The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100DFFCR/B is a 100cm dual fuel range cooker that blends traditional styling with a very capable modern spec. With three cooking cavities, a five-burner gas hob and a large, multifunction main oven, it is designed to be the heart of a busy kitchen.
This is very much a premium option rather than a budget buy, aimed at households that cook often and want the control of gas on top with the evenness of electric ovens below. A strong 4.8 out of 5 rating from over 300 reviews suggests owners are overwhelmingly happy with how it performs day to day.
If you like the idea of a classic cream and brass centrepiece that can easily handle Sunday roasts, batch cooking and dinner parties, this Rangemaster is clearly built with that in mind.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households and keen cooks who regularly use the oven and hob at the same time. With a 79-litre multifunction main oven, an 82-litre fan oven and a separate 25-litre grill, it has the space and flexibility to cope with family meals, entertaining and batch cooking in one go.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, long-term appliance rather than a stopgap. The dual fuel setup gives you the responsiveness of gas burners, including a dedicated wok burner, with the precision and consistency of electric ovens. That combination will appeal to competent home cooks and enthusiastic bakers who want reliable, repeatable results.
The Classic Deluxe styling, cream finish and brass trim are aimed squarely at those who care about how their cooker looks as much as how it performs. It will sit particularly well in traditional or country-style kitchens where a standard freestanding cooker might look underwhelming.
If you live in a compact flat or rarely cook more than a single tray of food, this appliance is likely to be overkill in both size and price. But for busy households with the space for a 100cm range and the budget for a premium model, it’s a very strong fit.
The three-cavity layout is a real highlight. You get a large 79-litre multifunction main oven for roasts and baking, an 82-litre fan oven for extra capacity, and a separate full-width electric grill so you can brown, toast or finish dishes without tying up an oven shelf.
On the hob, five gas burners with cast iron pan supports give plenty of room for multiple pans, and the dedicated wok burner offers high heat for stir-fries or rapid boiling. Automatic ignition and flame failure safety devices make everyday use both convenient and reassuring.
The main oven’s catalytic liners on the sides help break down grease during normal cooking, cutting down on scrubbing. Easy-clean enamel in the other cavities is another plus, especially in a cooker of this size.
Useful touches such as telescopic shelf runners, an included griddle, the glide-out grill and Rangemaster’s Handyrack (which lets you check roast joints easily) all make the cooker feel thoughtfully designed. The A/A energy ratings across the ovens are also good for a large-capacity range.
Backed by a 4.8 rating from hundreds of owners and a two-year manufacturer warranty, it carries a strong sense of reliability and user satisfaction.
This is a premium range cooker, and the price reflects that. If you just need basic cooking facilities, you are likely paying for capacity and features you will not fully use.
Despite the classic look, there is no mention of modern extras such as pyrolytic self-cleaning, so you will still need to give the ovens an occasional manual clean beyond what the catalytic liners handle. The second and third cavities rely on standard enamel rather than self-cleaning finishes.
The cooker requires both a 32-amp hard-wired electrical connection and installation by a Gas Safe engineer, with no hose or LPG kit included. That means installation costs can add up if you are not already set up for a dual fuel range.
There is no residual heat indicator on the hob and no control panel lock, so households with very young children will want to be careful around the controls and hot zones.
Day to day, the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe feels like a cooker built for regular, practical use. The rotary controls and LED clock/timer are straightforward, while automatic ignition on the hob and ovens makes getting started quick and fuss-free.
The five-burner gas hob, with robust cast iron pan supports and a steel surface, is well laid out for using several pans at once. The wok burner is particularly handy when you want strong, instant heat, and the burner power range of 1–4 kW means you can simmer gently or sear confidently.
Inside the ovens, adjustable shelves and telescopic runners make it easy to move trays around and safely pull dishes out for basting or checking. The Handyrack, which mounts a roasting tray to the door, is especially convenient for big joints, saving you from reaching deep into a hot oven.
Cleaning is helped by catalytic liners in the main oven and easy-clean enamel elsewhere, though you will still need to wipe down after use. The lack of removable inner door glass on the main cavity means cleaning the door itself takes a bit more effort than on some rivals.
The overall footprint (around 100cm wide) means it needs a decent run of cabinetry, but once installed it offers a stable, solid cooking platform that feels reassuringly substantial.
Performance is a clear strength here. The main 79-litre oven is fully multifunctional with eight settings and fan assistance, so you can choose the best mode for baking, roasting, grilling or defrosting. The fan ensures even heat distribution, which is especially useful when cooking on multiple shelves.
The second 82-litre electric fan oven provides straightforward, consistent heat for everyday meals or when you need extra capacity for entertaining. Having two large ovens side by side means you can, for example, roast meat in one while baking desserts or cooking sides in the other at different temperatures.
The third cavity is a dedicated full-width electric grill with a glide-out design. This makes it simple to toast, finish off gratins or quickly brown the top of dishes without bending deep into the oven. Open-door grilling is supported, and the included grill pan and handle are ready to go out of the box.
Safety and convenience features are well covered. Triple-glazed oven doors keep more heat in, automatic safety shut-off and flame failure devices add peace of mind, and the mark-resistant coating on the fascia helps the cooker stay looking smart. LED display, programmable timer and an electronic minute minder all help you stay in control of timings.
With A-rated energy efficiency for both main and second ovens and very generous capacities, the Rangemaster delivers strong performance for large meals while remaining reasonably efficient for its size. The dual fuel arrangement, large ovens, wok burner, Handyrack, catalytic liners and telescopic shelves together create a feature set that feels suitably rich for a premium range.
This model sits firmly in the premium end of the dual fuel range cooker market. You are paying for the Rangemaster name, the traditional Classic Deluxe styling, the 100cm width and the three-cavity, dual fuel configuration.
Viewed purely as an appliance, the combination of two large A-rated electric ovens, a separate full-width grill, a five-burner gas hob with wok burner, catalytic liners and thoughtful usability features does justify a higher price than basic 90cm or single-oven cookers. It is designed to be a long-term fixture in your kitchen rather than a short-lived purchase.
The excellent 4.8/5 owner rating from over 300 reviews strongly suggests that buyers feel they have received good value, particularly given the build quality and everyday practicality. The inclusion of a two-year manufacturer warranty adds some extra reassurance in this price bracket.
If you only occasionally cook or have a tight budget, there are cheaper, simpler cookers that will meet your needs. But for serious home cooks with the space and the budget for a statement range, the Classic Deluxe makes a convincing case for its higher asking price.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100DFFCR/B is a highly capable, characterful range cooker that lives up to its premium positioning. It combines generous oven capacity, a flexible three-cavity layout and a responsive five-burner gas hob in a design that looks right at home in traditional and country-style kitchens.
Its strengths lie in everyday practicality: two large A-rated electric ovens, a separate full-width grill, catalytic liners, sturdy cast iron supports, a powerful wok burner and handy touches like the Handyrack and telescopic shelves. High owner satisfaction scores back up the impression of solid performance and reliability.
The main downsides are the high purchase and installation costs, plus the absence of top-end extras such as pyrolytic self-cleaning or child lock features. For smaller homes or light cooks, it is more cooker than you will realistically use.
For households that cook often, entertain regularly and want a classic cream-and-brass centrepiece they can rely on for years, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice.
