The Rangemaster Classic CLA110ECBL/C is a 110cm-wide electric range cooker with a six-zone ceramic hob, twin 79-litre ovens, a separate grill and a storage compartment. Finished in black with chrome trim, it has a traditional look but a thoroughly modern electric spec.
Rangemaster is one of the go-to names for range cookers in the UK, and this model sits firmly at the premium end of the market. It’s designed for busy family kitchens and keen home cooks who want generous capacity and flexibility rather than something compact.
Owners rate it highly, with an average 4.5 out of 5 from a strong number of reviews, suggesting that real-world performance and reliability generally live up to the brand’s reputation and the price tag.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households, regular entertainers and anyone who cooks multiple dishes at once. With two full-size 79-litre ovens plus a separate grill, it’s well suited to big Sunday roasts, batch cooking and Christmas dinners without juggling trays.
It’s a premium piece of kit rather than a budget buy, so it makes most sense if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen or are planning a long-term renovation where the cooker will be a centrepiece. The traditional styling and black/chrome finish work especially well in classic or farmhouse-style kitchens.
Because everything is electric with a ceramic hob, it’s a good option if you don’t have a gas supply or prefer the easier-to-clean smooth hob surface. Controls are straightforward rotary dials with an LED programmable timer, so it’s approachable for everyday family use, not just confident cooks.
If you live in a small flat, cook only occasionally, or are on a tight budget, the size, power requirements and price are likely to be more than you need. In that case, a narrower 60–90cm cooker would be more practical.
The standout strength here is capacity. Twin 79-litre ovens give you a huge amount of cooking space, and because the second cavity is a proper fan oven rather than just a warming compartment, you can genuinely cook two main dishes at different shelves and temperatures.
The six-zone ceramic hob offers plenty of room for multiple pans, with a mix of zone sizes and a dedicated warming zone. The smooth glass surface is easier to wipe down than traditional solid plates or gas burners, and the residual heat indicator adds a useful safety cue.
Both main ovens use catalytic liners on the sides to help break down grease, while the grill cavity has an easy-clean enamel interior. That means routine cleaning is simpler than on many older ranges that rely entirely on elbow grease.
Thoughtful details add to the day-to-day appeal: the glide-out grill makes it easier and safer to check on food, the Handyrack brings the roasting tray out on the door for basting, and the Catch-rite door fixtures and triple-glazed windows feel reassuringly solid and efficient.
An A/A energy rating across the two ovens is also reassuring for such a large cooker, helping to keep running costs sensible given the generous capacity.
This is a high-powered, hard-wired 16kW cooker requiring a 45-amp supply and professional installation, so it’s not a simple plug-and-play swap for every kitchen. If your electrics need upgrading, that can add to the overall cost.
While catalytic liners are very helpful, they only cover the sides of the main and second cavities. You’ll still need to manually clean the backs, bases and doors, and there’s no pyrolytic self-clean setting, which some other premium ovens now offer.
The separate grill cavity uses an enamel interior without catalytic liners, and it has no interior light, so it can be harder to see browning at a glance. Likewise, the second oven lacks an interior light, which is a minor but noticeable omission on a cooker at this level.
There’s no child lock on the control panel, and as with most ceramic hobs, the surface stays hot for a while after switching off, so households with very young children will want to be particularly mindful of safety around the hob area.
Day to day, the CLA110ECBL/C is designed to feel like a proper, substantial range. The 110cm width means you get a broad hob and well-spaced cavities, so two people can comfortably work side by side without getting in each other’s way.
The rotary controls and LED programmable timer are uncomplicated. Setting oven temperatures and timings is intuitive, and the electronic timer makes it easy to schedule meals to finish when you need them, particularly handy for weekday dinners.
The ceramic hob heats up quickly and provides even heat across pans. It’s also simple to wipe clean once cooled; spills aren’t trapped around pan supports or burners. The residual heat indicator is helpful for both safety and efficiency, letting you know when there’s still usable warmth in a zone.
Inside, the main ovens include multiple shelves and a Handyrack, which swings out with the door so you can safely baste roasts without fully removing the tray. The glide-out grill tray is similarly user-friendly, sliding out smoothly so you can check toast or cheese on toast without leaning into a hot cavity.
Cleaning is reasonably low-fuss for a large cooker. Catalytic liners deal with much of the everyday splatter on the oven sides, and the enamelled grill cavity and oven bases just need regular wiping. There’s no complicated maintenance regime beyond occasional deeper cleans and standard descaling or servicing isn’t required because everything is electric.
Performance-wise, the twin 79-litre ovens give you the flexibility to cook large meals efficiently. The main cavity is multifunctional and fan assisted, with eight functions including top, bottom and combined top-and-bottom heat, plus defrost. This allows you to tailor heat to everything from slow roasts and baking to crisping the tops of gratins.
The second oven is a full-size electric fan oven with its own A energy rating. It’s perfect for batch baking, side dishes or cooking at a different temperature to the main oven. For families or keen bakers, being able to run two true ovens at once is a major upgrade over single-oven cookers with a simple top grill.
Up top, the six-zone ceramic hob with a power range from 1.1 to 2.02kW per zone gives you ample control over simmering and boiling. The inclusion of a warming zone is particularly useful for keeping sauces or sides at serving temperature without overcooking.
The separate top-left cavity houses a variable electric grill with open-door grilling. Combined with the glide-out mechanism, it offers precise control over toasting and finishing dishes under the grill. Though there’s no fan or light in this cavity, the variable control and dedicated space mean you don’t lose main oven capacity when grilling.
Safety and build features are solid: automatic safety shut-off, triple-glazed doors to keep heat in, residual heat indicators on the hob, and Rangemaster’s Catch-rite door fixtures. Height-adjustable feet help you line the cooker up neatly with worktops, and the integrated storage compartment in the bottom right is handy for baking trays and pans.
This is a premium-priced electric range cooker, and the specification reflects that. You’re paying for sheer capacity, flexibility and Rangemaster’s established reputation in the range cooker market, rather than chasing rock-bottom cost.
Two full-size 79-litre ovens, a separate grill, six hob zones and thoughtful extras such as Handyrack, glide-out grill and catalytic liners all contribute to the sense of getting a serious, full-featured appliance. For households that cook a lot and use these features regularly, the investment is easier to justify.
The A/A energy ratings for the ovens are reassuring on running costs, considering the size of the cavities. The 2-year manufacturer warranty is reasonable but not class-leading, which slightly tempers the value proposition at this price point.
Given the strong 4.5/5 owner rating and high number of reviews, most buyers appear to feel they’ve had good value in terms of performance, reliability and day-to-day convenience. If you’re upgrading from a standard single-oven cooker, the step up in capability is significant and should feel worth the extra outlay if you truly use the space.
The Rangemaster Classic CLA110ECBL/C is a big, capable electric range cooker that delivers on the essentials: generous capacity, flexible cooking options and a hob that can handle a busy family kitchen. The traditional styling and solid build give it a timeless, premium feel.
It’s not the cheapest option, and the need for a 45-amp hard-wired connection means installation could be more involved than replacing a standard cooker. The lack of pyrolytic cleaning and oven lights in the second oven and grill are minor misses at this level.
If you’re a keen cook, have the space, and want an all-electric range that can cope with regular entertaining and large family meals, this Rangemaster is a strong, well-rounded choice. If you rarely fill a single oven or are working to a tight budget, a smaller, simpler cooker will make more financial sense.
