The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFSS/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker that combines a powerful five-burner gas hob with two large electric ovens and a separate grill. Finished in stainless steel, it is designed as a contemporary centrepiece for busy family kitchens.
Rangemaster is a trusted British name in range cookers, and this model leans firmly towards the premium end of the market, both in price and specification. With an A/A energy rating, generous oven capacities and a dedicated wok burner, it is clearly aimed at people who cook a lot and want reliable performance.
Backed by an impressive 4.7 out of 5 rating from more than 1,400 user reviews, it is a well-proven choice rather than a niche experiment, which adds confidence if you are investing in a long-term appliance.
This 90cm Rangemaster is ideal for medium to large households that cook from scratch most days and want the flexibility to handle roasts, bakes and midweek meals all at once. The main 79-litre multifunction oven plus a 67-litre fan oven give you the space to cater for big family gatherings and Christmas lunch without juggling trays.
It suits keen home cooks and enthusiastic bakers who will actually use the eight cooking functions in the main cavity, from conventional and fan settings to dedicated top and bottom elements. The separate electric grill, complete with glide-out tray and Handyrack in the main oven, makes life easier if you regularly grill sausages, finish off gratins or crisp up crackling.
Budget-wise, this is a premium range cooker rather than an entry-level buy. It is best suited to buyers planning a new kitchen or major upgrade who see the cooker as a long-term investment, rather than someone kitting out a rental on a tight budget.
It is also a strong option if you specifically want dual fuel: the responsiveness of gas on the hob with the even, predictable results of electric ovens. The dedicated wok burner and sturdy cast iron pan supports will appeal if you do a lot of stir-fries or high-heat cooking.
Dual fuel setup combines a five-burner gas hob with two electric ovens, giving you fast, controllable heat on the hob and reliable, even baking in the cavities.
Huge cooking capacity for a 90cm range: a 79-litre multifunction main oven and a 67-litre fan oven, plus a 25-litre dedicated grill, make it easy to cook multiple courses or big family roasts at once.
The main oven’s eight functions and A energy rating give you plenty of flexibility without wasting energy, and the second fan oven is perfect for batch baking with consistent results across shelves.
Catalytic liners in the main cavity help break down grease on the sides as you cook, while easy-clean enamel in the other cavities keeps maintenance relatively simple.
The gas hob features cast iron pan supports, a powerful wok burner (up to 4 kW) and automatic ignition, which together make everyday cooking feel sturdy, quick and reassuringly professional.
Thoughtful extras like the glide-out grill, Handyrack on the oven door and triple-glazed doors show the design has been refined with real kitchen use in mind.
A strong 4.7/5 rating from over 1,400 reviews suggests long-term owner satisfaction and reliability.
The price sits firmly in the premium bracket, so it will not suit tighter budgets, even though the feature set helps justify the cost.
Only the main oven gets catalytic liners; the second oven and grill use standard enamel, so they will still need a bit more elbow grease to keep spotless.
There are no interior lights in the second oven or grill cavity, which can make it harder to keep an eye on food without opening the door or pulling out the grill.
It needs both a hard-wired 32-amp electrical connection and installation by a Gas Safe engineer, adding to the overall cost and making it less straightforward if you are just swapping out a basic cooker.
There is no child lock or residual heat indicator on the hob, so households with young children will need to be particularly careful.
Day to day, the Professional Deluxe feels reassuringly solid. The rotary controls are straightforward and clearly laid out, and the LED programmable timer makes it easy to set start and finish times for slow roasts or when you want dinner ready as you get home.
The five-burner gas hob is well spaced for a 90cm cooker, with robust cast iron pan supports that give a stable base for heavy pans. The dedicated wok burner delivers intense heat, ideal for fast stir-fries or big stockpots, while the smaller burners handle simmering and sauces without fuss.
Inside, the main oven’s 79-litre capacity and included shelves mean you can cook multiple dishes at once. The Handyrack mounted on the door is particularly handy for roasts, letting you pull the joint out towards you safely to baste or check without having to reach into a hot cavity.
Cleaning is manageable rather than effortless. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main oven help keep splashes under control as they burn off at higher temperatures, and the rest of the cavities use smooth enamel that wipes down fairly easily if you stay on top of it. However, you will still need to give it a periodic deeper clean.
Because it is a substantial range, installation and positioning need thought. At 90cm wide and 61cm deep, it will dominate a standard cooker space and works best where it can be a focal point with good ventilation and a suitable cooker hood above.
Performance is where this Rangemaster earns its name. The main multifunction oven combines fan-assisted cooking with top and bottom elements, so you can choose the best mode for roasts, bakes or delicate dishes. With 79 litres to play with and an A energy rating, it handles anything from a single traybake to a full Sunday lunch.
The second 67-litre electric fan oven offers straightforward, even heat and is excellent for batch baking or cooking side dishes alongside a main course. With four shelves included, it makes full use of the height, which is particularly useful when entertaining.
The third cavity is a dedicated variable electric grill with a 25-litre capacity. The glide-out design means you can safely check and turn food without reaching into a hot space, and open-door grilling gives you precise control over browning and crisping.
On the hob, five gas burners spanning 1 to 4 kW cover everything from gentle simmering to high-heat searing. Automatic ignition and flame failure safety devices add convenience and peace of mind. The steel hob surface and cast iron pan supports feel robust and built to cope with heavy, regular use.
Convenience features are sensibly chosen rather than gimmicky. The electronic programmable timer, catalytic liners in the main cavity, triple-glazed doors to keep heat in, height-adjustable feet and LPG compatibility (with an additional kit) make it adaptable to different kitchens and fuels without overcomplicating the controls.
This model sits at the higher end of the price range for dual fuel range cookers, which means it is not a casual purchase. However, you are getting a lot for your money: three usable cavities, a powerful and well-designed gas hob, dual A-rated ovens and thoughtful extras like the Handyrack and glide-out grill.
The build quality, British manufacture and two-year warranty add to the sense that this is designed as a long-term fixture, not a stopgap appliance. For households that will make genuine use of the capacity and flexibility on offer, the cost is easier to justify than for an occasional cook.
The excellent user feedback – a 4.7/5 rating from a very large number of reviews – strongly suggests that most owners feel they have got good value and reliable performance over time. If your budget stretches to it and you want a cooker that can handle heavy, daily use, the overall value proposition is strong.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFSS/C is a superbly capable 90cm dual fuel range cooker aimed at serious home cooks and busy family kitchens. Its combination of two large electric ovens, a dedicated grill and a versatile five-burner gas hob gives you the tools to handle everything from quick midweek meals to big celebrations with confidence.
It is not the cheapest option, and you will need to factor in professional installation and a bit of ongoing cleaning, especially in the non-catalytic cavities. The lack of interior lights in the second oven and grill is also a minor frustration.
If you can live with those compromises and you are looking to invest in a premium, feature-rich range from a respected British brand, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice that should serve you well for many years.
