The Leisure Classic CLB60ECC is a 60cm electric cooker with a ceramic hob, traditional cream finish and a focus on straightforward cooking. With a roomy 75-litre fan main oven and a smaller top oven with grill, it’s designed to handle everything from midweek dinners to Sunday roasts.
Leisure is well known for its range-style cookers, and this model brings some of that classic look to a standard 60cm slot. At this price it sits in the mid-range for electric cookers, offering more capacity than many basic models without straying into true premium territory.
Owners rate it highly, with an average score of 4.6 out of 5 from a solid number of reviews, which suggests that in real kitchens it’s proving reliable, easy to use and capable of consistently good results.
This cooker is a strong fit for medium to larger households that cook regularly. The generous 75-litre fan main oven gives you space for big trays, multiple shelves of baking or a full roast with trimmings, while the additional top oven/grill adds flexibility when you’re cooking for a crowd.
If you like the look of traditional range cookers but only have space for a standard 60cm slot, the cream finish and simple rotary dials will appeal. It’s also well suited to anyone who prefers straightforward, manual controls rather than touchscreens and complex programmes.
Budget-wise, this is a mid-range option. It’s not the cheapest electric cooker you can buy, but you are getting dual cavities, a ceramic hob and a strong energy rating of A/A, which should help keep running costs sensible.
It’s ideal as a first proper family cooker, a replacement in a busy home or for anyone upgrading from an older single cavity model and wanting more space and flexibility without having to learn lots of new tech.
The standout plus is capacity. A 75-litre fan main oven is larger than many standard cookers, making it very practical for families and those who batch cook. True fan cooking helps distribute heat evenly, so trays of roast potatoes or batches of biscuits are more likely to cook consistently across the shelf.
The inclusion of a second cavity – a 38-litre conventional oven with integrated grill – adds real day-to-day versatility. You can grill bacon while the main oven handles baked potatoes, or keep dishes warm above while you finish off something else below.
The 4-zone ceramic hob offers a smooth, easy-to-wipe surface with a sensible spread of power (1.6 to 2.0kW zones). Residual heat indicators are a useful safety touch, showing when the zones are still hot to the touch.
Cleaning is helped by the enamel interior, which is smoother than bare metal and makes it easier to wipe away grease and spills once the oven has cooled.
Simple rotary controls and an LED clock/timer keep operation intuitive. Combined with the strong user rating and a 2-year manufacturer warranty, it feels like a reliable, no-nonsense choice.
Although the enamel interior is easier to clean than raw metal, it’s not as low-maintenance as catalytic or pyrolytic self-cleaning liners you’ll find on some higher-end models. You’ll still need to put in some elbow grease for deep cleans.
The ceramic hob is quick to wipe but can mark and scratch if pans are dragged, and it doesn’t offer the instant response or efficiency of induction. If you’re used to gas or induction’s very precise heat control, the ceramic zones may feel a touch slower and less responsive.
There are only two shelf positions listed for the main cavity, which is on the basic side for such a large oven and may limit how many dishes you can cook at once. Also, the spec suggests some duplication and a slightly bare-bones feature set – there are no advanced cooking programmes or smart features here.
Finally, it requires hard wiring to a 32-amp supply by an electrician. That’s completely normal for a cooker of this power, but worth factoring into the overall cost if you’re replacing a different type of appliance.
Day to day, the CLB60ECC is designed to be as fuss-free as possible. The front-mounted rotary dials are clearly laid out, so setting oven temperature or hob zones is quick and intuitive. The LED clock and electronic timer are useful for timing bakes and roasts without needing a separate kitchen timer.
The fan main oven gets up to temperature relatively quickly and, thanks to true fan cooking, does a good job of keeping heat consistent throughout the cavity. That makes it easier to trust timings in recipes and reduces the need to shuffle trays around as often.
Having two separate cavities immediately makes busy mealtimes easier. You can use the top oven as a grill for crisping cheese on a pasta bake, or as a smaller, more economical space for cooking a single pizza or tray of chips without heating the big 75-litre cavity.
Cleaning is straightforward if you stay on top of it. The enamel interior and triple-glazed door surfaces respond well to a wipe down with warm soapy water once cool, though baked-on spills will still need a proper cleaner. The smooth ceramic hob is quick to wipe, but you’ll want to avoid abrasive pads to keep it looking its best.
Residual heat indicators on the hob help you judge when it’s safe to wipe the glass and when you can still use leftover warmth to keep pans hot or gently melt chocolate without turning the zone back on.
Performance-wise, the main cavity’s 75-litre capacity combined with fan cooking is the real strength here. Fan ovens circulate hot air more evenly than simple static ovens, so you’re less likely to see undercooked edges or hotspots. It’s particularly helpful for batch baking, roasting multiple trays of veg, or cooking on more than one shelf.
The second cavity is a 38-litre conventional oven with an integrated grill. Conventional heat is ideal for dishes that benefit from a more traditional top-to-bottom heat gradient, such as pastries or slow-cooked casseroles, and the grill is handy for finishing off toppings, grilling sausages or making quick toast.
On the hob, four ceramic zones covering 1.6 to 2.0kW give enough punch for boiling pans of pasta, simmering sauces or searing smaller cuts of meat. While ceramic doesn’t match induction for speed, these power levels are more than adequate for most everyday cooking. The burner power range and residual heat indicators also help you manage energy use a bit more consciously.
Feature-wise, this is very much a practical, straightforward cooker rather than a bells-and-whistles machine. You get a built-in LED display, electronic clock, interior light in the oven and a defrost function, which uses gentle heat to thaw food more safely than leaving it on the worktop. There’s also triple-glazed glass in the doors to help keep the heat in and the front cooler to the touch.
Energy ratings of A for both cavities (A/A overall) are reassuring in a family appliance that may be used daily. While not ultra-premium or packed with smart tech, the CLB60ECC focuses on the essentials: good capacity, reliable heat and a sensible set of core functions.
At its current price, the Leisure Classic CLB60ECC sits comfortably in the mid-range for 60cm electric cookers. You’re paying a bit more than for a very basic single-oven model, but in return you get a large-capacity fan oven, a genuinely useful second oven with grill and a tidy ceramic hob.
The A/A energy rating supports reasonable running costs for a family home, and the 2-year manufacturer warranty offers more peace of mind than the bare minimum one-year cover often seen at the budget end of the market.
The feature set is relatively simple – no induction hob, telescopic shelves or self-cleaning liners – so the value story here is about space, practicality and solid performance rather than cutting-edge technology. Given the strong user rating of 4.6 out of 5, most owners seem to feel they’ve got their money’s worth.
If you want maximum capacity and dual ovens from a trusted cooking brand without stepping up to a full range cooker price, this model represents good value overall.
The Leisure Classic CLB60ECC is a very capable all-rounder for households that cook regularly and need plenty of oven space in a standard 60cm slot. Its combination of a large 75-litre fan main oven, a separate top oven with grill and a simple ceramic hob gives you everything you need for family meals, weekend baking and bigger occasions.
It’s not the most feature-packed cooker on the market, and those looking for induction, smart functions or self-cleaning tech will want to look higher up the range. But its straightforward controls, strong energy rating and easy-to-live-with design make it a dependable choice.
If you like classic styling, value usable capacity over fancy extras and are happy with a ceramic hob, this Leisure cooker is a very sound buy. Those chasing cutting-edge features or ultra-low maintenance cleaning may wish to spend more elsewhere, but for most family kitchens it strikes a sensible balance of performance, practicality and price.
