The Rangemaster Nexus SE NEXSE110EICB/C is a 110cm-wide electric range cooker with a modern induction hob, three cooking cavities plus a dedicated slow cook oven. Finished in charcoal black with a contemporary design, it’s clearly pitched as a premium centrepiece for a busy kitchen.
With multiple large-capacity ovens, a powerful five-zone induction hob and plenty of convenience features, it’s built for households that cook a lot – especially at weekends and for big gatherings. It’s not a budget buy, but the specification and build quality reflect the higher price point.
An average user rating of 4.9 out of 5 from well over a hundred reviews suggests that owners are extremely happy with both performance and day-to-day usability, which backs up Rangemaster’s reputation in range cookers.
This Nexus SE is ideal for larger households, keen home cooks and anyone who regularly entertains. With two full-sized 79-litre ovens, a 25-litre grill cavity and a 21-litre slow cook compartment, you can comfortably handle Sunday roasts, batch cooking and dinner parties without running out of space.
It’s a strong choice if you want the responsiveness and safety of induction rather than gas. The five-zone glass induction hob, each with a boost function and pan detection, suits families, open-plan kitchens and those who value fast heat with easy wipe-clean surfaces.
Given the premium price and feature set, it makes most sense for buyers upgrading a kitchen or investing in a long-term appliance rather than kitting out a first flat. If you simply need a basic cooker for occasional use, this will be overkill; but for enthusiastic cooks who use their oven and hob daily, the extra capacity and flexibility are well justified.
It also suits those who dislike cleaning ovens. Catalytic stay-clean liners in the main and second cavities, together with easy-clean enamel elsewhere, keep maintenance relatively light compared with cheaper, bare-enamel models.
The twin 79-litre fan-assisted ovens provide a huge amount of cooking space, making it easy to cook multiple dishes at once or large joints alongside trays of sides. Having both cavities rated A for energy also helps keep running costs in check for their size.
The five-zone induction hob combines speed, control and safety. Boost functions on all zones, a bridge function for larger pans and built-in pan detection mean rapid boil times and steady low simmers, while residual heat indicators and a child lock add peace of mind in family homes.
Rangemaster’s Rapid Response™ function significantly cuts preheat times, so you’re not waiting around before getting food in the oven. Paired with a programmable electronic timer and clear LED display, it’s straightforward to time meals accurately.
Practical touches like the Handyrack (a tray that clips to the main oven door), telescopic shelf runners and a glide-out full-width electric grill make daily use less fiddly and safer when checking or basting food.
Cleaning is well thought through. Catalytic stay-clean liners on the sides of the main and second ovens absorb grease during normal cooking, while the enamel interior in the grill cavity wipes down easily. Owners who dislike deep oven scrubbing will appreciate this.
This is a high-end appliance and the price reflects that. If you won’t fully use the extra cavities, induction hob and slow cook oven, you may find better value in a simpler range or standard cooker.
Despite the A/A/A energy ratings, the connected load is a hefty 17,040W and it needs a 45-amp hard-wired electrical connection. That means professional installation is essential and not all homes will be ready for it without electrical work.
The third cavity, a 25-litre electric grill, has no interior light and only a single shelf, which can feel basic compared with the rest of the cooker. Likewise, there’s no removable inner door glass on the main oven, so deep cleaning the door itself may take more effort.
Finally, although the induction hob is flexible, there’s no dedicated wok burner or specific wok cradle, which some stir-fry fans might miss if they’re used to a powerful gas flame.
Living with the Nexus SE 110 is about having plenty of organised cooking space. The side-opening doors on the two main ovens make it easier to get heavy roasting tins in and out without leaning over a drop-down door. Combined with the Handyrack and telescopic runners, checking on food is noticeably less awkward than with many standard cookers.
The induction hob responds quickly when you turn the rotary controls, going from a gentle melt to a vigorous boil in moments, and the boost function is a real help for big pans of pasta water or rapid searing. The glass surface and clear zone markings make it straightforward to line up pans, and a quick wipe after cooking usually keeps it looking smart.
The dedicated slow cook oven in the top right comes into its own for casseroles, pulled meats and one-pot dishes you want to leave gently ticking away. Being able to keep that separate from your main oven means you can slow cook and bake or roast at the same time without juggling temperatures.
Cleaning is less of a chore than with many large cookers. The catalytic liners on the oven sides trap and break down grease during normal heating, so you mainly need to wipe flat surfaces and the door glass. The enamelled grill cavity and smooth hob surface are both easy to maintain with regular wiping. Owners do still need to occasionally give the ovens a more thorough clean, but you’re not battling baked-on grime from every surface.
The electronic clock and programmable timer are intuitive, and the triple-glazed windows on the doors help retain heat while letting you monitor progress without constantly opening the oven.
In performance terms, the Nexus SE feels every bit the premium range. Each of the two main cavities offers 79 litres of space with fan assistance, so you get even heat distribution for batch baking, multi-tray roasting and reliable results on different shelves. Energy consumption is reasonable for their size, with 0.88 kWh and 0.83 kWh in fan mode respectively.
The main multifunction oven provides eight cooking functions, including conventional heat, fan cooking, top and bottom elements and defrost. This flexibility lets you fine-tune settings whether you’re crisping pastry, slow-roasting meat or gently drying meringues. Rapid Response™ fast heat-up and a fast heat-up feature generally mean you spend less time waiting for the oven to reach temperature.
The induction hob is a real highlight. Five zones, each with boost, cover everyday pan sizes plus a larger zone for stockpots. The bridge function and multi-zone area let you treat two zones as one for griddles or large roasting pans. Pan detection and overheating protection keep things safe and efficient, cutting power when a pan is removed or not recognised.
Grilling is handled by a full-width, variable electric grill in the top left cavity, with a powerful 2300W element. The glide-out grill tray makes it easier to check toast, cheese toppings or skewers without risking burnt fingers, and open-door grilling keeps a close eye on browning.
Beyond raw performance, there are plenty of thoughtful touches: a programmable electronic timer, child lock on the hob, residual heat indicators, adjustable feet for levelling and a warming compartment to keep food hot before serving. The triple-glazed doors help with energy efficiency and keep outer surfaces cooler to touch than many older ranges.
This Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium end of the electric range cooker market, and the asking price reflects that. However, you’re not just paying for the badge: you’re getting two large A-rated ovens, a dedicated slow cook cavity, a powerful five-zone induction hob with modern safety features and a wealth of convenience touches that make everyday cooking easier.
For households that cook frequently, host gatherings and will genuinely use the capacity and flexibility on offer, the cost is easier to justify, especially when spread over many years of use. The 2-year manufacturer warranty is fairly standard rather than generous, but Rangemaster’s track record and the very strong 4.9/5 owner rating indicate that reliability and satisfaction are high.
If your budget is tight or you won’t exploit multiple ovens and an induction hob, there are more affordable ranges and standard cookers that will do the job. But if you want a feature-rich, design-led centrepiece with serious cooking credentials, the Nexus SE offers strong value within the premium bracket.
The Rangemaster Nexus SE NEXSE110EICB/C is a superb choice for serious home cooks who want a modern, induction-based range with masses of capacity and thoughtful design. Twin 79-litre ovens, a flexible five-zone hob, a dedicated slow cook oven and a powerful full-width grill add up to a cooker that can handle almost anything you throw at it.
It’s undeniably a premium purchase and requires a suitable electrical supply, so it won’t be the right fit for every home or budget. The grill cavity is a little basic compared with the rest of the appliance, and the warranty could be longer.
Overall, though, if you’re planning a long-term kitchen upgrade and want a stylish charcoal black range that’s fast, spacious and relatively easy to live with, this Nexus SE should be high on your shortlist.
