The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EISB/B is a 100cm-wide electric range cooker with an induction hob, designed to bring traditional range styling together with fast, efficient modern cooking. Finished in Stone Blue with brass trim, it is very much a statement piece as well as a serious cooking appliance.
With three separate cavities, two full-size ovens and a 5-zone induction hob, it is built for keen cooks and busy households who need plenty of space and flexibility. This is a premium model, and its price reflects that, but the specification and build are in line with Rangemaster’s reputation at the top end of the market.
Owners rate it extremely highly, with an average score of 4.9 out of 5 from around 50 reviews, which suggests it not only looks the part but delivers in day-to-day use too.
This Rangemaster is ideal for family homes and open-plan kitchens where cooking is a central part of daily life. The two large-capacity ovens (79L and 82L) plus a separate 25L grill give you more than enough room for Sunday roasts, batch cooking and entertaining.
It suits confident home cooks and keen entertainers who will actually use the multifunction main oven, fan oven and full-width electric grill. If you love planning big meals with multiple dishes on the go at once, the combination of three cavities and five induction zones makes that straightforward.
With its premium price and traditional styling, it is particularly appealing if you are renovating a period or country-style kitchen but still want the speed and control of induction rather than gas. The Stone Blue and brass finish is quite distinctive, so it will suit buyers who want their cooker to be a focal point, not something that blends into the background.
If you are on a tight budget, have a very small kitchen, or rarely cook more than one dish at a time, this will be more range than you realistically need. But for a long-term investment in a high-end cooker, it is a strong fit.
The twin large ovens are a major plus. With 79 litres in the multifunction main oven and 82 litres in the fan oven, you can cook a full roast in one while baking desserts or batch meals in the other without juggling shelves.
The 5-zone induction hob gives you rapid heat-up, precise control and built-in safety features like pan detection and residual heat indicators. It is more efficient and responsive than traditional ceramic or solid plate hobs, and safer around children as the glass surface doesn’t get as hot without a pan.
Cleaning is thoughtfully addressed. The main oven has catalytic stay-clean liners on the sides to break down grease during normal cooking, while the other cavities use easy-clean enamel. That means far less scrubbing compared with older enamel-only ranges.
Useful touches like the glide-out grill, Handyrack (which brings the roasting tray out on the door for easier basting) and telescopic shelf runners all make the cooker more practical and safer to use when you are dealing with heavy trays.
Build quality is reassuring, with triple-glazed doors, a Catch-rite door fixture and a 2-year manufacturer warranty, underlining Rangemaster’s premium positioning.
The price sits firmly at the premium end of electric range cookers, so you are paying for the Rangemaster name, styling and features. For some households, a simpler and cheaper cooker would be more sensible.
Despite the high price, only the main oven gets catalytic liners and there is no pyrolytic self-cleaning option. The second oven and grill rely on enamel, so they will still need occasional manual cleaning.
The second oven and grill both lack interior lights, which can make it harder to check on food without opening the door or sliding out the grill. That feels like a missed trick on a cooker at this level.
There is no child lock on the control panel and, as with all induction ranges of this size, it needs a hefty 16kW hard-wired electrical connection on a 45-amp circuit. If your electrics are not already set up for it, you will need to factor in the cost of professional installation.
Living with the Classic Deluxe CDL100EISB/B is all about space and organisation. The layout – main oven bottom left, fan oven top right and separate grill above – means you can dedicate each cavity to a different part of the meal and avoid flavour transfer or constant shelf reshuffling.
The rotary controls and LED clock/minute minder are straightforward, with a programmable timer to help you time longer cooks. Triple-glazed oven doors help retain heat and keep the outer surface cooler, which is reassuring in family kitchens.
On the hob, induction makes everyday cooking feel quick and controlled. Pans come up to temperature rapidly, and the automatic pan detection helps prevent empty rings heating unnecessarily. The smooth glass surface is easy to wipe over once cool, with no pan supports to remove.
Cleaning the main oven is relatively easy thanks to the catalytic liners on the sides, which work best if you occasionally run the oven hot to burn off grease. The other cavities use easy-clean enamel; they are not onerous to maintain but will need more elbow grease over time than a full self-cleaning system would.
At just under a metre wide and around 61cm deep, it has a substantial presence without being oversized for most standard kitchen runs, but you will want to measure carefully and ensure you have adequate space and ventilation, especially if fitting under an existing cooker hood.
The main 79L multifunction oven is the workhorse here. With eight functions, including fan-assisted cooking, conventional top-and-bottom heat and a dedicated defrost setting, it handles everything from low-and-slow joints to crisp pastries. The large capacity means you can cook on multiple levels at once.
The 82L second cavity is a straightforward electric fan oven. It holds up to four shelves, making it ideal for batch cooking, baking or acting as an overflow when you are catering for a crowd. Both main ovens carry an A energy rating, keeping running costs sensible for their size.
Up top, the 5-zone induction hob gives you a practical mix of zone sizes (two different zone sizes across five zones) with a power range from 1.15 to 1.85kW. It is not a high-wattage “power boost” gamer, but for typical home cooking it offers plenty of oomph and much faster response than radiant electric hobs. Residual heat indicators add a useful safety cue after cooking.
The dedicated third cavity is a full-width variable electric grill with a glide-out mechanism. This makes it easier to toast, finish gratins or grill meats while keeping a close eye on browning, without having to reach into a hot cavity.
Rangemaster also includes thoughtful extras that set it apart from more basic ranges: the Handyrack for safer roasting, telescopic shelf runners that make it easier to pull out heavy trays, automatic safety shut-off, and a Catch-rite door fixture that gives a solid, reassuring door action. Taken together, the feature set is very comprehensive for serious home cooking.
This is a premium-priced electric range cooker, and it will be overkill if you simply need a basic built-in oven and small hob. However, for the size, specification and build quality on offer, it represents solid value in the high-end range cooker bracket.
The combination of two genuinely large ovens, a separate full-width grill and a 5-zone induction hob means it can comfortably replace multiple built-in appliances. You are also paying for the distinctive Stone Blue and brass finish, which will appeal if you want a design-led kitchen.
The strong user feedback – an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 50 reviews – suggests owners feel they have had good return on their investment, particularly in terms of performance, reliability and ease of use.
If your budget stretches to it and you plan to keep it for many years, the breadth of cooking options, the practical features and the 2-year warranty make the price easier to justify. If not, more basic electric ranges at lower prices do exist, but you will be compromising on capacity, induction and premium detailing.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EISB/B is an impressive all-rounder for anyone who takes home cooking seriously. It combines huge oven capacity, a responsive induction hob and genuinely helpful extras like the Handyrack and glide-out grill, all wrapped in classic styling that will lift the look of your kitchen.
There are a few compromises – notably the lack of catalytic liners in the second oven, no interior lights in the secondary oven and grill, and the need for a hefty electrical supply. The price is also firmly in premium territory.
For busy families, keen entertainers and renovation projects where a statement range is part of the plan, it is a highly capable and well-loved choice. If you are prepared to invest, this cooker should serve as the heart of your kitchen for many years.
