The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90EISL/C is a 90cm electric range cooker with a sleek slate finish and a modern induction hob, designed for busy family kitchens where cooking is taken seriously. With two full-sized ovens, a separate glide-out grill and five induction zones, it offers far more flexibility than a standard cooker.
Rangemaster is a respected British brand in range cookers, and this model clearly sits at the premium end of the market – both in terms of price and specification. The combination of a large multifunction main oven, a second fan oven and quick, controllable induction makes it well suited to keen cooks and regular entertainers.
Backed by a strong 4.7 out of 5 rating from well over a thousand owner reviews, it’s a well-proven choice rather than an experimental buy.
This Rangemaster is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and want the extra space and control a full range offers. The 79-litre multifunction main oven, 67-litre second fan oven and separate grill mean you can comfortably handle Sunday roasts, batch baking and dinner parties without juggling trays.
It suits buyers with a higher budget looking for a long-term centrepiece appliance rather than a stop-gap cooker. The specification, finish and build are all aimed at those prepared to pay more for performance, reliability and style.
If you enjoy cooking and like to use different techniques – from gentle baking and defrosting to crisping tops and fast roasting – the eight-function main oven and Rapid Response preheat will appeal. The induction hob is also well matched to home cooks who want the speed of gas with the precision and safety of electric.
It’s less suited to very small kitchens or those who cook only occasionally, as you’d be paying for capacity and features you may not fully use. It also requires proper hard-wiring by an electrician, so it’s best for homeowners or long-term renters planning a more permanent kitchen setup.
The three-cavity layout is a major plus: a large multifunction main oven, a generous second fan oven and a dedicated glide-out grill give you the freedom to cook multiple dishes at once without flavour or temperature compromises.
The five-zone induction hob offers fast, responsive heat with built-in pan detection, so zones only activate when a suitable pan is present. That means better safety, faster boil times and much easier cleaning than gas, thanks to the flat glass surface.
Rapid Response preheating helps the main oven reach temperature quickly, reducing waiting time and making midweek cooking more efficient. For longer roasts, the Handyrack on the main oven door makes it easy to check or baste meat without dragging out a heavy tray.
Cleaning is relatively straightforward. Catalytic liners in the main oven absorb grease during normal cooking, while easy-clean enamel in the other cavities keeps spills from baking on too firmly.
Attention to build quality, like the Catch-rite door fixtures and triple-glazed doors, adds to the feeling of a solid, well-insulated cooker that holds its heat and should stand up to frequent use.
The price places this model firmly in the premium bracket, so it’s a considered purchase rather than a budget-friendly upgrade.
Only the main oven gets catalytic liners; the second oven and grill use standard enamel, so they will still need more traditional cleaning from time to time, especially if you grill a lot.
There’s no control panel lock or residual heat indicators listed, which could be a concern for households with younger children, even though induction surfaces do cool quickly compared with traditional electric hobs.
The warranty is a fairly standard 2 years rather than the extended cover some rivals offer at this price point, and there’s no plug supplied – it must be hard-wired by an electrician, adding to overall installation cost.
Finally, the grill cavity lacks an interior light and must be used with the door open, which is functional but feels a little old-fashioned on such a modern-looking appliance.
Day to day, the Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90EISL/C feels like a serious but approachable piece of kit. Rotary dials and an LED programmable timer keep control simple, so once it’s installed, using it is straightforward even if you’re moving up from a standard cooker.
The induction hob is particularly easy to live with. Pan detection cuts wasted energy and means zones don’t heat up empty, while the smooth glass surface is quick to wipe down after spills. Boiling water and bringing pans up to temperature is rapid, yet you still get precise low settings for simmering.
Inside, the main oven’s 79-litre capacity and two shelves give you plenty of flexibility, and the Handyrack door-mounted tray is genuinely handy when basting or checking larger joints – you’re not stretching awkwardly into a hot cavity. The second 67-litre fan oven on the right is perfect for extra baking trays or for cooking at a different temperature.
Cleaning is helped by catalytic liners on the sides of the main oven, which break down grease at normal cooking temperatures. The other cavities use easy-clean enamel, so a quick wipe after use stops grime building up. The glide-out grill tray makes handling toast or cheese on top safer, as you’re not reaching under a hot element.
Physically, this is a substantial 90cm-wide appliance, so it feels like a proper range cooker in the kitchen. Height adjustment helps you line it up neatly with your worktops, but you’ll still want to plan the space carefully and ensure the required clearance under the cooker hood.
Performance is a strong point. The main oven is a large 79-litre multifunction cavity with eight settings, including fan assistance, base heat, top and bottom elements and defrost. That range of options lets you tailor the environment to what you’re cooking, from evenly baked cakes to crisp-based tarts and properly browned gratins.
Energy ratings of A for both main and second ovens, along with relatively modest quoted energy consumption figures, suggest it’s efficient given the capacity. Rapid Response™ is particularly useful if you’re short on time, bringing the oven up to temperature more quickly so you can get food in the oven sooner.
The second 67-litre electric fan oven is simpler, with a single fan function but ample space and four shelves. It’s excellent for batch baking, cooking sides or keeping dishes warm while the main oven handles the main event. Together, the two ovens give you a highly flexible setup for big family occasions.
On the hob, five induction zones with power outputs between 1.15 and 3 kW cover everything from small pans to larger pots. Induction’s trademark responsiveness means you can move from a rolling boil to a gentle simmer with very small adjustments, and heat goes into the pan rather than the air, keeping the kitchen cooler.
The dedicated third cavity is a 25-litre variable electric grill with a glide-out mechanism. While basic in function and without a fan, it offers precise grilling control and is ideal for finishing dishes, making toast or quickly grilling vegetables. Triple-glazed doors throughout help keep heat in and the outer surfaces cooler, while automatic safety shut-off adds an extra layer of reassurance.
This is clearly a premium-priced electric range cooker, and there are cheaper 90cm options on the market. However, you’re paying for a combination of features that go beyond the basics: two large ovens, a separate grill, a responsive five-zone induction hob, Rapid Response preheating and convenience touches like the Handyrack and glide-out grill.
The overall build quality, British manufacture and thoughtful design details help justify the investment if you cook often and will make use of the extra capacity. While the warranty could be longer at this price, the long track record of Rangemaster ranges and the strong 4.7/5 user rating from a very high number of reviews provide confidence that this model performs well in real homes.
If your budget is tight or you won’t regularly use multiple cavities at once, a simpler cooker would offer better headline value. But for households that want a capable, stylish and durable centrepiece, the PDL90EISL/C represents solid value within the premium segment.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90EISL/C is a highly capable 90cm electric range cooker that combines generous capacity, modern induction technology and genuinely useful cooking features. It feels built for people who love to cook and need the flexibility of two proper ovens plus a dedicated grill.
It’s not a budget option, and the limited self-cleaning coverage and standard 2-year warranty are slight disappointments at this level. Nonetheless, everyday usability, performance and owner satisfaction are all strong, making it a confident choice if you’re upgrading a family kitchen or planning a new one around a feature range.
If you want a stylish, contemporary-looking range with fast, efficient induction and the space to handle everything from midweek meals to big celebrations, this Rangemaster deserves to be high on your shortlist.
