    Rangemaster don't make for anyone else (well, apart from the sister brands such as Leisure)

    You say Leisure is a sister brand? Their cookers are far cheaper tho (and seem to be related to cookmaster??)... e.g.
    http://www.homegoodsrangecookers.co.uk/leisure-cookmaster-cm101frcp-100cm-gas-range-cooker-cream.php

    Would there be much difference between these then?

    Ooops, sorry, should have been more specific. Lesiure used to be part of the AGA group, but the appliance part got sold off a few years ago. When they were both owned by AGA, the Leisure appliances were made in the same factory as Rangemaster...

    It's just the sinks that are shared now :D
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Oh and Cookmaster isn't a brand anymore, Leisure and Rayburn both make "Cookmaster" named products, which again goes back to their previous company tie-ins...

    We've had a Rangemaster cooker (gas hob, electric ovens) for several years. OH loves it and wouldn't have anything else. One of the igniters had a fault when it was delivered and they sent a man out to replace it right away. No other problems since.
    Also bought a matching extractor hood from Rangemaster a few years ago. Lost the manual and wanted to know the best way to clean the filrers so emailed them. Immediate reply saying to put them in the dishwasher and with a PDF of the manual attached.
    Worth the litle extra for quality and service like that!
