The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110DFFSL/C is a 110cm dual fuel range cooker that mixes traditional styling with a highly practical cooking layout. Finished in slate grey with chrome trim, it is designed to be a centrepiece in a larger kitchen.
With four separate cavities, seven-burner gas hob and electric multifunction and fan ovens, this is very much a premium option aimed at keen cooks and busy households. The A/A energy ratings help keep running costs sensible for something this size.
Owners rate it highly, with an average score of 4.6 out of 5 from several hundred reviews, which suggests that real-world reliability and day-to-day performance largely live up to the spec sheet.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households, open-plan kitchens and anyone who regularly cooks for a crowd. Twin 79-litre ovens, a separate grill and a warming compartment mean you can handle a Sunday roast, baked dessert and sides all at once without juggling trays.
It suits confident home cooks who want the control of gas on the hob and the precision of electric ovens. The main multifunction cavity offers eight cooking modes, while the second full-size fan oven gives you consistent results for batch baking or entertaining.
Given the size and dual fuel setup, it is best suited to buyers with a generous kitchen budget looking for a long-term investment rather than a first-time cooker. If you entertain often, bake a lot or simply like to cook multiple dishes together, you will genuinely benefit from what this model offers.
It is also a strong choice for style-conscious homeowners renovating a traditional or country-style kitchen: the Classic Deluxe design, slate grey finish and chrome detailing are made to be on show, not tucked away.
The sheer cooking capacity is a major plus. Two large 79-litre electric ovens, a separate full-width electric grill and a warming compartment give you the flexibility to host big family gatherings without compromise.
The dual fuel setup is a real strength: a seven-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports, including a powerful triple-crown wok burner and a multizone area with a griddle, provides plenty of space and control for everything from delicate sauces to high-heat stir-fries.
Day-to-day usability is thoughtfully considered. The main multifunction oven has eight programmes and Rapid Response to heat up quickly, while features such as the Handyrack, telescopic shelf runners and the glide-out grill make checking and basting food safer and easier.
Cleaning is helped by catalytic stay-clean liners on both main ovens and easy-clean enamel elsewhere, so splatters are absorbed or wipe away more readily. Triple-glazed doors help keep heat in and the kitchen cooler.
Build quality feels reassuringly solid, with details such as the Catch-rite door fixture, cast iron supports and a traditional fascia. A two-year manufacturer’s warranty adds peace of mind for a premium purchase.
This is a premium range cooker and the price reflects that, so it will be overkill for smaller households or anyone who cooks more occasionally.
Installation is more involved than a standard cooker: it needs hard wiring by an electrician and a Gas Safe engineer for the hob, with neither cable nor gas hose included. You will need to factor professional installation into your budget.
Despite the easy-clean features, it is still a large appliance with multiple cavities; a full clean will always take more effort than a single-oven cooker, and there is no pyrolytic self-clean option.
There is no control panel lock or residual heat indicator on the hob, which families with curious children may see as a drawback. The third cavity grill lacks an interior light, so it is slightly harder to judge browning at a glance.
Living with the Classic Deluxe 110 feels like having a small commercial kitchen at home. The 110cm width gives you generous space across the hob, and the cast iron pan supports create a continuous, stable surface for moving heavy pans around. Automatic ignition and rotary controls make getting the burners going quick and intuitive.
The layout of the ovens works well in practice: the main multifunction oven at the bottom left is the workhorse for roasts and more complex dishes, while the top-right fan oven is excellent for everyday meals or batch baking. Both have interior lights, adjustable shelves and telescopic runners in key positions, making it easy to slide trays out to check progress.
The glide-out electric grill at the top is particularly convenient. Pulling the grill pan out on runners means you can turn bacon or finish off gratins without reaching into a hot cavity. The warming compartment is handy for keeping plates hot or resting meat without cluttering the worktop.
Cleaning is relatively straightforward for a range of this size. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main ovens help break down grease during normal cooking, so you usually only need a light wipe-down. Easy-clean enamel in the grill and base areas still needs a bit of elbow grease but resists baked-on food better than bare metal.
The LED clock and programmable timer are simple to set, and once you are used to which oven is which, day-to-day operation is quite straightforward, even if the full array of functions will appeal most to enthusiastic cooks.
At the heart of this range cooker are two large 79-litre electric ovens. The main cavity is multifunctional, offering eight different cooking modes including fan, conventional, bottom heat and grill elements in various combinations. That flexibility lets you fine-tune results, whether you are crisping pastry, slow-roasting joints or baking delicate sponges.
The second oven is a full-size fan-only model, delivering even heat for trays of biscuits, multiple pizza bases or family meals cooked on different shelves. Both ovens carry an A energy rating and sensible consumption figures for their size, so you are not burning unnecessary energy every time you cook.
On the hob, seven gas burners with a power range from 1 to 4kW cover everything from gentle simmering to serious searing. The triple-crown wok burner gives an intense, focused flame that is ideal for stir-fries and large pans, while the included griddle and multizone area add versatility for steaks, fish or all-day breakfasts.
Convenience features elevate the experience further. Rapid Response gets the main oven up to temperature faster, cutting waiting time. The Handyrack attaches to the main oven door so large roasting tins swing out towards you when you open it, making basting and checking much easier. Telescopic shelf runners provide a secure, smooth action when pulling out heavy trays.
Safety has not been ignored either. Flame failure devices shut off the gas if a burner goes out, and the triple-glazed oven doors help keep the outer surfaces cooler and heat firmly locked inside. Combined with the sturdy Catch-rite door fixtures, the overall impression is of a cooker built to handle regular, demanding use.
The Classic Deluxe CDL110DFFSL/C sits firmly in the premium end of the dual fuel range cooker market. You can certainly find cheaper 90cm or single-oven cookers, but few at this width offer such a complete package of capacity, gas hob versatility and thoughtful usability features.
When you factor in the two full-sized ovens, separate grill, warming compartment, powerful seven-burner hob and a suite of convenience touches like Rapid Response, Handyrack and catalytic liners, the price begins to look more justified for committed home cooks and busy families.
The strong owner feedback – a 4.6 out of 5 rating from hundreds of reviews – reinforces the sense that most buyers feel they have received good value, especially over the long term. The two-year warranty is decent, though not exceptional at this price, so it is worth considering extended cover if you want extra reassurance.
If you will regularly use the extra space and functionality, this cooker offers very solid value as a long-lived centrepiece. If your cooking is more occasional or your kitchen is on the smaller side, a simpler, cheaper model may serve you just as well.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110DFFSL/C is a big, capable and handsome range cooker that excels in busy family kitchens and for anyone who loves to entertain. Its twin 79-litre ovens, powerful seven-burner gas hob and separate grill provide the flexibility and capacity to handle elaborate meals without stress.
Thoughtful design details such as catalytic liners, Rapid Response, Handyrack, telescopic runners and the glide-out grill make it easier to live with day to day than many large cookers, while the slate grey and chrome finish adds real visual impact.
It is not a budget choice, and the need for professional dual fuel installation plus the lack of extras like a control lock may put off some households. But if you are looking for a traditional-style, feature-rich range cooker to be the focal point of a serious home kitchen, this Rangemaster is a strong, well-proven option.
