The Rangemaster Professional Plus FXP PROP90FXPDFFGB/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker that blends a traditional range look with thoroughly modern features. With a cavernous 114-litre multifunction electric oven and a five-burner gas hob, it’s built for people who actually cook – from Sunday roasts to batch baking.
Rangemaster is a well-established British name in range cookers, and this model sits firmly in the premium end of the market. You’re paying for build quality, versatility and a clever design that gives you one big oven space when you need it and a smaller, more efficient one when you don’t.
Owners clearly rate it: with a 4.7 out of 5 score from hundreds of reviews, it’s a proven workhorse rather than an experimental design. If you’ve got the space and budget for a statement range that earns its keep, this is one to take seriously.
This 90cm Rangemaster is ideal for medium to large households that cook often, entertain regularly or simply like to have plenty of oven space on tap. The 114-litre capacity gives you room for multiple trays at once, large joints of meat or a full Christmas dinner without juggling timings.
It suits keen home cooks who want the responsiveness of gas on the hob with the even, reliable results of an electric oven. The combination of a powerful wok burner, multiple burner sizes and a genuine multifunction oven will appeal if you cook a wide variety of dishes rather than just the odd tray of oven chips.
Budget-wise, it’s a premium choice rather than an entry-level cooker. If you’re upgrading a kitchen, remodelling or creating a sociable open-plan space, the price is easier to justify than if you just need a basic appliance. In return, you get pyrolytic self-cleaning, telescopic shelves and an energy-saving panel – features that are usually reserved for higher-end models.
If you live in a very compact flat or rarely cook for more than one or two people, this is likely to be overkill in both size and spend. But for family homes, food lovers and anyone who wants a smart-looking, hard-working centrepiece, it’s right in the sweet spot.
The standout strength here is the huge 114-litre multifunction oven. It’s genuinely large enough for serious family cooking, with plenty of shelf positions and two shelves included, so you can make full use of the space.
The dual fuel setup gives you the best of both worlds: a five-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports and a dedicated wok burner, plus an electric oven with fan, grill, top and bottom elements and a defrost function. That means accurate baking, fast boiling and high-heat stir-fries are all covered.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning is a major plus. Instead of endless scrubbing, you can run a high-temperature cycle that burns grease to ash, then simply wipe it out. Combined with enamel interior and triple-glazed door, it keeps the oven looking smart with far less effort.
Practical touches like telescopic shelf runners, an electronic programmable timer and automatic ignition make everyday use smoother and safer. The flame failure safety device and triple-glazed door add peace of mind in busy family kitchens, while the energy-saving panel lets you reduce the usable oven space to save energy when you’re only cooking for a few.
The main drawback is price: this is a premium range cooker, so it won’t suit tighter budgets, especially once you factor in the required professional gas and electrical installation.
Despite the self-cleaning function, there are no catalytic liners, and the inner door glass is not removable. Day-to-day splashes on the glass and around the door still need a bit of elbow grease, especially if you don’t run pyrolytic cycles regularly.
With only one actual oven cavity, you don’t get two independently controlled ovens like on some other 90cm ranges. The energy-saving panel partly compensates by partitioning the space, but if you often need very different temperatures at the same time, that’s worth bearing in mind.
The two-year warranty is decent but not exceptional for a product at this level. Given the investment, some buyers might hope for a longer standard cover without having to purchase extended plans.
Living with the Professional Plus FXP feels reassuringly straightforward. The rotary controls are clear and chunky, so it’s easy to see what’s on and adjust the flame or oven setting at a glance. Automatic ignition for the hob burners means you’re not hunting for matches or a separate spark button.
The five-burner layout with sturdy cast iron pan supports gives good flexibility. You can have a large stockpot simmering at the back, a wok going hard on the dedicated high-output burner and smaller pans ticking over on the auxiliary burners. The steel hob surface will show spills, but it’s flat and easy enough to wipe down after cooking.
Inside the oven, the telescopic shelf runners make it safer to check roasts and bakes – trays slide fully out while staying supported, so you’re not reaching awkwardly into a very hot oven. The bright interior light and triple-glazed window give a clear view without opening the door and losing heat.
Cleaning is perhaps the biggest everyday win. When the interior starts to look tired, you can run a pyrolytic programme and let the oven do the heavy lifting. For quick tidy-ups, the enamel surfaces wipe down reasonably easily. Just be aware that because the door glass isn’t removable, you’ll need to clean it in situ.
Installation does require a Gas Safe engineer and a qualified electrician to hard-wire the 3650W connection, so it’s not a plug-and-play swap. Once installed and levelled (it’s height adjustable), it feels solid, well anchored and very much like a built-in part of the kitchen rather than a loose appliance.
Performance is a real strength. The 114-litre multifunction cavity offers seven functions, including fan-assisted cooking, conventional top-and-bottom heat, bottom-only heat and a variable electric grill. That range of options means you can tailor the heat source to what you’re cooking, from evenly baked sponges to crisp-topped lasagnes.
The fan oven mode is the workhorse for most people, circulating heat for more even results across multiple shelves. With the large capacity and adjustable shelves, you can bake several trays of biscuits or batch cook meals in one go without constant swapping.
On the hob, the 1–4kW burner power range covers gentle melting through to vigorous boiling and stir-frying. The dedicated wok burner is particularly handy if you like Asian-style cooking, giving you the intense heat you simply don’t get on standard small burners. Cast iron supports keep pans stable and cope well with heavy cookware.
Convenience features go beyond the basics. The electronic programmable timer lets you set the oven to turn off automatically, which is great for slow roasts or busy evenings when you don’t want to hover by the oven. The Catch-rite door fixture gives a positive, secure close, while the triple-glazed window helps keep heat locked in and the outer door cooler to touch.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning sets this model apart from many rivals. Instead of relying on liners, the oven can heat itself to an extremely high temperature, burning off baked-on residue. Paired with the energy-saving panel, which allows you to reduce the cavity size when cooking smaller meals, it’s clear this cooker is designed with long-term practicality and running efficiency in mind.
This Rangemaster sits firmly at the upper end of the dual fuel range cooker price spectrum, so it’s not a bargain-basement option. However, when you consider the specification – a huge 114-litre multifunction oven, five-burner gas hob with wok burner, cast iron supports, telescopic shelves, energy-saving panel and full pyrolytic self-cleaning – the package justifies a premium position.
The very strong owner feedback, with a 4.7 rating from a large number of reviews, suggests that real-world users feel they’ve had good return for their investment. Reliability, ease of cooking and the impact of self-cleaning on day-to-day effort all feed into that perception of value.
If you simply need a basic cooker to heat up ready meals, you can spend far less and still get the job done. But if you want a statement appliance that enhances how you cook, reduces cleaning hassle and is built to feel solid for years, the Professional Plus FXP offers solid value for money in the premium bracket.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus FXP PROP90FXPDFFGB/C is a highly capable 90cm dual fuel range cooker that lives up to the brand’s reputation. Its combination of a vast multifunction oven, flexible five-burner hob and genuinely useful features like pyrolytic cleaning and telescopic shelves make it an excellent choice for busy, food-focused households.
It isn’t cheap, and the single-cavity design won’t suit everyone who craves totally separate temperature zones. Installation is also more involved than with a standard cooker. But for most family kitchens and enthusiastic home cooks, those compromises are outweighed by the space, performance and everyday convenience on offer.
If you’re prepared to invest in a premium range and want something that looks smart, cooks superbly and keeps cleaning effort under control, this Rangemaster should sit very near the top of your shortlist.
