Indesit vs Leisure Cookers

Indesit and Leisure are separated by price more than by range. Indesit's ID5V92KMW/UK at £309 is a 63-litre cooker with four ceramic zones, the ID67V9KMBUK at £399 has a 72-litre main oven and a 46-litre top oven, and the ID67V9KMW/UK at £429 offers 49-litre and 77-litre cavities. Leisure starts with the CLA60CEK at £529, a Classic electric cooker with a double oven, an integrated electric grill and 35-litre and 56-litre cavities, and the CLA60CEC at the same price, with two ovens and catalytic liners. The 100cm CK100D210K Cookmaster costs £1,299, and the CS100D510X Cuisinemaster costs £1,799.

Indesit's features centre on steam cleaning, which appears on the ID67V9KMBUK, ID67V9KMW/UK and IT60V9KMBUK, and the IT60V9KMBUK also offers hydrolytic cleaning. The ID67V9KMW/UK adds an anti-stick tray, and the ID5V92KMW/UK has easy-clean enamel and a 33-litre grill cavity. Leisure's Classic models use ceramic hobs and double ovens, with the CLA60CEK's integrated grill as its distinguishing feature, and the CLA60CEC relies on catalytic liners for oven cleaning. The 100cm Cookmaster and Cuisinemaster ranges are a step up in size from every Indesit model here.

Indesit suits buyers who want steam cleaning and generous oven capacity at a low price, such as the 72-litre main cavity of the ID67V9KMBUK. Leisure suits people who want a Classic double oven with an integrated grill at a mid-range price, or a 100cm range cooker for a larger kitchen. Both brands sell 60cm models, so check the space, and the Leisure range cookers need a wider gap. Electric models use a standard 13-amp supply, so check the socket before buying.

Bottom line: choose Indesit if budget is the priority, with the ID5V92KMW/UK at £309 or the ID67V9KMBUK at £399 for steam cleaning and a 72-litre main oven; choose Leisure if you want a Classic double oven with an integrated grill at £529 with the CLA60CEK, or a 100cm range cooker from £1,299 with the CK100D210K.
