The Rangemaster Kitchener KCH90DFFCR/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker in a cream and chrome finish, combining the responsiveness of a 5-burner gas hob with the consistency of twin electric fan ovens and a separate electric grill. It is aimed squarely at busy family kitchens and keen home cooks who want the flexibility of a full range without jumping to oversized 100cm models.
Rangemaster is a well-established British name in range cookers, and this model follows that heritage with a contemporary twist: triple-glazed doors, catalytic liners in the main oven and a glide-out grill all point to a premium, practical design. User feedback is very strong, with a 4.7 out of 5 rating from well over a thousand reviews, so this is not an untested niche product.
It is a premium-priced cooker, but you are paying for capacity, build quality and a feature set that makes everyday cooking and big family feasts noticeably easier.
This 90cm dual fuel range is best suited to medium and larger households that cook most days. With two large fan ovens (79L and 67L) plus a dedicated grill cavity, there is enough room to batch cook, roast and bake all at once, making it ideal if you regularly host or have a busy family routine.
It will appeal to cooks who like gas for hob control but prefer the evenness of electric ovens. The 5-burner layout with a powerful triple crown wok burner is particularly good for stir-fries, searing and cooking with big pans, so it suits more adventurous home chefs as well as everyday one-pan meals.
This is not a budget purchase; it sits in the more premium end of the range cooker market, so it makes most sense if you are upgrading a main family kitchen or doing a renovation rather than kitting out a basic rental. The programmable timer, telescopic shelf runners and Handyrack in the main oven also make it friendly for less experienced cooks who still want reliable results without constant juggling.
If your kitchen is compact or you rarely cook for more than one or two people, a full 90cm range may be more than you need. But if you want a statement piece that genuinely adds cooking flexibility, this is firmly in the sweet spot.
The twin electric fan ovens are a major strength. At 79L and 67L, both are genuinely large and fan-assisted, so you can cook on multiple shelves with even heat, perfect for batch baking or doing a joint and all the trimmings together.
The five-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports and a triple crown wok burner gives you versatile heat control and plenty of room for larger pans. The wok burner in particular delivers strong, focused heat, making quick, high-temperature cooking much easier.
Everyday usability is well thought through. The main cavity has catalytic liners on the sides to break down grease, telescopic shelf runners so dishes slide out smoothly, and Rangemaster’s Handyrack on the door for easy access to roasts. The separate glide-out variable electric grill is great for quick snacks or finishing dishes without tying up an oven.
Safety and build are reassuring. Triple-glazed doors, a flame failure device on the hob and automatic ignition are all included, and the cooker earns a respectable A/A energy rating for its ovens. Add in the very strong user rating and 2-year manufacturer warranty, and it feels like a reliable long-term choice.
The price is on the higher side compared with basic 90cm cookers, so it will not suit very tight budgets, even though the spec goes a long way to justify the spend.
Despite the premium positioning, only the main oven has catalytic liners, and even then only on the sides. The second oven and grill use enamel only, so you will still need to put in elbow grease for deeper cleans.
There is no child lock on the controls and no residual heat indicators on the hob, which some families with younger children may miss. The second oven and grill cavities also lack interior lights, which can make it slightly harder to check on food without opening the door.
Finally, installation is not plug-and-play. It needs hard wiring by an electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, with no hose or LPG conversion kit included in the box, so you should budget for professional fitting on top of the purchase price.
Day to day, the Kitchener KCH90DFFCR/C is designed to be straightforward to live with. Rotary controls and an LED display with an electronic clock and minute minder keep operation simple, and automatic ignition on the gas burners means you are not hunting for matches or a lighter.
The layout is intuitive: the main 79L fan oven sits bottom left, the second 67L fan oven on the right, with the dedicated grill cavity at the top left. That separation works well in real use; you can have a roast ticking over in one oven, dessert or sides in the other, and still use the grill for cheese on toast or crisping up skins.
Cleaning is helped by catalytic liners in the main oven, which absorb and break down grease during normal cooking, so a quick wipe is normally enough. The enamel interior of the other cavities is smooth and easy to wipe down, even if it doesn’t self-clean to the same extent. The cast iron pan supports are sturdy and stable, though they are heavier to lift when you want to clean the hob surface.
Little touches make everyday cooking less of a chore. The glide-out grill tray lets you check on food without reaching deep into a hot cavity; telescopic shelf runners in the main oven make pulling out heavy trays feel safer and more controlled; and the Handyrack means you can baste or lift a roast while the tray is supported on the door, rather than having to juggle it on the worktop.
Once installed, you are unlikely to fiddle much with settings beyond the timer, and the consistent fan ovens help reduce the guesswork that often comes with older or uneven cookers.
Performance is a clear strong point here. Both main cavities are electric fan ovens with A ratings, so they circulate heat evenly. That makes it easier to reliably bake batches of biscuits, cook multiple trays of vegetables or roast large joints without worrying that the top shelf will burn while the bottom is underdone. Energy consumption figures of 0.83 kWh and 0.79 kWh for the fan ovens are reasonable for their size.
On the hob, the five gas burners cover a useful spread of power from 1 to 4 kW. The triple crown wok burner delivers high heat for fast cooking, while the smaller burners suit simmering sauces or gently melting chocolate. Cast iron pan supports provide a solid, professional feel and keep pans stable across the hob.
The dedicated electric grill cavity offers a variable electric grill, perfect for toast, bacon, grilled vegetables or finishing a gratin. Because it is separate from the ovens, you can use it without disturbing what is baking or roasting elsewhere, and the glide-out design makes it far easier to keep an eye on food.
Convenience features lift this above cheaper ranges. Catalytic liners in the main oven reduce baked-on grime; the Handyrack makes handling roasts safer and less messy; telescopic runners give the main shelves a smooth, controlled action; and adjustable shelves across the ovens help you optimise space for tall dishes or multiple trays. The triple-glazed doors also help retain heat and keep the exterior cooler to touch.
From a safety and installation standpoint, the flame failure devices on the hob offer peace of mind by shutting off the gas if a flame goes out, and the cooker can be converted for LPG (with an additional kit). Just note that it requires hardwiring to a 32-amp supply, so it is not suited to makeshift or temporary setups.
This Rangemaster sits in the premium bracket for 90cm dual fuel range cookers, and you are clearly paying more than you would for an entry-level model. In return, you get twin full-size fan ovens, a separate grill cavity, a powerful five-burner gas hob with a wok burner, and several thoughtful usability features that cheaper ranges often skip.
The build quality, British manufacture and strong brand reputation all support the price, as does the comprehensive feature list: catalytic liners where they matter most, cast iron supports, telescopic runners, Handyrack and a glide-out grill. These are features you actually notice in daily use, not just spec sheet padding.
Crucially, the real-world owner feedback is excellent. A 4.7/5 rating from nearly 1,400 reviews suggests owners are consistently happy with performance and reliability, which helps justify spending more than the bare minimum. The 2-year warranty is decent, though some rivals offer longer cover at similar price points.
Overall, it represents good value if you are investing in a long-term main cooker and will make use of the capacity and flexibility. For occasional cooks or smaller households, it may be overkill and a smaller or simpler cooker could free up budget for other appliances.
The Rangemaster Kitchener KCH90DFFCR/C is a well-rounded, high-capacity 90cm dual fuel range that balances traditional looks with genuinely modern convenience. Dual fan ovens, a separate glide-out grill and a versatile five-burner hob give you all the tools you need to handle everything from busy weeknight dinners to big family gatherings with ease.
Its strengths lie in even cooking, generous space and thoughtful features like catalytic liners, the Handyrack and telescopic runners, which together make both cooking and cleaning noticeably less of a hassle. Strong owner ratings and solid build quality reinforce the impression that this is a cooker designed for serious, everyday use.
The higher price, lack of full self-cleaning across all cavities and absence of a control lock may give some buyers pause, but for most households upgrading to a proper range, these are minor trade-offs. If you want a stylish cream and chrome centrepiece that performs as good as it looks and you are prepared to invest in professional installation, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice.
