The Rangemaster Nexus SE NEXSE110DFFIV/C is a 110cm dual fuel range cooker that aims squarely at serious home cooks and busy family kitchens. With its ivory and chrome finish, it has a premium, contemporary look that will make a feature of any open-plan space.
You get four separate cavities – two full-sized electric ovens, a dedicated grill and a slow cook oven – plus a seven-zone gas hob with wok burner and multi-zone area. It’s a very well‑specified cooker from a respected British brand, and the A/A energy ratings are reassuring for something this large.
Owners clearly rate it highly: with a 4.9 out of 5 score from 99 reviews, feedback is overwhelmingly positive, suggesting that the Nexus SE delivers on its promise of capacity, flexibility and ease of use.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households, keen cooks and anyone who regularly entertains. The twin 79-litre ovens give you the space to handle a roast, traybakes and sides all at once, while the separate grill and slow cook oven mean you can keep dishes warm or gently braise without tying up your main cooking space.
It’s a premium choice rather than a budget buy, best suited to those planning a long-term kitchen upgrade who want a statement piece that will be used daily. If you cook simple meals for one or two people and rarely use the oven, it is likely to be overkill.
Dual fuel makes it a strong option for confident cooks who like the responsiveness of gas on the hob with the consistency of electric ovens for baking and roasting. Features like the Rapid Response preheat, telescopic shelf runners and Handyrack also make it friendly for enthusiastic but less experienced cooks who want reliable results without constant juggling.
You’ll need enough space for the 110cm width and access to both a suitable electrical supply and gas – plus professional installation – so it’s best suited to those renovating or planning a new kitchen layout.
The standout strength of the Nexus SE is sheer capacity and flexibility. Two large 79-litre ovens, a separate full-width electric grill and a dedicated slow cook oven mean you can cook multiple courses and sides together without compromise, which is perfect for Christmas, dinner parties or batch cooking.
The gas hob offers seven burners with cast iron pan supports, including a powerful wok burner and a multi-zone area, so you can simmer, sear and stir-fry with confidence. Having a wide range of burner powers from 1kW up to 4kW makes it easy to match heat output to the pan and dish.
Day-to-day usability is well thought out. The Handyrack lets you pull the roasting tray out on the door for easy basting, while telescopic shelf runners reduce the risk of spills when checking food. Rapid Response speeds up preheating, cutting waiting time when you just want to get dinner in the oven.
Cleaning is helped by catalytic stay-clean liners in both main ovens and easy-clean enamel elsewhere, which absorb or wipe away grease more easily than bare metal interiors. Triple-glazed doors improve insulation and keep the outer glass cooler, and the flame failure devices on the gas hob add an important layer of safety.
The high user rating and two-year manufacturer warranty (for domestic use) reinforce the impression of a robust, well-engineered cooker designed to last.
This is a sizeable and premium range cooker, so it won’t suit smaller kitchens or tighter budgets. At 110cm wide and with a requirement for both hard-wired electrical connection and a Gas Safe engineer, installation is more involved and costly than a standard cooker.
Despite the strong feature set, there are a few omissions. Neither main oven has removable inner door glass, which can make deep cleaning the doors more fiddly. There’s also no residual heat indicator, so you need to be cautious around the hob surface after cooking.
While catalytic liners significantly cut down cleaning in the two main ovens, the grill cavity only has an enamel interior, so it will need more regular manual scrubbing, especially if you grill fatty foods frequently.
The supplied wok cradle is listed as an extra-cost option rather than included as standard, which feels a bit mean at this price point. And with lots of burners and four cavities, there’s a fair amount of surface area to wipe down after a big cook, even if the materials do help keep things manageable.
Living with the Nexus SE feels reassuringly like using a professional-style cooker, but with features aimed at making everyday life easier. Rotary controls and an LED programmable timer keep operation straightforward, and automatic ignition on the hob means you’re not hunting for matches or a lighter.
The two main ovens give you a lot of flexibility day to day. The multifunction oven offers eight settings, including fan assistance and traditional top-and-bottom heat, so you can choose what suits everything from bread to delicate bakes. The second cavity acts as a straightforward fan oven, ideal for batch cooking, midweek trays or using alongside the main oven for bigger meals.
The dedicated slow cook oven is particularly handy if you like stews, casseroles or pulled meats. You can load it up in the morning and let it gently do its thing while still having both main ovens and the grill free later.
On the hob, the gas layout with seven burners and robust cast iron supports gives plenty of room for large pans without everything feeling crowded. The inclusion of a multi-zone area and a griddle plate in the box lets you grill or fry on the surface, which is great for weekend breakfasts or quick sears. Flame failure devices cut off the gas if the flame goes out, which is reassuring in a busy household.
Cleaning is less of a chore than you might expect for a cooker this size. Catalytic liners in both main ovens help break down grease during normal cooking, and easy-clean enamel in other cavities wipes down fairly quickly. That said, the amount of metal and glass means you’ll still need to set aside time for an occasional deeper clean, especially around the hob.
Performance is a clear strength of this Rangemaster. The dual 79-litre ovens are A rated for energy efficiency and give consistent, even heat, helped by fan assistance in both. The multifunction main oven can be set up for classic baking with top-and-bottom elements or faster, more even browning using the fan and top element together.
Rapid Response is a key feature if you’re impatient with preheating. It brings the oven up to temperature much more quickly than standard, which is ideal for busy weeknights when you want to get food in the oven without a long wait.
On the hob, the seven gas zones cover everything from gentle 1kW simmering for sauces to up to 4kW on the wok burner for high-heat stir-fries. Cast iron pan supports provide stability and a more professional feel, and the multi-zone area paired with the included griddle broadens the range of cooking styles you can tackle without extra small appliances.
The third cavity is a full-width electric grill with variable control, allowing you to toast, brown or grill independently of the main ovens. It uses a glide-out grill carriage, so you can slide food out safely to check or turn it, which is a detail many users come to appreciate.
Convenience touches run throughout: the Handyrack clips to the oven door so roasts come out to meet you, telescopic runners make heavy trays easier to handle, and the programmable electronic timer means you can set start and stop times without hovering. Safety is supported by automatic safety shut-off and flame failure devices, while triple-glazed windows help keep external door temperatures lower and improve energy efficiency.
Overall, the feature set is comprehensive, especially for home cooks who like to experiment. While it doesn’t offer high-tech extras like Wi‑Fi connectivity, it focuses on proven, practical cooking features that deliver tangible benefits.
This Nexus SE is undoubtedly a premium purchase, sitting at the higher end of the dual fuel range cooker market. You’re paying for a combination of capacity, build quality, dual fuel flexibility and thoughtful design extras that cheaper, narrower models simply don’t offer.
The two huge A-rated ovens, extra slow cook oven, dedicated grill and seven-burner hob mean it can comfortably replace several smaller appliances. For busy families or keen cooks who will use those capabilities regularly, that makes the investment easier to justify.
The very strong customer feedback – a 4.9/5 score from 99 reviews – suggests most owners feel they’re getting what they paid for, if not more. The two-year manufacturer warranty for domestic use is decent, though at this price a longer standard warranty would have been welcome.
If you rarely cook for more than two people or don’t need multiple ovens, this model will feel expensive for what you use. But if you want a centrepiece cooker that can handle everything from weekday suppers to big entertaining, the Nexus SE offers strong value within the premium segment.
The Rangemaster Nexus SE NEXSE110DFFIV/C is a highly capable, feature-rich range cooker that’s clearly been designed with serious home cooks in mind. Twin 79-litre ovens, a separate grill, a slow cook cavity and a seven-burner gas hob add up to outstanding versatility, while features like Rapid Response, Handyrack and catalytic liners make it more practical to live with than many large cookers.
The trade-offs are its size, installation demands and premium price. You’ll need a generous kitchen, appropriate electrical and gas supplies and a healthy budget to make it work. Some small omissions, like the lack of removable inner door glass and residual heat indicators, are minor niggles rather than dealbreakers.
If you have the space and the budget, and you actually use your kitchen for regular family cooking or entertaining, this Nexus SE is an excellent choice that feels built to last. Lighter cooks or those in smaller homes may be better served by a simpler, more compact model, but for those who will exploit its capacity and features, it’s a standout option.
