The Rangemaster Professional Plus 60 PROPL60NGFSS/C is a 60cm-wide double oven gas cooker that brings classic Rangemaster styling and build quality to smaller kitchens. You get a roomy main gas oven, a second gas oven with full‑width electric grill, and a four‑burner gas hob with sturdy cast‑iron pan supports.
This is very much a premium option in the 60cm gas cooker space, aimed at people who cook often and care about control and reliability more than flashy extras. With an A+/A energy rating and handy catalytic liners in the main oven, it’s designed to work hard without being a chore to keep clean.
Owners rate it highly, with an average score of 4.7 out of 5 from dozens of reviews, which suggests real‑world performance and day‑to‑day usability live up to the Rangemaster name.
This model is ideal for keen home cooks who want the precision of gas ovens and hob burners, but only have space for a standard 60cm slot. If you regularly cook from scratch and like to have several dishes on the go, the double oven setup and four‑burner hob will feel like a big step up from a basic single‑cavity cooker.
It suits small to medium‑sized households particularly well. The 71‑litre main oven has enough room for a good‑sized roast with trimmings, while the 31‑litre top oven and grill is perfect for side dishes, quick snacks or keeping plates warm. If you host occasionally, there’s ample capacity without needing a full‑size range.
Budget‑wise, this sits at the more premium end of the gas cooker market. You’re paying for brand pedigree, solid construction and thoughtful touches like catalytic liners, cast iron pan supports and an electronic programmable timer. It’s a strong choice if you’d rather invest once in a robust cooker than compromise with an entry‑level model.
It’s also well suited to users who prefer straightforward, tactile controls over lots of digital programmes. Rotary dials, a clear LED display and simple conventional gas ovens make it easy to understand and operate, even if you’re not especially tech‑savvy.
The standout strength here is the cooking versatility in a compact footprint. Two separate gas ovens let you roast in the main 71‑litre cavity while baking or grilling in the 31‑litre top oven, giving far more flexibility than a single‑oven cooker.
The gas hob with four burners and a 1–2.9 kW power range offers fast, responsive heat control for everyday cooking, from gentle simmering to a strong sear. Cast iron pan supports add stability and a more professional feel, and they tend to last longer than lighter enamel supports.
Cleaning is easier than on many gas cookers thanks to catalytic liners in the main cavity, which absorb and break down grease as the oven heats up. Combined with ceramic enamel interiors, this reduces the amount of deep scrubbing required.
Practical touches like an electronic programmable timer, interior lights, viewing windows and a clear front control panel make it simple to keep an eye on dishes. The inclusion of an electric full‑width grill in the top cavity is also a real plus for reliably crisp toast, cheese on toast or grilled veg.
The solid A+/A energy ratings are reassuring for an appliance you’re likely to use daily, and the 2‑year manufacturer warranty is better than the bare minimum offered on some rivals.
Despite the premium positioning, the ovens are straightforward conventional gas rather than fan‑assisted, so heat distribution won’t be as even as a fan oven and you may need to rotate trays for perfectly consistent bakes.
Only the main oven benefits from catalytic liners, and then only on the roof, so you’ll still need to manually clean the remaining interior surfaces and the entire top cavity. For the price point, fuller self‑cleaning coverage would have been welcome.
There’s no dedicated defrost function or specialist cooking modes beyond a slow cook feature, which makes the feature set feel somewhat traditional compared with more advanced multifunction or fan ovens.
You’ll also need to factor in installation: a Gas Safe engineer is required and the gas hose isn’t included, and LPG conversion is possible but needs a separate kit that doesn’t come in the box.
Living with the Rangemaster Professional Plus 60 feels reassuringly familiar if you’re used to gas, but more refined than most standard 60cm cookers. The front‑mounted rotary dials are clear and easy to grip, and the LED display with programmable timer makes it simple to time roasts or bakes without reaching for a separate kitchen timer.
The side‑opening main oven door gives good access to the 71‑litre cavity, making it easier to lift heavy trays in and out compared with a drop‑down door, especially in tighter kitchens. Two chrome wire shelves in the main oven, plus an additional shelf in the top cavity, provide flexible positioning for different dishes.
Day‑to‑day cleaning is fairly straightforward. Catalytic liners in the main oven roof help break down grease during normal cooking, and the smooth enamel interiors in both cavities wipe down easily once cool. The cast iron pan supports can be lifted off for more thorough hob cleaning.
Installation is relatively simple on the electrical side as it comes with a plug attached and only needs a standard 13‑amp socket, avoiding the need for a dedicated high‑power electrical connection. You will, however, still need a Gas Safe engineer to connect it safely to your gas supply.
In terms of core cooking performance, the main gas oven is a conventional 71‑litre cavity rated A+ for energy efficiency. It’s well suited to roasts, traybakes and general family meals, offering reliable heat once up to temperature. As with most conventional gas ovens, you may find hotter and cooler spots, so adjusting shelf positions and rotating trays will help achieve the best results.
The second cavity combines a 31‑litre conventional gas oven with a full‑width electric grill. This dual‑fuel arrangement is particularly useful: you get the moist heat and flavour many people prefer from gas for smaller dishes, plus the responsiveness and even browning of an electric grill for toast, gratins and finishing off steaks or vegetables.
On the hob, four gas burners with a power range from 1 to 2.9 kW cover everything from gentle simmering to boiling large pans. Cast iron pan supports give a sturdy platform for heavier cookware and add a more professional feel, while automatic ignition (via the control knobs) makes lighting the burners quick and fuss‑free.
Feature‑wise, this cooker leans towards practicality rather than gimmicks. There’s an electronic programmable timer, interior lights and viewing windows in the doors, making it easy to monitor food without opening the ovens and losing heat. A slow cook function provides low‑and‑slow capability for casseroles or stews, but there are no fan, defrost or specialist baking programmes, so you’re relying on your own recipes and timings.
Energy consumption figures of 1.47 kWh per cycle for the main cavity and 1.42 kWh for the second align with its strong energy ratings, which helps keep running costs in check if you cook frequently.
Pricing for the Rangemaster Professional Plus 60 puts it firmly in the upper tier of standard‑width gas cookers. You can certainly find cheaper 60cm double ovens, but very few at this size match its combination of build quality, brand reputation and dual‑fuel (gas oven plus electric grill) versatility.
The strong user rating of 4.7 out of 5, backed up by a healthy number of reviews, suggests that most owners feel it justifies its price in everyday use. The premium materials, such as cast iron pan supports and ceramic enamel interiors, plus helpful touches like catalytic liners and a programmable timer, all contribute to that sense of long‑term value.
If your priority is simply the lowest upfront cost, there are more basic models that will cook your dinner for less. But if you’re looking for a robust, attractive cooker that should serve a busy kitchen for years, the extra outlay on this Rangemaster is easier to defend.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus 60 PROPL60NGFSS/C is a strong choice for households that want range‑style quality and flexibility in a standard 60cm space. Its combination of a generous main gas oven, a useful second cavity with electric grill and a sturdy four‑burner gas hob makes it well equipped for everyday family cooking and weekend entertaining alike.
It’s not the most feature‑packed cooker on the market, and those who prefer fan ovens or lots of automatic cooking programmes may feel short‑changed. Cleaning support is good rather than exceptional, with only partial catalytic coverage.
However, if you value solid construction, responsive gas performance and a clean, professional look, this model delivers. For serious home cooks who can justify the higher price and are happy with conventional gas ovens, it’s an excellent, confidence‑inspiring buy.
