The Rangemaster Elise ELS110EICB is a 110cm-wide electric range cooker with an induction hob, aimed squarely at busy homes that cook every day and entertain often. With four separate cavities, twin full-size ovens and a five-zone induction hob, it is built to handle everything from midweek dinners to big family gatherings.
Rangemaster is a trusted British brand in range cookers, and this Elise model feels every bit the premium choice, from its traditional styling to its charcoal black finish. It is an all-electric design with A-rated ovens and stay-clean liners to help keep maintenance under control.
Owners clearly rate it highly: with a 4.9 out of 5 score from hundreds of reviews, it is one of the better-loved cookers in its class. The specification and price both put it in the high-end bracket, but it promises the sort of capacity, control and build quality that keen cooks look for.
This Elise is ideal for larger households and keen home cooks who regularly use the oven and hob at the same time. Twin 79-litre ovens plus an additional grill cavity mean you can roast, bake and grill simultaneously without juggling shelves.
If you enjoy entertaining, the 110cm width and four cavities come into their own. You can slow-roast in one oven, batch-bake desserts in the second and still have the dedicated grill on hand for starters or finishing dishes. The integrated Handyrack that swings out with the door also makes managing large roasting trays less of a faff.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, long-term appliance rather than a budget stopgap. The induction hob, catalytic liners, telescopic shelves and robust door fixtures all point to a cooker designed for frequent use and convenience.
It is best for homes with the space and the right electrics. At over a metre wide and requiring hard wiring to a 45-amp supply, it is not suited to small kitchens, rented flats or anyone wanting a simple plug-in cooker.
Four separate cavities give outstanding flexibility: two large 79-litre fan-assisted ovens for serious cooking, a dedicated full-width electric grill and a lower storage drawer to keep trays and tins tidy.
The five-zone induction hob offers fast, responsive heating with pan detection, boost on all zones and residual heat indicators. It is safer and more efficient than traditional ceramic or solid plate electric tops, especially in homes with children, helped further by the child lock.
Both main ovens use catalytic stay-clean liners on the sides, plus easy-clean enamel elsewhere, so splashes and grease burn off during regular cooking and need only a light wipe rather than heavy scrubbing.
Practical extras like the Handyrack, telescopic shelf runners, automatic safety shut-off, overheating protection and Catch-rite door fixtures make everyday use feel well thought out and reassuringly solid.
The strong owner rating (4.9/5 from a large number of reviews) backs up the spec sheet, suggesting reliability and satisfaction over time.
This is a premium, high-priced range cooker, so it will be overkill for smaller households or anyone simply wanting a basic cooker for occasional use.
Neither of the main ovens has a glass viewing window, which is unusual at this level and means you need to open the door to check on bakes and roasts, losing heat each time.
There is no true programmable timer for fully automatic start/stop cooking, only an electronic timer, which may disappoint those who rely on delayed-start features.
The third cavity uses a standard enamel interior rather than catalytic liners, so the grill area will still need more traditional cleaning.
Installation requires a suitably rated hard-wired electrical supply and a qualified electrician, so there may be extra cost and complexity compared with a simple freestanding cooker.
Living with the Elise ELS110EICB is about space and control. The side-opening doors on the main ovens make it easier to get heavy trays in and out without leaning over a drop-down door, and the Handyrack lets you pull a roasting joint towards you with the door, rather than reaching into a hot cavity.
The rotary controls across the front are straightforward and familiar, avoiding complex menus or touchscreens. The induction hob responds quickly to changes, so you can bring water to the boil in a hurry then drop to a gentle simmer without overshooting. Pan detection and residual heat indicators help you feel in control and reduce the risk of accidents.
Cleaning is less of a chore than on many older range cookers. The catalytic liners on the sides of the two main ovens break down grease as you cook at higher temperatures, and the removable inner door glass makes it easier to keep things looking smart. The glass induction surface only needs a wipe once it has cooled.
The built-in storage drawer gives a proper place for trays, shelves and roasting tins, freeing up cupboard space and keeping the range tidy. Adjustable feet and a decent height adjustment range help it sit flush with most worktops for a fitted look.
At the heart of the Elise are its twin 79-litre ovens, both fan-assisted and A-rated for energy efficiency. The main oven is multifunctional with seven settings, including conventional heat, fan modes, top and bottom elements and defrost, giving you the tools to handle everything from crisp pastry to slow braises.
The second large oven mirrors the capacity and fan performance, making it ideal for batch cooking or handling a full roast in one and side dishes or desserts in the other. Both ovens have interior lights, sensible shelving and catalytic liners on the sides for easier upkeep.
The dedicated third cavity is a full-width variable electric grill with its own 25-litre space. It is perfect for quick snacks, browning lasagne tops or grilling fish without tying up the main ovens. The open-door grilling design is traditional and simple, and the supplied grill pan with handle means you can get started straight away.
On the hob, five induction zones span a useful range of sizes, from a smaller zone for milk pans to a larger one for stockpots. Each zone offers a boost function for rapid heating and the glass surface looks sleek in charcoal black. Safety is well covered with automatic safety shut-off, child lock, pan detection and overheating protection.
Rounding things off are thoughtful touches such as telescopic shelf runners for safer handling of hot dishes, Catch-rite door fixtures for a positive close, and a two-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.
This Rangemaster Elise sits firmly in the premium end of electric range cookers, and its price reflects that. You are paying for a 110cm format, a high-quality induction hob, two genuinely large ovens and a separate grill, along with a traditional, built-in look and feel.
For households that will use its capacity and flexibility, the feature set justifies the investment: induction cooking, multifunction ovens, catalytic liners, robust build and a long list of safety features are not standard on cheaper models.
The exceptionally strong user rating and large number of reviews suggest that buyers generally feel they have had good value over time, with performance and reliability living up to expectations. If your budget allows and you want an all-electric range that can anchor a busy family kitchen, it represents solid long-term value.
If you cook less frequently, have a smaller home or simply do not need four cavities, a mid-range 90cm model is likely to make more financial sense.
The Rangemaster Elise ELS110EICB is a serious range cooker for serious home kitchens. Its twin 79-litre ovens, dedicated grill and spacious five-zone induction hob give you the firepower and flexibility to handle large roasts, batch cooking and entertaining with ease.
Everyday usability is strong, thanks to simple rotary controls, practical features like the Handyrack and telescopic shelves, and cleaning aids such as catalytic liners and easy-clean enamel. Safety and build quality feel well considered, and owner feedback is overwhelmingly positive.
It is not a bargain option and the lack of oven windows or an advanced programmable timer may disappoint some at this price. But if you are fitting out a family kitchen, want an all-electric, induction-equipped range and value capacity, control and a classic Rangemaster look, the Elise ELS110EICB is an excellent choice.
