The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C is a 110cm-wide electric range cooker with an induction hob, finished in striking cranberry with chrome detailing. It’s a traditional-looking range with very modern guts, combining two large ovens, a separate grill and a warming compartment.
Rangemaster is a long-established British brand and this model feels every inch the premium choice, from its solid doors to its induction hob and multifunction main oven. It sits firmly at the top end of the market in terms of price, but the specification and finish are a clear step up from basic ranges.
With an impressive 4.9 out of 5 score from around 240 owner reviews, it’s clearly a cooker that keeps its buyers happy, especially busy households that cook and bake regularly.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households and keen home cooks who use their oven and hob most days. The two 79-litre ovens give you masses of space for family roasts, batch cooking and baking, while the separate grill and warming compartment make it easy to juggle different dishes for big Sunday lunches or Christmas dinner.
It’s a premium option, so it suits buyers who are happy to pay more for a centrepiece appliance that feels robust and looks fantastic in a farmhouse-style or classic kitchen. The traditional styling, especially in cranberry and chrome, is designed to be seen rather than hidden.
The induction hob, programmable timer and multifunction main oven make it well suited to confident cooks who want precise control, but the simple rotary dials and clear LED display also mean it won’t intimidate less experienced users. If you’re upgrading from a basic freestanding cooker and want something you can grow into, this has plenty of headroom.
It’s less suitable for small kitchens or those on a tight budget. At 110cm wide and needing a dedicated hard‑wired electrical connection, it’s really for those planning a more permanent, considered kitchen set-up.
The twin 79-litre ovens are a major strength, giving you enough capacity to cook a main course and sides together, or to batch-bake trays of biscuits and cakes without constantly rotating shelves.
The induction hob with five zones offers fast, responsive heat and good safety, with pan detection and residual heat indicators. It’s more efficient and easier to keep clean than a traditional ceramic or solid-plate electric hob.
The multifunction main oven, with eight functions and catalytic liners on the sides, gives you real flexibility for roasting, baking, grilling and defrosting, while cutting down on elbow-grease when it comes to cleaning.
Practical touches such as the glide-out grill, Handyrack (so you can check a roast without wrestling with a hot shelf), telescopic shelf runners and triple-glazed doors all add to the feeling of a thoughtfully designed, quality range.
A two-year manufacturer warranty and an excellent user rating suggest good reliability and owner satisfaction.
The most obvious downside is price: this is very much a premium range cooker, so it won’t suit tighter budgets even though the specification justifies much of the cost.
Despite the catalytic liners on the main and second ovens, they only cover the sides, so you’ll still need to manually clean the backs, bases and doors. There’s no pyrolytic self-cleaning option, which some similarly priced electric ovens now offer.
The separate grill cavity uses a more basic enamel interior and has no interior light, which makes it feel slightly less luxurious than the main ovens. You also have no control panel lock, so in households with very young children you’ll need to be mindful of curious hands.
Finally, it requires hard wiring by an electrician and draws significant power (16.24kW, 45-amp fuse), so you may need electrical work if your existing supply isn’t up to spec.
Day to day, the Classic Deluxe feels reassuringly solid. The Catch-rite door fixtures give a positive, secure close, and the triple-glazed doors help keep heat in and the kitchen a little cooler, while also allowing you to check progress through the viewing windows and interior lights.
The rotary controls are straightforward, backed up by an LED clock and electronic minute minder, so setting cooking times and using the programmable timer quickly becomes second nature. Once you’re used to it, you can have the oven come on and go off automatically, handy for slow roasts or midweek meals.
Induction makes a noticeable difference to everyday cooking. Pans heat up rapidly and adjustments in power are reflected almost instantly in the pan, making simmering sauces or stir-frying much easier to control. The flat glass surface wipes clean with a quick once-over after cooking, as long as you catch spills before they burn on.
Cleaning the ovens is more manageable than you might expect from such a big cooker. The catalytic liners in the two main ovens help break down everyday splashes when used at higher temperatures, while easy-clean enamel in the grill cavity means a sponge and mild cleaner will usually do the job. Telescopic shelves and the Handyrack also make it easier to handle hot dishes safely.
Performance is a key selling point of this model. Both main and second ovens offer a generous 79-litre capacity, each with an A energy rating. The main cavity is multifunctional with eight different settings, so you can switch between conventional top-and-bottom heat, fan-assisted cooking, bottom-only heat and a dedicated defrost function. This flexibility lets you tailor the oven to anything from delicate pastries to dense roasts.
The second cavity is a full-sized fan oven, ideal when you need even heat across multiple trays – for example, baking several cakes at once or cooking large trays of vegetables. With its own light, shelves and catalytic liners on the sides, it behaves like a proper main oven in its own right rather than an afterthought.
Up top, the five-zone induction hob spans a useful range of power levels from 1.15kW to 3kW. Pan detection means the zone only heats when a suitable pan is in place, and residual heat indicators warn you if a zone is still hot after cooking. The glass surface keeps the sleek look and is sturdier and easier to maintain than most ceramic or coil alternatives.
The separate, full-width electric grill with a glide-out tray is great for quick snacks, crisping toppings and finishing dishes. Being able to grill with the door open and slide the tray out gives you precise control over browning without having to reach into a hot cavity.
Add in thoughtful extras such as height-adjustable feet, telescopic shelf runners, and a dedicated warming compartment for plates or keeping food warm, and it becomes clear that this cooker is designed for people who entertain and cook often, not just occasionally.
There’s no getting away from the fact that the Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C is an expensive appliance. It’s at the premium end of electric range cookers, reflecting its British build, large 110cm format, induction hob and twin full-size ovens.
However, when you factor in the specification, the generous cooking space, the quality of the induction hob and the array of convenience features – from catalytic liners and telescopic runners to the Handyrack and warming compartment – it offers strong value for buyers who will genuinely use its capabilities.
The 4.9/5 average rating from around 240 owners is an important part of the value story: people who have committed to the higher upfront cost are overwhelmingly happy with their purchase, which suggests good long-term satisfaction and performance. If you simply need a basic cooker for occasional use, this is overkill; but for serious home cooks, it justifies its price far better than many cheaper, sparsely equipped alternatives.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EICY/C is a seriously capable electric range cooker that combines traditional looks with modern induction technology and a very generous amount of cooking space. Its twin 79-litre ovens, five-zone induction hob and practical features like the Handyrack, glide-out grill and catalytic liners make it a joy for regular cooks and entertainers.
It’s undeniably a premium purchase and lacks a few ultra-luxury touches such as full pyrolytic cleaning or a child lock, but these are relatively small omissions in the context of what it does well. Build quality feels solid, everyday usability is excellent, and user feedback is exceptionally strong.
If you have the space, the electrical capacity and the budget, this is an outstanding choice for a family kitchen or anyone who takes their home cooking seriously. Those with smaller kitchens or simpler needs may be better off with a narrower or more basic model, but as a centrepiece range cooker, the Classic Deluxe fully lives up to its name.
