The Rangemaster Nexus NEX110DFFSS/C is a 110cm wide dual fuel range cooker aimed squarely at households that take their cooking seriously. With twin 79-litre ovens, a separate grill, a warming compartment and a seven-burner mixed-fuel hob, it is designed to handle everything from midweek meals to big family gatherings.
Rangemaster is a well-established premium name in range cookers, and this model fits that brief: it is a substantial investment, but you’re getting a lot of capacity and flexibility for the money. The stainless steel finish and contemporary styling also make it a statement piece in a modern kitchen.
Owners clearly rate it highly, with an average user score of 4.9 out of 5 from 99 reviews, suggesting that real-world performance and reliability are very strong.
This is an excellent choice for larger households, passionate home cooks and anyone who regularly entertains. The two full-size 79-litre ovens, plus a separate grill and warming compartment, mean you can cook a full roast, sides and dessert at the same time without juggling trays.
It suits a premium to upper mid-range budget. If you simply need a basic cooker for occasional use, this is likely to be more than you need, both in size and spend. But if you want a centrepiece range that can cope with busy weekends and Christmas dinners for years to come, it makes a lot of sense.
The dual fuel setup – gas and electric – will appeal to confident cooks who like the instant control of gas for pans, combined with the precision and even heat of electric ovens. Features such as the Handyrack, telescopic shelves and catalytic liners also make it friendly for enthusiastic but non-professional users who still want day-to-day convenience.
It’s not ideal for very small kitchens or flats; at 110cm wide and quite deep, it needs proper space and professional installation by both an electrician and a Gas Safe engineer.
The standout strength here is capacity and flexibility. Two large 79-litre electric ovens give you a huge amount of usable space, so batch cooking, baking and multi-course meals are much easier than on a standard cooker.
The seven-zone mixed-fuel hob, with cast iron pan supports and a dedicated wok burner, is great for varied cooking styles. You can simmer, boil and stir-fry all at once, and the multizone feature adds extra versatility when you need it.
Ease of cooking has been well thought through. The main multifunction oven offers eight cooking modes, so you can match the setting to what you’re making, while the second fan oven gives reliably even heat for roasting and baking. The Handyrack makes checking a roast simpler and safer, and telescopic shelf runners are a welcome touch when handling heavy dishes.
Cleaning is made easier by catalytic liners on the sides of both main ovens and easy-clean enamel in the grill cavity. Combined with triple-glazed doors and an automatic safety shut-off, you’re getting a cooker that feels both solid and reassuring to live with.
The very strong user rating (4.9/5 from 99 reviews) backs up the impression that this is a well-designed, reliable range that owners are genuinely pleased with.
Price will be the main barrier. This is a premium range cooker, and while the specification goes a long way to justify it, it is overkill if you don’t regularly use the extra space and features.
There’s no pyrolytic self-cleaning function. The catalytic liners do help, but you’ll still need to put in some manual effort, especially on the door glass and any areas not covered by liners.
The separate grill cavity has an enamel interior and no interior light, and it requires grilling with the door open, which some users may find less convenient than a more enclosed, lit grill setup.
Installation is not plug-and-play: it needs hard wiring by an electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, with the LPG conversion kit and gas hose not included. That adds to the overall cost and planning required.
There’s also no control panel lock or residual heat indicators, which some families with younger children might miss on an appliance of this size and power.
Day to day, the Nexus NEX110DFFSS/C feels like a proper cook’s tool. Rotary controls and an LED electronic programmable timer keep things straightforward: you can set cooking times for the ovens and trust them to switch off automatically, which is handy when you’re juggling multiple dishes.
The layout works well in practice. The main multifunction oven sits bottom left, with the second fan oven top right, so you can spread dishes logically between them. The top-left grill is easy to access for quick cheese on toast or bacon, while the bottom-right warming compartment quietly keeps plates or sides at serving temperature without risking overcooking.
On the hob, the cast iron pan supports feel reassuringly sturdy, and the automatic ignition makes lighting burners simple. The range of burner power from 1 to 4 kW, plus the wok burner, gives good control from gentle simmering to fast searing. The mixed-fuel design and multizone mean you can adapt the surface to suit pans and cooking methods.
Cleaning is relatively painless for such a large cooker. The catalytic liners in the main ovens help break down grease during normal cooking, so most of the time a quick wipe after use is enough. The enamelled grill cavity and hob surface will still need regular attention, but the materials are designed to be wiped clean rather than scrubbed endlessly.
The triple-glazed oven doors help keep heat in and surfaces cooler to the touch, and the bright interior lights make it easy to check on bakes and roasts without constantly opening the doors.
Performance is a clear high point. Both main cavities are large, A-rated electric ovens: the main multifunction oven gives you eight modes, including fan-assisted, conventional top-and-bottom heat and a defrost setting. That flexibility lets you tailor the environment for bread, cakes, roasts or delicate desserts.
The second 79-litre fan oven is ideal when you need consistent, even heat across multiple shelves. It’s perfect for baking trays of biscuits, roasting vegetables or cooking different dishes together without worrying about hot or cold spots.
On the hob, the seven-zone mixed-fuel layout combines traditional gas burners with an electric multizone, providing a generous workspace. With a power range up to 4 kW and a dedicated wok burner, the cooker copes effortlessly with big pots of pasta, curries and fast stir-fries. Cast iron pan supports give pans a stable surface and add to the premium feel.
Convenience features are strong. Automatic safety shut-off, flame failure devices on the hob, triple-glazed doors and the sturdy Catch-rite door fixtures all contribute to safety and durability. Telescopic shelf runners make pulling out heavy trays smoother and safer, and the Handyrack is a genuinely useful feature when basting meat or checking a roast.
For maintenance, catalytic stay-clean liners on the sides of both main ovens reduce burnt-on residue during normal cooking, cutting down on deep-clean sessions. Easy-clean enamel in other cavities helps too, even if it can’t quite match the ‘wipe and go’ feel of pyrolytic cleaning. The 2-year manufacturer warranty for domestic use adds a decent level of reassurance for a major purchase.
This is a premium-priced range cooker, and it feels like one. You’re paying more than you would for an entry-level or mid-range model, but in return you get two genuinely large ovens, a dedicated grill, a warming compartment and a very capable seven-zone mixed-fuel hob.
The feature set is comprehensive rather than flashy. There are no smart functions or touchscreens, but the fundamentals – capacity, build quality, safety features and cooking flexibility – are all strong, and that’s ultimately what matters in a cooker you’ll use for years.
The very high user satisfaction score (4.9/5 from 99 reviews) suggests that most buyers feel they’ve had good value, despite the initial outlay. If you’ll make full use of the space and flexibility, it represents strong long-term value; if you mainly cook for two and rarely entertain, a smaller, cheaper cooker will make more financial sense.
The Rangemaster Nexus NEX110DFFSS/C is a superbly capable dual fuel range cooker for busy households and keen home cooks. Its twin 79-litre ovens, seven-burner mixed-fuel hob and thoughtful extras such as the Handyrack, telescopic shelves and warming compartment make large, complex meals much easier to manage.
It isn’t cheap, and it does require professional installation and a fair amount of kitchen space. The lack of pyrolytic cleaning, control lock and residual heat indicators are minor omissions at this level, but they don’t undermine the overall experience.
If you want a premium, contemporary-looking stainless steel range that focuses on brilliant core cooking performance rather than gadgetry, and you’ll actually use the generous capacity, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice. Those on tighter budgets or with smaller kitchens should look at more compact or simpler models, but for serious home cooking, it delivers.
