Mercury Range Cookers

Mercury pride themselves on the design and manufacture of high end domestic range cookers, providing the highest levels of customer care to their discerning clients.

Appliance Manufacturer & Brand Information

Mercury range cookers was a part of the commercial manufacturer Lincat until, in 2009, the Mercury division that made high end desgner range cookers sold the domestic appliance division to AGA Rangemaster.

Since the company was taken over by AGA we have noticed that the Thermastone cooker has vanished and that there have been several changes made to the original Mercury cooker. Whether this is better or worse is not yet known. The range has also been expanded.

The general look of the original Mercury range cooker has been retained with the "Hi-Fi_ style control knobs and handles as well as general aesthetic but, behind that there appear to have been many changes which have left us rather disappointed. Gone is the full width storage drawer at the bottom, gone are the "cattle grid burner stands and the chasis appears to be no more than a normal Rangemaster one. We expect that all these changes have been made to save on production costs but, it's just not the same and we can't help but feel that the price now seems a bit high for what looks to be, basically, a funked up Rangemaster.

Don't get us wrong, the Rangemaster cookers are really good and we highly recommend them but, they aren't a Lincat made Mercury which was a range cooker that was bordering on performance reserved for restaurants given the Lincat heritage.
