The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFGB/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker that combines a five-burner gas hob with two large electric ovens and a separate grill. It is firmly in premium territory and aimed at households that cook a lot and want the flexibility of a full range without going up to 110cm.
Rangemaster is one of the most trusted names in range cookers, and this model is a good example of why: solid build, thoughtful detailing and a specification that goes beyond the basics. With an A/A energy rating and a multifunction main oven, it is designed for everything from midweek meals to full Sunday roasts.
Owners rate it very highly, with an average score of 4.7 out of 5 from well over a thousand reviews, so it is not just well-specced on paper – it is also proven in busy kitchens.
This 90cm Rangemaster is ideal for medium to large households that cook regularly and often have several dishes on the go at once. The combination of a spacious 79-litre multifunction main oven, a 67-litre fan oven and a dedicated grill makes it well suited to families, entertainers and keen bakers.
It is a premium option rather than a budget buy, so it suits buyers who are willing to invest in a long-term centrepiece for their kitchen. If you are upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker or designing a new kitchen, this will feel like a big step up in space and flexibility.
Dual fuel makes most sense if you like the instant control of gas on the hob but want the even, predictable results of electric ovens. The powerful wok burner and cast-iron pan supports will appeal to more ambitious cooks, while the programmable timer, Handyrack and catalytic liners help make it approachable for everyday family use.
If you rarely cook for more than one or two people, or you are on a tight budget, this might be more cooker than you need. But for home cooks who want professional-style flexibility without going full commercial, it is a very strong fit.
Generous cooking space with three separate cavities: a large 79-litre multifunction main oven, a 67-litre fan oven and a 25-litre dedicated electric grill, so you can roast, bake and grill all at once.
Five-burner gas hob with cast-iron pan supports and a powerful wok burner gives you strong, responsive heat and excellent support for everything from small pans to big family pots and woks.
Multifunction main oven with eight cooking modes plus fan assistance and a defrost setting provides real flexibility, whether you are batch baking, slow roasting or simply reheating.
Catalytic stay-clean liners in the main oven and easy-clean enamel elsewhere reduce the time and effort needed to keep the interior looking fresh – burnt-on splashes are broken down during normal cooking.
Useful usability touches, including automatic ignition, a clear LED programmable timer, a glide-out grill and the Handyrack roasting tray on the door, all make day-to-day cooking that bit more convenient.
Strong safety credentials, with flame failure devices and automatic safety shut-off, plus triple-glazed doors to keep more heat inside the oven and doors cooler to the touch.
The price sits at the higher end of the market for 90cm range cookers, so it is a considered purchase rather than an impulse upgrade.
Only the main oven has catalytic stay-clean liners; the second oven and grill use enamel interiors, so they will still need a proper manual clean from time to time, especially if you grill a lot.
There is no child lock on the control panel and no residual heat indicators on the hob, so households with young children will need to be extra mindful of safety.
The second oven lacks an interior light, which can make it harder to check on bakes without opening the door and losing heat.
Installation requires both a Gas Safe engineer and a qualified electrician for hard wiring, which adds to the overall cost if you are not already planning electrical and gas work.
Day to day, the Professional Deluxe feels solid and reassuring, with a contemporary black finish and chunky rotary controls that are easy to grip and read. Automatic ignition on the hob means you can light burners with one hand, and the cast-iron pan supports give a stable surface that is well suited to heavy pans.
The layout of the three cavities makes practical sense: the main multifunction oven at the bottom left for roasts and baking, the tall fan oven on the right for trays and batch cooking, and the dedicated grill at the top left for quick snacks and finishing dishes. The glide-out grill is particularly pleasing in use, as it slides toward you for easier access, reducing the risk of burns.
The LED programmable timer is straightforward to set and is a genuine help when you are juggling multiple dishes. The Handyrack in the main oven – a roasting tray that swings out on the door – makes it much easier to baste meats or lift out a joint without reaching deep into a hot cavity.
Cleaning is fairly manageable for a cooker of this size. The catalytic liners on the sides of the main oven soak up splatters during normal cooking, cutting down on deep cleans, while the smooth enamel in the second oven and grill wipes down reasonably easily. You will still need to give those areas a bit of elbow grease now and then, but it is less demanding than older-style ranges.
Because it is a sizeable and powerful appliance that needs hard wiring and gas connection, it is not something you can simply plug in and go, but once installed it integrates well into everyday cooking routines.
Performance-wise, this Rangemaster is strong. The five-burner gas hob, with outputs ranging from 1kW up to a punchy 4kW, offers plenty of headroom for fast boiling, searing and wok cooking. The combination of burner sizes and the sturdy cast-iron supports makes it easy to park multiple pans without feeling cramped.
The 79-litre main oven is multifunctional, giving you eight different cooking modes including conventional, fan-assisted, defrost, top and bottom heat and more. That level of flexibility lets you tailor the oven to what you are cooking, from crisp pizza bases to evenly risen cakes. Fan assistance helps distribute heat evenly, while the defrost setting is handy if you often cook from frozen.
The second 67-litre fan oven is a workhorse for batch cooking. With four shelves supplied, it is made for baking several trays at once or cooking different dishes side by side. It carries its own A energy rating and delivers dependable, even heat – ideal when you do not need the full multifunction options of the main cavity but do need space.
The third cavity is a 25-litre variable electric grill. Being a dedicated grill rather than a flimsy add-on, it heats up quickly and offers good control for browning gratins, grilling chops or preparing toast. The variable element allows you to adjust intensity, and combined with the glide-out mechanism, it feels both capable and user-friendly.
On the convenience front, the cooker includes automatic safety shut-off, flame failure devices on the hob, triple-glazed doors and a 2-year manufacturer warranty for domestic use. While it does not offer smart connectivity or advanced electronics beyond the programmable timer, the feature set focuses on what cooks actually use: reliable heat, flexible ovens and easier cleaning.
This is a premium-priced range cooker, and there are certainly cheaper 90cm dual fuel models available. However, you are paying for a proven brand, a very generous amount of cooking space and a specification that goes beyond the basics, particularly in terms of oven flexibility and build quality.
The inclusion of a powerful five-burner gas hob, a large multifunction main oven, a full-height second fan oven and a separate glide-out grill gives you more usable capacity and control than many mid-range alternatives. Features such as catalytic liners, the Handyrack, automatic ignition and robust cast-iron supports all contribute to a sense of long-term quality.
The strong user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from a large number of reviews suggests that owners feel they are getting good value over time. If you simply want the cheapest possible 90cm cooker, this will not be it, but if you view it as a long-term investment in a central piece of your kitchen, the price is easier to justify.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFGB/C is an excellent choice for households that take cooking seriously and want the advantages of a full range cooker without stepping up to 100cm or 110cm widths. Its combination of a powerful gas hob, two large electric ovens and a dedicated grill delivers the space and flexibility needed for family meals, entertaining and regular baking.
Build quality feels solid, and thoughtful design touches such as catalytic liners, the Handyrack and the glide-out grill make it more enjoyable to use day to day. The high owner satisfaction score backs up the impression that it performs reliably in real kitchens.
You do pay a premium and there are a few compromises – notably the lack of catalytic liners and interior light in the second oven, plus the need for professional installation – but for most keen home cooks with the budget and space, this is a standout 90cm dual fuel range that should serve you well for many years.
