The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90ECMG/C is a 90cm-wide electric range cooker with a ceramic hob, triple-oven layout and a traditional, country-style design in Mineral Green with chrome trim. It is aimed squarely at buyers who want a statement piece as much as a serious cooking appliance.
Rangemaster is one of the best-known names in range cookers, and this model leans heavily into that heritage with solid build, thoughtful cooking features and a large main multifunction oven.
With a very strong 4.8 out of 5 owner rating from multiple reviews, it is clearly well regarded by households already using it day to day, but the premium price means it is best suited to those who will really make use of the extra capacity and flexibility.
This cooker is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and enjoy entertaining. The 79-litre main multifunction oven, 67-litre fan oven and separate grill give you the space to handle Sunday roasts, batch cooking and dinner parties without juggling trays.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, traditional-style range rather than a basic freestanding cooker. The price sits at the higher end of the electric range category, so it makes most sense if you value build quality, looks and the flexibility of three separate cavities.
Confident home cooks will appreciate the eight main oven functions, Rapid Response™ preheat and the precise control offered by the 5-zone ceramic hob with nine power levels. At the same time, features like catalytic liners in the main oven, an electronic programmable timer, telescopic runners and a glide-out grill make it accessible for families who just want reliable, easy everyday cooking.
If you rarely cook, live alone, or are on a tight budget, this is likely to be more cooker than you need. But for a busy kitchen, a countryside-style home or anyone upgrading from a basic cooker to a long-term, centrepiece appliance, it fits the bill very well.
Three separate cavities – a large 79-litre multifunction main oven, a 67-litre fan oven and a dedicated full-width electric grill – give excellent flexibility for cooking different dishes at once.
The 5-zone ceramic hob offers plenty of room for multiple pans, with multi-sized zones, up to 2.02 kW power and nine power levels for precise simmering and strong boils. The flat glass surface is also easy to wipe clean.
Catalytic liners in the main oven and easy-clean enamel in the others help keep cleaning under control, a big plus on a range cooker of this size.
Rapid Response™ gets the main oven up to temperature faster, so you are not waiting ages for it to preheat on busy evenings.
Thoughtful details such as the glide-out grill, Handyrack on the door and telescopic shelf runners make it easier and safer to check food and handle heavy trays.
The A/A energy rating, solid two-year manufacturer warranty and excellent 4.8/5 user score all add confidence that you are investing in a well-made, efficient appliance.
The price is firmly in premium territory for a 90cm electric range, so it will not suit tighter budgets or homes that do not need the extra capacity.
There is no induction option here – the hob is ceramic. While it is easier to clean than gas and perfectly capable, it will not be as fast or as responsive as a good induction hob.
Only the main oven has catalytic liners; the second oven and grill cavities use standard enamel, so they will still need more regular manual cleaning.
There is no dedicated slow-cook function, rotisserie, or pyrolytic self-cleaning, which some similarly priced high-end cookers now offer.
The cooker needs hard wiring to a 45-amp supply and does not come with a plug or cable, so you must factor in professional installation if you are not already set up for a range cooker.
Day to day, the Classic Deluxe CDL90ECMG/C is designed to feel reassuringly solid and straightforward. Front-mounted rotary controls and buttons, backed up by an electronic clock and timer, make it easy to set temperatures and timings without being overwhelmed by menus.
The main multifunction oven gives you options from conventional top-and-bottom heat through to fan-assisted cooking and bottom-element-only mode for items like pastry or casseroles. Rapid Response™ means you can switch it on and get cooking sooner, which is particularly handy during the week.
The separate right-hand fan oven is a real asset when you are cooking multiple courses or need different temperatures at the same time. Its 67-litre capacity and four shelves mean you can load it up for batch baking or side dishes while the main oven handles the centrepiece.
Up top, the 5-zone ceramic hob provides a flat, stable surface for all your pans. Residual heat indicators improve safety, particularly in busy family kitchens, and the glass surface wipes clean more easily than traditional solid plates.
Cleaning is relatively manageable for a range cooker. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main cavity help burn off splashes during normal cooking, while the smooth enamel in the other compartments and hob glass respond well to a quick wipe-down. The glide-out grill and telescopic runners make it easier – and safer – to access food without reaching deep into a hot cavity.
The main 79-litre multifunction oven is the workhorse here. With eight cooking functions, including fan assistance, conventional heat, bottom-element-only and defrost, it covers everyday meals and more involved recipes with ease. The A energy rating and reasonable energy consumption figures suggest it runs efficiently for its size.
The second cavity is a 67-litre fan oven, also rated A for energy efficiency. Fan-only operation keeps things simple and delivers even heat across the shelves, perfect for baking, batch cooking and cooking multiple trays at once without constant rotation.
Above, the third cavity houses a full-width variable electric grill with a 2300W element and a glide-out carriage. Open-door grilling is traditional Rangemaster style and, combined with the included grill pan and handle, makes it well suited to quick snacks, crisp finishes and lighter meals without heating a full oven.
On the hob, five ceramic/halogen zones with outputs from 1.1kW up to 2.02kW cater for everything from gentle simmering to vigorous boiling. Multi-sized zones give better pan coverage, and nine power levels offer fine control. Residual heat indicators add a useful safety layer, especially if you have children.
Under the skin, features such as automatic safety shut-off, overheating protection and triple-glazed oven doors (for better insulation) reinforce the premium feel. Telescopic shelf runners, the Handyrack roasting aid and easy-clean surfaces show that Rangemaster has considered both performance and practicality for serious home cooks.
This model sits towards the top end of the price spectrum for 90cm electric range cookers, reflecting both the Rangemaster badge and the traditional Classic Deluxe styling. You are paying for a blend of looks, capacity and brand reputation rather than just a budget-friendly way to add more oven space.
For the money, you get two generously sized A-rated ovens, a dedicated full-width grill, a versatile 5-zone ceramic hob, catalytic liners in the main oven, Rapid Response™ preheat, and a host of small but meaningful usability touches like the Handyrack, glide-out grill and telescopic shelves.
The two-year manufacturer warranty is decent, if not class-leading, for an appliance at this level. Coupled with an excellent 4.8/5 owner rating, there is strong evidence that buyers feel they have received what they paid for.
If you just need a simple cooker, this will feel expensive. But if you are upgrading a kitchen, want a statement range that will be used heavily and appreciate the day-to-day benefits of the feature set, the Classic Deluxe CDL90ECMG/C offers solid value within the premium bracket.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90ECMG/C is a stylish, premium 90cm electric range cooker that delivers on both looks and substance. Its three-cavity layout, two large A-rated ovens and flexible 5-zone ceramic hob make it a strong choice for busy households and keen home cooks who want space, control and convenience.
It is not the cheapest option, and the lack of induction, pyrolytic cleaning or dedicated slow-cook programmes may put off some buyers looking for the very latest tech. However, the combination of catalytic liners in the main oven, Rapid Response™ preheat, safety features and thoughtful extras like the glide-out grill and Handyrack means it is genuinely easy to live with.
If you are creating a traditional or country-style kitchen and want a reliable, well-reviewed electric range that can handle everything from midweek meals to big family gatherings, this Rangemaster should be high on your shortlist. Those on tighter budgets or set on induction might want to explore alternatives, but for many, this will be a highly satisfying long-term purchase.
