The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRG/C is a 110cm-wide electric range cooker with a modern induction hob wrapped in traditional styling. Finished in Racing Green with chrome trim, it is designed to be a focal point in a larger kitchen as much as a hardworking cooking appliance.
With four cavities, twin 79-litre ovens and a five-zone induction hob, this is very much a premium, feature-rich cooker rather than an entry-level buy. It’s aimed at households that cook and entertain often, and want the capacity and control to match.
Owners clearly rate it highly: it holds an excellent 4.9 out of 5 from over 200 reviews, suggesting that real-world performance and reliability live up to the price tag.
This Rangemaster is ideal for busy family kitchens and keen home cooks who regularly juggle roasts, sides and desserts at the same time. With two full-size 79-litre ovens plus a separate grill and warming compartment, it handles Sunday lunch for a crowd without breaking a sweat.
It suits buyers planning a more premium kitchen fit-out who want the classic range look but prefer the precision, speed and safety of induction over gas. The glass induction surface, child lock, pan detection and residual heat indicators make it particularly attractive for households with children.
If you love baking, batch cooking or entertaining, the combination of a multifunction main oven, a second fan oven and a dedicated warming compartment gives you the flexibility to prove dough, roast, bake and keep plates hot all at once.
It’s less suitable for small flats or very tight galley kitchens: at 110cm wide and with a traditional, weighty build, it’s designed to be a permanent centrepiece, not something you tuck into a compact space or move around often.
The standout strength here is sheer capacity. Two large 79-litre ovens mean you can cook multiple dishes at once without compromising on space, ideal for large families or entertaining.
The five-zone induction hob offers fast, responsive heat with automatic pan detection and a boost function. You get the control of gas-style cooking with the added safety of residual heat indicators and child lock.
The multifunction main oven, with eight cooking functions and both conventional and fan options, makes it easy to match the heat to what you’re cooking, from slow roasts to delicate bakes.
Cleaning is made easier by catalytic liners on the sides of both main ovens and easy-clean enamel in the grill cavity, helping to break down grease during normal cooking so there’s less scrubbing afterwards.
Thoughtful touches such as the glide-out grill, Handyrack for roasting joints, telescopic shelf runners and electronic programmable timer all add up to a cooker that feels carefully designed for everyday practicality as well as performance.
Build quality and safety are reassuring too, with triple-glazed doors, automatic safety shut-off and overheating protection, underpinned by a two-year manufacturer warranty.
This is very much a premium purchase, and the price will be overkill if you simply want a straightforward cooker for occasional use.
Although the catalytic liners help, they only cover the sides of the main ovens; the backs and bases will still need periodic manual cleaning, especially after heavy roasting.
There’s no pyrolytic self-cleaning and no steam-assisted functions, which some similarly priced high-end ovens now offer.
The grill cavity lacks an interior light and the main oven doors don’t have removable inner glass, so getting into every nook for a deep clean is a bit more fiddly.
Finally, it needs hard wiring by an electrician and has a substantial connected load, so it’s not a plug-and-play upgrade and you’ll need to be sure your electrical supply can support it.
Living with the Classic Deluxe feels reassuringly solid and traditional, but the controls are straightforward. Rotary dials and a clear LED electronic clock/timer make it easy to see what’s on and for how long, while the programmable timer helps you time meals around a busy day.
The induction hob is smooth and flat, so sliding pans around is simple and spills are easy to wipe away once the residual heat indicators go off. Pan detection means zones only heat when there’s suitable cookware in place, which adds safety and avoids wasting energy.
Inside, wide doors and bright interior lights in the main ovens make it easy to check on food without opening the door and dropping the temperature. Telescopic shelf runners help you safely pull out heavy trays, and the Handyrack on the door of the main oven makes basting roasts more convenient.
Day-to-day cleaning is lighter work than with a fully manual cooker. Catalytic liners in the two big ovens absorb and burn off much of the grease during normal use, and the enamelled grill cavity wipes down more easily than bare metal. You will still need to occasionally clean around the liners and glass, but it’s not an arduous task.
Because it’s a large, heavy, freestanding range, you’ll want it installed in its final position from the outset. Once in place, though, it behaves like a permanent piece of kitchen furniture – always ready, always solid, and with storage space in the bottom-right drawer for trays or tins you use most often.
Performance is a strong point. The main multifunction oven offers eight cooking modes, including fan assistance, conventional heat and a defrost function. That flexibility means you can match the setting to what you’re cooking, whether you want crisp, even baking or gentle, all-round roasting.
The second oven is a full 79-litre fan cavity, giving you another large, even-heating space. It’s ideal when you need two different temperatures at once – for example roasting meat in one oven while baking puddings or reheating sides in the other.
Above, the five-zone induction hob offers a good mix of small and medium zones, with power ranging from 1.15 to 2.02kW. The boost function is handy for quickly bringing large pans of water to the boil, and induction’s instant control lets you drop to a simmer without the lag you get on ceramic hobs.
The third cavity is a dedicated full-width electric grill with variable control and a glide-out design, so you can position food precisely under the element and check on it safely. The fourth cavity is a warming compartment, perfect for keeping plates warm or holding food at serving temperature when you’re cooking a multi-course meal.
Safety and convenience features are comprehensive for a traditional-style range: automatic safety shut off, overheating protection, triple-glazed doors to keep heat in, a child lock and residual heat indicators on the hob. Together with the catalytic liners, electronic timer, acoustic end-of-cooking alarm and storage drawer, they make this cooker feel modern and well equipped behind its classic façade.
This Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium end of the electric range cooker market, and its price reflects that. You’re paying for a 110cm footprint, two genuinely large ovens, a fast and efficient induction hob and a very solid, British-built construction.
For households that will fully use the capacity and flexibility – regular roasts, batch cooking, big family gatherings and frequent entertaining – the feature set makes good sense of the price. You get multiple large ovens, a dedicated grill, a warming compartment and a raft of safety and convenience touches that cheaper cookers tend to skip.
The outstanding 4.9/5 rating from more than 200 owners also suggests that buyers feel they’ve had strong value from their investment, not just in terms of performance but reliability and day-to-day usability.
If you rarely cook for more than two people or don’t need this level of capacity, there are certainly cheaper cookers that will do the job. But as a long-term centrepiece for a busy kitchen, the Classic Deluxe justifies its premium billing.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL110EIRG/C is a big, confident range cooker that backs up its traditional good looks with serious modern performance. Twin 79-litre ovens, a responsive five-zone induction hob and a separate grill and warming compartment make it a genuine workhorse for ambitious home cooks and larger households.
Ease-of-use touches like catalytic liners, a glide-out grill, Handyrack, telescopic shelves and a clear electronic timer help it fit into everyday life, rather than feeling like a showpiece you’re afraid to use. Strong safety credentials and a two-year warranty are welcome additions at this level.
It is expensive and over-specified for smaller spaces or occasional cooks, and it lacks extras such as pyrolytic cleaning or steam functions that some high-end ovens now include. But if you’re designing a kitchen around a classic range and want the speed and control of induction, this model is a superb, well-proven option.
