The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFWH/B is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker that pairs a powerful gas hob with two electric ovens and a separate electric grill. Finished in white with brass trim, it’s clearly aimed at buyers who want traditional styling with modern cooking performance.
This is very much a premium appliance, with a price tag to match. In return you get generous oven capacities, a five-burner gas hob including a dedicated wok burner, and a long list of convenience touches you don’t see on cheaper cookers.
With an average user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from well over 300 reviews, it’s also a model that’s proven itself in busy kitchens, which adds confidence if you’re investing in a long-term centrepiece for your cooking space.
This Rangemaster is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and want the extra space and flexibility of a range. The 79-litre multifunction main oven, 67-litre fan oven and separate grill give you room to juggle roasts, sides and desserts without compromise.
It suits keen home cooks and enthusiastic entertainers who will actually use features like Rapid Response preheating, fan grilling and the triple-crown wok burner. If you regularly host Sunday lunches, dinner parties or batch-cook for the freezer, the three-cavity layout is a real asset.
Budget-wise, this is a premium choice rather than an entry-level buy. It makes most sense if you see the cooker as a long-term investment in your kitchen and care about both performance and classic styling.
If you’re in a small flat or rarely cook for more than two, it’s probably more cooker than you need, and a standard single or double oven cooker would be a more sensible, space-saving option.
The three separate cavities give excellent flexibility: a large 79-litre multifunction main oven, a 67-litre fan oven and a dedicated electric grill mean you can bake, roast and brown all at once without flavour transfer.
The five-burner gas hob is well laid out, with sturdy cast-iron pan supports and a powerful 4 kW triple-crown wok burner for fast stir-fries and searing. Automatic ignition and flame failure devices on the burners add safety and convenience.
The main oven’s catalytic liners help break down grease on the sides during normal cooking, significantly cutting down on scrubbing, while easy-clean enamel in the other cavities makes wipe-downs straightforward.
Handy touches such as the programmable electronic clock and minute minder, telescopic shelf runners, Handyrack roasting tray on the oven door and Rangemaster’s glide-out grill make day-to-day use smoother and safer.
Energy efficiency is solid, with both ovens rated A and reasonable consumption figures for such generous capacities, which helps keep running costs under control for a large cooker.
The price is firmly at the high end for a 90cm dual fuel range cooker, so it won’t suit tighter budgets, even though the build and feature set help justify the cost.
Only the main oven has catalytic liners, so you’ll still need to put more elbow grease into cleaning the second oven and grill, which use enamel interiors.
There’s no child lock on the control panel, which may be a concern in households with very young children, especially given the front-mounted knobs.
The second oven lacks an interior light and extra functions beyond fan cooking, which is slightly disappointing at this price, even if it still performs well for straightforward baking and roasting.
Living with the Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFWH/B is all about having space and control. The front-mounted rotary knobs and clear LED display make it easy to set oven temperatures and timers at a glance, while automatic ignition on the hob speeds up getting pans on the go.
The Rapid Response function in the main oven is particularly handy when you’re in a rush, bringing the cavity up to temperature quickly so you’re not left waiting around. Once you’re cooking, the triple-glazed door and bright interior light on the main oven make it easy to check on bakes without losing heat.
The glide-out grill and telescopic shelves feel reassuringly solid and make it safer to turn food or baste roasts, as you’re not reaching into a hot cavity. The Handyrack, which lets you hang a roasting tray on the door, is a small detail that becomes surprisingly useful on busy weekends.
Cleaning is relatively painless for such a large appliance: catalytic liners in the main oven deal with much of the everyday splatter, while smooth enamel in the other cavities and the steel hob surface respond well to a quick wipe once cool. You will still need to occasionally tackle baked-on spills, but maintenance is easier than on many basic cookers.
Performance from the dual fuel setup is strong. The gas hob offers five burners covering a 1 to 4 kW range, so you can gently simmer sauces on the smaller zones while the 4 kW triple-crown burner powers through stir-fries or brings large pots up to the boil quickly. Cast-iron pan supports provide a stable base for heavier cookware and slide pans easily between burners.
The main 79-litre multifunction oven is the workhorse, with eight cooking functions including conventional heat, fan-assisted cooking, top and bottom elements and defrost. This flexibility makes it equally at home with crusty bread, delicate cakes or a full roast dinner. A-rated efficiency and fan assistance help ensure even results across the shelves.
Alongside it, the 67-litre fan oven gives you extra capacity when you’re cooking multiple dishes at different temperatures, or acts as a reliable everyday oven when you don’t need the full feature set of the main cavity. Both ovens achieve respectable energy consumption figures for their size, which is welcome when you’re running them regularly.
The third cavity is a full-width variable electric grill with 2300 W of power, designed for everything from cheese on toast to crisping crackling and finishing off oven-baked dishes. The dedicated grill space, plus the glide-out mechanism and supplied grill pan with handle, make it genuinely practical rather than an afterthought.
Rangemaster also layers in a number of user-focused extras: automatic safety shut-off, flame failure devices, Catch-rite door fixtures and triple-glazed doors underline the emphasis on safety and solidity, while the electronic clock, programmable timer and LED display keep your cooking organised and accurate.
At around £2999, the Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFWH/B sits at the premium end of the 90cm dual fuel range cooker market. It’s not trying to compete with budget models on price; instead it leans on capacity, features and brand reputation.
For the money you get two A-rated electric ovens, a powerful five-burner gas hob with wok burner, a separate electric grill and a thoughtful set of convenience features, from catalytic liners and Rapid Response heating to Handyrack and telescopic shelves. The traditional styling and solid build quality also play a big part in the overall value proposition.
The strong 4.7/5 user rating from a large number of reviews suggests owners generally feel they’ve had a good return on their investment, especially those who cook frequently and make use of the three cavities. If you only bake occasionally or won’t benefit from the extra capacity, a simpler, cheaper cooker will represent better value; but for a busy, food-focused household, the price is justified by what you get.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90DFFWH/B is a well-specified, characterful range cooker that delivers on its premium promise. With two roomy electric ovens, a separate grill and a versatile five-burner gas hob, it’s superbly equipped for family life, regular entertaining and more ambitious home cooking.
Day-to-day practicality is boosted by details like catalytic liners in the main oven, Rapid Response preheating, a powerful wok burner and genuinely useful accessories such as the Handyrack and glide-out grill. A solid A/A energy rating and strong owner satisfaction score further strengthen its case.
It is, however, a serious investment and still requires some manual cleaning in the second oven and grill. If your budget stretches and you want a traditional-looking 90cm range that feels built to last and is clearly designed around real cooking, this Rangemaster is a standout option. If you’re cost-conscious or space is tight, a more modest cooker will make more sense.
