The Stoves Richmond 90cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker pairs traditional, farmhouse-inspired styling with a very modern feature set. With three electric ovens and a 5-burner gas hob, it’s built for households that cook properly, not just reheat.
Stoves is a long-established British brand with a strong reputation in range cookers, and this model sits at the premium end of the 90cm market. You’re paying for capacity, flexibility and a host of thoughtful extras like telescopic shelves, a powerful wok burner and built-in AirFry.
A user rating of 4.8 out of 5 from well over four hundred reviews suggests owners are genuinely impressed with how it performs day to day, which backs up the spec sheet very nicely.
This 90cm Stoves Richmond is ideal for busy family kitchens where the cooker is used heavily every day. With three separate ovens and a 5-burner gas hob, it suits households that regularly juggle different dishes at once – from Sunday roasts with all the trimmings to batch cooking for the freezer.
It’s a strong fit for keen home cooks and enthusiastic bakers who want more control than a basic single oven can offer. The multifunction main oven, tall fanned Titan oven and dedicated grill/third cavity give you lots of options, while the 4kW PowerWok burner is perfect if you enjoy stir-fries and fast searing.
In price and spec terms this is a premium, not entry-level, purchase. It’s best for buyers who are prepared to invest in a range cooker that will anchor their kitchen for years rather than those simply looking for the cheapest 90cm appliance.
It’s also a good choice if you like the instant response of gas on the hob but prefer the even, predictable results of electric ovens – the dual fuel setup gives you the best of both worlds.
Three electric ovens give you outstanding flexibility: a 60-litre multifunction main oven, a tall 81-litre fanned Titan oven and a 33-litre top cavity with grill. That’s more than enough space to cook for large families or dinner parties without shuffling trays endlessly.
The 5-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports feels properly serious. The 4kW PowerWok burner provides intense heat for woks and big pans, while a mix of small, medium and large burners covers everything from delicate sauces to big stockpots.
Features like Equiflow-style even heating, TrueTemp temperature accuracy, Steam & Infuse and the included AirFry tray go beyond the basics. They help with juicy roasts, crisp chips and reliable baking, rather than leaving you to guess.
Day-to-day usability is well thought through: PRO-TRAC telescopic shelves and removable shelf runners make it easier and safer to check food, the Maxi-Grill handles larger trays, and the Maxi Clock electronic timer with acoustic alarm keeps timings on track.
Safety and practicality are strong too, with automatic ignition, a flame failure safety device on the gas burners, child lock, closed-door grilling and easy-clean enamel interiors to cut down on elbow grease.
There are no catalytic or pyrolytic self-cleaning liners, so while the enamel interior is easier to wipe, you’ll still need to put in more manual cleaning effort than with true self-clean ovens.
At 90cm wide with three cavities, this is a sizeable appliance. It won’t suit very compact kitchens, and you’ll need to make sure your units and extraction are planned around it.
Installation requirements are on the serious side: it needs hard wiring by a qualified electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, and neither a gas hose nor power cable is included, which adds to the overall fitted cost.
Despite the generous three-year warranty, there’s no food probe or built-in cooking programmes, so perfectionists who like guided, automated cooking may find it a little more manual than some high-end rivals.
Living with the Stoves Richmond 90cm feels reassuringly like using a proper range. The front-mounted rotary controls and clear LED Maxi Clock make it straightforward to set temperatures and timers, and automatic ignition on the hob means no fumbling with matches.
The three ovens are well lit with halogen lighting, and the side-opening doors on the main and tall cavities make it easier to get heavy trays in and out without leaning over a drop-down door. PRO-TRAC telescopic shelves slide smoothly and lock out securely, so basting a joint or checking a cake feels stable and safe.
On the hob, the cast iron pan supports are solid and continuous, so moving pans around feels secure. The burner layout gives you room to work, and the PowerWok zone brings pans up to heat quickly, which is very handy on busy weeknights.
Cleaning is not completely hands-off, but the enamel and Easy-Clean interiors, removable inner door glass and SteamCleanse function help loosen grime so it’s more wipe-down than full scrub. Closed-door grilling also keeps spatter contained in the cavity.
Once installed, the cooker feels like a permanent, built-in part of the kitchen. Adjustable feet help you line it up neatly with your worktops, and the classic black finish should blend comfortably with a wide range of cabinet styles.
In performance terms, this Stoves range is all about capacity and consistency. The total oven power of 3200W is split across three cavities, and the Titan tall fanned oven is designed to circulate heat evenly over multiple shelves – ideal for batch baking or cooking starters and sides alongside a main.
The main 60-litre multifunction cavity offers several core modes, including conventional heat, top and bottom elements, and bottom-only heating, so you can match the heat pattern to what you’re cooking. TrueTemp and Equiflow-style technology aim to keep temperatures stable, which matters if you bake regularly.
The 81-litre tall oven on the right is a fully-fledged fanned oven rather than a token second cavity, with four shelves and telescopic runners. It’s particularly useful at Christmas or when entertaining, as you can dedicate one oven to mains and another to puddings or sides.
Up top, the 5-burner gas hob provides a wide burner power range from 1kW to 4kW. The central 4kW PowerWok burner delivers the fast, high heat you need for stir-fries and searing, while the smaller burners handle simmering and gentle cooking. Cast iron pan supports and the included cast iron griddle add to the premium feel and versatility.
Extra features give this cooker an edge over more basic models. Steam & Infuse helps lock moisture and flavour into meats and veg, SteamCleanse uses steam to soften baked-on residue, and the dedicated AirFry function and tray let you create crisp results with less oil. Add in the Maxi-Grill, child lock, acoustic end-of-cooking alarm and closed-door grilling and you’ve got a very rounded feature set for serious everyday cooking.
With a price comfortably in the premium band for 90cm dual fuel ranges, this Stoves Richmond is not a budget pick. However, you are getting three electric ovens with a combined very generous capacity, a robust 5-burner gas hob with a high-output wok burner, and a suite of thoughtful features that many mid-range rivals lack.
The high owner rating of 4.8 out of 5 from a large number of reviews suggests that most buyers feel they’ve had good return on their investment in terms of performance and reliability. The three-year manufacturer warranty also adds peace of mind beyond the basic one-year cover common on cheaper cookers.
If you simply want a basic 90cm range to fill a gap, this may feel over-specified and expensive. But if you cook a lot, need the capacity and will use features like the tall fanned oven, telescopic shelves, AirFry and Steam & Infuse, the extra outlay is well justified.
The Stoves Richmond 90cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker is a highly capable, feature-rich centrepiece for a busy kitchen. Its combination of three electric ovens, a powerful 5-burner gas hob and thoughtful touches like telescopic shelves, AirFry and Steam & Infuse make it far more flexible than a standard single-oven cooker.
It isn’t the cheapest option, and the lack of self-cleaning liners means you’ll still have to put in some cleaning effort. Installation also needs both an electrician and a Gas Safe engineer, which adds to the total cost.
For households that cook often, entertain regularly or simply want a reliable, premium-feeling range they won’t outgrow, this Stoves model is a strong choice. If you’re on a tight budget or rarely use more than one oven, a simpler cooker could make more sense, but for serious home cooks this Richmond is easy to recommend.
