Range cooker recommendations/advice please

We are planning a new kitchen and after suffering with second hand cookers for years have decided to treat ourselves to a new range cooker :T any advice or experience on brands to buy or avoid would be greatly appreciated as we've not bought a new cooker for years so don't really know what to go for. I think I want either a gas hob with electric oven or induction hob and electric oven? any opnions on which is best? My mum has a Leisure cooker but its been awful and their customer service even worse (she got laughed at by them and told they now outsource to China :( when she complained when hers broke)

Anyway any advice on range cookers much appreciated :)

  • I need advice on this too!
  • Personally I have a Rangemaster Dual Fuel (Part of the Aga group) Got it in the New Year Sales for a bargain.... if not in a rush try to hold out till then

    I think it great... never have or have had any issue with it

    I've just bought a Belling dual fuel range cooker. Mid to low range in terms of price, but I bought it after reading a number of positive reviews. No complaints so far.

    Plus one, mines induction.

    If the op is anywhere near Leamington Spa they have a trade shop on Saturdays.

    useful WAS looking at a new Leisure cooker in Currys today.
  • I'd definitely go for an induction hob - much easier to clean and more energy efficient. Life is too short to clean gas hobs.

    We have just ordered a Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 90 cm. Unless you have a very big kitchen, don't be tempted to get anything bigger.
