A serious range cooker for busy family kitchens

The Rangemaster Nexus NEX110DFFBL/C is a 110cm dual fuel range cooker aimed squarely at households that take cooking seriously. With two full-sized electric ovens, a dedicated grill and a warming compartment, plus a seven-burner mixed-fuel hob, it is designed to handle big family roasts, batch cooking and entertaining without breaking a sweat.

Rangemaster is a well-regarded British brand in range cookers, and this model feels every bit the premium option, from its contemporary styling to the solid cast-iron pan supports. Its A/A energy rating keeps it efficient for its size, and the 4.9 out of 5 owner rating from 99 reviews suggests it is not just impressive on paper but genuinely well liked in real kitchens.

With a price firmly at the top end of the cooker market, this is an investment piece. The generous capacity, flexible hob and easy-clean features go a long way to justifying that price for the right household.

Who this range cooker is best for

The Nexus NEX110DFFBL/C is ideal for larger households, food lovers and anyone who regularly cooks for a crowd. With two 79-litre ovens plus a separate grill and warming compartment, it suits big Sunday roasts, Christmas dinners and batch cooking sessions where a standard single oven simply runs out of space.

It is a strong fit for open-plan kitchens and modern refurbishments where the cooker becomes a focal point. The sleek black finish and contemporary styling look more upmarket than a basic freestanding cooker, and the 110cm width demands a generous run of cabinets to sit in.

This is very much a premium purchase rather than an entry-level choice. If you are upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker and want something that feels like a professional piece of kit without moving to full commercial appliances, the dual fuel layout – gas and electric zones plus a wok burner – will particularly appeal to keen home cooks.

On the other hand, if you live in a small flat, cook for one or two people, or rarely use more than one oven shelf at a time, this model is likely to be overkill in both size and budget.

What we like

The standout strength here is capacity and flexibility. Two huge 79-litre electric ovens mean you can roast meat in one, bake trays of veg or desserts in the other, and still have a dedicated electric grill cavity ready for crisping and melting. The fourth warming compartment is a real bonus when entertaining, keeping dishes hot without drying them out.

The seven-zone mixed-fuel hob is excellent for varied cooking styles. You get a powerful wok burner for stir-fries, multiple gas burners for pans, plus electric zones via the multizone, so you are not locked into one fuel type. Cast iron pan supports add stability and a premium feel.

Ease of cleaning is well thought through. Catalytic liners in both main ovens help break down grease during normal cooking, while easy-clean enamel in the grill cavity keeps splashes from becoming a chore. Combined with triple-glazed doors and telescopic shelf runners, it feels refined and practical in day-to-day use.

Useful touches like the programmable electronic timer, automatic safety shut off, flame failure safety devices and the Handyrack roasting tray system show Rangemaster has considered real-world cooking, not just headline specs.

Where it could be better

The most obvious drawback is price: this is a premium range cooker and will be out of reach if you are working with a modest kitchen budget. For smaller households, much of the capacity may go unused, making it harder to justify the spend.

Despite the high-end positioning, there are a few omissions. There is no pyrolytic self-cleaning function, so while catalytic liners help, you will still need to do some manual cleaning, especially in the grill cavity. The lack of a control panel lock may also concern families with very young children.

Installation is more involved than a simple plug-in cooker. It requires hard wiring by an electrician and fitting by a Gas Safe engineer, with no cable, hose or LPG conversion kit included in the box. That adds extra cost on top of the purchase price.

Finally, there are no smart connectivity or advanced cooking programmes here – it is traditional in operation. Many cooks will actually prefer that, but if you are looking for app control or guided cooking, you will not find it on this model.

Everyday use

Day to day, the Nexus NEX110DFFBL/C feels like a very capable and reassuringly solid centrepiece in the kitchen. Rotary controls and a clear LED display keep it straightforward to operate, and the programmable timer makes it easy to time roasts or bakes without hovering nearby.

The main multifunction oven gives you plenty of control, from simple fan cooking for even results, to top and bottom element modes when you want more traditional baking or extra browning. The second fan oven mirrors that generous capacity, so using both together quickly becomes second nature for larger meals.

The dedicated grill in the third cavity is handy for quick snacks, breakfasts and finishing dishes. Because it is separate from the main ovens, you do not need to shuffle racks around or compromise on space.

Cleaning is manageable for such a large appliance. The catalytic liners on the oven sides quietly work in the background as you cook, reducing baked-on residue so that a wipe down is usually enough. Easy-clean enamel in the grill cavity also helps. You will still have to put in a bit of elbow grease now and then, but not as much as with a completely unlined oven.

At 110cm wide, it is a substantial piece to live with, so you will want good access around it and suitable extraction above the hob – the recommended 75cm minimum distance to a cooker hood is worth planning for.

Performance and features

Performance-wise, this Rangemaster plays to its strengths as a dual fuel range. The gas burners offer instant, responsive heat for everyday cooking, while the electric ovens deliver consistent, even results for baking and roasting. The burner power range of 1–4kW, plus a dedicated wok burner, gives you both gentle simmering and powerful searing on tap.

The main 79-litre oven is multifunctional with eight cooking modes, including fan assistance, conventional top and bottom heating, top-only and a defrost setting. That variety lets you tailor the heat to everything from slow roasts to batch baking and delicate pastries. The second 79-litre fan oven keeps things simple and reliable, ideal when you need straightforward, even heat across multiple shelves.

The third cavity houses a full-width variable electric grill, great for crisp bacon, cheese on toast or browning gratins. Because it sits in its own 25-litre space, you can grill without compromising oven temperatures. The fourth cavity is a warming compartment, a small but very useful addition when juggling multiple dishes or serving in courses.

Safety and convenience are well covered. Flame failure devices cut off gas if a flame goes out, the doors are triple glazed to keep more heat in the cavity and less on the glass, and automatic ignition makes lighting the burners quick and clean. Telescopic shelf runners and the Handyrack roasting tray system make it easier and safer to slide heavy trays in and out.

Energy consumption figures are respectable for such large ovens, with A ratings for both main and second cavities. For a household that uses the cooker heavily, that efficiency, combined with the flexibility of four cavities and seven burners, adds up to a very capable all-round performer.

Value for money

This is clearly positioned as a premium range cooker, and its price reflects that. You are paying for both the sheer amount of cooking space and the build quality that comes with the Rangemaster name.

In terms of what you get for your money, the specification is generous: two full-size A-rated ovens, a separate grill, a warming compartment, a seven-zone mixed-fuel hob with wok burner, catalytic liners and thoughtful touches like telescopic runners and the Handyrack. For serious home cooks or busy families who will use that capacity regularly, the cost is easier to justify.

The strong 4.9/5 user rating from 99 reviews is also encouraging. It suggests that, for most buyers, the Nexus delivers the performance and reliability expected at this price point. Running costs are kept reasonable by the efficient ovens, and there is a two-year manufacturer’s warranty for added peace of mind.

If your budget is tight or your cooking is light, there are certainly cheaper cookers that will do the job. But if you are specifically looking for a large, dual fuel range that feels robust and well thought out, this model offers solid value within the premium segment.

Our verdict

The Rangemaster Nexus NEX110DFFBL/C is an impressive dual fuel range cooker that delivers on its promise of space, flexibility and solid performance. With two huge ovens, a dedicated grill, a warming compartment and a seven-burner mixed-fuel hob, it is more than capable of handling the demands of a busy family kitchen or an enthusiastic home cook who regularly juggles multiple dishes.

Its strengths lie in the combination of traditional controls with modern conveniences such as catalytic liners, telescopic shelves and safety features, all wrapped in a sleek, contemporary black design. Owner feedback is overwhelmingly positive, supporting the idea that this is a dependable, satisfying appliance to live with.

The high price, the need for professional installation and the absence of top-tier extras like pyrolytic cleaning or smart features mean it will not be the right choice for everyone. But if you have the space, the budget and the appetite to make full use of its capacity, the Nexus NEX110DFFBL/C is a standout option that should serve as the heart of your kitchen for years.
