The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90EISS/C is a 90cm electric range cooker with an induction hob, three cooking cavities and a smart stainless steel and chrome finish. It’s firmly in the premium end of the market, aimed at busy households that cook a lot and want a statement appliance as well as serious performance.
With two large ovens plus a dedicated grill, catalytic liners in the main cavity and a fast‑reacting induction hob, it’s built to handle everything from midweek meals to big family roasts. A 4.9 out of 5 rating from well over 200 owner reviews suggests that, in real kitchens, it’s delivering on those promises.
You do pay a premium price, and it needs professional hard‑wiring, but if you’re after a long‑term, British‑made range cooker that feels a cut above the average, this model is clearly designed to fit that brief.
This Rangemaster is ideal for keen home cooks and bakers who regularly juggle multiple dishes. With three separate cavities – a large multifunction main oven, a large fan oven and a separate variable electric grill – there’s ample flexibility for roasting, baking and grilling at the same time without compromise.
It suits medium to large households, or anyone who likes entertaining. The 79-litre main oven and 67-litre second oven are both full-size, so you can comfortably handle a big Sunday roast in one and batch bakes or sides in the other. The dedicated 25-litre grill cavity keeps quick snacks and finishes off dishes without tying up an oven.
The induction hob makes it a strong choice if you want the control and speed of gas but prefer the safety, easy cleaning and efficiency of electric. Features like pan detection and rapid heat-up make it particularly appealing if you cook often and value precision.
Budget-wise, this is a premium range cooker rather than an entry-level option. It’s best suited to buyers renovating a kitchen, moving up from a standard cooker or investing in an appliance they plan to keep for many years, rather than someone looking for the cheapest 90cm range available.
The standout strength here is flexibility. Two large ovens – one multifunction and one fan – plus a separate variable grill give you three usable spaces at once, which makes big family meals and entertaining far easier to manage.
The induction hob is another big plus. With five zones and pan detection, it heats quickly, responds instantly to changes in temperature and is safer if you have children around, as the glass only gets hot under the pan. The flat glass surface also makes wiping up spills much simpler than with gas burners.
Rangemaster’s Rapid Response preheat function is genuinely practical, bringing the oven up to temperature quickly so you spend less time waiting around. The Handyrack that clips onto the main oven door is also a clever touch – it lets you slide a roasting tray out safely to check or baste food without reaching into a hot cavity.
Cleaning is relatively low effort for such a large cooker. Catalytic liners in the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, while the other cavities use easy-clean enamel. Combined with the triple-glazed doors, solid Catch-rite door fixtures and overall build quality, the cooker feels robust and well thought out for everyday use.
The very strong user rating, backed by a two-year manufacturer warranty and British manufacture, adds confidence that you’re buying something built to last.
The obvious drawback is cost: this is a premium-priced 90cm range, so it won’t suit tighter budgets. You’re paying for build quality, induction technology and brand reputation, but there are cheaper electric ranges if you don’t need all the extras.
Despite being feature-rich, a few omissions stand out. There’s no residual heat indicator on the hob, which is unusual for an induction model and means you have to be a little more cautious about assuming the surface is cool. There’s also no control panel lock, so families with small children may miss a dedicated child safety lock.
Only the main oven gets catalytic stay-clean liners; the second oven and grill rely on standard enamel, so they will still need a proper manual clean from time to time. None of the cavities has removable inner door glass, which can make deep cleaning the doors a bit more fiddly.
Installation is another consideration. With a hefty 16,000W electrical connection and a 45-amp fuse rating, it must be hard-wired by a qualified electrician. There’s no supplied plug or cable, so you’ll need to factor the additional installation cost into your budget.
Living with the Professional Deluxe feels reassuringly straightforward despite its size. The rotary controls are traditional and tactile, and the LED programmable timer gives you clear feedback without being cluttered. Once you’ve learned where each oven and hob control sits, day-to-day operation is intuitive.
The induction hob is particularly pleasant to use. Pans heat quickly and evenly, simmering is stable, and there’s none of the lingering heat you get with ceramic hobs. Pan detection means the zones only activate with a suitable pan in place, which helps with safety and efficiency. The smooth glass top wipes clean easily after spills.
In the ovens, the multifunction main cavity offers eight modes, including fan and conventional settings, so you can tailor heat to roasts, baking or delicate dishes. Fan assistance in both main and second ovens helps give even results across multiple shelves, which is great when batch baking or cooking sides alongside a main dish.
Practical design touches make regular cooking feel more manageable. The Handyrack makes tending to a roast more comfortable, and the glide-out grill tray is much easier and safer to pull out than a loose grill pan. Interior lighting in the main oven means you can check browning without opening the door and losing heat.
Cleaning routines are fairly painless for a large range. The catalytic liners in the main oven quietly deal with splashes over time, while the easy-clean enamel in the other cavities avoids stubborn burnt-on residue if you keep on top of it. You don’t get self-cleaning pyrolytic functionality, but for most households the combination of liners and enamel will be adequate if you give it an occasional deeper clean.
Performance-wise, this cooker is built to cope with serious workloads. The 79-litre main oven provides plenty of space for large joints, trays and multiple dishes, and its multifunction design with eight settings lets you choose the ideal heat pattern. Fan assistance ensures even cooking across shelves, while top and bottom heating options give you more control for traditional baking.
The 67-litre second cavity is a full fan oven in its own right, not just a warming compartment. This is a strong advantage over simpler ranges: you can run two main courses or a main and a dessert at different shelves and still get consistent results. Both main and second ovens carry an A energy rating, and the listed energy consumption figures are sensible for ovens of this size.
The separate 25-litre third cavity houses a variable electric grill with open-door grilling. Combined with the supplied grill pan and handle, it’s ideal for fast breakfasts, cheese on toast or browning dishes without committing to a full oven preheat. The glide-out grill mechanism keeps access comfortable and reduces the risk of spills.
On the hob, five induction zones with a power range of 1.15–3kW cover everything from gentle melting to vigorous boiling. With three different zone sizes, you can match pans more efficiently, and the responsive nature of induction means quick changes in temperature are reflected almost instantly in the pan. Auto heat-up and Rapid Response functions further speed up the start of cooking.
Safety and build quality are clearly a focus. Automatic safety shut-off, pan detection, triple-glazed doors and Rangemaster’s Catch-rite door fixtures all contribute to a solid, dependable feel. While it doesn’t add smart connectivity or advanced digital features, it concentrates on delivering robust, cooking-centric functionality that most home chefs will appreciate.
This model sits at the higher end of the electric range cooker market, reflecting its premium positioning. You’re paying more than you would for a basic 90cm electric range, but you are getting a specification and build quality that go beyond entry-level and many mid-range competitors.
Key value drivers include the twin full-size ovens, dedicated grill cavity, five-zone induction hob, Rapid Response heat-up, catalytic liners in the main oven and thoughtful touches like the Handyrack and glide-out grill. For a serious home cook, these features are not just nice-to-haves; they make cooking more efficient and less stressful.
The long list of positive owner reviews – averaging 4.9 out of 5 from over 200 ratings – strongly suggests that buyers feel they’re getting what they paid for. Coupled with a two-year warranty and UK manufacture, it makes a convincing case as a long-term investment.
If your priority is simply having a 90cm cooker at the lowest possible price, this won’t be the best fit. But if you want a well-specified, induction-equipped range that should serve reliably for years, the higher upfront cost is easier to justify.
The Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL90EISS/C is a highly capable 90cm electric range cooker that delivers where it matters: consistent oven performance, a fast and controllable induction hob, and the flexibility of three separate cavities. It feels robust and well engineered, with practical touches that make daily cooking easier rather than more complicated.
Its premium price and the need for professional installation mean it’s not the obvious choice for tight budgets or occasional cooks. The absence of a hob residual heat indicator and the lack of catalytic liners in the second oven are minor blemishes on an otherwise well-rounded spec sheet.
For keen home cooks, bakers and busy families looking to invest in a stylish, stainless steel range that can genuinely handle large meals and frequent use, this model is a standout option. If you can afford the initial outlay, it’s a cooker you’re likely to enjoy using for many years.
