The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFSL/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker that puts a powerful gas hob on top of two large electric ovens and a separate glide-out grill. Finished in slate with a contemporary look, it’s clearly pitched at buyers who want a statement cooker that can cope with busy family life or serious entertaining.
With dual fuel cooking, catalytic liners in the main oven, and a dedicated fan oven alongside, it sits towards the premium end of the range cooker market rather than as a budget buy. A strong user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from a large number of reviews suggests owners are very happy with how it performs day to day.
If you’re upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker or refreshing a high-end kitchen, this model offers the flexibility and build quality you’d expect from one of the UK’s best-known range cooker brands.
This cooker is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and want the flexibility to run multiple dishes at once. With a 79-litre multifunction main oven, a 67-litre fan oven and a separate grill, there’s ample space for Sunday roasts, batch cooking and baking without feeling cramped.
It suits confident home cooks and keen bakers who will make use of the main oven’s eight functions, including fan assistance, conventional heat and a defrost setting. The powerful 5‑burner gas hob with cast iron supports and a dedicated wok burner will appeal if you like searing, stir-fries or cooking with large pans.
Given the specification and dual fuel setup, it’s best viewed as a premium purchase rather than an entry-level cooker. It’s a strong choice if you’re renovating a kitchen, moving up from a basic freestanding oven, or replacing an older Rangemaster with something more modern.
If you rarely cook for more than one or two people and don’t need three separate cavities, you may find a smaller or simpler cooker more cost-effective.
Excellent cooking flexibility with three separate cavities: a large multifunction main oven, a spacious fan oven and a dedicated variable electric grill, so you can roast, bake and grill all at once.
The 5‑burner gas hob offers precise heat control, a good spread of burner sizes and a powerful wok burner rated up to 4kW, ideal for fast boiling and high-heat frying. Sturdy cast iron pan supports give a stable, professional feel.
The main oven’s catalytic liners on the sides and easy-clean enamel elsewhere help reduce scrubbing. During normal cooking, splashes are absorbed and broken down, so you mostly just wipe surfaces rather than deep-cleaning.
User-friendly touches such as automatic ignition, a clear LED programmable timer, glide-out grill and Handyrack for easier access to roasting trays make everyday use simpler and safer.
Strong owner feedback with a 4.7/5 rating and a long track record for Rangemaster in this category provide confidence in reliability and performance.
The price places it firmly in the premium bracket for a 90cm range cooker, so it’s a considered purchase rather than a bargain option.
Only the main oven has catalytic liners, so the second oven and grill use standard enamel interiors and will still need more traditional cleaning.
There’s no child lock on the control panel and no residual heat indicators on the hob, which some families might miss on such a capable cooker.
The second oven and grill cavities lack interior lights, which can make it a little harder to check on food without opening the door.
Day to day, the Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFSL/C is designed to feel reassuringly solid and straightforward. Rotary controls and automatic ignition on the hob mean you simply turn and light, with no separate spark button to press. Cast iron pan supports give the hob a continuous, stable surface, so heavy pans can be moved around safely.
The layout of the cavities works well in a busy kitchen. The main oven sits bottom left with a triple-glazed window and interior light, making it easy to keep an eye on roasts and bakes. The right-hand fan oven gives you extra capacity at a consistent temperature, great for batch baking or cooking sides while the main oven handles the centrepiece.
The glide-out grill in the top left cavity is particularly convenient. Instead of reaching into a hot compartment, the grill tray slides out smoothly, so turning bacon or checking toast is quicker and safer. Open-door grilling is straightforward and familiar if you’re upgrading from a standard cooker.
Cleaning is less of a chore than on many traditional cookers. The main oven’s catalytic liners help break down grease as you cook, and the remaining enamel interiors wipe clean with a bit of effort. With no glass lid or fiddly extras, surfaces are mostly flat and practical to keep looking smart.
Performance starts with the dual fuel setup. You get the instant, controllable heat of a gas hob combined with the consistency of electric ovens. The 5-burner layout covers four different burner sizes, including a high-powered wok burner up to 4kW for rapid boiling and stir-frying, plus smaller burners for gentle simmering.
The 79-litre main oven is multifunctional with eight settings, including fan-assisted cooking, conventional top-and-bottom heat, top-only, bottom-only and a defrost function. This flexibility lets you tailor heat to everything from slow roasts to delicate sponges, helping achieve more even results. Energy consumption is modest for its size, with an A rating and efficient fan options.
Alongside, the 67-litre right-hand oven is a straightforward electric fan oven with a single fan setting. It heats evenly from top to bottom, making it ideal for baking multiple trays at once or cooking large batches. With four shelves, there’s plenty of space to juggle different dishes.
The third cavity houses a variable electric grill with its own 25-litre space. The glide-out design and included grill pan with handle make grilling more controlled and safer to handle. It’s powerful enough for crisp finishes and fast snacks without needing to heat one of the big ovens.
Safety and convenience features round things off: automatic safety shut-off, a flame failure device on the gas hob, height-adjustable feet to level the cooker, and the robust Catch-rite door fixtures all contribute to a sturdy, dependable feel. While it’s not packed with smart connectivity or touchscreens, it focuses on solid, proven cooking features that enthusiastic home cooks will actually use.
This Rangemaster is priced as a premium 90cm dual fuel range cooker, and you are paying for both the specification and the brand’s reputation. You get two genuinely large ovens, a separate grill, a powerful gas hob with cast iron supports, and helpful extras like catalytic liners, Handyrack and a glide-out grill.
The strong 4.7/5 owner rating from a high number of reviews suggests that buyers feel they’ve received good performance and reliability for the outlay. The A/A energy ratings for the ovens help keep running costs sensible for such a big appliance.
If you only need a basic double oven and standard hob, cheaper options exist. But if you’re investing in a long-term centrepiece for a busy kitchen, the feature set, build quality and two-year manufacturer warranty make a solid case for the asking price.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90DFFSL/C is a highly capable 90cm dual fuel range cooker that delivers on the essentials: powerful gas burners, generous dual ovens, and a practical separate grill, all wrapped in a smart slate finish. It feels built for everyday family cooking as well as more ambitious weekend projects.
It’s not the cheapest option, and the lack of catalytic liners in the secondary cavities plus the absence of a control lock are mild drawbacks. However, the combination of cooking flexibility, user-friendly touches and strong owner satisfaction means it will suit anyone who takes home cooking seriously and wants a reliable, premium-feeling centrepiece.
If your budget stretches to it and you’ll make use of the extra space and dual fuel versatility, this Rangemaster is a standout choice for a modern UK kitchen.
