A statement range for serious home cooks

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110ECSB/C is a 110cm-wide electric range cooker with a six-zone ceramic hob, twin 79-litre ovens, a separate grill and a warming compartment. Finished in Stone Blue with chrome trim, it is designed as a centrepiece for a busy kitchen.

Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium end of the cooker market, and this model follows that pattern. You are paying for capacity, build quality and a very traditional look, rather than budget pricing.

With an owner rating of 4.8 out of 5 from multiple reviews, it is clearly well regarded in real homes, especially by people who cook often and need the space and flexibility a full range provides.

Who this range cooker is best for

This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households, keen home cooks and anyone who regularly entertains. Two full-sized 79-litre ovens, a dedicated grill and a warming compartment mean you can handle Sunday roasts, batch cooking and dinner parties without juggling trays.

It suits a premium to upper mid-range budget. If you are upgrading a kitchen and want a focal point appliance that feels solid and long-lasting, this classic-style range fits the brief better than most standard 60cm cookers.

The multifunction main oven, fan second oven and six-zone ceramic hob make it a good match for confident cooks who will actually use the different settings. That said, the clear rotary knobs, LED display and programmable timer keep things approachable for less experienced users too.

If you live in a smaller flat, rarely cook from scratch or simply do not need this much capacity, a narrower and cheaper cooker will make more sense. But for a busy family kitchen where the oven is on most days, this is very much in its element.

What we like

The standout strength here is space. Twin 79-litre ovens give you serious capacity, with seven shelf positions and adjustable shelves so you can load up multiple trays at once. The separate full-width electric grill and small warming compartment add extra flexibility for breakfasts, side dishes and keeping plates hot.

The main oven is multifunctional with eight settings, including fan-assisted, conventional and bottom-element-only modes. That means you can tailor the heat for everything from crisp pizzas to slow casseroles. Rapid Response™ helps the oven reach temperature more quickly, which is handy on busy weeknights.

On top, the six-zone ceramic hob offers a good mix of small, medium and large zones, with clear power levels and residual heat indicators for safety. The smooth glass surface is easy to wipe down compared with traditional solid plates.

Cleaning is helped by catalytic liners in both main and second cavities, plus easy-clean enamel elsewhere, so day-to-day splashes are broken down as you cook. Features like the glide-out grill™, Handyrack and telescopic shelf runners make it easier and safer to handle hot trays.

Build quality is a plus. Triple-glazed doors, Catch-rite™ fixtures and a solid-feeling traditional design give it the robust feel you would expect at this level. A two-year manufacturer warranty adds a bit of peace of mind.

Where it could be better

This is a substantial investment compared with a standard cooker, so if you will not use the extra ovens and hob space, it may feel like overkill.

There is no induction option here – the hob is ceramic. While it is easier to clean than some alternatives and offers multi-sized zones, it will not match induction for speed or energy efficiency, which might matter if you cook a lot.

Despite the premium positioning, there is no pyrolytic self-cleaning. Catalytic liners do reduce scrubbing, but you will still need to clean around them manually. There is also no child lock on the control panel, which families with young children may miss.

Finally, it needs hard wiring by an electrician and draws a high connected load, so you must be sure your home’s electrics are up to the job before you buy.

Everyday use

Day to day, this cooker is about having room to breathe. Being able to use a large multifunction oven for your main dish, the fan oven for sides and the separate grill for finishing or breakfasts makes meal times feel far less cramped than on a single-cavity cooker.

The rotary controls and LED display are straightforward, with an electronic clock and programmable timer to help you time dishes accurately. Rapid Response™ means you are not waiting as long for the oven to preheat, which makes it more appealing to use for quick midweek meals rather than resorting to the microwave.

The ceramic hob heats pans evenly, and with five power levels per zone you can move from a rolling boil down to a simmer without fuss. Residual heat indicators are a useful safety cue, especially in open-plan kitchens where people may brush past the hob.

Cleaning is relatively painless for a cooker of this size. Catalytic liners in the two large ovens deal with much of the grease during normal cooking, while easy-clean enamel in the grill cavity means a quick wipe is usually enough. The glide-out grill™ and telescopic runners make accessing trays more stable and less of a reach into a hot oven.

The sheer width (110cm) and depth mean you need a decent amount of kitchen space and a suitable run of worktop. Once installed, though, it feels very much like a permanent, professional-style fixture rather than an appliance you move around.

Performance and features

Cooking performance is a real strength. Both main and second ovens are large, A-rated for energy efficiency and fan-assisted, so you can expect even heat and the ability to cook on multiple shelves without constant tray swapping. The main cavity’s eight functions, including bottom element only and various top/bottom combinations, give you more control over browning and baking than a basic oven.

Rapid Response™ helps to cut preheat times, effectively making this big oven feel more responsive. An end-of-cooking acoustic alarm and electronic programmable timer mean you are less likely to overcook food if you are juggling several dishes.

The six-zone ceramic hob uses glass with halogen/ceramic elements beneath, offering multi-sized zones from 1.1kW small rings to 2.02kW large zones. This spread makes it easy to match pans to the right zone, preventing wasted energy and helping with gentle simmering as well as powerful boiling. Residual heat indicators and automatic safety shut-off add a layer of protection.

Convenience features are well thought through. The glide-out grill™ gives you a stable platform for checking and turning food, and the separate top grill cavity means you can grill while both ovens are in use. The Handyrack on the main oven door brings the roasting tray out towards you when you open the door, making basting and checking joints safer and easier.

Storage has not been forgotten either, with a bottom-right storage drawer to keep trays or tins close to hand. Combined with the warming compartment, this supports more ambitious meals where timing and serving temperature really matter.

Value for money

This Rangemaster sits at the premium end of the electric range cooker market. You are paying more than you would for a basic or mid-range 60cm cooker, but you are also getting two full-sized ovens, a dedicated grill, a warming compartment and a six-zone hob, all wrapped in a traditional design that will lift the look of a kitchen.

For households that will make full use of the capacity and features, the price is easier to justify. The A/A energy ratings, catalytic liners, Rapid Response™ preheating and thoughtful extras like Handyrack and telescopic runners all contribute to a better long-term ownership experience.

The strong 4.8 out of 5 user rating suggests owners feel they have had good value from their purchase, despite the initial outlay. If you simply need a functional cooker on a tight budget, this will be more than you need, but for a long-term, flagship appliance in a busy family kitchen, it represents solid value.

The two-year manufacturer warranty is respectable, though not outstanding at this price, so it may be worth considering additional cover if you want extra peace of mind.

Our verdict

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110ECSB/C is a big, capable and characterful electric range cooker that delivers on the essentials: generous capacity, flexible cooking options and ease of cleaning. The combination of a multifunction main oven, a large fan oven, separate grill and a six-zone ceramic hob makes it well suited to serious home cooks and larger families.

It is not the cheapest option and it lacks an induction hob or pyrolytic self-cleaning, so if outright efficiency, ultra-low maintenance or a tight budget are top priorities, you may want to look at other styles of cooker. Installation also demands a suitably robust electrical supply.

For those who want a traditional-looking, UK-made range that feels solid, looks the part and is clearly loved by its owners, this model is a very strong contender. If you have the space and the budget, it is a cooker you can build a kitchen around.
