The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EIRP/B is a 100cm-wide electric range cooker with a 5-zone induction hob, dual large-capacity ovens and a separate glide-out grill. Finished in Royal Pearl with brass trim, it’s designed as much to be admired as it is to be cooked on.
Rangemaster is a premium name in range cookers, and this model sits firmly at the upper end of the market in both styling and specification. The induction hob, multifunction main oven and fan second oven make it a highly capable centrepiece for busy kitchens and frequent entertainers.
Owners clearly rate it: with a 4.9 out of 5 score from around 50 reviews, feedback is overwhelmingly positive, suggesting that the build quality, performance and everyday usability live up to the asking price.
This Rangemaster is ideal for families and keen home cooks who use their oven and hob heavily. With a 79-litre multifunction main oven, an 82-litre fan oven and a dedicated grill cavity, it’s built to handle Sunday roasts, batch cooking and dinner parties without breaking a sweat.
It’s a strong fit if you’re upgrading a kitchen and want a statement piece. The traditional styling with Royal Pearl and brass detailing suits classic or shaker-style kitchens, but the induction hob keeps things fast, efficient and modern under the surface.
Budget-wise, this is a premium option rather than an entry-level buy. It makes most sense if you’ll take advantage of the extra cavity, the multiple cooking functions and the convenience touches like catalytic liners and telescopic shelves.
If you cook occasionally or rarely fill a single oven, it’s probably more range than you need. But if you’re the default host for Christmas, cook for a large household or love experimenting with recipes, this layout and feature set are exactly what you’re paying for.
The combination of a 5-zone induction hob and three separate cavities gives this cooker serious flexibility. Induction brings rapid heat-up times, precise control and built-in pan detection with residual heat indicators, so it’s both responsive and reassuringly safe.
The main 79-litre multifunction oven offers eight cooking modes, including fan-assisted options, top and bottom heat and a defrost setting, making it easy to match the cooking method to the dish. The second 82-litre fan oven effectively doubles your main oven space – brilliant for multi-course entertaining or cooking different dishes at once.
A dedicated full-width electric grill in its own 25-litre cavity, coupled with Rangemaster’s glide-out grill tray, makes grilling safer and more comfortable, as you can pull the tray towards you rather than reaching into a hot cavity.
Cleaning is well thought through: catalytic stay-clean liners in the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, and the other cavities use easy-clean enamel. Features like the Handyrack, telescopic shelf runners and triple-glazed doors make accessing food and checking progress simpler and safer.
The A/A energy ratings and strong owner reviews add confidence that you’re getting a well-engineered appliance that should perform reliably over the long term.
The most obvious drawback is price: this model commands a premium and will be overkill if you don’t regularly use the extra capacity or multiple cavities.
While the main oven benefits from catalytic liners, the second oven and grill rely on standard enamel, so you’ll still need to put in manual effort to keep them pristine, especially if you grill a lot.
There’s no control panel lock, which might concern households with curious young children, and the grill must be used with the door open, which some buyers may find old-fashioned or less efficient.
Installation isn’t plug-and-play: with a hefty 16,000W electrical load and 45-amp fuse requirement, it must be hard-wired by a qualified electrician, so you’ll need to factor that into your budget.
Living with this Rangemaster feels reassuringly substantial. The rotary controls are clear and traditional, paired with an LED clock and programmable timer to keep you on top of timings. Once installed, day-to-day operation is straightforward and tactile.
The induction hob is a highlight in everyday cooking. Zones respond quickly to changes in heat, and pan detection means they only activate when a suitable pan is in place, helping with both safety and energy efficiency. The smooth glass surface also makes wiping up spills much easier than on a gas hob with pan supports.
Inside the main oven, telescopic shelf runners and the Handyrack – which mounts on the door – make it simpler to baste roasts and move heavy trays without reaching deep into the cavity. The triple-glazed door keeps more heat in and the outer surface cooler, which is helpful in a busy family kitchen.
The dedicated grill cavity, with its glide-out tray, is very convenient for quick toast, cheese on toast or crisping up the top of a dish without firing up a full oven. The trade-off is an open-door grilling design, so you need to leave space in front when in use.
Cleaning routines are less daunting than on many large cookers. The catalytic liners in the main cavity reduce baked-on grease over time, and all cavities use easy-clean enamels. You’ll still need to give the glass and grill area attention by hand, but overall maintenance is manageable for such a large appliance.
Performance-wise, this cooker is built for consistency and capacity. The main 79-litre cavity is multifunctional, with eight settings combining fan assistance, top and bottom elements and a dedicated defrost function. This lets you tailor heat precisely, whether you’re baking delicate pastries, roasting meat or crisping a pasta bake.
Alongside it, the 82-litre second cavity is a straightforward electric fan oven. It may only offer a single function, but that’s often all you need for even, reliable everyday cooking and baking. Having two genuinely large ovens – both with A energy ratings – is a major advantage over many smaller or cheaper cookers that pair one full oven with a compact secondary space.
The induction hob provides five cooking zones with a power range of 1.15 to 1.85kW, spread across two zone sizes to suit different pans. Induction generally heats faster and more efficiently than ceramic or gas, and residual heat indicators warn you when zones are still hot, boosting safety. The flat glass surface also looks sleek and is easy to clean.
Rangemaster’s feature extras add real-world benefits. The glide-out full-width electric grill reduces the risk of spills and burns when grilling. The Catch-rite door fixtures give the doors a secure, solid close, helping with heat retention. Automatic safety shut-off on the hob and ovens adds another layer of reassurance.
With triple-glazed doors, easy-clean enamel throughout and catalytic liners in the main oven, this range balances strong cooking performance with sensible cleaning aids. While it doesn’t pack in high-tech smart connectivity, it focuses on robust, practical features that experienced cooks will appreciate.
As a 100cm induction range cooker from a flagship British brand, this Rangemaster firmly occupies the premium end of the market. You are paying for both the aesthetic – the Classic Deluxe styling with Royal Pearl and brass accents – and the hardware: dual large ovens, a separate grill and a 5-zone induction hob.
In that context, the specification holds up well. Many cheaper alternatives either drop to a single large oven with a smaller second cavity, swap induction for ceramic, or skip convenience touches like catalytic liners, telescopic shelves and a dedicated grill cavity. Here, you’re getting a fully featured cooking station designed for heavy use.
The very strong owner rating of 4.9 out of 5 from around 50 reviews suggests that buyers who do invest in it feel they’re getting their money’s worth in performance and build quality. The two-year manufacturer warranty is decent, though not exceptional at this price.
Overall, it represents good value for committed cooks and busy households who will make full use of the space and features. If you mainly reheat and occasionally roast, a simpler and cheaper cooker will make more financial sense.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EIRP/B is a superbly capable, beautifully finished range cooker that combines traditional looks with modern induction technology. Its twin large ovens, separate grill and thoughtful extras like the Handyrack, telescopic shelves and catalytic liners make it a genuine workhorse for serious home cooking.
It isn’t cheap, and the lack of catalytic liners in the second oven, the need for professional hard-wiring and the absence of a control lock are small but notable compromises. For smaller households or occasional cooks, a more modest cooker will be better value.
If, however, you want a statement range that can comfortably manage big family meals, entertaining and everyday cooking with ease, this Rangemaster more than justifies its premium positioning and should be high on your shortlist.
