If you want the drama of a range cooker without overwhelming your kitchen, a 90cm electric model with induction hob can be a sweet spot. The Rangemaster Toledo + TOLP90EISL/C 90cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob in Slate is a good example: compact for a range, but still kitted out for serious cooking. In this guide we will look at what living with a 90cm induction range is really like, how the Toledo+ sits in that space, and how it compares with other popular 90cm induction ranges in the same family.
Why choose a 90cm electric range cooker with induction?
A 90cm range cooker is designed to give you the multi-oven versatility and wide hob of a traditional range, but in a footprint that fits most standard UK kitchens. Electric models with induction hobs in particular appeal to households that want modern control, easy cleaning and efficient performance.
The Rangemaster Toledo + TOLP90EISL/C ticks those boxes. It pairs electric ovens with an induction hob, wrapped in a contemporary slate and graphite finish that suits modern and shaker-style kitchens alike. If you are weighing up whether this style of cooker is right for you, it helps to understand how it changes everyday cooking.
Living with the Rangemaster Toledo+ in a real kitchen
The idea of a range often conjures images of sprawling country kitchens, but the Toledo+ is deliberately more compact. At 90cm wide, it is only slightly wider than a standard freestanding cooker, yet it usually offers multiple oven cavities and an induction hob with space for several pans.
For everyday meals, that means you can have one oven running for a traybake while a second cavity handles something more delicate, like a meringue or a slow roast. On top, the induction zones give you instant control for boiling, simmering and searing.

Induction hob benefits: day-to-day advantages
If you are moving from gas or a traditional electric hob, induction will feel like a noticeable upgrade. The hob on the Toledo+ uses magnetic technology to heat the pan directly, so you waste far less heat around the sides. Pans come to the boil quickly, and dropping from a rolling boil to a gentle simmer is almost instant.
In practice, that means pasta on in minutes, sauces less likely to catch, and more confidence with tasks like melting chocolate or making custard. It is also easier to keep clean: because the glass around the pan does not get as hot as on a ceramic hob, spills are less likely to burn on. Once things have cooled, a quick wipe is often all that is needed.
If you are curious how this compares to other 90cm induction ranges, the Professional+ series from the same brand is worth investigating. The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90EICR/C 90cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob in Cream offers a similar induction experience but in a slightly different design package and colour palette.
Capacity and layout: making the most of your ovens
One of the main reasons to consider a range is oven flexibility. While exact capacities vary, a 90cm range like the Toledo+ will typically give you at least two usable oven spaces and often a separate grill. This lets you roast meat in one cavity while using the other for crispy potatoes or vegetables, without flavours transferring or timings clashing.
For batch cooking, this split layout is particularly handy. You can dedicate one oven to baking – think cakes, biscuits and breads – while the other handles savoury dishes. On busy weekends or when entertaining, it can transform how relaxed the cooking feels.
If you know you will be regularly cooking multiple courses at once, it is also worth comparing models with similar layouts. The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90EIGB/C 90cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob in Black sticks with the 90cm footprint but offers a more industrial, professional aesthetic, while keeping that multi-oven flexibility.
Design and colour: fitting a range into your kitchen style
The slate and graphite finish on the Rangemaster Toledo+ TOLP90EISL/C is aimed squarely at modern British kitchens. It is less stark than stainless steel but still neutral enough to work with white, grey, navy and even wood-toned cabinetry. The darker finish tends to hide minor marks and fingerprints better than high-gloss black or very pale colours.
If your kitchen leans more classic or you want the cooker to stand out as a centrepiece, the Professional+ alternatives show how colour can change the feel without changing size:
- Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90EICY/C 90cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob in Cranberry – a bold, warm red that works beautifully in country or heritage-style kitchens.
- Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90EISS/C 90cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob in Stainless Steel – a timeless, professional look that pairs well with modern appliances and brushed metal handles.
Choosing between slate, cream, cranberry, black or stainless is not just about colour – it is about how prominent you want the cooker to be. In a smaller kitchen, the more understated slate of the Toledo+ can help the space feel calmer, whereas a cranberry or cream range can become a deliberate focal point.
Energy use and efficiency: what to expect
The Toledo+ is A/A rated, so both ovens are designed with energy efficiency in mind. For day-to-day cooking, that usually translates to good insulation, doors that keep heat in, and elements that reach temperature without dragging their heels. Combined with the efficiency of induction on the hob, it is a sensible choice if you are conscious of running costs.
There are simple habits that will help you make the most of those ratings:
- Use the right-sized pan for each induction zone so you are not heating empty glass.
- Where possible, cook multiple dishes in one oven rather than heating both.
- Avoid opening the oven door too often; use the light and window to check progress.
- Turn the hob down a touch earlier – residual heat on induction is less, but still useful for gentle finishing.
If you are upgrading from a much older cooker, you will likely notice both faster heat-up times and better temperature stability. For more detail on day-to-day performance, you can dive into our in-depth review of the Rangemaster Toledo + TOLP90EISL/C 90cm Electric Range Cooker.
Planning your kitchen around a 90cm range
Before you commit to any 90cm range cooker, there are a few practicalities to check beyond simply measuring the gap. First, ensure you have enough clearance on either side and that nearby cupboards and drawers can open freely without clashing with the cooker handles or doors. Consider what will be above it too – an appropriate cooker hood or extractor is essential to deal with steam and odours.
Because the Toledo+ is an electric range, you will also need to confirm that your electrical supply is up to the job. These cookers usually require a dedicated, high-amp circuit installed by a professional. It is wise to factor installation cost and any necessary electrical work into your overall budget.
Induction cooking tips for everyday success
Switching to induction is straightforward, but a few habits will help you get the best from it:
- Check your pans: If a magnet sticks to the base, it should work. Heavier-bottomed pans often give more even results.
- Match zone and pan size: Using a pan that covers most of the cooking zone improves efficiency and heat distribution.
- Use the power intelligently: High settings are great for boiling water quickly, but once you are at temperature, dial back to avoid spills.
- Lift, do not drag: To keep the hob surface looking good, lift pans rather than sliding heavy cookware across the glass.
The Toledo+ and the Professional+ induction models all benefit from these same practices, so the learning curve is similar whichever 90cm range from this group you choose.
Comparing the Toledo+ with Professional+ alternatives
If you have narrowed your search to a 90cm induction range from the same family, the decision often comes down to styling, finish and minor layout or control differences. The Toledo+ in slate has a slightly softer, contemporary look, while the Professional+ models are more angular and “cheffy”.
All sit in a similar price band, so the choice is less about budget and more about which one you want to see every day in your kitchen. Here is how the main alternatives line up conceptually:
- Professional Plus PROP90EICR/C in Cream – great if you want a warm, classic feel without going full country cottage.
- Professional Plus PROP90EICY/C in Cranberry – a statement piece that works as a colour anchor in neutral kitchens.
- Professional Plus PROP90EIGB/C in Black – a sleek, versatile option that pairs easily with dark worktops and appliances.
- Professional Plus PROP90EISS/C in Stainless Steel – ideal if you love the look of commercial kitchens and stainless appliances.
Functionally, they all deliver on the promise of a 90cm electric range with induction hob; the differences are mostly about the look and feel. For many households, the Toledo+ wins on its more understated, versatile slate finish, particularly in open-plan spaces where you do not want the cooker to dominate the room.
Cleaning and care: keeping your range in good condition
Ranges work hard, so a simple routine goes a long way. With the Toledo+, start by wiping the induction hob after each use once it is cool, using a soft cloth and a cleaner designed for glass hobs. This keeps the surface clear and reduces the risk of stubborn marks building up, especially around frequently used zones.
Inside the ovens, try to tackle spills promptly. Using roasting tins for joints and lining trays for bakes will reduce burnt-on grease. A periodic deeper clean – including shelves, side rails and door glass – will keep everything looking sharp. The same principles apply across the Professional+ alternatives, so whatever 90cm range you choose, building these habits early will keep it looking good for longer.
Is the Rangemaster Toledo+ right for you?
If you want a 90cm induction range that balances capacity, efficiency and understated style, the Rangemaster Toledo + TOLP90EISL/C in slate is a strong candidate. Its combination of multi-oven versatility, responsive induction hob and neutral finish makes it well suited to busy family kitchens and keen cooks alike. Those who prefer a bolder or more professional look can lean towards the cream, cranberry, black or stainless Professional+ alternatives instead.
