The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EIWH/C is a 110cm electric range cooker with a powerful induction hob, aimed squarely at households that cook a lot and want a statement appliance to match. With four cavities, including two large 79-litre ovens, and a five-zone induction hob, it is built to handle everything from Sunday roasts to batch baking.
This is very much a premium model, both in specification and price, so it is best seen as a long-term investment rather than an impulse buy. Rangemaster is a well-regarded British brand for range cookers, and that shows here in the solid build, thoughtful touches like the Handyrack and glide-out grill, and the contemporary white-and-chrome styling.
With a 4.8 out of 5 rating from around 270 owner reviews, reliability and day-to-day performance appear to be strong, which helps justify the outlay if you genuinely need this level of capacity and flexibility.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households, keen cooks and anyone who regularly entertains. The twin 79-litre ovens mean you can roast meat in one cavity while batch baking or cooking sides in the other without juggling trays. If your kitchen is the hub of the home and you often cook three or four dishes at once, this layout makes life noticeably easier.
It also suits buyers looking for a safer, more controllable alternative to gas. The five-zone induction hob heats quickly, responds instantly to changes in temperature and includes pan detection, so it only activates when a suitable pan is in place. That is reassuring if you have children wandering through the kitchen or are prone to distraction.
Budget-wise, this is very much at the premium end of electric range cookers. It makes most sense if you will use the features regularly – for example, if you cook from scratch most nights or host big family gatherings. If you only occasionally fill a single oven and rarely use a grill, you may struggle to justify the extra spend and physical space.
It is also a strong option for renovators who want a modern, professional-looking centrepiece. The 110cm width and clean white finish with chrome detailing suit open-plan and shaker-style kitchens where the cooker is always on show.
The standout strength here is capacity. Two full-size 79-litre ovens, plus a dedicated variable electric grill and a storage compartment, give you four distinct cavities to organise your cooking. You can slow cook, roast, bake and grill simultaneously without compromise.
The five-zone induction hob is a real asset in everyday use. With power outputs up to 3kW, it boils pans quickly and offers fine control for simmering. Pan detection brings an extra layer of safety and efficiency, as energy is only used when a suitable pan is on the zone.
Rangemaster’s convenience features are genuinely useful rather than gimmicky. Rapid Response preheats the main oven quickly, so you spend less time waiting before you can start cooking. The Handyrack lets you pull the roasting tray out with the door, making it easier and safer to baste and check meats, while the glide-out grill is much more comfortable to use than a standard fixed grill tray.
Cleaning has been well thought through. Both main ovens have catalytic stay-clean liners on the sides to absorb grease during normal cooking, and the remaining interiors use easy-clean enamel. That keeps scrubbing to a minimum compared with standard steel cavities.
Finally, the build feels solid and reassuring. Triple-glazed doors help keep heat in, the Catch-rite door fixtures give a positive close, and the programmable LED timer means you can time multiple dishes more accurately.
The obvious drawback is cost – this is a high-priced range cooker, so it will not suit tighter budgets or those who simply do not need so much capacity.
Despite the premium positioning, there are a few omissions. There is no child lock on the control panel, and the hob does not list a residual heat indicator, both of which are features some buyers expect on a top-end induction model.
Only the sides of the main and second ovens have catalytic liners, so you will still need to clean the backs, floors and doors manually. The third cavity (the grill) uses a standard enamel interior without self-cleaning liners, so it may need extra attention if you grill frequently.
The cooker must be hard-wired by an electrician and draws up to 16.24kW, requiring a substantial 45-amp supply. In some homes, especially older properties, that could mean additional installation costs to upgrade the electrics.
Lastly, the second oven has no interior light and only a single fan function, which feels a touch basic for such a large and expensive appliance. It still cooks well, but it is not as feature-rich as some might expect.
Living with the Professional Deluxe 110 is all about space and organisation. The layout – main multifunction oven bottom left, large fan oven top right, variable grill top left and storage compartment bottom right – quickly becomes intuitive. You can dedicate one oven to roasting, one to baking and keep trays and tins neatly stowed underneath.
The rotary controls are straightforward and satisfyingly chunky, which makes them easy to operate even with wet or floury hands. The LED programmable timer is clear and practical, helping you manage longer slow-cook dishes alongside quick midweek meals.
On the hob, the smooth glass induction surface is easy to wipe clean and provides a flat area for pans. With five zones and a sensible spread of power ratings from 1.15 to 3kW, there is enough flexibility for searing steaks, simmering sauces and gently melting chocolate side by side. Pan detection means zones will not heat inadvertently, which feels reassuring in a busy kitchen.
Cleaning is less of a chore than you might expect for such a large cooker. The catalytic liners in the main and second ovens help burn off splashes as you cook, and the enamelled surfaces elsewhere respond well to a wipe down once cool. The glide-out grill tray also makes it easier to access and clean the grill pan.
Noise levels are typical for a modern fan oven – you will hear the fans running, but they should not dominate an open-plan space. With the triple-glazed doors, heat stays contained, so the front surfaces get warm but not uncomfortably hot, even during long roasts.
In terms of core cooking performance, this Rangemaster is strong. The main 79-litre multifunction oven offers eight functions, including fan-assisted cooking, conventional top-and-bottom heat, bottom-only element and a defrost setting. That gives you the flexibility to crisp the base of pizzas, bake delicate sponges and roast large joints with confidence.
The second 79-litre cavity is a full-size fan oven rated A for efficiency. While it only has a single function, fan cooking, it delivers even heat distribution, making it ideal for batch baking trays of biscuits or cooking multiple dishes at once without worrying about hot spots.
The dedicated 25-litre variable electric grill in the third cavity is a useful addition. With the glide-out mechanism, you can slide the tray towards you to turn bacon or toast without reaching into a hot space, reducing the risk of burns. Open-door grilling keeps a watchful eye on browning, although you do need to stand by it.
The induction hob is a major performance highlight. With five zones and a power range between 1.15 and 3kW, it heats up rapidly and responds almost instantly to changes in setting. The auto heat-up function helps bring pans to temperature quickly before dropping to the level you set, and pan detection improves both safety and efficiency.
Energy performance is respectable for such a large appliance, with both main ovens achieving A-energy ratings. Fan cooking consumption is quoted at 0.83–0.88kWh, which is reasonable given the generous capacities. Combined with the rapid preheat function, you are not wasting as much energy heating a big oven for long periods before cooking actually starts.
Smaller touches also add up: the Handyrack makes handling heavy roasting trays safer, triple-glazed windows help maintain temperatures and the automatic safety shut-off adds an extra layer of protection if something is left on inadvertently.
With a list price around £3,185, this Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium bracket for electric range cookers. You are paying for both the sheer amount of cooking space and the specification: two large A-rated ovens, a dedicated grill, a storage compartment and a five-zone induction hob with advanced features.
On features alone, it compares well with other high-end ranges. Induction hobs at this width are rarely cheap, and the inclusion of Rapid Response preheat, catalytic liners, Handyrack and a glide-out grill help justify the step up from more basic models.
The strong user feedback also supports its value proposition. A 4.8/5 average rating from 270 reviews suggests owners are broadly very happy with the performance and reliability over time, which matters when you are investing this much in a cornerstone appliance.
That said, the value only really stacks up if you will use its capacity and features regularly. For smaller households or occasional cooks, a simpler 60cm or 90cm cooker would be more economical to buy and run. But for large families and keen home chefs looking for a long-term, feature-rich centrepiece, it offers solid value within the premium segment.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EIWH/C is an impressive electric range cooker that delivers on its promise of big capacity, modern induction cooking and thoughtful design touches. It feels built for busy, food-focused households that want professional-style flexibility without stepping into full commercial equipment.
Its strengths lie in the twin 79-litre ovens, responsive five-zone induction hob and practical features like catalytic liners, Rapid Response preheat, Handyrack and glide-out grill. Combined with the smart white-and-chrome finish and robust build, it is a cooker that looks and performs the part.
The main caveats are the premium price, the need for a suitable high-amp electrical supply and a few missing niceties such as a control panel lock, residual heat indicators and an interior light in the second oven. If those are not deal-breakers and you will make full use of the capacity, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice that should serve as the heart of your kitchen for many years.
