The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP100DFFCR/C is a 100cm dual fuel range cooker that blends traditional looks with modern cooking performance. Finished in cream with a contemporary edge, it’s designed as a centrepiece for larger kitchens.
With two full-size electric fan ovens, a dedicated electric grill and a 5-burner gas hob including a wok burner, this is very much a premium, entertainer-friendly appliance. It sits towards the higher end of the market, but its generous capacity and solid feature set match that positioning.
Owners rate it extremely highly, with an average score of 4.8 out of 5 from more than 650 reviews, which gives strong confidence that it performs as well in real homes as it does on paper.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households, keen cooks and anyone who regularly hosts. The two big fan ovens (79L and 82L) plus a separate grill make it easy to juggle roasts, sides and puddings without playing oven Tetris.
It’s a good fit if you prefer the instant control of gas on the hob but want the even, predictable results of electric fan ovens. The powerful 1–4kW burners and dedicated wok burner will appeal if you cook a lot of stir-fries or like to sear meat properly.
Given the price, it suits buyers looking for a long-term investment rather than a stopgap cooker. If you’re renovating a kitchen, upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker, or moving into a home with space for a statement range, this model is well worth considering.
If you rarely cook for more than two people or have a compact kitchen, the size and capacity are likely to be overkill, and a smaller, cheaper cooker would make more sense.
The twin electric fan ovens are a real strength: both are large, A-rated and fan-assisted, so heat is distributed evenly on every shelf. That means more reliable bakes and the confidence to cook different dishes at the same time without worrying about hot spots.
The layout is highly practical. You get a bottom-left main oven, a top-right second oven and a dedicated top-left electric grill, plus a roomy 5-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports and a powerful wok burner. It’s a flexible setup for everyday meals and big family gatherings alike.
Cleaning is made easier by catalytic liners in the main cavity, which help break down grease during normal cooking, and easy-clean enamel in the other cavities. That keeps scrubbing to a minimum.
Thoughtful touches like the glide-out grill, telescopic shelf runners and Handyrack in the oven door improve day-to-day usability, making it easier and safer to check on food or baste a joint without reaching deep into a hot oven.
Safety and build quality also stand out, with features such as flame failure devices, automatic safety shut off and triple-glazed doors, backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
This is a premium-priced cooker, so it won’t suit tighter budgets, especially once you factor in the need for professional gas and electrical installation.
For such a feature-rich range, the ovens themselves are quite simple in terms of functions, with each fan oven offering just a single fan mode rather than multiple programmable cooking settings. If you want lots of specialist programmes or built-in smart tech, this model is fairly traditional.
The second oven and grill cavities use enamel rather than catalytic liners, so they will still need some manual cleaning, particularly if you grill a lot. There’s also no control panel lock or residual heat indicators, which some families with young children might miss.
Finally, there are no interior lights in the second oven or grill cavity, which can make it a bit harder to check food at a glance in those compartments.
Day to day, the Professional Plus is designed to be straightforward and reassuring to use. Rotary controls and an LED clock with minute minder keep the interface simple, so you’re not wading through complicated menus to get cooking. Automatic ignition on the hob and push-button ignition on the ovens make lighting quick and consistent.
The 100cm width gives you plenty of room across the 5-burner hob, with sturdy cast iron pan supports that feel secure when you’re using heavier pans. The burner power range of 1–4kW means you can move seamlessly from gentle simmering to intense heat, and the wok burner provides the punch needed for fast stir-frying.
Inside the main oven, telescopic shelf runners and the Handyrack fitted to the door make it easier to slide trays out safely and baste roasts without wrestling with heavy shelves. The glide-out grill works similarly, so you can keep a closer eye on toast, cheese on toast or grilled meats without burning your hands.
Cleaning the main cavity is relatively low effort thanks to the catalytic liners on the sides, which absorb and help break down grease as you cook. The enamel interiors of the other cavities will still need a wipe-down, but the smooth surfaces simplify the job. With no glass lid and a contemporary open design, there’s also less to fiddle with on the hob itself.
The cooker is height adjustable, helping it sit flush with your worktops. Triple-glazed doors retain heat well, and the solid Rangemaster build gives it a reassuringly robust feel when opening and closing doors or pulling out trays.
Performance is centred around the two large electric fan ovens. The 79L main oven and 82L second oven are both A-rated for efficiency and fan-assisted, so they heat evenly and are well suited to multi-shelf cooking. With just the fan function on each, operation is simple: set the temperature, let it preheat and you’re ready to go.
Energy consumption figures of 0.78kWh for the main cavity and 0.83kWh for the second are competitive for ovens of this size, which helps keep running costs sensible given how much space you have to work with. The large capacities also mean fewer batches when baking or cooking for a crowd.
Up top, the gas hob uses steel surfaces with five burners and heavy-duty cast iron pan supports. The range of burner outputs up to 4kW, including a dedicated wok burner, gives you the control needed for everything from delicate sauces to aggressive searing. Flame failure safety devices cut off the gas if a flame goes out, adding peace of mind.
The third cavity is a 25L variable electric grill, accessed via a drop-down door. The glide-out design makes it easier to position food under the grill and to turn or remove items safely. Open-door grilling is supported, which is typical for this style and lets you keep a close eye on browning.
Convenience features are sensible rather than flashy: catalytic liners in the main oven, easy-clean enamel elsewhere, telescopic shelves, a programmable electronic timer and Catch-rite door fixtures to give a solid, secure close. There’s no smart connectivity or complex multi-stage cooking, but if you prefer a robust, traditional-feeling range that simply cooks well, this is a strong package.
This Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium bracket for dual fuel range cookers, and the price reflects that. You’re paying for a 100cm appliance with two genuinely large fan ovens, a separate grill, a powerful 5-burner gas hob and a well-finished cream exterior that’s designed to be part of your kitchen for many years.
While there are cheaper range cookers and standard 60cm cookers with more cooking functions or digital flourishes, the Professional Plus concentrates on build quality, capacity and practical features that matter in everyday use. Details like the Handyrack, telescopic shelves, catalytic liners and cast iron supports are the kind of things you notice over time.
The 4.8/5 average rating from over 650 owners strongly supports the sense that most buyers feel they’ve had good value, despite the upfront cost. If your budget can stretch to it and you’ll make use of the space and flexibility, it represents solid value as a long-term investment. If you cook less often or won’t use both ovens regularly, a more modest cooker would likely be a better use of money.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP100DFFCR/C is a highly capable, premium range cooker that earns its place in a busy family kitchen. Its twin fan ovens, dedicated grill and roomy 5-burner gas hob give you serious flexibility, while thoughtful touches like catalytic liners, a Handyrack and glide-out grill make it easier to live with day to day.
It’s not the most feature-packed in terms of oven programmes or smart tech, and the price plus professional installation will put it beyond some budgets. The absence of catalytic liners in the second oven and no lights in the auxiliary cavities are minor compromises at this level.
If you’re looking for a reliable, substantial dual fuel range from a respected British brand and you value capacity, even cooking and solid build over gimmicks, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice that should serve you well for years.
