The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EICR/C is a 90cm electric range cooker that pairs traditional styling in cream and chrome with a thoroughly modern induction hob. With three cavities, two large ovens and a full-width grill, it is designed as a centrepiece for busy family kitchens.
This is very much a premium appliance, both in specification and price, aimed at buyers who want a statement range rather than a basic cooker. Owners clearly rate it highly, with a strong user score and dozens of reviews backing up its credentials.
You get a multifunction main oven, a second large fan oven and a responsive five-zone induction hob, plus thoughtful touches like catalytic liners and a glide-out grill to make day-to-day cooking easier.
The Classic Deluxe CDL90EICR/C is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and regularly use the oven for roasts, baking and batch cooking. With a 79-litre multifunction main oven and a 67-litre second fan oven, there is ample capacity for Sunday lunches, dinner parties and Christmas spreads.
It suits buyers who like the look of a traditional range but do not want to compromise on modern technology. The induction hob offers fast, precise heat with pan detection and residual heat indicators, so it will appeal to confident home cooks and keen bakers who value control and safety.
Given the high asking price, it is best suited to those with a healthy kitchen renovation budget rather than someone after a first-time or budget cooker. If you are upgrading a kitchen and want a long-term, built‑to‑last appliance from a well-known British brand, this fits the brief.
It is also a strong choice if you entertain often and need multiple ovens running at once, or if you batch cook and freeze meals. The combination of two large ovens and a separate grill gives plenty of flexibility for serious home chefs.
The combination of a 79-litre multifunction main oven and a 67-litre second fan oven gives excellent flexibility. You can roast in one cavity while baking or slow-cooking in the other, without flavours and timings clashing.
The five-zone induction hob is a major plus. It heats pans quickly, is highly responsive when you adjust the controls, and the pan detection and residual heat indicators add an extra layer of safety and efficiency. The smooth glass surface is also easy to wipe clean.
Rangemaster has included several genuinely useful convenience features. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main oven help absorb grease, reducing the need for heavy scrubbing. The glide-out grill and Handyrack on the main oven door make it easier and safer to handle hot trays, especially for larger joints of meat.
The triple-glazed doors, A/A energy ratings and programmable timer all point towards efficient, controlled cooking. Overall build and feature depth are in line with the brand’s premium reputation, and the strong owner rating suggests reliability and satisfaction in real homes.
This is an expensive cooker, sitting firmly at the premium end of the electric range market. You pay a clear premium for the brand, finish and induction hob, so it will not suit tighter budgets.
Despite the high price, only the main oven gets catalytic liners, and even then only on the sides. The second oven and grill cavities use enamel interiors, which still need a bit of elbow grease to keep pristine.
The second oven and the grill both lack interior lights, which can make it harder to check on food without opening the door or pulling out the grill. There is also no control panel lock, which some families with young children may miss.
Finally, it needs hard wiring by an electrician and draws a substantial 16kW, so you will need to ensure your electrical supply is up to the job before buying.
Day to day, the Classic Deluxe CDL90EICR/C is designed to be straightforward to live with once installed. The rotary controls and LED clock/minute minder are simple to understand, and the programmable timer helps you fit cooking around a busy schedule.
The induction hob is one of the highlights in everyday use. Pans come up to temperature quickly, and adjustments are almost instant, which is ideal for tasks like simmering sauces or stir-frying. Pan detection means zones only heat when a suitable pan is present, and residual heat indicators show when a zone is still warm, reducing the risk of accidental burns.
Inside the main oven, adjustable shelves and telescopic runners make it easy to position trays where you want them and pull them out safely. The Handyrack attached to the door is particularly handy for roasting, bringing the joint out towards you when you open the door so you can baste or check progress without lifting heavy tins.
Cleaning is relatively manageable for a range of this size. Catalytic liners in the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, while the other cavities use easy-clean enamel. The flat glass induction surface is quick to wipe down, so spills are less of a chore than on a traditional electric or gas hob.
Performance is a strong point for this Rangemaster. The 79-litre multifunction main oven offers eight cooking functions, including fan-assisted cooking, conventional top-and-bottom heat, top-only and bottom-only elements, plus a defrost setting. This gives you the tools to fine-tune results whether you are baking delicate sponges, crisping pizzas or achieving evenly browned roasts.
The second 67-litre cavity is a straightforward fan oven with an A energy rating, ideal for batch baking, side dishes or desserts when the main oven is already in use. Although it is a little simpler in terms of functions, its large capacity and four shelves make it very versatile.
Up top, the five-zone induction hob provides a modern, efficient cooking surface. The 1.15 to 3kW power range across zones, coupled with pan detection and residual heat indicators, means you have plenty of punch for searing and rapid boiling, as well as the control for gentle simmering. The glass surface looks sleek and is kinder to your cookware than cast iron pan supports.
The dedicated grill cavity features a full-width variable electric grill with a glide-out mechanism. This makes it easier to position food under the heat and check progress without having to reach into a hot space. Fan grilling in the main oven adds another option if you want faster, more even browning.
Other thoughtful touches include triple-glazed doors to help retain heat, automatic safety shut off, adjustable feet to level the cooker, and a Rapid Response function that speeds up preheating. Together, these features put it towards the top end of what you would expect from an electric range cooker in terms of functionality and cooking performance.
With a current price a long way above many standard cookers, the Classic Deluxe CDL90EICR/C is undeniably a premium purchase. You are paying for a 90cm range form factor, a high-spec five-zone induction hob, two large A-rated ovens and the cachet of the Rangemaster name.
Seen purely as pounds per litre of capacity, there are cheaper options, especially if you are willing to compromise on induction or brand. However, the depth of features — from multifunction cooking and Rapid Response preheating to Handyrack, glide-out grill and catalytic liners — helps justify the investment for serious home cooks.
The strong user rating backed by a healthy number of reviews suggests that most owners feel they have spent their money wisely. If you have the budget and will make full use of the multiple ovens and induction hob, the value comes from capability and longevity rather than outright low cost.
If you rarely cook large meals or simply want a basic cooker, you are unlikely to see the benefit of spending this much, and a simpler model would offer better value for you personally.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EICR/C is a well thought out, high-performing electric range cooker that successfully blends classic styling with modern induction technology. It offers generous oven space, powerful and precise hob performance and practical features that genuinely make everyday cooking easier.
Its main compromises are the premium price, the lack of catalytic liners in the second oven and grill, and the absence of lights in those smaller cavities. None of these are deal-breakers, but they are worth bearing in mind if you are stretching your budget.
If you are creating a feature kitchen, cook regularly for a family or larger groups, and want a traditional-looking range with an efficient induction hob, this Rangemaster is a very strong contender. Those on tighter budgets, or who rarely need two ovens, may be better served by a simpler, less costly cooker.
