The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EIMG/C is a 100cm-wide electric range cooker with a five-zone induction hob, twin large ovens and a separate glide-out grill. Finished in Mineral Green with chrome trim, it’s designed to be as much a statement piece as a serious cooking tool.
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 electric range market. You’re paying for build quality, capacity and a very full feature set rather than budget pricing.
With an impressive 4.9 out of 5 rating from over 600 owner reviews, it’s clearly a cooker that people are happy to live with day in, day out, particularly in busy family kitchens and for keen home cooks who entertain regularly.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households and anyone who cooks frequently. With two genuinely large ovens (79L and 82L) and a separate 25L grill, it takes big Sunday roasts, batch cooking and dinner parties in its stride.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, long-term upgrade rather than a first-time range on a tight budget. The induction hob, catalytic liners and traditional styling all point to someone who values both performance and appearance.
If you like to experiment with different cooking methods, the multifunction main oven and powerful fan oven give you the flexibility to bake, roast and grill with confidence. Features like the Handyrack, telescopic runners and glide-out grill are particularly helpful if you roast a lot and want safer, easier access to heavy trays.
It’s also a good fit for modern homes that want the responsiveness and efficiency of induction instead of gas. Just note that it needs a suitably rated hard-wired electrical connection, so it’s best for kitchens where you’re happy to get an electrician involved.
Generous cooking space is a major strength here. The 79-litre multifunction main oven and 82-litre fan oven give you serious capacity, so you can cook multiple dishes at once or handle large joints and trays without juggling shelves.
The five-zone induction hob is fast, responsive and safer than traditional electric or gas, with pan detection and residual heat indicators to cut wasted energy and reduce the risk of accidents. The smooth glass surface is also much easier to wipe clean than enamel or gas burners.
Convenience features are well thought through. Catalytic liners in the main cavity help break down grease during normal cooking, reducing the elbow grease needed later. The Handyrack makes checking and basting roasts simpler, while telescopic shelf runners mean heavy trays slide out smoothly.
The separate full-width, glide-out electric grill is great for quick snacks or finishing dishes under direct heat without tying up an oven. Triple-glazed doors, automatic safety shut-off and a programmable electronic timer round off a very user-friendly spec.
Backed by a strong 4.9/5 owner rating and a two-year manufacturer warranty, it’s a model with proven reliability and real-world satisfaction.
The most obvious drawback is price: this is a high-end range cooker, so it won’t suit smaller budgets or occasional cooks who won’t make use of all that capacity.
Despite the premium positioning, only the main oven gets catalytic liners – the second oven and grill cavities use enamel interiors, so they’ll still need a more traditional clean.
There’s no dedicated child lock on the control panel, which may be a consideration in homes with very young children, especially given the induction hob’s touch-sensitive nature and speed.
Installation isn’t plug-and-play. With a hefty 16kW electrical connection and 45-amp fuse requirement, it must be hard-wired by a qualified electrician, adding to the overall cost if you’re not already set up for a range cooker.
On a day-to-day basis, this Rangemaster feels built for real cooking rather than just looking the part. The rotary controls and clear LED clock/timer are straightforward, so setting temperatures, functions and cooking times quickly becomes second nature.
The induction hob heats up pans extremely quickly and reacts fast when you turn the power up or down, which is reassuring when you’re juggling sauces and sides. Pan detection means zones only heat when a suitable pan is in place, and residual heat indicators help you see at a glance which areas are still hot.
The layout of the three cavities works well in practice. The bottom-left main oven is your flexible workhorse for baking and roasting, while the top-right fan oven is perfect for batch cooking or keeping dishes warm. The separate top grill cavity glides out, making it much easier to toast, grill or finish off dishes without reaching into a hot space.
Cleaning is relatively manageable for such a large appliance. The catalytic liners in the main cavity cut down on burnt-on grease, while the easy-clean enamel in the other cavities and the flat glass hob respond well to regular wiping. Triple-glazed doors help keep heat in and the kitchen cooler when you’re running both ovens for longer cooks.
Performance is where the Classic Deluxe earns its keep. The main multifunction oven offers eight cooking functions, including fan-assisted, conventional top-and-bottom heat and bottom-only element, giving you the control you need for everything from crisp pizzas to slow roasts and delicate baking.
The second 82-litre fan oven delivers even heat circulation on every shelf, helped by four included shelves. That makes it ideal for batch baking trays of biscuits, cooking multiple dishes at once or separating sweet and savoury courses without flavour crossover.
Up top, the five-zone induction hob covers everyday cooking brilliantly. With burner power between 1.15 and 1.85kW across two zone sizes, it’s flexible enough for small pans and larger pots, and the flat glass surface looks sleek in a traditional-style range. Pan detection and automatic safety shut-off add peace of mind, especially in busy households.
Useful extras make a real difference in daily use. The Catch-rite door fixtures give the doors a solid, reassuring close, while the Handyrack mounted on the oven door keeps roasting trays accessible when you open up. Telescopic shelf runners reduce the risk of spills when you slide heavy trays out to check or baste food.
Although there’s no smart connectivity, the electronic clock and minute minder, automatic ignition and well-designed controls keep operation simple and reliable, focusing on high-quality, predictable cooking performance rather than gimmicks.
This is very much a premium range cooker, and its price reflects that. You’re paying more than you would for a basic 90cm electric cooker, but the additional capacity, induction hob and thoughtful features justify the step up if you cook regularly.
The specification is strong for the money: two large A-rated ovens, a separate full-width grill, five-zone induction hob, catalytic liners, Handyrack, glide-out grill and telescopic shelves are not features you typically find on entry-level models.
Crucially, the high owner rating – 4.9 out of 5 from a large number of reviews – suggests the cooker meets or exceeds expectations in real homes, which is an important part of the value equation for such a big-ticket purchase.
If you’re simply looking for the cheapest way to get an electric range into your kitchen, there are more affordable options. But if you want a stylish, full-featured centrepiece that should serve you well for years, the Classic Deluxe offers solid value within the premium bracket.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EIMG/C is a superb choice for serious home cooks and busy households that want a statement range cooker with the performance to match its looks. The combination of twin large ovens, a responsive five-zone induction hob and a dedicated grill makes it genuinely versatile.
Features like catalytic liners, Handyrack, telescopic shelves and pan detection show that Rangemaster has carefully considered everyday use, not just headline specs. Strong user reviews and a two-year warranty further reinforce confidence in the purchase.
It is undeniably a premium buy and may be more cooker than you need if you have a small kitchen or cook only occasionally. But if you’re upgrading a family kitchen or designing a space around a capable, attractive range, this model deserves to be high on your shortlist.
