A serious range cooker for busy family kitchens

The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFWH/C is a 100cm-wide dual fuel range cooker that combines a powerful gas hob with two large electric ovens and a dedicated grill. Finished in crisp white with a contemporary look, it is designed as a statement piece for a busy kitchen.

Rangemaster is a well-regarded name in range cookers, and this model clearly aims at the premium end of the market, with features like catalytic liners, a multifunction main oven, telescopic shelves and a wok burner. It is priced firmly in premium territory, but you are getting a specification that goes beyond most freestanding cookers.

With an average user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from well over a thousand reviews, it is also a tried-and-tested choice, which should give you confidence if you are upgrading your main cooker and do not want to take a gamble.

Who this range cooker is best for

This 100cm Rangemaster is ideal for larger households and anyone who cooks frequently. With two full-sized electric ovens (79L and 82L) plus a separate 25L grill, there is ample space for Sunday roasts, baking and batch cooking all at once. If your current single oven feels cramped, this is a major step up.

It suits keen home cooks who like the control of gas on the hob but want the even, reliable results of electric ovens. The dual fuel setup, wok burner and cast iron pan supports will appeal if you regularly stir-fry, sear steaks or cook across multiple pans.

In budget terms, this is a premium purchase rather than an entry-level range. It makes most sense if you see it as a long-term investment in a kitchen you use heavily, rather than an occasional-use cooker in a second property.

It is also a good fit for households that value practicality: catalytic liners in the main oven, easy-clean enamel elsewhere, a glide-out grill and a Handyrack all help make day-to-day cooking and cleaning less of a chore.

What we like

Two large electric ovens (79L and 82L) plus a separate 25L grill give you serious flexibility for family meals and entertaining.

Dual fuel design with a five-burner gas hob, including a powerful wok burner and robust cast iron pan supports, offers excellent control and stability for everyday cooking and high-heat dishes.

The main multifunction oven comes with catalytic liners on the sides, so splashes and grease are broken down during cooking, cutting down on scrubbing.

Telescopic shelf runners, a Handyrack on the door and the glide-out grill make it much easier and safer to check on food, baste roasts and slide trays in and out.

Strong owner feedback, with a 4.7/5 rating and a high number of reviews, suggests good reliability and satisfaction over time.

Where it could be better

This is a premium-priced range cooker, so it is a significant investment compared with standard 60cm cookers and some smaller ranges.

Only the main oven has catalytic liners, while the second oven and grill rely on enamel interiors, so you will still need to do some manual cleaning.

There is no control panel lock or residual heat indicator, so households with young children will need to be extra careful.

A 2-year manufacturer warranty is decent but not outstanding at this price point, and you may want to factor in the cost of an extended warranty if you like longer cover.

Everyday use

Living with the Professional Deluxe 100 is all about having space and control. The layout is intuitive: the main multifunction oven sits bottom left, the large fan oven top right and the dedicated electric grill at the top left. Rotary controls and an LED clock with minute minder keep things straightforward, while the programmable timer is useful for planning meals around a busy day.

On the hob, five gas burners with automatic ignition cover everything from gentle simmering to high-heat wok cooking. The cast iron pan supports feel solid and allow you to slide pans between burners without lifting, which is especially handy when you are using several zones at once.

The Handyrack, which mounts a roasting tray on the main oven door, is genuinely helpful: you can baste and check on your roast without wrestling a heavy tray in mid-air. Telescopic runners further reduce the risk of spills or burnt hands when moving hot dishes.

Cleaning has clearly been considered. The main oven’s catalytic liners tackle most splatter on the sides, and both the second oven and grill cavity use easy-clean enamel to make wipe-downs simpler. While you will still need to clean the door glass and shelves by hand, upkeep is noticeably easier than on basic steel-lined ovens.

Installation does require both a qualified electrician for hard wiring (8.6kW load, 32A fuse) and a Gas Safe engineer for the hob, so you will need to plan and budget for professional fitting.

Performance and features

Performance starts with the ovens. The 79L main cavity is multifunctional, offering a range of modes to suit different foods, from everyday bakes to more involved recipes. Although it is not fan-assisted in the classic sense, it uses multiple functions and a defrost setting to handle a variety of tasks, and its A rating for energy efficiency helps keep running costs sensible.

The second cavity is a full 82L fan oven, positioned top right. This is ideal for batch baking, cooking trays of veg or handling a second main dish when you are entertaining. Fan operation helps heat circulate evenly, reducing hot spots and allowing you to cook on multiple shelves at once.

Up top, the gas hob uses five burners covering a power range of 1–4kW, so you can simmer sauces gently or blast heat under a wok. The dedicated wok burner and included griddle plate extend its versatility – perfect for searing meats, cooking breakfasts and achieving authentic stir-fries. Flame failure devices on the burners add a welcome layer of safety, cutting gas if the flame goes out.

The separate variable electric grill in the third cavity is another strong point. The glide-out design means the grill pan slides smoothly towards you, making it easy to toast, brown and finish dishes without reaching deep into a hot space. Open-door grilling gives you direct visual feedback, which many traditional cooks prefer.

Convenience features round off the package: triple glazed oven doors to keep heat in and doors cooler to the touch, automatic ignition, height-adjustable feet for a flush fit with your worktops, and telescopic shelves for safer handling of heavy trays. While there is no residual heat indicator or child lock, overall the feature set is comprehensive for a 100cm range.

Value for money

With its 100cm width, dual fuel hob, two genuinely large ovens and a separate grill, this Rangemaster clearly sits in the premium bracket for range cookers. You are paying more than you would for a standard cooker and more basic 90cm models, but you are also getting capacity and flexibility those options simply cannot match.

The specification justifies much of the cost: catalytic liners in the main oven, telescopic shelves, Handyrack, a powerful wok burner, cast iron supports and a dedicated glide-out grill all add tangible day-to-day benefits rather than just headline features. Made in the UK and backed by a 2-year warranty, it also carries the reassurance of an established brand.

Crucially, the very strong user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from a large number of owners suggests the price has not led to disappointment. Most buyers appear to feel they get what they paid for in terms of build quality, cooking results and ease of living with it. If you will use the space and features regularly, the overall value for money is impressive, though light users might be better off with something smaller and cheaper.

Our verdict

The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL100DFFWH/C is a highly capable dual fuel range cooker that delivers on the core things that matter: generous space, strong cooking performance and genuinely helpful convenience features. For busy family kitchens and keen cooks who want the precision of gas on the hob and the consistency of electric ovens, it is a compelling option.

Its main trade-offs are the premium price, the lack of catalytic liners in the second oven and grill, and the absence of certain safety extras like a control lock or residual heat indicators. None of these are deal-breakers, but they are worth being aware of before you buy.

If you are upgrading a well-used kitchen and want a stylish 100cm range that can handle everything from midweek meals to large gatherings with ease, this Professional Deluxe model deserves to be near the top of your shortlist.
