The Rangemaster Professional Plus FX PROP90FXDFFCR/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker that pairs a powerful gas hob with a large multifunction electric oven. Finished in cream with chrome detail, it’s designed to be a statement piece as much as a workhorse.
This is very much a premium option, with a specification and build quality that target keen home cooks rather than occasional users. The single 114-litre oven can be split into two zones using a removable divider, giving you flexibility without needing a full double-oven chassis.
With a user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from well over 300 reviews, owners are clearly impressed. The feature set, capacity and brand reputation put it towards the upper end of the market, but it promises the kind of performance and practicality that serious home chefs look for.
This Rangemaster is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and want a centrepiece range. The 90cm width, five gas burners and a huge 114-litre oven mean it can comfortably handle family roasts, batch cooking and entertaining.
It’s particularly well suited to confident home cooks who like the responsiveness of gas on the hob and the precision of an electric multifunction oven. With seven oven functions, a triple-crown wok burner and a supplied teppanyaki-style griddle, there’s plenty of scope for experimenting with different cuisines.
Given its premium price and the need for both a Gas Safe engineer and an electrician to install it, it’s less of a first-time or budget purchase and more of a considered upgrade. If you’re remodelling a kitchen or replacing an older range and want something robust and flexible that should last, it’s right in the sweet spot.
It’s also a good choice if you like the idea of a double oven but don’t always need the extra space. The oven divider lets you run a smaller cavity for everyday meals to save energy, then open up the full space when you’re cooking for a crowd.
The standout advantage here is capacity and flexibility. A 114-litre multifunction oven is huge by any standard, and the removable divider effectively turns it into two independent cooking zones when you want to separate dishes or avoid heating the full cavity.
The 5-burner gas hob is well specified, with cast iron pan supports for stability and durability, plus a triple-crown wok burner for fast stir-fries or big pans. Burner outputs up to 4kW mean strong, responsive heat when you need it.
Everyday usability has clearly been thought through. Telescopic shelf runners make it easier and safer to pull heavy trays out, while the LED programmable timer and rotary controls keep operation straightforward. The triple-glazed door helps keep heat in and the kitchen a bit cooler.
Cleaning is easier than you might expect for a large range thanks to the easy-clean enamel interior. Grease is less likely to bake on hard, so most spills can be wiped away with a damp cloth rather than heavy scrubbing.
Safety is also well covered. Flame failure devices on the hob, automatic safety shut-off and a solid Catch-rite door fixture all add reassurance in a busy family kitchen.
You don’t get catalytic or pyrolytic self-cleaning liners, which are becoming common on premium cookers. The enamel coating is easier to clean than bare metal, but you’ll still need to put in some elbow grease now and then.
Despite the strong specification, there’s only a single physical oven cavity, so you’re relying on the divider panel for dual-zone cooking. It works well for most situations, but it isn’t quite as flexible as two completely separate ovens with their own doors.
There’s no child lock on the control panel, which some families with younger children may miss. The timer and functions are otherwise straightforward, but there aren’t any smart features or guided cooking modes if you like connected appliances.
Finally, installation costs need factoring in. It must be hard-wired by an electrician and installed by a Gas Safe engineer, and there’s no power cable, LPG kit, wok cradle or grill pan handle included as standard, so extras may add to the overall outlay.
Day to day, the Professional Plus FX feels solid and reassuring. The steel hob surface and chunky cast iron pan supports give pans a stable base, and the automatic ignition means burners light quickly with a twist of the rotary dials. With five zones and four different burner sizes between 1kW and 4kW, it’s easy to match heat output to anything from gentle simmering to a rapid boil.
The main oven’s multifunction setup lets you switch between fan-assisted, conventional top and bottom heat, top-only, bottom-only and defrost modes. Once you’ve found the settings that suit your favourite dishes, it becomes second nature. The LED programmable timer is clear and makes it simple to set cooking times and reminders.
The removable oven divider and energy saving panel are genuinely useful. For a quick midweek meal you can run a smaller section of the oven, bringing it up to temperature faster and using less energy. When you’re roasting a joint on one side and baking a pudding on the other, the separation helps keep flavours and smells in check.
Cleaning isn’t entirely hands-off, but the easy-clean enamel and triple-glazed door help. Spills tend to sit on the surface rather than welding themselves on, especially if you wipe them up after the oven has cooled slightly. Telescopic shelves are a real quality-of-life bonus when basting a roast or checking trays – you can slide them out smoothly without reaching right into the hot cavity.
Storage under the oven is another practical touch, giving you somewhere to keep trays and the supplied teppanyaki griddle close to hand so the main oven space is kept clear.
At its core, this is a serious performer. The 114-litre electric oven is both large and efficient, with an A energy rating and the option to use fan-assisted or conventional heating depending on what you’re cooking. Energy consumption figures of 0.97kWh in fan mode and 1.16kWh in conventional mode are respectable for such a big cavity.
The hob’s 1–4kW burner range gives you fine control over heat. Low-output burners are good for delicate sauces, while the triple-crown wok burner delivers intense heat across the base of larger pans, ideal for stir-fries or searing. Cast iron pan supports not only look the part but also spread heat more evenly and are robust enough for heavy cookware.
The multifunction oven offers seven cooking functions, including fan assist, top and bottom element options and a defrost setting. This flexibility means you can crisp up the top of a lasagne, bake evenly on multiple shelves or gently thaw frozen ingredients without half-cooking them. An interior light and triple-glazed viewing window make it easy to check progress without opening the door and losing heat.
One of the most distinctive features is the oven divider and energy saving panel. This turns what looks like a single-cavity design into a flexible multi-zone setup, allowing you to treat part of the oven as a smaller, faster-to-heat space for everyday meals or as a separate zone for different dishes when entertaining.
Supporting features round things out nicely: automatic safety shut-off, flame failure safety devices, telescopic shelf runners, and a supplied teppanyaki-style griddle that sits over the burners for everything from big breakfasts to grilled vegetables. The only notable omission at this level is any form of self-cleaning liner, which some rivals in the same category do offer.
In the world of 90cm dual fuel range cookers, the Professional Plus FX sits at the premium end of the spectrum. You’re paying for the Rangemaster name, solid British build quality and a level of flexibility that goes beyond more basic models.
The combination of a high-capacity multifunction oven, clever divider system, strong gas hob with wok burner and thoughtful touches like telescopic shelves and an energy saving panel means the specification stacks up well for the price. If you’ll use those features regularly, it feels like a justified investment rather than a luxury.
The 4.7/5 rating from a large number of owners suggests that most buyers feel they’ve had good value, despite the higher upfront cost and the need to budget for professional installation. The two-year manufacturer warranty is decent, though not class-leading, and adds some extra peace of mind.
If you rarely cook for more than one or two people or don’t care about the extra capacity and gas hob performance, you could save money with a simpler cooker. For serious home cooks or busy families who want a long-term, feature-rich range, it offers strong value within the premium bracket.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus FX PROP90FXDFFCR/C is a confident, capable range cooker that delivers on the essentials – space, power and control – while adding genuinely useful flexibility through its oven divider and strong hob layout. It looks and feels like a premium appliance and has the owner ratings to back that up.
Its main weaknesses are the lack of self-cleaning liners, the reliance on a single cavity with a divider rather than two completely separate ovens, and the extra cost of professional installation and accessories. None of these are deal-breakers, but they’re worth being aware of when planning your kitchen and budget.
If you’re a keen cook or have a busy household and want a 90cm dual fuel range that can comfortably handle everything from Sunday roasts to weeknight stir-fries, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice. If you’re on a tighter budget or just don’t need this level of capacity, a more basic cooker may make more sense.
