A premium range cooker for serious home cooks

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EIWH/C is a 90cm electric range cooker with a five-zone induction hob, two electric ovens and a separate grill, wrapped in traditional white and chrome styling. It is very much a premium option, aimed at households that cook often and want a statement appliance as much as a practical one.

Rangemaster is a well-regarded name in range cookers, and this model leans on that heritage with solid build, versatile cooking options and plenty of capacity for family meals or entertaining. It carries a higher-end price tag, but its feature set and finish reflect that.

Owners clearly rate it highly: with an average score of 4.6 out of 5 from over 50 reviews, it is a well‑proven choice rather than an untested design.

Who this range cooker is best for

This Rangemaster is ideal for busy family kitchens and keen home cooks who use their oven and hob daily. The main 79‑litre multifunction oven, 67‑litre fan oven and separate 25‑litre grill give you the space and flexibility to cook several dishes at once, which is perfect if you regularly host Sunday roasts or dinner parties.

It suits buyers looking for a premium, long‑term appliance rather than a first, budget cooker. The need for hard‑wiring and a 45‑amp supply means it is best suited to homeowners or those undertaking a kitchen refit, rather than renters wanting a quick plug‑in option.

If you prefer the precision and safety of induction over gas, this model fits the bill. The five-zone glass induction hob with pan detection and residual heat indicators offers fast, controllable heat that is particularly good for everyday family cooking, batch cooking and more delicate tasks.

Style‑wise, the Classic Deluxe will appeal if you like a traditional range look but do not want to compromise on modern technology. The white and chrome finish works especially well in shaker, country or classic kitchens where the cooker is a focal point.

What we like

The three‑cavity layout is a real strength. A large 79‑litre multifunction main oven, a 67‑litre fan oven and a separate full‑width electric grill mean you can roast, bake and grill at different temperatures without juggling shelves.

The induction hob is a big win for both performance and safety. Five zones with up to 1.85 kW output, nine power levels, pan detection and residual heat indicators give you rapid heat, fine control and extra peace of mind, especially around children.

Everyday usability is boosted by thoughtful touches: a programmable electronic clock and minute minder, adjustable shelves with telescopic runners, an interior light in the main oven and Rangemaster’s Handyrack, which lets you check and baste roasts more easily.

Cleaning is relatively low‑effort for a range cooker. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main oven help absorb grease during normal cooking, and the remaining cavities use easy‑clean enamel. Combined with the smooth glass induction surface, there are fewer awkward areas to scrub.

Build and safety are reassuring. Triple‑glazed doors, automatic safety shut‑off, overheating protection and a child lock for the hob functions underline its premium positioning and make it well suited to family homes.

Where it could be better

The price is firmly at the premium end for a 90cm electric range cooker, so it is not the right choice if you simply want basic cooking on a tight budget.

Although the main oven has catalytic liners, they are only on the sides. The back and base still need manual cleaning, and the second oven and grill rely on standard enamel rather than self‑cleaning liners.

Installation demands a dedicated high‑capacity electrical supply (16 kW, 45‑amp) and professional hard‑wiring. If your kitchen is not already set up for this, you may face extra electrician costs.

The separate grill cavity has no interior light and must be used with the door open, which some users will find less convenient. There is also no control panel lock, so you rely on general awareness and the child‑lock functions rather than a full keypad lockout.

Everyday use

Day to day, the Classic Deluxe feels like a cooker designed to be used, not just admired. The front‑mounted rotary knobs and clear LED display keep controls straightforward, and the programmable timer makes it easy to schedule cooking around work or school runs.

The induction hob heats quickly and responds instantly when you raise or lower the power level, so boiling pasta water, simmering sauces or searing steaks all feel controlled. Pan detection prevents zones from heating without a suitable pan, and residual heat indicators help you avoid touching hot areas once you are finished.

Inside, the main multifunction oven’s seven shelf positions, telescopic shelf runners and Handyrack make it simple to arrange trays and roasting tins. The fan‑assisted secondary oven is great for batch baking or keeping dishes warm while the main oven handles the centrepiece of the meal.

Cleaning routines are manageable for such a sizeable cooker. Everyday splashes on the hob wipe away easily from the glass surface once the residual heat indicators go off. Over time, the catalytic liners in the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, so you mainly need to wipe down exposed areas and the non‑lined cavities.

The traditional range styling comes with solid doors and handles that feel reassuring rather than flimsy, and the triple‑glazed main door helps keep heat in the cavity rather than spilling into the kitchen.

Performance and features

Performance is strong across all three cavities. The main 79‑litre multifunction oven offers eight cooking functions, including fan‑assisted, conventional top and bottom heat, top‑only and bottom‑only modes. That means you can match the heat profile to what you are cooking, from crusty loaves to tender slow roasts.

Energy efficiency is respectable, with both ovens rated A. The main cavity’s fan consumption of 0.88 kWh and the second oven’s 0.79 kWh indicate sensible running costs for an appliance of this size, especially if you make use of the fan settings for even heat distribution.

The five‑zone induction hob gives you plenty of flexibility. With power outputs ranging from 1.15 to 1.85 kW, you can dedicate larger zones to big pans or use multiple smaller pans for sides. Rapid Response™ helps get the oven cavity up to temperature quickly, reducing preheat times and making midweek cooking feel less of a chore.

Feature‑wise, it is well equipped for a domestic range cooker. Safety systems include automatic shut‑off, overheating protection, child lock and residual heat indicators. Practical extras like the glide‑out grill, Handyrack and telescopic shelf runners make handling hot trays and heavy dishes more controlled and comfortable.

While it does not add smart connectivity or touch‑screen controls, it focuses on proven hardware that works reliably. The two‑year manufacturer warranty for domestic use adds reassurance that it is built to last normal household demands.

Value for money

This Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium price bracket for 90cm electric range cookers, so you are paying for both specification and brand reputation. The combination of a large multifunction main oven, sizeable second fan oven, dedicated grill and a full five‑zone induction hob is more generous than basic models.

The strong user rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 57 reviews suggests that most owners feel they have had good value, particularly in terms of performance, capacity and build quality. If you cook frequently and will use the multiple ovens and induction hob to their full potential, the cost is easier to justify over the long term.

If your needs are more modest – occasional baking, simple weekday meals and little interest in induction – you could save money with a simpler cooker. But for serious home cooks who want a capable, traditional‑looking range with modern electric performance, this model offers solid long‑term value despite the higher upfront spend.

Our verdict

The Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EIWH/C is a thoroughly capable, family‑sized electric range cooker that blends classic styling with up‑to‑date induction technology. Its three‑cavity layout, large capacities and A‑rated efficiency make it well suited to households that cook often and entertain regularly.

It is not a budget choice, and the need for professional hard‑wiring plus only partial self‑cleaning capability may put off some buyers. However, the fast, safe induction hob, versatile ovens, thoughtful usability features and strong owner feedback all point to a cooker that earns its place at the heart of a busy kitchen.

If you want a 90cm range that looks traditional but performs like a modern electric flagship – and you are prepared to invest accordingly – this Classic Deluxe is a very strong contender.
