Hisense vs Leisure Cookers

Hisense and Leisure overlap at 60cm double ovens but diverge at the larger end. Hisense's comparison models run from the BID75211XUK built-under oven at £359 to the HDCEIT6C20B induction cooker with air fry at £651. Leisure's are the CLA60CEK and CLA60CEC 60cm Classic electric cookers at £529 each, plus the Cookmaster CK100D210K 100cm electric range at £1,299 and the Cuisinemaster CS100D510X 100cm range at £1,799.

Hisense's technology is about cooking modes: induction and air fry on the HDCEIT6C20B, pizza mode on the HDCEC6C20B, with catalytic liners across the range. Leisure's Classic double ovens offer an integrated electric grill and 35- and 56-litre oven capacities on the CLA60CEK, with catalytic liners and faster cooking on the CLA60CEC. The two Leisure 100cm ranges offer a much wider cooking surface than either Classic. The HDCEIT6C20B costs £122 more than either Leisure Classic at £529, but it adds induction and air fry.

Hisense suits families who want a modern double oven with induction or air frying, and the built-under models suit a fitted kitchen with a worktop cut-out. The HDCEC6C20B at £449 is £80 less than either Leisure Classic, so it is the cheaper route to a double oven with a ceramic hob. Leisure suits households who want a 60cm double oven with an integrated grill, or a 100cm range for a larger kitchen where that space justifies the price. The Leisure 100cm ranges cost £1,299 and £1,799, far above any Hisense model here.

Bottom line: choose Hisense if you want induction, air fry or a built-under double oven, with the HDCEC6C20B at £449 the cheapest cooker with a ceramic hob here; choose Leisure if you want a 100cm range such as the Cookmaster CK100D210K at £1,299, or a 60cm Classic double oven with an integrated grill at £529.
