The Stoves 60cm Double Oven Dual Fuel Richmond Deluxe Mini Range Cooker in Anthracite is designed for cooks who want the character and flexibility of a range, but only have space for a standard 60cm slot. It pairs a four‑burner gas hob with a multifunction main oven and a feature‑packed second oven and grill.
Stoves is a well‑known British cooking brand with a strong reputation for sturdy, feature‑rich cookers, and this model leans into that heritage. At this price it sits in the upper mid to premium bracket for 60cm cookers, but it brings across a lot of the technology usually reserved for full‑size ranges.
With a 4.8 out of 5 rating from around 100 reviews, owners clearly rate it highly for everyday cooking, from weeknight dinners to more ambitious weekend roasts.
This mini range is ideal for households that love to cook but don’t have the space for a full‑width range. At 60cm wide it will drop into a standard cooker gap, yet offers two generous ovens and a powerful gas hob, making it well suited to busy families and keen home cooks.
It’s a strong fit if you prefer the responsiveness of gas on top but like the even, controllable heat of electric ovens. The 4kW PowerWok burner, cast‑iron pan supports and supplied griddle will particularly appeal if you regularly stir‑fry, sear steaks or cook big one‑pan meals.
Budget‑wise, this is not a basic entry‑level cooker. It’s more appropriate if you’re willing to pay a bit more for smarter features like TrueTemp precise temperature control, Equiflow even heat, telescopic shelves and extras such as Steam & Infuse and an AirFry tray.
If you rarely cook or just want the cheapest possible cooker, this may be overkill. But if you’re upgrading an old freestanding gas or dual fuel model and want something that feels like a mini range centrepiece, it’s right on target.
Dual fuel setup gives you the best of both worlds: instant‑response gas on the hob and electric ovens for reliable, even baking and roasting.
The 4kW PowerWok burner delivers serious heat for wok cooking and fast boiling, backed up by sturdy cast‑iron pan supports and a supplied cast‑iron griddle and trivet for versatile hob cooking.
TrueTemp precise temperature control and Equiflow even heat distribution mean more consistent results across the shelves, whether you’re batch baking or cooking different dishes at once.
Two sizeable ovens (around 70L and 67L) with variable dual‑circuit grills, fan grilling in the second cavity, and telescopic PRO‑TRAC runners provide a genuinely flexible, range‑like setup in a compact footprint.
Thoughtful extras such as the Maxi Clock digital timer, AirFry function and tray, Steam & Infuse accessories and SteamCleanse assistance make it more capable and convenient than many standard 60cm cookers.
A 3‑year manufacturer warranty is longer than many rivals, adding peace of mind to the premium feel and strong user feedback.
There are no catalytic or pyrolytic self‑cleaning liners, so although the enamel is easy‑clean, you’ll still need to put in manual effort to keep the cavities spotless.
Despite its premium positioning, there’s no cooling fan for the door and it isn’t marketed as a cool‑touch door, so it can get quite hot during long, high‑temperature cooks and may need extra care around children.
The cooker requires hard‑wiring by an electrician and installation by a Gas Safe engineer, and there’s no power cable or gas hose included, which adds to the overall setup cost.
It’s natural‑gas only out of the box and not LPG compatible, so it’s not suitable for homes that rely solely on bottled gas without additional conversion options.
Day to day, the Richmond Deluxe Mini Range is designed to feel like a proper range cooker condensed into a standard slot. The front‑mounted rotary and touch controls are straightforward, with an LED Maxi Clock providing a clear timer and delay‑start options, so it’s easy to set up roasts or bakes to finish when you get home.
On the hob, the enamelled steel surface and cast‑iron pan supports feel reassuringly solid. The automatic ignition and flame failure safety device make lighting burners quick and safe, while the PowerWok burner is the obvious go‑to for large pans and stir‑fries. Pan Glide supports are designed to let pans move more smoothly between burners without lifting.
Inside, both ovens are well lit with halogen lamps, and the telescopic PRO‑TRAC runners mean you can slide shelves out to baste, check or turn food without wrestling with heavy trays. The generous shelf positions give you flexibility to place dishes exactly where they work best.
Cleaning is more traditional. Easy‑clean enamel and SteamCleanse help loosen grime, but without catalytic liners you’ll still want to wipe spills promptly. The supplied AirFry tray and Steam & Infuse accessories are genuinely handy for healthier chips, crispy veg or extra‑juicy roasts once you’ve incorporated them into your routine.
Height‑adjustable feet help you get a flush fit with your worktops, and the integrated splashback and counterbalanced lid help protect the wall and hob area, making the cooker feel well integrated in a modern kitchen.
Performance is a strong point for this cooker. The main multifunction oven gives you around 70 litres of space, more than enough for a family roast or batch baking, while the second 67‑litre conventional oven and grill effectively doubles your capacity for big occasions. Having two full cavities means you can roast in one while baking or grilling in the other without compromise.
Equiflow technology is designed to circulate heat evenly throughout the oven, helping to reduce hot and cold spots so trays on different shelves cook at similar rates. Combined with the TrueTemp thermostat, which promises precise temperature control, it’s particularly attractive for bakers who rely on consistency for cakes, pastries and breads.
The gas hob’s four zones cover most everyday needs, but it’s the 4kW PowerWok that stands out. That level of power is excellent for authentic wok cooking, fast boiling and searing, supported by durable cast‑iron supports and the included cast‑iron griddle plate for steaks, burgers or big breakfasts.
Feature‑wise, this model goes further than many standard 60cm cookers. The Maxi‑Grill dual‑circuit variable grill lets you choose between half and full‑width grilling, which is more efficient for smaller portions. Fan grilling in the second cavity speeds up browning and crisping. The Steam & Infuse system allows you to add steam and flavour directly into your roasts, while the AirFry function and tray cater for crisp results with less oil.
Convenience isn’t forgotten either. PRO‑TRAC telescopic sliders, removable inner door glass and an end‑of‑cooking acoustic alarm all make everyday cooking that bit easier. The lack of catalytic liners is the main omission, but the easy‑clean enamel and SteamCleanse function mitigate this to a degree.
With a price around the higher end of typical 60cm cookers, the Richmond Deluxe Mini Range is clearly pitched as a premium choice rather than a budget buy. However, the specification and feature set back that up: dual large ovens, a powerful gas hob with a 4kW wok burner, advanced temperature control and a suite of convenience features are not common at this size.
The three‑year manufacturer warranty is another plus, offering more protection than many rivals that only provide one or two years as standard. That, combined with the sturdy build, cast‑iron supports and extensive accessory pack (AirFry tray, griddle, trivet, Steam & Infuse kit), makes the cooker feel like a long‑term investment rather than a short‑term stop‑gap.
Importantly, owner feedback is very strong, with an average score of 4.8 out of 5 from around 100 reviews. That suggests the premium you pay is reflected in real‑world satisfaction and reliability. If you simply want the cheapest 60cm cooker, you can certainly spend less, but for buyers who will use the extra capacity and features, the overall value proposition is compelling.
The Stoves 60cm Double Oven Dual Fuel Richmond Deluxe Mini Range Cooker is a great option if you want range‑style flexibility in a standard 60cm space. It combines powerful gas hob performance, generous dual ovens and thoughtful extras like TrueTemp, Equiflow, AirFry, Steam & Infuse and telescopic shelves to deliver a genuinely capable cooking centrepiece.
It isn’t perfect: cleaning is more hands‑on than on models with catalytic liners, the door doesn’t stay as cool as some families might like, and installation will require both an electrician and a Gas Safe engineer. For homes on LPG only, its lack of LPG compatibility is a clear deal‑breaker.
For most gas‑connected households who cook regularly and want to upgrade from a basic freestanding cooker, though, this mini range hits a sweet spot. It justifies its premium price with strong performance, clever features and a reassuring three‑year warranty, making it a highly appealing choice for serious home cooks and busy family kitchens alike.
