The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFCY/C is a 100cm dual fuel range cooker that mixes a five-burner gas hob with two large electric ovens and a separate grill. Finished in a deep cranberry red, it is designed to be a statement piece as much as a workhorse.
Rangemaster is one of the most established names in range cookers, and this model clearly targets the premium end of the market, both in price and specification. With multifunction and fan ovens, cast iron pan supports, a wok burner and helpful touches like catalytic liners and a glide-out grill, it is set up for keen home cooks who use their oven a lot.
With a 4.8 out of 5 rating from well over 600 owner reviews, it is not just the spec sheet that impresses. Real-world users consistently rate it highly for performance and build, which backs up its positioning as a long-term investment appliance.
This cooker is ideal for larger households and anyone who regularly cooks for guests. With two full-sized electric ovens (79L and 82L) plus a separate 25L grill, there is plenty of space to handle Sunday roasts, batch baking or dinner parties without juggling trays.
It suits confident home cooks and enthusiastic bakers who want precise electric oven control alongside the speed and responsiveness of a gas hob. The five-burner layout with a dedicated wok burner and supplied griddle will appeal if you cook varied meals, from stir-fries to full English breakfasts.
Given its 100cm width and premium price point, it is best suited to medium and large kitchens where it can be the focal point of a run of units or sit in a range-style chimney. If you are upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker and want a long-lasting, UK-made appliance with more capacity and features, this is a strong candidate.
If you are on a strict budget, or have a compact galley kitchen, the size and cost may be more than you really need. But for those planning a new kitchen or a major upgrade, it has the specification to justify being the centrepiece.
The twin electric ovens are a real highlight. The main 79L multifunction cavity offers eight cooking functions, so you can tailor heat to everything from slow roasts to crisp pizzas, while the 82L fan oven gives you masses of extra space when you are cooking on multiple shelves.
The five-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports and a 1–4kW power range, including a dedicated wok burner, gives you fast response and stable support for everything from small saucepans to large stock pots. The supplied griddle adds flexibility for searing steaks or cooking breakfasts without needing an extra pan.
Cleaning is easier than on many traditional ranges. Catalytic stay-clean liners in the main cavity help break down grease during cooking, while the other ovens and grill use easy-clean enamel. The glide-out grill tray and Handyrack on the main oven door make it safer and more convenient to access food.
Build and safety are also strong points. Triple-glazed doors, flame failure devices on the hob, automatic safety shut-off and solid-feeling rotary controls all suggest a cooker designed to last. A programmable electronic timer and LED display help you stay in control of longer cooks.
The very strong owner rating, backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty, reinforces the impression that this is a dependable, well thought-out appliance.
This is a premium-priced cooker, so while the specification is strong, it will be overkill for smaller households or those on tighter budgets who will not use the extra capacity.
Although the main oven has catalytic liners, the second oven and grill are enamel only, so they will still need more traditional cleaning. The catalytic liners are limited to the sides rather than a full interior treatment.
Neither the second oven nor the grill has an interior light, which can make it harder to check on food without opening the door or pulling the grill out. There is also no child lock on the control panel, which families with curious little ones may miss.
Installation is more involved than a standard cooker: it needs hard wiring by an electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, and accessories like the LPG conversion kit and gas hose are not included.
Day to day, the Professional Deluxe feels designed to work with you rather than against you. The rotary controls are clear and familiar, and automatic ignition on the hob means you can get burners going quickly without juggling matches or lighters.
The layout of the cavities is logical: main multifunction oven bottom left, large fan oven top right, and the dedicated grill top left. That makes it easy to remember where everything is and to separate baking, roasting and grilling. The programmable electronic clock and minute minder help you time more involved meals and switch the main oven on or off automatically for slow cooks.
Rangemaster’s Handyrack, which attaches a roasting tray to the main oven door, is genuinely useful. Pull the door open and the tray comes out with it, giving you quick access for basting without leaning into a hot cavity. Telescopic shelf runners add to the sense of security when moving heavy dishes.
Cleaning is manageable for a cooker of this size. The catalytic liners in the main oven reduce baked-on grease over time, while the smooth enamel in the other cavities wipes down easily if you stay on top of spills. The glide-out grill makes it easier to clean and safer to use, as you can see what you are doing without reaching into the cavity.
Its 100cm width and solid construction mean this is not something you will be moving around once installed, but height adjustment on the legs helps you get a flush fit with your worktops for a built-in look.
Performance starts with the ovens. The main 79L multifunction oven combines several heating modes in one cavity, so you can choose fan, conventional-style heat, defrost and more depending on what you are cooking. With an A energy rating and fan consumption of 0.88kWh, it is efficient for its size and well suited to everything from bread to slow roasts.
The second 82L oven is a straightforward electric fan oven with an A rating, designed to cook evenly on every shelf. With four shelves included and a large capacity, it is ideal for batch baking, traybakes or cooking multiple side dishes alongside a main course.
On the hob, five gas burners with a 1–4kW range give you proper control from gentle simmering to rapid boiling. The wok burner is powerful enough for fast stir-frying, while robust cast iron pan supports keep everything stable and allow you to slide pans around. Automatic ignition and flame failure safety devices ensure quick lighting and peace of mind.
The dedicated variable electric grill in the third cavity is another strong feature, especially as it is a glide-out design. You can set the intensity for anything from cheese on toast to crisping up crackling, and because the grill tray pulls out fully, it is easier to judge browning and turn food safely.
Useful convenience touches round things off: automatic safety shut-off, a triple-glazed door to keep more heat in the ovens, and height-adjustable feet for a precise fit. LPG compatibility (with separately purchased kit) means it can be adapted for homes without mains gas, widening its appeal for rural properties.
This is clearly a premium range cooker, both in terms of price and specification. You are paying for a 100cm dual fuel setup with two genuinely large ovens, a separate grill, a five-burner gas hob and a long list of convenience and safety features.
Against simpler or narrower cookers, it will look expensive, but the capacity and versatility it offers can replace the need for additional small appliances and give you the flexibility of a semi-professional setup at home. The inclusion of catalytic liners, a Handyrack, telescopic runners and a glide-out grill all help justify the extra outlay compared with more basic ranges.
The very strong owner feedback – a 4.8/5 rating from hundreds of reviews – suggests that most buyers feel they have had good value, particularly given the solid build and UK manufacture. The 2-year manufacturer warranty is respectable, though not class-leading at this price, so it is worth factoring in whether you would add extended cover.
If you will make full use of the dual ovens, gas hob and grill on a regular basis, the Professional Deluxe represents sound value as a long-term purchase. If your cooking is more occasional, a smaller or simpler cooker may make more financial sense.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFCY/C is a highly capable, feature-rich dual fuel range cooker aimed squarely at serious home cooks and busy families. Its twin large ovens, responsive gas hob with wok burner, and separate variable grill give you the flexibility to handle almost any cooking task with confidence.
Thoughtful touches like catalytic liners in the main oven, the Handyrack, glide-out grill and robust cast iron supports make it easier and safer to use day to day. The stylish cranberry finish and contemporary styling mean it looks the part as the centrepiece of a modern kitchen, and strong owner ratings back up its premium feel.
The main caveats are the high price and the need for professional installation, along with the lack of interior lights in the second oven and grill. If you have the space and budget, and you want a UK-made range that will comfortably keep up with family life and entertaining, this Rangemaster deserves a place at the top of your shortlist.
