The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EISL/B is a 90cm electric range cooker that blends traditional styling with a very modern induction hob. Finished in slate grey with brass trim, it is designed to be a statement piece as much as a serious cooking tool.
With three cavities, two A-rated electric ovens and a 5-zone induction hob, it is clearly pitched at busy cooks and larger households who want flexibility. Rangemaster is a long-established brand in range cookers, and that heritage shows in the feature set here.
Owner feedback is excellent, with a 4.8 out of 5 rating from over 300 reviews, so this is not just a pretty face – it is a well-proven premium option for serious home cooking.
This model is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and regularly use the oven and hob at the same time. The generous 79-litre multifunction main oven, 67-litre fan oven and separate grill give you the space and flexibility to handle Sunday roasts, batch baking and entertaining.
It suits buyers looking for a premium range cooker rather than a budget appliance. The specification – induction hob, catalytic liners, telescopic shelves and Rangemaster’s Rapid Response™ heating – places it firmly at the higher end of the market, and the price reflects that.
If you love the classic range cooker look but want the safety and speed of induction instead of gas, this is a strong fit. The front-mounted rotary controls, clear LED clock and programmable timer make it approachable for confident everyday cooks, while the multiple functions and three separate cavities will also appeal to keen bakers and hobby chefs.
It is less suited to very small kitchens or those who only cook occasionally. You will want to make good use of the capacity and features to justify the cost and space it occupies.
The combination of a 5-zone induction hob and a large multifunction main oven makes this a very capable centrepiece for family cooking. Induction delivers fast heat, precise control and built-in pan detection, so it only heats where there is cookware, improving both safety and efficiency.
Three separate cavities give you excellent flexibility: a 79-litre multifunction main oven, a 67-litre fan oven for extra capacity or batch baking, and a dedicated full-width electric grill. Being able to roast, bake and grill simultaneously is a real advantage when entertaining.
Cleaning is easier than on many traditional ranges thanks to catalytic liners on the sides of the main oven and easy-clean enamel elsewhere. Spills are less likely to bake on hard, so routine wipe-downs are simpler.
Thoughtful touches like telescopic shelf runners, a Handyrack on the door for easier access to roasting trays, triple-glazed oven doors and an electronic programmable timer all add to everyday convenience.
The strong user rating (4.8/5 from over 300 reviews) suggests good reliability, performance and satisfaction in real homes.
This is a premium appliance with a price to match, so it will not suit tighter budgets, especially when you factor in the need for professional hard wiring and a 45-amp supply.
Although the main oven benefits from catalytic liners, the second oven and grill use standard enamel interiors. They are still easy enough to wipe clean, but you do not get the same grease-absorbing help in every cavity.
There is no interior light in the second oven or the grill cavity, which can make it harder to keep an eye on food without opening the door. The lack of a control panel lock may also be a minor drawback in homes with curious children, even though the hob itself has child lock functionality.
Finally, being a 90cm freestanding range, it demands a fair amount of space and a suitable extraction setup, so it is not a drop-in upgrade for every kitchen.
Day to day, the Classic Deluxe CDL90EISL/B is designed to feel solid and reassuring. The Catch-rite™ door fixtures and triple-glazed windows give the doors a positive, sturdy action and help keep heat in while letting you see what is going on.
The induction hob surface is smooth glass, so it is simple to wipe clean after cooking. Pan detection and residual heat indicators add peace of mind, letting you know when a zone is still hot and ensuring power is not wasted on an empty ring. With nine power levels you can easily move from a gentle simmer to a rolling boil.
Inside the main oven, adjustable shelves and telescopic runners make it easier to slide heavy trays in and out safely. The Handyrack mounted on the door is particularly handy for roasts, as you can baste and check progress without reaching deep into the oven.
The electronic clock and programmable timer are straightforward, giving you better control over cooking times, especially when juggling multiple dishes. Self-cleaning via the catalytic liners in the main oven reduces the effort needed for deep cleaning, leaving you mainly to deal with the door glass and the non-catalytic cavities.
As a freestanding 90cm range, installation needs a suitable 45-amp circuit and enough clearance to meet the 65cm minimum distance to any cooker hood, but once it is in place it becomes a very natural focal point in day-to-day kitchen life.
Performance is a key strength of this Rangemaster. The main multifunction oven offers eight different cooking modes, including conventional top-and-bottom heat, bottom-only heat and fan-assisted options. That range of settings lets you match the heat to the food, from crisp Yorkshire puddings to slow-cooked casseroles.
The second oven is a 67-litre fan oven, ideal for extra capacity when you are cooking for a crowd or for batch baking trays of biscuits or cakes. With its own A energy rating, it is efficient enough for frequent use. Having two full ovens means you can cook at different temperatures simultaneously without compromise.
On the hob, five induction zones with power from 1.15kW to 1.85kW give you a good mix of simmer and boiling power. Induction is inherently responsive, and the Rapid Response™ feature further speeds up preheating, so you spend less time waiting for pans and ovens to come up to temperature.
Safety and convenience features are well covered. Automatic safety shut-off, overheating protection, a child lock for the hob, residual heat indicators and triple glazing on the doors all contribute to a safer cooking environment. The programmable timer and LED display help keep you on top of timings when multiple dishes are on the go.
Cleaning support is also built in. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main cavity help break down grease during normal cooking, while the remaining cavities use easy-clean enamel. Fan grilling, a glide-out grill tray and the Handyrack round off a feature set that compares very well with other 90cm electric ranges.
Positioned as a premium 90cm electric range cooker with induction, the Classic Deluxe CDL90EISL/B is not a budget option. You are paying for a blend of build quality, brand heritage and a broad, well-thought-out feature set rather than the lowest price tag.
When you factor in two large A-rated ovens, a powerful 5-zone induction hob, catalytic liners, telescopic shelves, Handyrack and strong safety features, the specification goes beyond many simpler cookers. For a household that cooks frequently and wants a long-term centrepiece, that additional cost is easier to justify.
The very strong user rating (4.8/5 from 312 reviews) indicates that most owners feel they have had good value in terms of performance and reliability. If you will genuinely use the space and features, it represents solid value in the premium bracket. If your cooking needs are modest, you are unlikely to see the benefit of the extra spend.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EISL/B is an impressive 90cm electric range cooker that successfully combines traditional styling with modern induction technology. Its twin A-rated ovens, separate grill and five fast, responsive induction zones make it a very capable choice for family kitchens and frequent entertainers.
Ease-of-use and practical details, from catalytic liners and telescopic shelves to the Handyrack and robust door fixtures, show real thought for everyday cooking. A few omissions, such as the lack of lights in the second oven and grill, and the absence of full catalytic coverage, are minor niggles rather than deal-breakers.
If you have the space, budget and power supply to accommodate it, and you want a long-term, feature-rich range cooker from a respected British brand, this model is an excellent option. Those on tighter budgets or with smaller kitchens may be better served by a simpler cooker, but for serious home cooks this Rangemaster more than earns its place.
