The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90EICR/C is a 90cm electric range cooker with a modern induction hob and three separate cavities, finished in classic cream with chrome detailing. It’s very much a premium choice, aimed at households that cook a lot and want a statement appliance as well as solid performance.
With two large ovens, a dedicated glide-out grill and a responsive 5-zone induction hob, it’s built to handle everything from midweek meals to big family roasts. The A/A energy rating keeps it reasonably efficient for its size, and the catalytic liners in the main oven cut down on cleaning time.
Owners rate it highly: an average score of 4.7 out of 5 from well over a thousand reviews suggests the Professional Deluxe line is not just about looks – it’s also proven and reliable in real kitchens.
This Rangemaster is ideal for busy family kitchens and enthusiastic home cooks who regularly use the oven and hob at the same time. The combination of a 79-litre multifunction main oven, a 67-litre fan oven and a separate grill means you have the space and flexibility to cook a full roast, sides and dessert in one go.
It suits medium to large homes where cooking is central to daily life, or smaller households that love to batch-cook at weekends. If you entertain often, the 90cm width and dual full-size ovens give you room to cook for a crowd without juggling trays.
In terms of budget, this is a premium appliance. The price reflects the build quality, brand reputation and feature set, so it’s best suited to buyers investing in a long-term kitchen upgrade rather than a stop-gap cooker.
It’s also well matched to reasonably confident cooks. The multifunction main oven with eight settings, programmable timer and induction hob will appeal to anyone who wants precise control and faster heating, while still being straightforward enough for everyday family use.
The layout is a real strength. You get two genuinely large ovens – a 79-litre multifunction main cavity and a 67-litre fan oven – plus a separate 25-litre variable electric grill. This makes it far easier to manage different dishes at different temperatures than on a single-oven cooker.
The 5-zone induction hob is another highlight. Induction offers rapid heat-up, fine control and improved efficiency compared with traditional electric ceramic tops. Pan detection ensures the zones only heat when cookware is in place, helping with safety and running costs.
Rangemaster’s Rapid Response function on the main oven speeds up preheating, so you’re not waiting around to get dinner started. The Handyrack, which hooks onto the main oven door, makes it much easier to check on roasts without reaching into a hot cavity.
Cleaning is thoughtfully addressed. Catalytic liners on the sides of the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, while the other cavities use easy-clean enamel to reduce scrubbing. Triple-glazed doors improve efficiency and keep more heat inside the ovens.
Build quality is reassuring, with a catch-rite door fixture and solid-feeling doors and controls. A 2-year manufacturer’s warranty adds extra peace of mind on a high-value purchase.
The most obvious downside is cost. As a premium 90cm range with induction, it sits at the higher end of the electric range cooker market, so it won’t suit tighter budgets.
Despite the price, some touches feel a little old-school. The second oven and grill cavities don’t have interior lights, which makes it harder to check on food without opening the door. There’s also no dedicated child lock on the control panel, which some families may miss.
While the main oven benefits from catalytic liners on the sides, the second oven and grill are enamel only, so you’ll still need to put in more elbow grease there. The main door glass isn’t listed as removable, which can make deep cleaning slightly more awkward.
Finally, installation isn’t plug-and-play. With a hefty 16,000W electrical connection and a 45-amp fuse requirement, it must be hard-wired by a qualified electrician, which adds to the overall cost of ownership.
Day to day, the Professional Deluxe feels designed for real cooking. The rotary controls are chunky and positive, and the LED programmable timer makes it easy to set start and finish times for the main oven, which is especially useful for slow roasts or baked dishes you want ready when you get home.
The induction hob is very responsive, shifting from a gentle simmer to a fast boil in seconds. Because the heat is focused on the pan and the glass surface stays cooler than traditional electric hobs, spills tend not to burn on so quickly, making wipe-downs faster.
Having three separate cavities simplifies meal prep. You can run the main multifunction oven for roasting or baking, keep the fan oven for trays of veg or puddings, and still have the grill free for crisping toppings or making quick snacks. The glide-out grill tray is particularly user-friendly, letting you slide food out to turn it without reaching into the heat.
Cleaning is manageable for such a large appliance. The catalytic liners in the main cavity quietly work away at grease as you cook, so routine wiping is usually enough. The enamelled second oven and grill need more regular attention, but their smooth surfaces are easy to sponge down. The flat induction glass top needs only a quick wipe after use.
The cooker’s 90cm width and professional styling mean it will dominate a smaller kitchen, but in a family-sized room it feels like a natural focal point. Adjustable feet help you line it up neatly with your worktops for a built-in look.
Performance from the main 79-litre oven is strong. As a multifunction cavity with eight settings, it can handle everything from conventional top-and-bottom heat for traditional baking to fan-assisted cooking for faster, more even results. There are also base-heat and browning options, which are handy for quiches, pies and finishing off gratins.
The second 67-litre fan oven provides consistent, even heat across multiple shelves – great for batch baking or cooking side dishes alongside a roast in the main oven. With four shelves included, you can make full use of the height when you’re loading up for a dinner party or Christmas lunch.
The induction hob’s five zones cover a useful range of power outputs from 1.15kW for gentle tasks up to 3kW for rapid boiling or searing. Pan detection improves both safety and efficiency, while the smooth glass surface delivers a sleek, contemporary look that complements modern kitchens.
Rapid Response is one of the more practical features. It boosts the main oven to temperature quickly, cutting down on preheat time when you’re in a hurry. The Auto Heat Up function also helps get pans up to temperature quickly without you having to hover over the controls.
On the safety and durability side, automatic safety shut-off and triple-glazed doors help keep external surfaces cooler and reduce energy loss. The catch-rite door system adds a solid, reassuring close that you’d expect from a premium British-built cooker. An A/A energy rating across the two main ovens keeps performance efficient for an appliance of this size.
This Rangemaster is priced as a premium 90cm electric range cooker, especially with an induction hob rather than a standard ceramic or solid plate top. You’re paying for both the brand heritage and a feature set that goes well beyond a basic freestanding cooker.
In return, you get two large ovens, a separate grill, a high-quality 5-zone induction hob, catalytic liners, Rapid Response preheat and thoughtful touches like the Handyrack and glide-out grill. Compared with simpler single-oven models, the additional capacity and flexibility can make a real difference if you cook often or for a crowd.
The strong owner feedback – a 4.7 out of 5 rating from a very large number of reviews – suggests the cooker delivers on its promises in real-world use, which helps justify the investment. The 2-year manufacturer’s warranty is decent, though some buyers may wish it were longer at this price.
If you’re simply after the cheapest way to get an electric cooker in your kitchen, this isn’t it. But if you value build quality, cooking performance and the convenience of induction, the Professional Deluxe offers solid long-term value for a serious home cook.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90EICR/C is a standout choice for anyone wanting a premium 90cm electric range cooker with the speed and precision of induction. Its twin large ovens, separate grill and clever extras like Rapid Response and the Handyrack make it a genuinely versatile workhorse for family cooking and entertaining.
There are a few niggles – the lack of lights in the second oven and grill, no control panel lock, and the need for professional hard-wiring – and the price places it firmly in the premium bracket. Those looking for a budget-friendly upgrade may find it overkill.
However, if you’re refurbishing a kitchen and want a stylish, cream-and-chrome centrepiece that performs as well as it looks, this Rangemaster is very easy to recommend. For keen cooks who will make use of the space and features, it’s a cooker that should serve reliably for many years.
