The Rangemaster Professional Plus FXP PROP90FXPDFFCR/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker that aims squarely at keen home cooks who want the precision of gas on the hob and the consistency of an electric multifunction oven. Finished in cream with a contemporary look, it’s designed to be a statement piece as much as a workhorse.
You get a single, ultra-spacious 114-litre oven, a five-burner gas hob with cast-iron supports and a powerful wok burner, plus the luxury of pyrolytic self-cleaning – still relatively rare on range cookers. It’s very much a premium buy, but its specification reflects that.
With a user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from well over three hundred reviews, owners are clearly impressed with how it performs day to day, which backs up Rangemaster’s long-standing reputation in range cookers.
This Rangemaster is ideal for busy family kitchens and enthusiastic home cooks who regularly batch cook, host Sunday roasts or entertain. The huge 114-litre oven capacity and wide 90cm format mean you can comfortably handle multiple dishes at once without juggling trays.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, long-term investment rather than a budget stop-gap. Dual fuel gives you the responsiveness of gas burners on top and the even, reliable results of an electric multifunction oven, which will appeal if you’re particular about your cooking.
If you’re upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker and want more space without going up to a full 110cm range, this 90cm model is a sweet spot. The single-cavity design with an energy saving panel lets you effectively “split” the oven when you don’t need all that space, making it flexible for both everyday meals and big occasions.
It’s also a strong choice for those who hate cleaning the oven: pyrolytic self-cleaning drastically cuts down on scrubbing, so it’s well suited to households that cook often but don’t want the hassle of deep-cleaning baked-on grease.
The standout strength here is the enormous 114-litre multifunction oven, which gives you the freedom to cook large joints, multiple trays of food or big batch-cooking sessions with ease. For a 90cm range, that capacity is seriously generous.
The five-burner gas hob with cast-iron pan supports and a dedicated wok burner offers flexible, powerful heat across a range of pan sizes. Whether you’re simmering sauces or stir-frying at high heat, there’s a burner that fits the job.
Multifunction cooking with seven settings, including fan, conventional and grill, means you can match the heat to the recipe rather than compromising. Closed-door grilling is more efficient and keeps the kitchen a bit cooler and safer.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning is a major plus: instead of scrubbing, the oven burns off residue at high temperature, leaving ash to simply wipe away. Combined with triple-glazed doors and an A energy rating, it feels like a thoroughly modern take on a traditional range.
Thoughtful touches such as telescopic shelf runners, an electronic programmable timer, automatic ignition and a sturdy Catch-rite™ door fixture all contribute to a cooker that feels solid, safe and easy to live with over the long term.
The main drawback is the price: this is a premium appliance, so it won’t suit tighter budgets, especially once you factor in the required professional gas and electrical installation.
Although you get a huge oven, there’s only one cavity. If you’re used to completely separate ovens for different temperatures, you may need to plan your cooking a bit more carefully, even with the energy saving panel.
Despite the high-end positioning, there are no catalytic liners and the enamel interior alone isn’t as low-maintenance as it could be between pyrolytic cycles. The inner door glass is not removable either, which can make detailed cleaning a bit more fiddly.
There’s no child lock on the control panel and no residual heat indicators on the hob, so families with small children will need to be especially mindful around the cooker when it’s hot.
Day to day, the Professional Plus FXP feels reassuringly solid and straightforward. Rotary controls and a clear LED display make it easy to choose functions, set temperatures and use the electronic programmable timer. Automatic ignition on the hob means lighting burners is quick and fuss-free.
The central oven layout with adjustable shelves and telescopic runners makes loading and checking food safer and more comfortable, especially with heavy roasting trays. The large, triple-glazed window and interior light give a clear view of what’s cooking without repeatedly opening the door.
On the hob, the cast-iron pan supports give a stable platform for everything from small saucepans to wide frying pans and woks. The range of burner powers (1 to 4kW) makes it simple to move from gentle melting or simmering to fast boiling or searing.
Cleaning is where the pyrolytic function really pays off: for heavy soiling you can run a self-clean cycle and then just wipe away the ash. For lighter mess, the enamel interior will still need occasional wiping, but you don’t have to rely solely on elbow grease. The flat steel hob surface and removable pan supports are also reasonably straightforward to keep in good condition.
Installation requires both a Gas Safe engineer and a qualified electrician, and the cooker needs hard wiring due to its 3650W electrical load. Once in place and levelled using the height-adjustable legs, it feels like a built-in part of the kitchen rather than a freestanding appliance.
Performance is a clear strong point. The 114-litre main cavity is rated A for energy efficiency and offers fan-assisted and conventional heat, so you can choose between fast, even cooking or more traditional baking depending on the recipe. The size means you can handle large turkeys, multiple trays of roast vegetables or big lasagnes without overcrowding.
With seven functions in the multifunction oven, including top and bottom elements, bottom-only, fan, defrost and a variable electric grill, you have plenty of flexibility. Defrost and fan settings are particularly handy for midweek cooking, helping speed up meals without compromising results.
The five-burner gas hob is well specified. A wide power range up to 4kW, paired with a dedicated wok burner, provides the punch needed for searing and stir-fries. Cast-iron supports and automatic flame failure safety devices give confidence during more vigorous cooking sessions.
Convenience features help justify the premium positioning. Pyrolytic self-cleaning turns baked-on grease into ash, drastically cutting down on manual scrubbing. The Energy Saving Panel is a neat idea too, allowing you to section off part of the oven when you don’t need the full 114 litres, improving efficiency for smaller meals.
Safety and build quality touches such as the Catch-rite™ door fixture, triple-glazed door, automatic safety shut off and closed-door grilling all contribute to a cooker that feels robust, secure and built for heavy use. The included griddle plate adds another level of versatility, letting you grill steaks, fish or vegetables on the hob without extra pans.
This Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium bracket for dual fuel range cookers. You’re paying for a trusted British brand, a very large-capacity oven, dual fuel flexibility, and high-end features such as pyrolytic self-cleaning and an energy saving panel.
Considering the strong 4.7/5 average rating from hundreds of owners, it appears to deliver on its promises in real kitchens. Few 90cm ranges combine this level of capacity, multifunction cooking and pyrolytic cleaning, which helps to justify the higher upfront cost if you’ll actually use those features.
If you simply need more space than a standard cooker and don’t care about pyrolytic cleaning or the finer points of multifunction cooking, there are cheaper alternatives. But if you cook often, entertain regularly and want a stylish centrepiece that should last many years, the Professional Plus FXP offers solid long-term value despite the premium price tag.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus FXP 90cm dual fuel range cooker is an excellent choice for serious home cooks and busy families who want a high-capacity, feature-rich appliance. Its combination of a huge 114-litre multifunction oven, versatile five-burner gas hob and pyrolytic self-cleaning puts it a step above many rivals in everyday usability.
It isn’t cheap and the single large cavity won’t suit everyone, especially if you’re set on two completely separate ovens. The lack of catalytic liners and child lock are minor niggles on an otherwise very modern spec sheet.
If your budget stretches to it and you’re looking for a stylish cream range cooker that can handle everything from rushed weeknight dinners to big family gatherings with ease, this Rangemaster is a highly compelling option that feels built to work hard and look good doing it.
