A premium range cooker with classic charm

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFRG/B is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker that blends traditional styling with a very modern feature set. Finished in Racing Green with brass accents, it’s designed to be a statement piece as much as a serious cooking appliance.

With three separate cavities, a powerful 5-burner gas hob and a multifunction main oven, it’s firmly at the premium end of the market. You’re paying for flexibility, build quality and that iconic Rangemaster look rather than bare-bones functionality.

Owners rate it extremely highly, with an average score of 4.8 out of 5 from over 300 reviews, which gives strong confidence that it delivers in day-to-day use as well as on paper.

Who this range cooker is best for

This cooker is ideal for keen home cooks and busy families who want the flexibility of a range without stepping up to a full 110cm model. The 90cm width makes it a realistic upgrade from a standard cooker while still giving you three cavities and a large 5-burner hob.

If you entertain regularly, cook big Sunday lunches or like to batch cook, the 79-litre multifunction main oven plus 67-litre fan oven give you plenty of space to run multiple dishes at once. The separate full-width grill means you can crisp, toast or finish dishes without tying up either oven.

It’s also a good fit if you love the control of gas on the hob but prefer the consistency of electric ovens. The wok burner, cast iron pan supports and optional wok cradle will particularly appeal to stir-fry fans and more adventurous cooks.

Budget-wise, this is a premium purchase. It suits buyers who are prepared to invest in a long-term centrepiece for the kitchen, rather than those after a basic, low-cost cooker.

What we like

The triple-cavity layout is a real strength. You get a large 79-litre multifunction main oven, a generous 67-litre fan oven and a separate 25-litre full-width electric grill, so juggling sides, mains and desserts is far easier than on a standard cooker.

The gas hob is well thought out, with five burners covering everyday cooking and high-heat tasks. The 4kW triple crown wok burner and sturdy cast iron pan supports provide excellent support for larger pans and fast stir-frying, while the included griddle adds extra versatility for searing meat or cooking breakfasts.

Ease of cleaning is better than many rivals. Catalytic liners in the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, while the other cavities use easy-clean enamel, so baked-on splashes are less of a chore to wipe away.

There’s a strong focus on usability: automatic ignition, electronic clock and programmable timer, bright LED display, triple-glazed doors and telescopic shelf runners all help make everyday cooking safer, smoother and less fiddly.

Build and finish are reassuring, with a traditional Rangemaster style, Catch-rite door fixtures and a solid-feeling fascia. A two-year manufacturer warranty for domestic use adds peace of mind on a high-end purchase.

Where it could be better

The price is firmly in premium territory for a 90cm range cooker, so if you simply want extra oven space without the classic styling, there are cheaper alternatives with broadly similar capacities.

Only the main oven has catalytic liners; the second oven and grill cavities are enamel only. They’re still fairly easy to clean, but heavy users may wish the self-clean help extended across all three.

There’s no child lock on the control panel and no residual heat indicators on the hob, which may give families with very young children pause. It’s not unusual for a traditional-style range, but worth noting.

Installation is more involved than a standard cooker: it needs hard wiring by an electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, and the LPG conversion kit and gas hose are not included, adding to the overall cost if you need them.

Everyday use

Day to day, this Rangemaster is designed to feel like a proper cook’s tool. The front-mounted rotary dials and buttons are clear and chunky enough to operate confidently, and automatic ignition means burners light with a twist and press rather than hunting for matches.

The main multifunction oven offers eight modes, so you can switch between fan cooking, conventional top-and-bottom heat and dedicated top or bottom elements depending on the recipe. The large viewing windows and interior light in the main cavity make it easy to keep an eye on bakes without opening the door and losing heat.

The glide-out grill tray is a practical touch: it pulls smoothly out on runners, so turning food or checking doneness is safer and less awkward. The Handyrack, which brings the roasting tray out on the door, also makes dealing with heavy joints more manageable.

Cleaning is relatively straightforward for a range cooker. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main cavity help to break down grease as you cook, so a light wipe-down is often all that’s needed. The hob’s steel surface and cast iron pan supports will need regular wiping to stay looking their best, but the solid layout makes it easy to lift off supports and get into corners.

With a 90cm width and 60.8cm depth, it will dominate a small kitchen but sits well as a focal point in a medium or larger space. Once professionally installed and levelled, it feels solid and planted, with doors that shut with a confident, positive action.

Performance and features

Performance is a strong point. The 79-litre main oven is both large and versatile, with eight functions including fan, conventional, dedicated top or bottom heat and defrost. This makes it suitable for everything from slow roasts and crusty bread to delicate bakes. Energy consumption figures (A-rated, with 0.88 kWh in fan mode) are respectable for the size.

The second 67-litre fan oven is straightforward but very useful. Because it’s fan-assisted and A-rated, it cooks evenly across shelves, ideal for batch baking or running different dishes at the same temperature. Having two full-size electric ovens at your disposal is a real advantage for bigger households and keen entertainers.

The dedicated third cavity is a full-width electric grill rated at 2300W. Being able to grill independently of either oven is particularly handy for quick snacks, finishing pasta bakes or crisping crackling while the rest of the oven space is used for something else.

On the hob, you get five gas burners covering 1–4kW, including two medium burners, two larger burners and the powerful 4kW wok burner. Flame failure devices shut off the gas if a flame goes out, and the cast iron supports keep pans stable, which is reassuring when you’re cooking with heavy pots.

Rangemaster has also added thoughtful extras: Rapid Response helps the oven reach temperature quickly, telescopic shelf runners make it easier to lift heavy trays, and the Handyrack on the door improves access to roasts. The combination of these touches, along with the traditional styling and quality feel, sets it apart from more basic ranges.

Value for money

This Classic Deluxe 90 sits at the upper end of the price scale for 90cm dual fuel range cookers. You’re paying a premium not only for the Rangemaster badge and the classic Racing Green and brass styling, but also for the triple-cavity layout, strong hob performance and convenience features.

Factoring in two large A-rated electric ovens, a separate full-width grill, catalytic liners in the main cavity, Rapid Response, Handyrack, glide-out grill and robust cast iron supports, the specification is richer than many more basic models. For buyers who will use those features regularly, the cost is easier to justify.

The very high user rating (4.8 out of 5 from over 300 reviews) strongly suggests that most owners feel they’ve had good value over time, with satisfaction spanning performance, reliability and day-to-day usability.

If you’re primarily price-driven, there are simpler dual fuel ranges that cost less but drop the classic styling, some of the convenience features and sometimes the extra grill cavity. For those wanting a long-term, feature-packed centrepiece cooker, this model offers solid value within the premium bracket.

Our verdict

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFRG/B is an excellent choice if you want a 90cm range cooker that looks as good as it cooks. Its combination of two large electric ovens, a dedicated full-width grill and a powerful 5-burner gas hob gives you the flexibility to handle everything from busy family meals to more ambitious entertaining.

Usability and build are strong, with thoughtful touches like catalytic liners in the main oven, telescopic runners, Handyrack and a powerful wok burner all adding up to a cooker that’s enjoyable to use, not just impressive on a spec sheet. The styling and finish make it a standout piece in both traditional and country-style kitchens.

The main caveats are the premium price, the need for professional gas and electrical installation and the fact that only the main oven benefits from self-clean liners. If you simply need extra oven space on a tight budget, this probably isn’t the model for you. But if you’re happy to invest in a high-quality, characterful range that’s built to work hard, it’s a superb option.
