The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EIRB/C is a 90cm-wide electric range cooker with an induction hob, finished in striking Regal Blue with chrome trim. It combines the traditional Rangemaster look with up-to-date cooking tech, including a powerful five-zone induction hob and a large multifunction main oven.
This is very much a premium appliance, aimed at households that cook often and want both capacity and control. With three separate cavities and twin A-rated ovens, it is designed to handle everything from weeknight suppers to big family roasts and batch baking.
Owners rate it very highly, with an average score of 4.9 out of 5 from multiple reviews, which backs up the impression that you are getting a top-end cooker that delivers in everyday use.
This Rangemaster is ideal for keen home cooks and busy family households who want the flexibility of a full range cooker without stepping up to a huge 110cm model. The 90cm width gives you generous oven space and a proper separate grill, but is still realistic for many standard UK kitchens.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, long-term purchase. The induction hob, twin A-rated ovens, glide-out grill and catalytic liners all point to a cooker built for frequent use rather than the odd Sunday roast. If you regularly juggle multiple dishes, batch bake or entertain, the three-cavity layout will feel like a genuine upgrade.
It is also a strong choice if you like the classic, country-style aesthetic but do not want to compromise on modern technology. The Regal Blue and chrome styling is very much a focal point appliance, so it will appeal if you want the cooker to be a design statement as well as a workhorse.
If you are on a tight budget or only cook simple meals occasionally, this model may be more than you need. But for anyone planning a new kitchen or replacing an older range with something stylish, fast and easy to care for, it fits the bill very well.
The five-zone induction hob is a real highlight. It offers nine power levels with rapid, responsive heat and built-in pan detection and residual heat indicators, giving you both speed and safety compared with traditional electric plates.
The main 79-litre multifunction oven gives you plenty of room and genuine flexibility, with eight cooking functions and both top and bottom elements plus fan assistance. This makes it easy to switch between crisp Yorkshire puddings, evenly baked cakes and slow roasts without compromise.
A second 67-litre fan oven adds valuable capacity for batch cooking or big family meals, so you can roast in one and bake or reheat in the other without flavours clashing. The separate 25-litre full-width electric grill, mounted at the top, is on a glide-out tray for safer, easier handling.
Day-to-day upkeep is helped by catalytic liners in the main cavity and easy-clean enamel in the others, so spills are less of a chore. Extras like the Handyrack, telescopic shelf runners, child lock and sturdy Catch-rite door fixtures all contribute to a cooker that feels well thought through and built to last.
Finally, the twin A energy ratings and consistently high user reviews suggest strong performance and efficiency over time.
This is a high-end range cooker and the price reflects that, so it will not suit smaller budgets. You are paying for the brand, the induction hob and the feature set, and there are cheaper 90cm cookers if you are willing to compromise on induction or oven options.
Despite the premium positioning, the second oven and grill cavities do not have catalytic liners, so you will still need to put in some manual cleaning effort there. The main oven’s liners are only on the sides, not the back or door.
The grill cavity has no interior light and must be used with the door open, which is less refined than some enclosed grill arrangements. The second oven also lacks an interior light, which can make it slightly harder to check on bakes without opening the door.
Finally, with a hefty 16kW electrical load and no supplied plug or cable, it requires hard wiring by a qualified electrician, adding to installation cost and complexity.
Living with the Classic Deluxe CDL90EIRB/C is all about having the right space in the right place. The main oven is positioned at the bottom with a left-hinged door, giving you a wide, clear opening and two shelves on telescopic runners, so it feels sturdy and safe when lifting heavy trays.
The induction hob is simple to control via front-mounted rotary dials, with clear LED display and nine power levels. Pan detection means zones only heat when suitable cookware is present, adding peace of mind, and the residual heat indicators remind you not to touch a recently used area.
The dedicated top grill cavity on a glide-out tray makes toast, cheese on toast or quick snacks more convenient than using a grill function in an oven. Being able to slide the grill pan towards you without reaching into a hot cavity is a genuine usability and safety benefit.
Cleaning is relatively straightforward. Catalytic liners in the main cavity help break down grease as you cook, and all three cavities use easy-clean enamel on other surfaces. You will still need to wipe them down, but baked-on spills are far less stubborn than on older enamel-only ovens.
The traditional Rangemaster fascia, with solid-feeling knobs and the classic clock/timer, gives a reassuringly robust feel. Controls are straightforward rather than flashy, which most cooks will appreciate once the novelty of touch panels wears off.
Performance starts with the induction hob. With zone powers between 1.15 and 1.85kW and nine power levels, it is quick to bring pans up to the boil and responds instantly when you turn the heat down. Induction is also more efficient than standard electric, directing heat straight into the pan rather than the glass surface.
The 79-litre main oven is multifunctional, combining fan assistance with conventional top and bottom elements. This lets you tailor the heat for everything from evenly risen sponge cakes to crisp, golden roasts. Features like Rapid Response help the oven heat up quickly, reducing waiting times when you are in a rush.
The second 67-litre fan oven gives consistent, even heat for batch baking, multiple trays of biscuits or cooking side dishes alongside a roast. Having this extra space transforms how you can plan big meals, as you are less likely to compromise on timing or cram dishes together.
The third cavity is a dedicated 25-litre full-width electric grill with variable control. It is designed for fast browning and grilling tasks, and the glide-out mechanism makes it easier to manage food without juggling hot trays.
Beyond core cooking performance, there are several thoughtful touches: catalytic stay-clean liners in the main oven, a Handyrack that brings the roasting tray out with the door, telescopic shelf runners, a programmable electronic timer and triple-glazed doors to help keep heat in. Together they create a feature set that is comfortably in the upper tier of 90cm ranges.
This Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium end of the electric range cooker market, and its price reflects that. You are paying more than you would for a basic 90cm model, particularly those with ceramic or solid plate hobs and a simpler oven layout.
However, the specification does go significantly further than entry-level competitors. The five-zone induction hob, large multifunction main oven, full second fan oven and separate glide-out grill, plus conveniences like catalytic liners, Rapid Response, Handyrack and telescopic shelves, all contribute to the higher cost.
The twin A energy ratings help keep running costs sensible for such a capable cooker, and the two-year manufacturer warranty offers a reasonable level of reassurance, especially backed up by an excellent 4.9/5 user rating. For households that will use the capacity and features week in, week out, it represents solid long-term value.
If you are mainly price-driven or will not fully exploit the multi-oven layout, there are better-value options. But if you want a statement range with modern induction performance and proven owner satisfaction, the price is easier to justify.
The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EIRB/C is an impressive 90cm range cooker that blends classic styling with thoroughly modern cooking technology. The responsive induction hob, generous dual-oven setup and separate glide-out grill make it a highly capable centrepiece for a busy kitchen.
It shines for households that cook a lot, entertain regularly or simply want a cooker that can handle anything from quick midweek meals to elaborate Sunday lunches. Ease-of-use features such as catalytic liners, Rapid Response heating, telescopic shelves and the Handyrack make everyday cooking more straightforward and enjoyable.
Its premium price and the need for professional installation mean it is not the obvious choice for tighter budgets or very occasional cooks. But if you are investing in a long-term, feature-rich range and love the traditional Rangemaster look, this model is an excellent option with very little to criticise.
