactured in Turkey and have continued to reach new heights of innovation and offer a diverse range of cookers. 

Attention to detail is coupled with the benefits of modern manufacturing techniques, with their state-of-the-art production facility meeting exacting standards of quality control. Their commitment to quality and innovation has helped them to become one of the largest and leading range cooker brands within the UK.

 

Why choose a Leisure range cooker?

According to Leisure themselves, "we believe that cooking on a Leisure range cooker is the most efficient, stylish and enjoyable way to prepare meals for your family or a dinner party for friends."

Leisure range cookers offer their owners the freedom to cook what they want and how they want it, for as many people as they wish to cook it for. A great value for money option, the Leisure range begins at a very reasonable price of £995 for a 90cm model and rises up to just £1,475 for a 100cm induction model.

Every Leisure range cooker has at least two large ovens and a generously sized hob, providing you with the versaility of smaller meals or cooking for larger groups.
