The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100DFFRG/B is a 100cm dual fuel range cooker that blends traditional styling with a very modern spec. Finished in Racing Green with brass trim, it is designed to be the focal point of a kitchen rather than just another appliance.
With a 5-burner gas hob, two large electric ovens and a separate electric grill, it is aimed at households that cook a lot and entertain often. Dual fuel ranges from Rangemaster sit firmly at the premium end of the market, and this model’s feature set reflects that.
Owners score it around 4.8 out of 5 across well over a hundred reviews, which is a strong sign that day‑to‑day performance and reliability live up to its high-end positioning.
This Rangemaster is ideal for busy family kitchens and keen home cooks who regularly have several dishes on the go. The combination of a large 79L multifunction main oven, an even bigger 82L fan oven and a separate grill means Sunday roasts, batch cooking and dinner parties are all well within its comfort zone.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, long‑term purchase rather than a stop‑gap cooker. The 100cm width and traditional styling make most sense in a sizeable kitchen where it can sit as a centrepiece, particularly in period or country-style homes where the Racing Green and brass finish will really shine.
If you like the precision and responsiveness of gas for pans but prefer the consistency of electric ovens for baking and roasting, the dual fuel setup is a strong match. Features such as catalytic liners, a programmable timer and a Handyrack in the main oven will appeal to more experienced cooks who value both performance and convenience.
Those with very compact kitchens or a tighter budget may find a smaller, simpler cooker more practical. But if you have the space and want something that can comfortably handle big family meals and entertaining, this model is a very good fit.
The twin large-capacity electric ovens are a major plus. With 79L in the multifunction main oven and 82L in the fan oven, you have the flexibility to cook multiple courses at different temperatures without juggling shelves.
The 5-burner gas hob offers plenty of room for pans, and the inclusion of a powerful wok burner plus robust cast-iron pan supports makes it well suited to stir-fries, searing and large pots. Burner outputs from 1 to 4kW give a good spread from gentle simmering to fast boiling.
Ease of cleaning is thoughtfully addressed. Catalytic stay-clean liners in the main oven help break down grease on the sides, while easy-clean enamel in the other cavities keeps baked-on food from becoming a chore. This is particularly helpful when you use the cooker heavily.
Practical touches like the Handyrack (so you can baste a roast without reaching deep into the oven), telescopic shelf runners and a glide-out grill make everyday use safer and more comfortable. Triple-glazed doors help keep heat in, supporting the strong A/A energy ratings.
The very strong user rating, combined with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and solid British build credentials, add extra confidence that you are buying something built to last.
This is a premium range cooker and the price reflects that. For households that do not regularly use the extra capacity or advanced features, a smaller dual fuel cooker could work out more economical.
Despite the generous spec, there are a few omissions. The second oven and grill cavities use standard enamel rather than catalytic liners, so they will need more manual cleaning if you grill or roast fatty foods often. There is also no interior light in the second oven or the grill cavity, which makes it slightly harder to check on food without opening the door.
The cooker must be hard-wired by an electrician and installed by a Gas Safe engineer, and it does not come with a plug, cable or gas hose. This is normal for a range of this size but worth factoring into your total budget if you are upgrading from a standard freestanding cooker.
At 100cm wide and fairly deep, it is not suitable for smaller kitchens and may require cabinetry adjustments if you are replacing a narrower appliance.
Day to day, the Classic Deluxe feels like a serious piece of cooking equipment. Rotary controls and an LED clock with electronic minute minder keep operation straightforward, while automatic ignition on the hob means you are never fumbling for matches or a separate spark.
The hob layout gives you good spacing for different pan sizes, with sturdy cast-iron pan supports that allow you to slide pans between burners without lifting. The dedicated wok burner is particularly handy for quick, high-heat cooking, and the 75cm minimum distance required to a cooker hood is standard, so it should work with most range hoods.
Inside the main oven, adjustable shelves, telescopic runners and the Handyrack on the door make loading and basting large joints much easier and safer. The triple-glazed door keeps the exterior cooler to the touch and helps maintain even temperatures inside, while the interior light allows you to check progress without opening the door.
Cleaning is less of a headache than on many traditional ranges. The catalytic liners on the main oven’s sides work best if you run it hot after cooking greasy meals, helping to burn off residue. The other cavities use smooth enamel that, while still needing a proper wipe-down, is far easier to clean than rougher steel interiors.
The separate full-width electric grill is a nice touch in everyday life, ideal for quick cheese on toast, bacon or finishing off a gratin without tying up either main oven. Because it is a glide-out design, it is easy to monitor and turn food without having to reach too far into a hot cavity.
The core performance story here is power combined with capacity. On the hob side, the 5 gas burners spanning 1 to 4kW give precise control whether you are simmering sauces or rapidly boiling water. Steel hob construction and cast-iron pan supports deliver the solid feel you would expect of a high-end range.
The main 79L multifunction oven offers eight cooking functions, including fan assistance, top and bottom heat, and bottom heat only. That versatility makes it suitable for everything from slow-cooked casseroles and crispy pizzas to delicate baking, allowing you to tailor the heat to your recipe rather than working around a basic oven.
The second 82L electric fan oven is all about capacity and even heat distribution. With four shelves supplied, it excels at batch baking, large roasts or cooking multiple trays of food at once. Both ovens carry an A energy rating, with sensible energy consumption figures for cavities of this size, which helps keep running costs under control.
The third cavity is a dedicated full-width electric grill with variable control. Open-door grilling and a glide-out design give good visibility and control over browning, making it more versatile than a small grill section tucked into a main oven.
Safety and convenience features are well covered: automatic safety shut-off, flame failure devices on the burners, triple-glazed doors, a programmable timer and LED display all contribute to a reassuring, user-friendly experience. LPG compatibility (with a conversion kit, not included) is a bonus for homes not on mains gas, adding flexibility to where you can install it.
As a 100cm dual fuel range from a leading British brand, this Rangemaster commands a premium price, sitting towards the upper end of what you would expect to pay for a cooker in this category. However, you are getting more than just a stylish shell for your money.
Two genuinely large ovens, a separate grill, a powerful 5-burner gas hob with wok burner, catalytic liners, telescopic runners, a Handyrack and a host of safety features give it a richer specification than many more basic ranges. The traditional styling and distinctive Racing Green / brass finish also add to the sense of a furniture-like investment piece rather than a purely functional appliance.
The very strong user rating of around 4.8 out of 5 from a substantial number of reviews suggests that owners feel it delivers on its promises, which helps justify the outlay. If you will make good use of the space and cooking flexibility, it represents solid value as a long-term centrepiece for a busy kitchen.
If your cooking is lighter or you rarely use more than a single oven, you may struggle to get full value from what this model offers and could sensibly look at more modestly priced alternatives.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100DFFRG/B is a thoroughly capable, feature-rich range cooker that looks as good as it cooks. With two large electric ovens, a dedicated grill and a powerful 5-burner gas hob, it has the space and flexibility to handle everything from everyday family dinners to full-scale entertaining with ease.
Convenience touches such as catalytic liners in the main oven, telescopic shelf runners, the Handyrack and a glide-out grill make it noticeably nicer to live with than many simpler cookers. Build quality feels reassuringly solid, and strong user feedback backed by a 2-year warranty adds confidence.
It is undeniably a premium purchase, and the lack of catalytic liners in the secondary cavities plus the need for professional installation are worth factoring in. But for households that cook seriously and want a stylish, traditional range that can keep up, this model is an excellent choice that should serve for many years.
