The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EIRG/B is a 100cm-wide electric range cooker with a five-zone induction hob, three cavities and a very traditional look finished in Racing Green with brass trim. It’s designed as a statement piece for busy family kitchens that want modern cooking performance without losing that country-style charm.
Rangemaster is a respected British brand and this model sits firmly at the premium end of electric range cookers, both in terms of price and specification. You’re getting two large ovens plus a separate full-width grill, along with helpful touches like catalytic liners in the main oven and a Handyrack for easier roasting.
With an impressive 4.9 out of 5 rating from around 50 owner reviews, it’s clearly a cooker that’s gone down well in real homes, particularly with keen cooks who entertain or batch cook regularly.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households and anyone who cooks most nights of the week. With two full-size ovens (79L and 82L) and a separate grill, it can comfortably handle Sunday roasts, dinner parties and batch cooking sessions without feeling cramped.
It’s a strong fit for buyers planning a premium kitchen refit who want a focal point appliance. The Racing Green and brass finish, traditional styling and 100cm width make it best suited to spacious kitchens rather than compact flats or galley layouts.
Serious home cooks will appreciate the multifunction main oven with eight cooking functions, the responsive induction hob with five zones and pan detection, and practical details like telescopic shelf runners and the Handyrack. It’s well suited to confident cooks moving up from a standard cooker or older range.
If you’re on a tight budget or rarely use your oven, this model is likely to be overkill. But if you want one do-it-all cooker that looks the part and can cope with big family meals and entertaining, it’s a very strong contender.
The five-zone induction hob gives you fast, precise heat and is much easier to keep clean than a traditional ceramic or gas surface. Pan detection and residual heat indicators add useful safety and efficiency.
Having two large A-rated ovens (79L multifunction main and 82L fan second) gives masses of flexibility – you can roast in one, bake in the other and still have the separate full-width electric grill free for crisping or cheese on toast.
The multifunction main oven offers eight cooking modes, so you can switch between fan, conventional, top or bottom heat to suit everything from slow roasts to delicate bakes.
Catalytic stay-clean liners in the main cavity help break down grease during cooking, making day-to-day cleaning far less of a chore. Easy-clean enamel in the other cavities also helps keep things under control.
Practical design features like the glide-out grill, Handyrack on the main oven door, telescopic shelf runners and triple-glazed doors make it far easier and safer to check on food, baste roasts and handle heavy trays.
A programmable electronic timer and clear LED display make it straightforward to time dishes accurately or set the oven to come on and switch off automatically.
The price is firmly at the premium end for electric range cookers, so you’re paying a noticeable amount for the Rangemaster name, styling and build quality as well as the feature set.
Only the main oven benefits from catalytic liners; the second oven and grill rely on enamel interiors. They’re not hard to wipe out, but they will need more manual cleaning than a fully self-cleaning setup.
There’s no dedicated child lock on the control panel, which may be a concern in homes with very young children, especially given the attractive, tactile rotary controls.
Despite being a high-spec model, it doesn’t include any smart connectivity or preset auto-cooking programmes, so if you want app control or guided recipes you’ll need to look elsewhere.
The unit requires hard wiring to a 45-amp supply by an electrician and does not come with a plug or cable, so you should factor professional installation into the total cost.
In daily use, the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe feels solid and reassuring. The rotary controls are clear and satisfyingly chunky, while the LED clock and timer are easy to read at a glance. Triple-glazed doors help keep heat in the ovens and the kitchen a little cooler, while also staying reasonably cool to the touch.
The induction hob is a standout. Zones heat up extremely quickly and respond instantly to changes in the controls, making it easy to simmer sauces or boil pasta without scorching. The flat glass surface means spills can be wiped away once the residual heat indicators show it’s safe, and the lack of pan supports keeps the surface uncluttered.
Inside the main oven, telescopic shelf runners and the Handyrack on the door make it very convenient to slide out heavy roasting trays for basting or turning. The generous shelf provision across both ovens lets you cook multiple dishes at once without juggling space.
Cleaning is reasonably straightforward. The catalytic liners in the main cavity quietly work away at splashes and grease during normal cooking, so you’re left mainly with the door glass and shelves to tackle. The enamel interiors of the second oven and grill do need an occasional deep clean, but day-to-day wipe-downs are quick.
The only real consideration is space and power: at just under a metre wide and with a 16kW electrical connection requirement, it’s an appliance that needs proper planning in terms of kitchen layout and wiring, but once installed it’s easy and rewarding to live with.
Performance is where this cooker earns its keep. The induction hob’s five zones cover everything from smaller pans to large pots, with power ranging from 1.15 to 1.85kW. The responsive control and even heat distribution make it ideal for searing, stir-frying and gentle simmering. Pan detection means zones only heat when a suitable pan is present, improving both safety and energy efficiency.
The main 79L multifunction oven provides eight different settings, including fan, conventional, top-only, bottom-only and defrost. This lets you tailor heat precisely to the dish, whether you’re baking a sponge, slow-roasting a joint or crisping a gratin. Fan assistance ensures even cooking across the shelves, useful if you’re batch baking or cooking multiple trays.
The second 82L fan oven is simpler, with a single fan setting, but that’s exactly what you want for straightforward, even heat. Its sheer size makes it perfect for big family meals or when you’re hosting and need extra capacity. Both main and second cavities carry an A energy rating, keeping running costs sensible for a large cooker.
The third cavity is a full-width variable electric grill with a glide-out tray. Open-door grilling gives you an excellent view and control over browning, whether you’re finishing off lasagne, grilling fish or making quick toast. Although there’s no interior light in the grill cavity, the glide-out design makes it easy to see what you’re doing.
On the safety and convenience front, automatic safety shut-off, residual heat indicators and triple-glazed doors give peace of mind, while features like the electronic programmable timer, Handyrack and telescopic shelves underline that this is a cooker designed for serious, regular use rather than occasional meals.
This Rangemaster sits in the premium price bracket for electric range cookers, and it doesn’t pretend otherwise. You’re paying for a combination of British build, classic styling, induction technology and a very generous amount of oven space.
For the money, you get two genuinely large, efficient ovens, a separate full-width grill, a fast and responsive five-zone induction hob, and helpful features like catalytic liners in the main oven, glide-out grill, Handyrack and telescopic shelves. Many cheaper ranges offer either smaller capacities, fewer functions or less refined hob technology.
The strong owner feedback – a 4.9 out of 5 rating from around 50 reviews – suggests buyers generally feel it justifies the investment once installed and in daily use. The two-year manufacturer warranty is decent, though not exceptional at this price point.
If you’re simply after the lowest-cost way to get a range cooker, this won’t be the right choice. But if you’re investing in a long-term centrepiece for a busy kitchen, the feature set, performance and user-friendly design give it solid value despite the high upfront cost.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EIRG/B is a superb all-rounder for households that cook a lot and want a range that looks as good as it performs. The combination of a five-zone induction hob, two large A-rated ovens and a dedicated grill makes it immensely versatile, while thoughtful features like catalytic liners, Handyrack and telescopic shelves make everyday cooking genuinely easier.
Its premium price, lack of smart features and partial rather than full self-cleaning setup are the main drawbacks, along with the need for a beefy hard-wired electrical connection. For smaller kitchens or occasional cooks, it’s likely to be more than you need.
For anyone planning a serious kitchen upgrade and wanting a traditional-looking range with modern induction performance, this model is an excellent choice that should serve a busy home very well for years.
