The Rangemaster Elise ELS110DFFCA is a 110cm dual fuel range cooker that mixes professional-style cooking flexibility with classic British build quality. With two large electric ovens, a separate electric grill and a generous 6-burner gas hob, it is designed for households that cook a lot and entertain often.
This is very much a premium bit of kit, both in specification and price, and the China Blue finish adds a statement look rather than trying to blend into the background. Dual fuel gives you the control of gas on the hob with the even, reliable results of electric in the ovens.
Owners rate it extremely highly, with an average score of 4.9 out of 5 from hundreds of reviews, which gives strong confidence that it performs as well in real kitchens as it does on paper.
The Elise 110 is ideal for larger households, keen home cooks and anyone who regularly hosts big family dinners or parties. With two 79-litre ovens plus a separate grill, you can comfortably handle roasts with all the trimmings, batch baking and midweek meals without juggling trays.
It suits buyers looking for a premium range cooker rather than a budget option. If you are investing in a long-term centrepiece for an open-plan kitchen or a renovated space, the build quality, capacity and specification justify taking up 110cm of wall space.
The layout and rotary controls are straightforward enough for everyday family cooking, but the multifunction main oven, fan oven and wok burner will particularly appeal to confident cooks who like to experiment with different styles and techniques.
If you live in a compact flat, rarely cook for more than two people or are on a tight budget, this will likely be more cooker than you need – both in size and cost.
The twin 79-litre electric ovens are a real highlight, giving you a huge amount of usable space and the flexibility to cook dishes at different temperatures without compromise. For larger families or serious entertainers, that’s a genuine step up from a standard cooker.
The main oven is fully multifunctional, with fan assistance, base heat and conventional settings, so you can match the heat to the food – from crisp pizza bases to evenly risen sponges and slow roasts. The second cavity is a full fan oven in its own right, ideal for batch baking or using as your main oven when you do not need the full set-up.
On top, the 6-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports and a dedicated wok burner gives you the instant control and power many cooks prefer. There is plenty of room for multiple pans, and the sturdy supports feel suitably professional.
Practical touches such as catalytic stay-clean liners in the main oven, easy-clean enamel elsewhere, telescopic shelf runners and the clever Handyrack – which swings the roasting tray out on the door – all make everyday use safer and less of a chore.
The strong user rating, combined with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and British manufacture, adds confidence that this is a well-finished, reliable appliance.
This is an expensive range cooker, sitting firmly at the premium end of the market. You are paying for capacity, style and build, but if you will not regularly use the full width or both ovens, the extra outlay may not make sense.
There is no true pyrolytic self-cleaning, and catalytic liners are only fitted to the sides of the main cavity. That still reduces scrubbing, but you will need to put in some manual effort, especially in the second oven and grill compartments.
Despite its price, the Elise skips some convenience features you might expect, such as a fully featured programmable timer or digital display. The timer setup is basic, and there is no control panel lock, which may matter to households with curious children.
Installation is not plug-and-play. It needs hard wiring by a qualified electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, and the LPG conversion kit and gas hose are not included, so you should factor in additional installation cost.
Day to day, the Elise feels like a solid, traditional range. The rotary controls are simple and intuitive, and automatic ignition on the hob means you are not hunting for matches or a separate spark. Once you get used to the layout of four cavities, grabbing the right handle becomes second nature.
The two large ovens provide masses of space at a comfortable working height. The main oven’s telescopic shelf runners and Handyrack tray make checking and basting roasts safer and easier, as you are not reaching deep into a hot cavity with heavy dishes. Interior lights in both main ovens help you monitor progress without opening the doors.
Cleaning is relatively straightforward for such a big cooker. Catalytic liners in the main cavity absorb grease on the sides during normal cooking, while easy-clean enamel in the other cavities wipes down without too much effort. You will still need to pay attention to the door glass and grill area, but it is less of a slog than on an all-enamel interior.
The 6-burner hob layout works well in practice. Cast iron pan supports give a stable platform for everything from small milk pans to big stockpots, and the wok burner makes stir-fries, rapid boiling and searing quick work. The steel hob surface will show spills, so a quick wipe after cooking is advisable to keep it looking smart.
At 110cm wide and 60cm deep, it is a substantial presence in the kitchen, so you will want to plan cabinetry and extraction around it. Once installed, though, it operates like a dependable workhorse rather than a fussy showpiece.
Performance is where the Elise ELS110DFFCA earns its keep. The main 79-litre multifunction oven offers seven cooking functions, including fan-assisted baking, conventional heat and a bottom-element-only setting. That means you can tailor the heat to your recipes, from crisp tart bases to slow-cooked casseroles.
The second 79-litre oven is a straightforward electric fan oven with an A energy rating. Having a full-sized fan oven in addition to the multifunction main cavity makes a big difference when you need to cook several courses at once, or when you are batch baking trays of biscuits, bread or desserts.
The third cavity is a dedicated full-width electric grill with variable control. It is ideal for toast, cheese on toast, finishing off gratins or quickly browning dishes without tying up either main oven. Open-door grilling is supported, and the included grill pan and handle are ready to go out of the box.
On the hob, six gas burners spanning 1 to 4kW cover gentle simmering through to powerful boiling and wok cooking. The dedicated wok burner gives a strong, concentrated flame for stir-fries and searing. Flame failure devices shut off the gas if a flame goes out, adding an essential safety layer.
Convenience-wise, the cooker includes automatic ignition, adjustable feet for levelling, catalytic liners in the main cavity and telescopic runners. The Handyrack is a standout feature, clipping onto the main oven door so a roasting joint comes out towards you when you open it. While it lacks smart connectivity or advanced touch controls, it focuses on robust, practical features that directly improve cooking and handling.
With a price comfortably in the premium bracket for dual fuel range cookers, the Elise ELS110DFFCA is an investment purchase rather than a bargain buy. You are paying for twin full-size ovens, a separate grill, a six-burner gas hob and a distinctive design, all wrapped in a traditional Rangemaster build.
For households that will genuinely use the capacity and flexibility, the specification stacks up well. Two 79-litre ovens, a wok burner, catalytic liners, telescopic runners and thoughtful touches like the Handyrack are not standard on cheaper models, and they do translate into better day-to-day cooking.
The exceptionally high owner rating of 4.9 out of 5 from a large number of reviews suggests buyers feel they have had their money’s worth over time, which is a strong indicator of real-world value at this price point.
If you are on a tight budget or only cook occasionally, there are certainly more affordable cookers that will meet your needs. But for those set on a statement dual fuel range from a respected brand, the Elise offers solid value within the premium tier.
The Rangemaster Elise ELS110DFFCA is a seriously capable dual fuel range cooker that justifies its premium status with huge capacity, flexible cooking options and solid, reassuring build quality. It looks the part in China Blue, but more importantly it delivers the space and control that enthusiastic home cooks need.
Twin 79-litre ovens, a powerful six-burner hob with wok burner, a separate electric grill and helpful features like catalytic liners, telescopic shelves and the Handyrack make it a genuine upgrade from standard cookers. The outstanding user reviews back up the specification with real-world satisfaction.
It is not cheap, and it lacks some high-tech touches like a full-featured digital timer or pyrolytic cleaning. For smaller homes or occasional cooks, it will be overkill. But if you are designing a family kitchen around a long-lasting, do-it-all range and are happy to invest, the Elise 110 is an excellent choice.
