The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFSL/C is a 100cm wide dual fuel range cooker that aims squarely at keen home cooks and busy households. With two large electric ovens, a separate grill and a 5-burner gas hob, it’s built to handle everything from Sunday roasts to batch baking.
Rangemaster is a go-to name for range cookers in the UK, and this model feels very much in that premium, semi-professional space. The slate finish and contemporary styling are designed to be a focal point in a modern kitchen rather than just a functional appliance.
It carries a strong 4.7 out of 5 rating from more than 700 owners, which suggests that, while it isn’t a budget purchase, most people feel they’ve got exactly the performance and capacity they were hoping for.
This Rangemaster is ideal for families and enthusiastic home cooks who use their oven and hob a lot. The combination of a 79-litre multifunction main oven, an 82-litre fan oven and a dedicated grill means you can cook several dishes at once without juggling trays or compromising on results.
It suits medium to large kitchens where a 100cm appliance can be accommodated comfortably. If you regularly host big gatherings, batch cook or like to cook a main and sides simultaneously, the generous capacity and three separate cavities will make a noticeable difference.
With dual fuel – gas on top, electric ovens below – it’s perfect for anyone who loves the responsiveness of gas burners but wants the precision and even heat of electric ovens for baking and roasting.
The price and feature set place it firmly in the premium bracket rather than an entry-level cooker. It’s best suited to buyers who see their cooker as a long-term investment and will actually make use of the extra capacity and features, rather than occasional, light use.
The dual fuel setup is a real strength: a 5-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports and a powerful wok burner gives you quick, controllable heat for everything from stir-fries to gentle simmering.
Two large electric ovens – a 79-litre multifunction main cavity and an 82-litre fan oven – offer serious cooking space. You can roast in one, bake in the other and still have room to keep sides warm.
The dedicated glide-out variable electric grill in the third cavity is safer and more convenient than a traditional grill pan; you can pull it towards you to check food without reaching into a hot space.
Catalytic liners in the main oven help break down grease as you cook, cutting down on deep cleaning sessions. Easy-clean enamel in the other cavities also makes wipe-downs more straightforward.
Practical touches such as the Handyrack on the door, telescopic shelf runners and a programmable electronic timer make day-to-day cooking more manageable and less fiddly.
Strong owner feedback, with a 4.7/5 rating over hundreds of reviews, backs up the impression that this is a well-thought-out, reliable piece of kit.
As a 100cm dual fuel range from a premium brand, this model will sit at the higher end of most cooker budgets, so it’s not the right choice if you simply want the cheapest way to get an oven and hob.
Only the main oven benefits from catalytic liners; the second oven and grill rely on enamel interiors, so they will still need more hands-on cleaning, especially if you use the grill frequently.
The second oven lacks an interior light, which can make it harder to check on cakes or bakes without opening the door and losing heat.
There is no child lock on the control panel and no residual heat indicators on the hob surface, so households with very young children will need to be extra cautious.
Installation is not plug-and-play: it requires hard wiring by an electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, adding time and cost if you don’t already have suitable services in place.
Living with the Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFSL/C feels very much like using a piece of semi-professional kit that’s been adapted for the home. The front-mounted rotary controls are clearly laid out and pair with an LED clock and minute minder, so setting times and temperatures is straightforward once you’re familiar with the layout.
The gas hob ignites automatically, and the flame failure devices cut the gas if the flame goes out, which is reassuring when cooking multiple pans at once. Cast iron pan supports give a sturdy platform for heavier cookware and glide smoothly if you need to slide pans across burners.
Inside the main oven, telescopic shelf runners make it easier and safer to pull hot trays out to baste or check food. The Handyrack, which mounts a roasting tin on the oven door, is a small but very practical touch for roasts – you can access your joint of meat without fully reaching into the cavity.
Cleaning is less of a chore than on many traditional cookers. The catalytic liners in the main cavity help to absorb and burn off grease during normal cooking, so baked-on splashes tend to loosen more easily. The smooth enamel in the other cavities still needs a wipe, but there are no awkward self-clean settings to manage.
The 100cm width does mean it dominates a run of units, but the slate finish and contemporary styling help it look like a deliberate design choice rather than just a large appliance. Once installed, everything feels solid and reassuringly built for regular use.
Performance is where this Rangemaster earns its keep. The main 79-litre multifunction oven offers eight cooking functions, giving you the flexibility to tailor heat to what you’re cooking. Fan, conventional-style options and defrost are all available, so you can move from slow roasts to crisping up potatoes without compromise.
Alongside it, the 82-litre second cavity is a straightforward electric fan oven. It doesn’t have multiple modes, but that simplicity makes it a workhorse for everyday baking and tray bakes. With both ovens on the go, cooking for a crowd becomes much easier than with a single cavity machine.
Above, the 5-burner gas hob covers a burner power range from 1kW up to 4kW. The dedicated wok burner provides the high heat you need for proper stir-frying or boiling large pots quickly, while the smaller burners handle simmering sauces and delicate tasks.
The separate variable electric grill, housed in the third cavity, adds yet another layer of flexibility. Because it’s a glide-out grill, checking toast, cheese on toast or crisping a breadcrumb topping is more controlled and safer than leaning into a hot oven.
On the convenience side, automatic ignition, catalytic liners in the main oven, a programmable timer and features like the Handyrack and telescopic runners make this feel like a mature, well-specced range. Energy ratings of A for both main and second ovens mean it performs efficiently for its size, though any large-capacity range will use more energy than a compact cooker simply because it can cook so much at once.
This is clearly positioned as a premium dual fuel range cooker, and the price reflects that. You’re paying for a 100cm footprint, dual large-capacity ovens, a dedicated grill and a well-designed gas hob, all wrapped in a solid-feeling chassis with quality fittings.
When you factor in the extensive feature set – from catalytic liners and telescopic runners to the wok burner and Handyrack – it stacks up well against many similarly sized range cookers that offer less flexibility or smaller capacities.
The strong 4.7/5 rating from over 700 owners is an important part of the value story. It suggests that, for most buyers, the cooker delivers the reliability, performance and ease of use they expected at this price point.
If you only cook occasionally or rarely need the space of two large ovens, you may struggle to justify the outlay and a smaller dual fuel cooker could make more sense. But for a household that cooks daily, entertains often or bakes in bulk, the extra capacity and thoughtful features are likely to feel worth the investment over many years of use.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFSL/C is a seriously capable dual fuel range cooker that’s clearly built with enthusiastic home cooks in mind. Its twin large ovens, separate glide-out grill and 5-burner gas hob give you the space and control to cook ambitious meals without feeling cramped.
Convenience features such as catalytic liners in the main oven, the Handyrack, telescopic shelves and automatic ignition help justify its premium positioning, and the strong owner reviews back up the sense that this is a reliable, well-engineered appliance.
It isn’t the cheapest option, and those who cook only occasionally may not get full value from its generous specification. But if you have the space, budget and appetite for serious home cooking, this Rangemaster is an excellent, future-proof choice that should serve as the heart of your kitchen for years.
