The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100DFFWH/C is a 100cm wide dual fuel range cooker that blends traditional styling with a very capable feature set. With two large electric ovens, a separate electric grill and a five-burner gas hob, it is designed to be the centrepiece of a busy family kitchen.
Rangemaster is a well-established premium brand in range cookers, and this model fits firmly at the higher end of the market. It offers generous capacity, flexible cooking options and a smart white-and-chrome finish that suits both classic and modern kitchens.
Backed by an excellent 4.8 out of 5 rating from well over 150 owner reviews, it is clearly a cooker that users are happy to live with day to day.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households, keen cooks and anyone who entertains regularly. With a 79-litre multifunction main oven, an 82-litre fan oven and a separate 25-litre grill, there is ample space to cook a full roast, sides and dessert all at once.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, long-term investment rather than a budget buy. The dual fuel setup – gas on top, electric in the ovens – will appeal if you like the responsiveness of gas for pans and the even heat of electric ovens for baking.
If you enjoy experimenting with different cooking methods, the multifunction main oven with eight settings, plus the powerful wok burner on the hob, gives plenty of scope. Features like the Handyrack, telescopic shelf runners and stay-clean liners also make it a good choice for busy family cooks who want performance without endless faff.
Those in smaller kitchens or on a tight budget may find a narrower or simpler cooker more sensible, but for a medium to large kitchen and a serious home cook, this model is a strong fit.
The standout strength here is capacity and flexibility. Two full-sized electric ovens (79L and 82L) plus a separate full-width electric grill mean you can cook multiple courses or cater for big family gatherings without juggling trays.
The 5-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports and a dedicated wok burner offers plenty of space for everyday cooking and stir-fries, with burner power up to 4kW for fast boiling and searing.
The main oven’s multifunction design, with eight cooking functions including fan and conventional options, makes it suitable for everything from bread and cakes to roasts. A programmable electronic clock and timer help you time meals accurately.
Cleaning is helped by catalytic stay-clean liners in the main cavity and easy-clean enamel elsewhere, so everyday splashes are easier to deal with. The Handyrack on the main oven door and telescopic shelf runners are genuinely practical touches when checking roasts or basting safely.
Build and safety are well considered, with triple glazed doors, automatic ignition, flame failure safety devices and a sturdy traditional design backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
This is a premium-priced range cooker, so it will not suit smaller budgets. You are paying for build, brand and flexibility, which may be overkill if you cook more modest meals.
The second oven uses enamel rather than catalytic liners, so it will still need a proper scrub from time to time, especially if you use it heavily. Likewise, the separate grill cavity is enamel-lined and lacks an interior light.
There is no child lock on the controls and no residual heat indicators on the hob, which families with young children may miss. The ovens also use more traditional rotary controls and do not offer smart connectivity or advanced auto programmes, which some modern premium buyers may expect.
Finally, installation requires both a qualified electrician (for hard wiring) and a Gas Safe engineer, with cable and gas hose not included, so you should factor professional fitting into the overall cost.
Day to day, this Rangemaster feels like a proper cook’s tool. The gas hob lights via automatic ignition, and the five well-spaced burners give room for several pans at once, helped by sturdy cast iron supports that keep everything stable. The inclusion of a griddle and a high-output wok burner broadens what you can do on the hob without extra gadgets.
Inside, both main ovens are large and straightforward to arrange thanks to adjustable shelves. The Handyrack, which fixes to the main oven door, is especially handy when roasting meat – you can baste and check progress without leaning right into the hot cavity. Telescopic shelf runners make pulling out heavy trays feel safer and more controlled.
Controls are simple rotary dials with a clear LED display and electronic clock/minute minder. There is no complex menu system to learn, which many cooks will appreciate. The main oven’s interior light makes it easy to see your bake without opening the door, helping to maintain temperature.
Cleaning is less of a chore in the main cavity thanks to catalytic liners on the sides, which help break down grease when the oven is up to temperature. Elsewhere, smooth enamel makes wiping spills easier, though you will still need occasional deeper cleans, particularly in the fan oven and grill.
At just under 1m wide and 61cm deep, it is a substantial piece of kit but designed to fit standard worktop depths. Once installed, it feels solid and planted, very much a fixed feature rather than something you will ever want to move around.
Performance is a clear strong point. The main 79-litre multifunction oven offers eight cooking modes, combining fan assistance with conventional top and bottom elements so you can tailor heat to what you are cooking. This is particularly useful for baking and roasting, where you may want crisp tops, even bakes or gentle heat from below.
The second 82-litre fan oven gives consistently even heat and is ideal for batch cooking, family meals or extra trays when entertaining. With four shelves included, you can make full use of the height. Both main and second ovens carry an A energy rating, which is solid for such generous capacities.
Up top, the 5-burner gas hob covers everyday tasks and more adventurous cooking. Three different burner sizes and a power range from 1kW to 4kW let you simmer sauces gently or blast a pan for stir-fries. The cast iron pan supports and included griddle add to the sense of a professional-style hob, while automatic ignition and flame failure devices keep operation convenient and safe.
The separate third cavity is a full-width electric grill with variable control. Paired with the glide-out grill design, it makes toasting, finishing dishes and grilling meats easier to manage, as you can slide the grill tray out to check food without wrestling with it inside the cavity.
Convenience features are well thought through rather than flashy. Triple-glazed doors help keep heat in and the exterior cooler to the touch. The mark-resistant coating on the fascia, easy-clean enamel, catalytic liners and telescopic runners all contribute to a cooker that’s easier to live with over time, even if it is not packed with smart tech.
With a price comfortably in premium territory, the Classic Deluxe CDL100DFFWH/C is not trying to compete with entry-level cookers. Instead, it offers a high-end specification, traditional styling and serious capacity that justify the extra outlay if you will actually use what it offers.
You are getting dual fuel flexibility, two large A-rated electric ovens, a separate grill, a robust 5-burner gas hob with wok burner, and a host of thoughtful usability touches. For many buyers this replaces the need for multiple small appliances and gives the kind of control you would expect from a professional-style range.
The strong 4.8/5 owner rating from a large number of reviews suggests that real-world reliability and satisfaction are in line with the price tag. Factoring in the 2-year manufacturer warranty and Rangemaster’s reputation in this category, it represents good value for those specifically looking for a premium 100cm range.
If you cook simply for one or two people, or rarely need more than a single oven, a cheaper standard cooker is likely to be better value. But for households that regularly fill the ovens and hob, the cost is easier to justify over many years of use.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100DFFWH/C is a serious range cooker for serious home cooks. Its combination of two large electric ovens, a separate electric grill and a spacious 5-burner gas hob delivers the flexibility needed for family meals, batch cooking and entertaining, all wrapped in a classic white-and-chrome design.
Thoughtful features such as catalytic liners in the main oven, the Handyrack, telescopic shelf runners and a powerful wok burner help it stand out from more basic models. The very strong user reviews back up the on-paper spec and suggest it is a dependable, enjoyable cooker to live with.
The high price, traditional (rather than high-tech) controls and the need for professional installation mean it will not be the right choice for every household. But if you have the space, the budget and a genuine love of cooking, this Rangemaster is an excellent centrepiece for a busy kitchen.
