The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EIWH/B is a 100cm electric range cooker with a 5-zone induction hob, twin large ovens and a separate electric grill. Finished in white with brass trim, it’s designed to be a real centrepiece in a traditional-style kitchen, while hiding a very modern induction hob on top.
This is a premium, British‑made cooker aimed at busy households that want restaurant‑style flexibility at home. With two full‑size ovens (79 and 82 litres), a third grill cavity and an induction hob, it offers more cooking space and control than a standard 60cm cooker.
Owners clearly rate it highly: with an average score of 4.9 out of 5 from 50+ reviews, feedback is overwhelmingly positive, especially on build quality, looks and everyday performance.
This Rangemaster is ideal if you cook often, entertain regularly or have a larger family. The two big ovens and extra grill cavity make it easy to handle a full Sunday roast with all the trimmings, batch cooking, or a buffet’s worth of party food in one go.
It suits buyers looking at the premium end of electric range cookers. The induction hob, A/A oven ratings, quality fixtures like the Catch‑rite™ doors and telescopic shelves, and classic styling all push it well beyond basic models in the category.
If you love the look of a traditional range but want the speed and control of modern induction, this is a strong fit. The hob’s pan detection and residual heat indicators add confidence for those new to induction, while experienced cooks will appreciate the precise heat response.
On the other hand, if you’re in a compact flat or rarely cook more than a couple of trays at once, you may find a standard 60cm cooker more practical and significantly cheaper. This Rangemaster really comes into its own in medium to large kitchens where it has room to shine.
The twin large ovens are a standout: 79 litres in the multifunction main oven and 82 litres in the fan oven give masses of space for big joints, multiple trays and batch baking. Having two full‑size cavities means you can run different temperatures and modes side by side without compromise.
The 5‑zone induction hob brings modern performance to the traditional styling. Induction is fast to heat, responsive and more efficient than ceramic or solid plate. Features like pan detection and residual heat indicators add safety and help keep running costs sensible.
The main oven’s eight functions and fan assistance give you real flexibility, from crisping pastry with top and bottom heat to gentle defrosting. Combined with the separate full‑width electric grill in its own cavity, it’s easy to juggle several dishes at once.
Cleaning is well thought through. Catalytic stay‑clean liners in the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, while the other cavities use easy‑clean enamel. This doesn’t eliminate cleaning altogether, but it does cut down on scrubbing.
Practical touches such as the Handyrack, telescopic shelf runners, glide‑out grill pan and triple‑glazed doors make day‑to‑day cooking safer and more convenient, especially when handling heavy trays.
This is a high‑end range cooker with a price tag to match, so it won’t suit tighter budgets. You are paying for capacity, finish and features, but there are cheaper 90–100cm models if you can live with fewer extras.
Only the main oven gets catalytic liners; the second oven and grill rely on enamel interiors. They’re still straightforward to wipe, but heavy users will have to factor in a bit more manual cleaning than on models with full‑cavity self‑cleaning.
The second oven lacks an interior light, which can be annoying when you’re checking bakes or multiple trays. It’s not a deal‑breaker, but it feels like a corner quietly cut on an otherwise premium appliance.
There’s no child lock on the control panel and the unit requires hard wiring to a 45‑amp supply by an electrician, so it’s not a simple plug‑in upgrade. If you’re renting or regularly moving, installation and future relocation are more involved.
Living with the Classic Deluxe feels reassuringly solid. The Catch‑rite™ door fixtures give the ovens a firm, quality close, and the triple‑glazed windows help keep heat in while letting you keep an eye on what’s cooking. The rotary controls and LED clock/timer are straightforward, so you’re not battling menus when you just want to get dinner on.
The induction hob is a particular highlight in day‑to‑day use. It heats pans quickly, simmers steadily and cools down faster than gas or ceramic surfaces. Pan detection means zones only activate when a suitable pan is present, adding safety and helping avoid wasted energy. The flat glass surface wipes clean easily, with no pan supports to dismantle.
Inside the ovens, telescopic shelf runners and the Handyrack make it safer and less fiddly to baste or check roasts. Having two large ovens means you rarely need to juggle trays or compromise on shelf positions. For most households, it turns big family meals from a logistical puzzle into a more relaxed routine.
Cleaning is manageable rather than effortless. The catalytic liners in the main oven help keep the worst of the splatter under control, especially if you run it hot now and then, while the enamel surfaces in the other cavities respond well to a quick wipe after use. Regular light cleaning will keep it looking smart without too much effort.
At its core, this Rangemaster is built around two A‑rated electric ovens and a powerful induction hob, giving you strong all‑round performance for both everyday meals and special occasions. The main 79‑litre multifunction oven offers eight cooking modes, including fan, conventional top and bottom heat and a dedicated defrost setting, so you can match the heat pattern to what you’re cooking.
Energy consumption figures are sensible for ovens of this size: 1.01 kWh in conventional mode and 0.88 kWh using the fan in the main cavity, with 0.78 kWh for the fan oven. For such generous capacities, that’s efficient enough not to punish you for using the full space when needed.
The 5‑zone induction hob gives you flexible pan placement with two different zone sizes and a power range from 1.15 to 1.85 kW. While it doesn’t boast flashy extras like bridging zones or automatic recipe programmes, it covers the essentials very well: fast heat‑up, excellent control and easy cleaning. Residual heat indicators and automatic safety shut‑off add peace of mind.
The dedicated third cavity houses a full‑width electric grill with a glide‑out pan and open‑door grilling. It’s ideal for finishing off dishes, crisping toppings or doing quick snacks without firing up a whole oven. Fan grilling in the main cavity offers another option when you want even browning over a larger area.
Feature‑wise, it ticks most of the boxes expected of a premium range: timer and programmable clock, triple‑glazed doors, large capacities, easy‑clean surfaces where it matters most, and thoughtful accessories. It skips more advanced smart features, but focuses instead on robust, proven hardware that home cooks can rely on.
This Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium bracket of electric range cookers, and the price reflects that. You’re not paying for a basic appliance – you’re investing in a large‑capacity, British‑made range with an induction hob, two full‑size ovens and a separate grill, plus a host of usability touches.
When you weigh the specification against the cost, it offers solid value for households that will genuinely use the extra oven space and functions. Cheaper 100cm models often compromise with smaller secondary cavities, ceramic hobs or fewer convenience features; here you get a more complete package.
The very strong user rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 50 reviews underlines that owners generally feel they’ve had their money’s worth, particularly around build quality, performance and longevity. If your budget stretches to it and you cook often, the price is justified. If your usage is light or you’re in a small home, a simpler cooker may make more financial sense.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL100EIWH/B is a superb choice if you’re serious about cooking and want a traditional‑looking centrepiece with modern induction performance. Its twin large ovens, separate grill and 5‑zone hob make it extremely versatile, while details like catalytic liners, telescopic shelves and the Handyrack show real thought for everyday use.
It isn’t cheap, and the absence of catalytic liners in the second oven and a light in that cavity are minor niggles on an otherwise thoroughly premium package. Installation also demands a proper electrical supply and a professional fitter.
For busy family kitchens and enthusiastic home cooks who want a long‑term, feature‑rich range cooker, this model is easy to recommend. If your budget is tight or your cooking needs are modest, you may be better served by a more compact or mid‑range option, but as an all‑round electric range, this Rangemaster is hard to fault.
