The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFCY/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker aimed squarely at busy family kitchens and keen home cooks. With two large electric ovens, a dedicated electric grill and a five‑burner gas hob, it’s designed to handle everything from Sunday roasts to midweek batch cooking.
Rangemaster is a respected British brand and this model feels every inch the premium choice, helped by the striking cranberry finish and contemporary styling. It’s not a budget buy, but you are getting a very fully featured cooker with thoughtful extras like catalytic liners, a Handyrack and a glide‑out grill.
Backed by an excellent 4.7 out of 5 rating from well over a thousand owner reviews, it’s clearly a cooker that performs well in real homes as well as on paper.
This 90cm Rangemaster is ideal for families and anyone who regularly cooks for a crowd. With a 79‑litre multifunction main oven, a 67‑litre fan oven and a separate electric grill, you can roast, bake and grill all at once without juggling trays.
It suits buyers looking for a premium, long‑term upgrade rather than an entry‑level cooker. Dual fuel gives you the responsiveness of gas on the hob with the accuracy and evenness of electric ovens, which will appeal if you’re particular about your cooking results.
If you enjoy hosting, batch cooking or baking, the combination of two full‑size ovens, a powerful wok burner and sturdy cast‑iron pan supports makes this a very capable centrepiece for an open‑plan or larger kitchen. The A/A energy ratings also help keep running costs sensible for such a large appliance.
On the other hand, if you have a compact kitchen, a tight budget or do mostly simple, one‑dish meals, this level of capacity and flexibility may be more than you really need.
The twin electric ovens are a major plus. The 79‑litre multifunction main oven gives you eight different cooking modes, so you can tailor heat for everything from crisp pizzas to slow roasts, while the 67‑litre fan oven offers reliably even heat for batch baking.
The gas hob layout is excellent: five burners with cast‑iron pan supports and a dedicated wok burner (up to 4 kW) give fast heat and plenty of room for larger pans and family‑sized pots. Automatic ignition and flame failure safety devices keep things straightforward and safe.
Cleaning is easier than you’d expect from a range cooker thanks to catalytic liners in the main cavity and easy‑clean enamel in the others. These help break down grease as you cook, cutting down on deep‑cleaning sessions.
Thoughtful touches like the glide‑out grill, the Handyrack on the main oven door, triple‑glazed doors, programmable electronic timer and height‑adjustable legs all add to the feeling of a well‑designed, user‑friendly cooker.
A solid 2‑year manufacturer warranty and the very strong user rating make it feel like a secure, long‑term investment.
This is a premium cooker with a matching price tag, so it won’t suit smaller budgets or rental properties where spending heavily on appliances is harder to justify.
Although the main oven has catalytic liners, the second oven and grill rely on enamel interiors, so they will still need more traditional cleaning. There’s no pyrolytic self‑cleaning option anywhere, which some similarly priced models now offer.
The second oven and grill cavities lack interior lights, which can be a mild annoyance when you’re grilling or baking on multiple levels. There’s also no child lock on the controls, so households with very young children may need to be extra cautious.
Installation is another consideration: it needs hard wiring by an electrician and connection by a Gas Safe engineer, and there’s no hose, plug or LPG conversion kit included, which adds to the overall cost if you’re switching fuels or moving services.
Day to day, the Professional Deluxe feels robust and reassuring. Rotary controls and a clear LED programmable timer keep operation simple, even if you’re not especially tech‑savvy. Automatic ignition on the hob and ovens means no fiddling with matches or separate spark buttons.
The five‑burner gas hob offers plenty of space, with strong cast‑iron pan supports that hold large pots securely. The wok burner is perfectly placed for stir‑fries or rapid boiling, while the smaller burners are good for simmering sauces without scorching. Because the hob surface is steel, it will show spills, but the flat layout and removable pan supports make it manageable to wipe down.
Inside the main oven, the Handyrack mounted on the door makes checking roasts much easier – you can baste or test meat without completely removing the tray. The glide‑out grill in the third cavity is similarly user‑friendly, sliding smoothly so you can turn food without reaching into a hot space.
Heat‑retaining, triple‑glazed doors and efficient fan assistance help the ovens reach and maintain temperature consistently, which you’ll notice in more even bakes and reliable timing. The lack of lights in the second oven and grill is noticeable, but not a deal‑breaker once you’re familiar with the cooker.
Cleaning is relatively low‑effort for a range of this size. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main oven soak up grease during normal cooking, and the enamel interiors wipe clean more easily than bare metal, provided you keep on top of spills.
Performance is a strong point here. The 79‑litre multifunction main oven offers eight cooking functions, including conventional heat, fan assistance and a dedicated defrost setting. This variety lets you fine‑tune how you cook different dishes; for example, using conventional heat for crisp, golden roasts or fan modes for even tray bakes on multiple shelves.
The second 67‑litre electric fan oven is straightforward but very capable. As a pure fan oven it excels at even, consistent heat across four shelves, so you can bake multiple cakes, biscuits or trays of vegetables at once with less risk of hotspots.
Up top, the gas hob’s five burners span a useful power range from gentle 1 kW simmering to a powerful 4 kW wok burner. This gives you good control whether you’re melting chocolate, cooking pasta or flash‑frying. Cast‑iron supports help with pan stability and stand up well to daily use.
The dedicated electric grill in the third cavity adds another layer of flexibility. It’s a variable electric grill with a glide‑out tray, ideal for quick cheese on toast, crisping pasta bakes or grilling bacon while the ovens are full. Open‑door grilling and the top‑mounted element give direct, controllable heat.
Safety and convenience features are well covered: automatic safety shut‑off, flame failure devices, triple‑glazed doors for better heat retention, and an electronic programmable timer for accurate timing. The A/A energy ratings indicate good efficiency for a range cooker of this size, helping to offset the higher upfront cost over years of use.
This Rangemaster sits firmly in the premium bracket for 90cm dual fuel range cookers. You’re paying a noticeable premium over basic or mid‑range models, but you are getting a specification, build and feature set that justify it for many households.
Two genuinely large ovens, a separate grill, a powerful five‑burner hob, catalytic liners, Handyrack, glide‑out grill and solid cast‑iron supports all contribute to a cooker that feels built for serious home cooking rather than occasional use.
The very strong 4.7/5 rating from a large number of reviews suggests owners generally feel they’ve had good value, especially given the cooker’s reliability and performance over time. The 2‑year warranty is decent, though not exceptional at this price; some buyers might like longer cover, but the overall reputation of the brand helps.
If you only cook simple meals or don’t need the extra capacity, you could save money with a smaller or simpler cooker. For keen cooks who will use the flexibility regularly, however, it represents strong value as a long‑term investment in a key kitchen appliance.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFCY/C is a highly capable, well‑designed 90cm dual fuel range cooker that lives up to its premium badge. It combines generous oven capacities, a powerful and practical gas hob, and thoughtful design touches that make everyday cooking smoother and more enjoyable.
Its main drawbacks are the higher purchase price, the need for professional installation and the lack of advanced self‑cleaning or interior lights in the secondary cavities. For most households who are actively looking for a quality range, these will be minor compromises rather than deal‑breakers.
If you’re a keen home cook or a busy family that wants a stylish, reliable and flexible cooker to be the heart of the kitchen, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice. If budget is tight or your cooking is more occasional, a simpler model may serve you just as well at a lower cost.
