The Rangemaster Elise ELS110DFFSS is a 110cm dual fuel range cooker that combines professional-style looks with a very generous amount of cooking space. With two full-size electric ovens, a separate electric grill and a storage compartment, plus a 6-burner gas hob, it is clearly designed for busy kitchens and keen home cooks.
Rangemaster sits firmly at the premium end of the market, and the stainless steel Elise fits that brief: traditional styling, cast iron pan supports and sturdy doors give it a solid, built-to-last feel. It is not a budget buy, but its specification and finish are noticeably more luxurious than basic range cookers.
Owners rate it extremely highly, with a 4.9 out of 5 score from hundreds of reviews, which is a strong sign that real-world performance and reliability live up to the price tag.
This cooker is ideal for larger households, keen entertainers and anyone who regularly juggles several dishes at once. The two 79-litre ovens give you the flexibility to roast, bake and reheat simultaneously without compromise, which suits big family meals and dinner parties.
With dual fuel – a responsive 6-burner gas hob on top and electric ovens below – it is well suited to confident home cooks who like the precision of gas for pans and the even, reliable heat of electric for baking and roasting. The inclusion of a powerful wok burner also makes it attractive if you enjoy stir-fries and high-heat cooking.
Given its premium price and 110cm width, it is best for those planning a serious kitchen upgrade rather than a first cooker on a tight budget. You will also need the space for a full-sized range and to be comfortable arranging professional installation by both an electrician and a Gas Safe engineer.
If you live in a smaller property or rarely cook for more than two people, this may be more cooker than you realistically need. But for a busy family kitchen or open-plan living space where the cooker is a focal point, the Elise makes a lot of sense.
The standout strength of the Elise ELS110DFFSS is capacity. Two large 79-litre ovens mean you can cook a full roast in one cavity while batch-baking, slow-cooking or warming plates in the other, without feeling cramped for shelf space.
The main multifunction oven offers seven cooking functions, including fan, conventional top-and-bottom heat and a base-heat option that is particularly useful for pizzas and pastries. This flexibility helps you match the cooking mode to the dish for more consistent results.
On the hob, six gas burners with a 1–4kW power range, including a dedicated wok burner, give you plenty of room for multiple pans and strong heat for searing or stir-frying. Robust cast iron pan supports keep cookware stable and add to the premium feel.
Ease of cleaning is another plus. Catalytic stay-clean liners in the main oven help absorb grease during normal cooking, reducing the effort needed for deep cleans, while the other cavities use smooth enamel that wipes down more easily than bare metal.
Thoughtful touches like the Handyrack (a tray that swings out with the door so you can check roasts without reaching into the oven) and telescopic shelf runners in the main oven make everyday use safer and more convenient, especially when handling heavy trays.
The Elise is very much a premium product, and the price reflects that. If you only occasionally use your oven or do not need two full-size cavities, you may struggle to justify the extra outlay over a simpler range or large single cooker.
Despite the high-end positioning, there is no fully programmable timer for set-and-forget cooking and no dedicated digital display, which some buyers might expect at this level. Basic rotary controls are reliable and straightforward, but they do feel a touch traditional compared with more modern, timer-rich rivals.
Only the main cavity has catalytic liners, so you will still need to manually clean the second oven and grill cavity, which can be time-consuming if you cook a lot of roasts and grilled dishes. There is also no pyrolytic self-cleaning option anywhere.
Finally, the cooker requires hard wiring by an electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, and it does not come with a plug, LPG conversion kit or gas hose. That is standard for serious ranges, but it is still an added cost and something to factor into your budget.
Living with the Elise ELS110DFFSS feels reassuringly straightforward. Rotary controls keep operation simple, and automatic ignition on the hob makes lighting burners quick and fuss-free. Once you are familiar with the layout, it is easy to assign different dishes to each cavity and burner.
The 110cm width and traditional range styling give you a broad, clearly arranged cooking surface. Six burners mean you can comfortably simmer sauces while boiling veg and searing meat, without juggling pans. The cast iron supports allow you to slide pans around rather than lifting them over gaps, which is handy when you are cooking a lot at once.
Inside the main oven, telescopic shelf runners make it easier to pull trays fully out to check or baste food without risking tipping them. The Handyrack on the door is particularly useful for roasts: the tray swings out towards you when you open the door, so you can check or carve joints more safely.
Cleaning is manageable rather than effortless. The catalytic liners in the main cavity help keep the worst grease build-up under control as long as you run the oven hot periodically, while the other enamel-lined cavities respond well to a wipe-down after use. As with most large ranges, you will need to allow a bit of time every so often for a more thorough clean.
At 90cm high and with height adjustability, it can be aligned neatly with standard worktops, which helps it integrate into a fitted kitchen. The solid doors and Catch-rite door fixtures add to the impression of quality when you open and close the ovens, reinforcing the sense that this is a cooker built to be used every day.
Performance is built around two spacious electric ovens, each rated A for energy efficiency and offering 79 litres of space. The main multifunction cavity at the bottom left lets you switch between fan-assisted cooking, conventional heat and base heat, as well as using defrost and other settings to tailor results to different dishes.
The secondary fan oven on the top right is also large and fan-assisted, so you are not relying on a token second cavity. You can genuinely cook at scale, for example running trays of roast potatoes and vegetables on multiple shelves while using the main oven for meat or baking. Both ovens have interior lights so you can check progress without constantly opening doors.
A separate full-width electric grill in the third cavity gives you a dedicated zone for grilling bacon, cheese on toast or finishing off gratins. The variable electric grill and open-door grilling design are conventional but effective, and the extra space compared with a small grill compartment in a standard cooker is noticeable.
On the hob, six gas burners across four different sizes provide a useful range of heat levels, from gentle simmering to high-power searing on the wok burner. The 1–4kW power range ensures there is enough punch for large pans, while still allowing fine control when you turn the flame down. The steel hob surface and cast iron supports are robust and match the professional aesthetic.
Safety and build features are strong: flame failure devices cut the gas if a burner goes out, automatic safety shut-off and the sturdy Catch-rite door fixtures add an extra layer of reassurance, and the cooker is LPG compatible if you have the appropriate conversion kit fitted by a professional. Together, these details make it feel like a well-specified, long-term investment rather than a basic appliance.
This is an expensive range cooker, positioned clearly at the premium end of the dual fuel market. You are paying for a combination of generous capacity, all-gas hob flexibility, build quality and the Rangemaster badge, rather than cutting-edge smart features or minimalist styling.
Considering what you get – two full-size ovens, a dedicated grill, a 6-burner hob with wok burner, catalytic liners in the main cavity and thoughtful usability touches – the specification justifies much of the cost for households that will genuinely use the space and features. If you cook every day and entertain often, those extras can make a noticeable difference.
The exceptionally strong user rating (4.9/5 from a very high number of reviews) also suggests that owners feel they have got their money’s worth in terms of performance and reliability. If your priority is simply the lowest upfront price, this is not the model to choose; but if you want a flagship range that should serve you well for years, the Elise offers solid long-term value.
The Rangemaster Elise ELS110DFFSS is a serious cooker for serious home cooks. Its twin 79-litre ovens, separate grill and 6-burner gas hob offer more space and flexibility than most households will ever need, and the build quality, safety features and traditional styling all help it feel like a genuine centrepiece for a busy kitchen.
It is not without drawbacks: the price is firmly premium, only the main oven has catalytic liners, and the control setup is fairly traditional, with no fully programmable timer or modern display to speak of. However, those compromises do not seem to bother the many owners who rate it extremely highly.
If you have the budget, the space and a genuine need for multiple large ovens and a roomy gas hob, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice that should handle everything from weekday suppers to Christmas lunch with ease. If you cook less frequently or are working to a tighter budget, a smaller or simpler cooker will likely be a better fit.
