A serious range cooker for busy family kitchens

The Rangemaster Nexus SE NEXSE110DFFSS/C is a 110cm dual fuel range cooker designed for households that take cooking seriously. With four cavities, a seven-burner gas hob and a contemporary stainless steel finish, it is very much a premium centrepiece rather than a modest upgrade.

Rangemaster is a long-established British brand and it shows here: you get two full-size electric ovens, a separate grill and a dedicated slow cook oven, all with thoughtful touches like catalytic liners, a Handyrack roasting tray and a bread proving drawer. Dual fuel gives you the responsiveness of gas on top and the even, reliable heat of electric ovens below.

Owners rate it extremely highly, with an average score of 4.9 out of 5 from well over a hundred reviews, which suggests it not only looks the part but delivers in day-to-day use. It is a sizeable investment, but on paper at least, the spec justifies its flagship positioning.

Who this range cooker is best for

This model is ideal for larger households, keen home cooks and anyone who regularly entertains. With two 79-litre ovens, a separate grill and a slow cook oven, you can comfortably handle a full roast with all the trimmings, batch cooking or a buffet spread without running out of space.

It suits buyers looking for a premium, long-term appliance rather than a budget stopgap. The wide 110cm footprint and substantial feature set make the most sense in a medium to large kitchen where the cooker can act as the main focal point.

If you enjoy baking and bread making, the dedicated bread proving drawer and multifunction main oven are particularly appealing. Those who like slow-cooked stews, joints or casseroles will also appreciate the dedicated slow cook oven, freeing up the main ovens for other dishes.

This is not the right choice for a compact flat or very tight budget. It’s better suited to confident cooks, growing families and serious enthusiasts upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker who want dual fuel control and generous capacity.

What we like

The twin 79-litre electric ovens are a standout, giving you a huge amount of flexible space for everyday meals and big family gatherings. Being fan-assisted (with multifunction options in the main cavity) helps ensure even results across multiple shelves.

The seven-burner gas hob, with cast iron pan supports and a wok burner, offers loads of room for pans and precise control for everything from gentle simmering to high-heat stir-fries. The included griddle and multi-zone area add extra versatility for searing or breakfast-style cooking.

Convenience has been well thought through. Catalytic liners in both main ovens help break down grease during normal cooking, while easy-clean enamel in the grill cavity keeps that area simpler to wipe out. The Handyrack clipped to the door makes basting roasts safer and easier, and telescopic shelf runners improve access to heavy trays.

Features like Rapid Response preheat, the bread proving drawer and a dedicated slow cook oven elevate this above many standard ranges, letting you tackle a wider variety of dishes with less faff. Automatic ignition, a programmable timer and triple-glazed doors round off a very user-friendly, safety-conscious package.

Where it could be better

The main downside will be the price, which is firmly at the premium end of dual fuel range cookers. You are paying for brand, build and features, but it may be overkill if you will not regularly use all four cavities.

Installation costs are worth factoring in. It needs hard wiring by an electrician and a Gas Safe engineer for the hob, and neither the electrical cable nor gas hose is included. That’s standard for serious range cookers, but still an extra outlay on top of the purchase price.

Despite good cleaning aids, there is no full pyrolytic self-clean function; you still need to wipe down the interiors, especially the enamelled grill cavity and slow cook oven. There is also no control panel lock or residual heat indicator on the hob, so households with very young children will need to be especially mindful.

Finally, at 110cm wide and 64cm deep, this range demands plenty of space. If your kitchen layout is tight, fitting it in alongside cabinetry and a suitable extractor may be challenging.

Everyday use

Day to day, the Nexus SE is designed to feel reassuringly solid and straightforward. Rotary controls and a clear LED display keep operation intuitive, while automatic ignition on the hob saves fiddling with matches or lighters. The triple-glazed doors help keep heat in the cavities and the exterior cooler to the touch than simpler designs.

The layout of the cavities makes practical sense: the main multifunction oven sits bottom left for your larger bakes and roasts, the second full-size fan oven on the right is ideal as a dedicated dessert or side-dish oven, while the grill and slow cook oven sit at eye level for quick checks. The Handyrack and telescopic runners mean you are not wrestling with heavy trays at awkward angles.

On the hob, seven burners spread across 110cm give you comfortable spacing between pans, and cast iron pan supports feel robust when you are moving cookware around. The multi-zone area and supplied griddle are handy for cooking bacon, steaks or vegetables without needing an extra pan.

Cleaning is less of a chore than you might expect for something this big. Catalytic liners in both large ovens help break down splatters as you cook, and easy-clean enamel in the grill cavity wipes down without much effort. You will still need to give the interiors a proper wipe from time to time, but you are not starting from baked-on grease everywhere. The stainless steel front will show fingerprints, so a quick buff with a soft cloth becomes part of the weekly routine.

Performance and features

Performance-wise, the Nexus SE is geared towards consistent, versatile cooking. The main 79-litre multifunction oven offers eight functions, combining top and bottom elements, fan assistance and a dedicated defrost mode, so you can match the heat to what you are cooking. The second 79-litre fan oven provides evenly distributed heat that is ideal for batch baking or running at a different temperature to the main oven.

Energy efficiency is respectable for a large range, with both main ovens rated A and reasonably low energy consumption figures for conventional and fan modes. The triple-glazed doors help retain heat, and the Rapid Response function quickly brings the oven up to temperature, which is particularly useful when you just want to get dinner underway without a long wait.

The hob covers a broad power range from 1kW up to 4kW, so you can gently melt chocolate on a small burner or blast heat through a wok on the high-output zone. Cast iron supports provide stability and a premium feel, while the flame failure safety device cuts gas if the flame goes out, adding a layer of reassurance.

Beyond core cooking, the extras really set this model apart. The bread proving drawer gives you a warm, controlled environment for dough, which keen bakers will love. The dedicated slow cook oven takes care of stews, casseroles and pulled meats over several hours without tying up your main ovens. The glide-out full-width electric grill with its own cavity is ideal for toast, cheese on toast or finishing off dishes with a browned top.

Although there’s no Wi‑Fi or app integration, the combination of twin large ovens, grill, slow cook oven, multi-zone gas hob, catalytic liners and Rapid Response means this cooker is exceptionally well-featured for traditional and adventurous home cooking alike.

Value for money

This Rangemaster clearly sits at the premium end of the dual fuel range cooker market, and its price reflects that. You are paying significantly more than an entry-level 90cm or basic 110cm range, but you are also getting a specification and build quality that many cheaper models simply cannot match.

The twin full-size ovens, separate grill, slow cook oven, seven-burner gas hob with wok burner, bread proving drawer, Rapid Response preheat and catalytic liners amount to a very comprehensive feature list. For a household that will genuinely use the additional capacity and flexibility, that premium starts to look like a sensible long-term investment rather than a luxury.

The strong 4.9/5 user rating from a large number of reviews underpins the value proposition: people who have bought it, installed it and cooked on it extensively are overwhelmingly happy with their purchase. The two-year manufacturer warranty is decent, though not exceptional at this price point; longer cover would have strengthened the value case further.

If you only cook simple meals for one or two people, or you are tight on budget, there are more modest models that will do the job for far less. But for committed home cooks who want a flagship range as the heart of the kitchen, the Nexus SE offers convincing value for its class.

Our verdict

The Rangemaster Nexus SE NEXSE110DFFSS/C is a highly capable, thoughtfully designed dual fuel range cooker that justifies its premium label. Huge oven space, a versatile seven-burner hob, a dedicated slow cook oven and baker-friendly proving drawer make it a serious tool for ambitious home cooking and regular entertaining.

It is not without drawbacks: the upfront cost, professional installation requirements and the absence of pyrolytic cleaning or a control lock may give some buyers pause. It also demands a generous kitchen footprint. But these are sensible trade-offs rather than deal-breakers for the audience it targets.

If you have the space, budget and inclination to make cooking a central part of home life, this Rangemaster is a superb choice that should serve you well for many years. If your needs are simpler or your kitchen smaller, a more compact and affordable cooker will likely make more sense.
