The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110DFFRG/B is a 110cm dual fuel range cooker that blends traditional styling with a very modern spec. Finished in Racing Green with brass trim, it is designed to be a centrepiece in a larger kitchen rather than just another appliance.
With two full-size electric ovens, a separate electric grill and a five-burner gas hob plus electric zones, it is clearly aimed at keen cooks and busy households who regularly juggle several dishes at once. Dual fuel gives you the responsiveness of gas on top and the even, reliable heat of electric ovens below.
Owners rate it extremely highly, with an average score of 4.8 out of 5 from well over a hundred reviews, which suggests that the premium feel and extensive feature set do translate into everyday satisfaction.
This Rangemaster is ideal for households that cook a lot and have the space for a 110cm range. If you regularly host big family gatherings, enjoy batch cooking or simply like to have mains, sides and dessert on the go at once, the twin 79-litre ovens and separate grill make life much easier than a standard single-oven cooker.
It suits buyers looking at the premium end of the cooker market. The specification, traditional styling and British build position it as a long-term investment rather than a budget buy, so it makes most sense if you will actually use the extra capacity and flexibility.
Confident home cooks and keen bakers will appreciate the multifunction main oven, fan-assisted second oven, triple-crown wok burner and the multizone hob area. There is enough flexibility here to experiment with different cooking methods without feeling limited by the hardware.
It is also a sensible option for those who want performance without endless complexity. Despite the feature list, you get familiar rotary controls, a clear electronic clock and timer, and helpful touches like the Handyrack and glide-out grill that simplify day-to-day use.
Two large 79-litre electric ovens give you serious capacity, so cooking a full roast with trimmings or multiple trays of baking is straightforward and far less cramped than with a standard cooker.
The main multifunction oven offers eight cooking modes, including fan and conventional heat, giving you the control you need to get better results from everything from slow roasts to delicate pastries.
On top, the five-burner gas hob with a triple-crown wok burner and cast-iron pan supports delivers fast, responsive heat and excellent pan stability. The additional electric dual zones add extra flexibility, particularly for simmering or keeping dishes warm.
Cleaning is easier than on many large ranges thanks to catalytic stay-clean liners in both main ovens and easy-clean enamel elsewhere. They help break down grease during normal cooking, cutting down on scrubbing time.
Convenience features such as the glide-out electric grill, Handyrack in the main oven, telescopic shelf runners, programmable electronic timer and Rapid Response quick heat-up mode show thoughtful design for busy kitchens.
Build quality feels reassuring, with triple-glazed doors, safety features like flame failure devices and automatic safety shut-off, plus a two-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.
This is very much a premium-priced range cooker, so if you do not need the second full-size oven or the extra width, a smaller or simpler model could represent better value.
Despite the price, there is no pyrolytic self-cleaning, and while catalytic liners help, you will still need to wipe down and clean some areas by hand, especially around the grill cavity.
The third cavity (the grill) and the warming compartment are smaller, so they are great as extras but not substitutes for a full third oven if you are used to a three-oven range.
Installation is not plug-and-play. It requires hard wiring by an electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, which adds to the overall cost and means you need suitable electrical capacity in your home.
There is no child lock on the control panel and no residual heat indicator on the hob, so families with very young children will need to be particularly careful around the cooker.
Day to day, the Classic Deluxe feels reassuringly solid and straightforward to live with. The front-mounted rotary knobs and clear LED clock and timer keep things familiar, so you are not constantly diving into a manual just to use basic functions.
The twin side-by-side ovens at the bottom are practical in a busy kitchen. The left-hand multifunction oven lets you fine-tune how you cook, while the right-hand fan oven is your dependable workhorse for evenly cooked trays of food. Adjustable shelves and multiple shelf positions, backed up by telescopic runners in key spots, make it easy to check on dishes without wrestling with heavy trays.
The glide-out electric grill in the top cavity is particularly user-friendly. It slides out smoothly on runners, which makes it easier and safer to turn food under the grill, especially when it is hot. Above the main oven door, the Handyrack is a clever touch for roast fans, bringing the roasting tray out with the door so you can baste or check meat without leaning into a hot cavity.
On the hob, the cast-iron pan supports feel sturdy and give you plenty of room for large pans. One-handed ignition makes lighting burners quick and safe, and the triple-crown wok burner delivers strong, even heat for fast frying. The gas hob surface is steel, so while robust, it benefits from regular wiping to keep it looking its best.
Cleaning is helped by catalytic liners on the sides of both main ovens and easy-clean enamel in the grill. Grease is absorbed and burnt off at high temperatures, so routine maintenance mostly comes down to wiping down the door glass and racks. You do not get a glass hob lid or any particularly advanced cleaning programme, but for a range this size the built-in liners are a real time saver.
Performance is a key strength of this range. The two 79-litre ovens give you a combined capacity that outstrips most standard cookers, and both are A-rated for energy efficiency. The fan assistance in each oven helps distribute heat evenly, which is especially useful when you are cooking on multiple shelves.
The main multifunction oven’s eight functions let you move beyond simple fan cooking. You can switch between fan, conventional top-and-bottom heat, bottom-only heat and defrost modes, among others. This flexibility is a big plus for bakers and anyone who wants more control over browning and texture.
On the hob, the five gas burners cover everything from gentle simmering on the small burner to intense heat on the triple-crown wok burner. Burner outputs run up to 4kW, so there is ample power for searing and stir-frying. The inclusion of a griddle and a multizone area adds versatility; it is handy for breakfasts, steaks or simply when you need a flat cooking surface.
The fourth cavity is a warming compartment, which is ideal for keeping plates or cooked dishes warm while you finish off other elements of a meal. Combined with the dedicated grill cavity rated at 2300W, you can, for example, grill vegetables while the ovens handle roasting and baking, then hold everything at serving temperature without overcooking.
Safety and usability features are well covered. Flame failure devices cut off gas if a flame goes out, the doors are triple glazed to keep more heat inside the ovens, and an end-of-cooking acoustic alarm plus programmable timer help prevent overcooking. Rapid Response mode is another highlight, bringing the oven up to temperature faster, which is invaluable on busy weeknights.
This Rangemaster sits at the higher end of the dual fuel range cooker market, and its price reflects both the brand pedigree and the specification. You are paying for twin full-size ovens, a powerful and flexible hob setup, a separate electric grill and a warming compartment, all wrapped in a distinctive traditional design.
Given the extensive feature set, British manufacture and thoughtful extras such as catalytic liners, telescopic runners, Handyrack and Rapid Response heating, the package stacks up well for anyone who will genuinely use the capacity and functions on offer. For occasional cooks or smaller households, much of that capability may go untapped, making it feel expensive for what you actually use.
Owner feedback is very strong, with a 4.8 out of 5 rating from a large number of reviews, which supports the idea that, for the right buyer, the cooker justifies its premium price by delivering long-term satisfaction and practicality.
If your budget is tight or your kitchen is smaller, there are cheaper and narrower alternatives that will cover the basics. But if you are creating a focal point kitchen and see this as a long-lasting piece of equipment, the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe offers solid value within the premium segment.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110DFFRG/B is a serious range cooker for households that love to cook and have the space to show it off. Its combination of two large, efficient electric ovens, a responsive gas hob with a powerful wok burner, and helpful features such as catalytic liners, a glide-out grill and the Handyrack makes it well suited to busy family kitchens and keen entertainers.
The premium price and need for professional installation mean it is not the right choice if you simply want a basic cooker upgrade or are working within a tight budget. Likewise, if you rarely cook for more than two people, much of its capacity will go unused.
For those investing in a statement range with genuine cooking clout, though, this Rangemaster delivers. Strong owner reviews, robust build quality and a carefully thought-out feature set make it one of the more compelling traditional-style dual fuel ranges available.
