The Rangemaster Professional Plus FXP PROP90FXPDFFCY/C is a 90cm dual fuel range cooker designed for people who take their cooking seriously. With a bold cranberry finish, a huge 114-litre multifunction electric oven and a five-burner gas hob, it is built to be the centrepiece of a busy kitchen.
Rangemaster is a respected name in range cookers, and this model leans towards the premium end of the market, reflected in its feature set and price tag. Owners clearly rate it highly, with an excellent user score and hundreds of reviews behind it, suggesting that the combination of performance, capacity and build quality lives up to expectations.
This is not a basic family cooker; it is aimed at households that cook often, entertain regularly or simply want a professional-style appliance at home.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households and keen home cooks who regularly batch cook, roast big joints or host gatherings. The single 114-litre oven space gives you the flexibility to handle everything from a full Sunday roast with all the trimmings to trays of baking in one go.
If you like the responsiveness of gas on the hob but prefer the evenness and versatility of an electric oven, the dual fuel setup will suit you perfectly. The five-burner layout with a dedicated wok burner makes it a strong choice if you cook a lot of stir-fries, use big pans or often have several dishes on the go at once.
Budget-wise, this sits firmly in the premium bracket for a 90cm cooker. It makes most sense if you will genuinely use the extra capacity and functions such as the multifunction oven, programmable timer and pyrolytic self-cleaning. Casual or infrequent cooks may struggle to justify the spend.
It is also well suited to people upgrading an older range cooker or fitting out a new kitchen who want a contemporary look with a statement cranberry finish, rather than a basic stainless steel or white appliance.
The standout advantage is the enormous 114-litre main oven. Having that much usable space in a 90cm range gives you serious flexibility, whether you are cooking for a big family or batch cooking for the freezer.
The multifunction electric oven offers seven cooking functions, including fan assistance, top and bottom heat and grilling. This means you can pick the right mode for everything from slow roasting to crisp baking, rather than making do with a single basic setting.
On the hob, the five gas burners, including a powerful wok burner and robust cast iron pan supports, provide fast heat and solid pan stability. The 1–4kW power range covers gentle simmering right up to vigorous boiling and searing.
The inclusion of pyrolytic self-cleaning is a genuine luxury. Being able to run a cleaning cycle that burns off baked-on residue to ash drastically reduces scrubbing time compared with standard enamel.
Thoughtful touches like telescopic shelf runners, a triple-glazed door, an energy-saving panel and an electronic programmable timer all contribute to easier, safer and more efficient everyday use.
The biggest drawback is the price: this is a premium cooker and will be overkill for anyone who does not need the capacity or advanced features.
Although the oven interior is enamelled, there are no catalytic liners, so if you choose not to use the pyrolytic cycle you will still face some manual cleaning. The lack of removable inner door glass also makes deep cleaning a little more fiddly.
You only get a single oven cavity rather than the more traditional twin-oven range layout. While the capacity is huge and there is an energy saving panel, some users may miss the ability to run two different temperatures completely separately.
Installation is not plug-and-play. It requires hard wiring by an electrician and fitting by a Gas Safe engineer, with no hose or LPG conversion kit included. That adds to the overall cost and means it is not suitable as a quick DIY swap.
Day to day, the Professional Plus FXP feels like a solid, confidence-inspiring piece of kit. The rotary dials are straightforward, and the LED display with electronic programmable timer makes timing roasts or bakes much easier than relying on a separate kitchen timer.
The five-burner gas hob ignites automatically, so you are not juggling matches or lighters, and the cast iron pan supports give a level, stable surface even for large roasting pans or heavy casserole dishes. The dedicated wok burner adds an extra bit of punch for quick stir-fries or rapid boiling.
Inside the oven, adjustable shelves and telescopic runners make it easy to rearrange space and safely pull out heavy trays to check on food. The bright interior light and triple-glazed door help you keep an eye on progress without opening the door and losing heat.
Cleaning is where this model really earns its keep. The pyrolytic self-cleaning programme dramatically cuts down on scrubbing; once the cycle has finished and the oven has cooled, you simply wipe away the ash. The enamel interior is also reasonably wipeable for day-to-day spills.
Because of its size and the need for professional installation, it is a cooker you position once and leave in place. Height adjustment is built in, so your installer can line it up neatly with your worktops for a seamless fit.
Performance from the main oven is strong and versatile. With a large 114-litre capacity and an A energy rating, it is designed to handle substantial cooking loads without being wasteful. Fan-assisted modes help distribute heat evenly across multiple shelves, which is ideal for baking batches of biscuits or cooking side dishes alongside a main dish.
The multifunction design offers seven functions, including top and bottom elements, bottom-only heat, fan modes, defrost and a built-in variable electric grill. Closed-door grilling keeps heat in the cavity and avoids greasy splatter escaping into the kitchen.
On the hob, the five gas burners span a power range of 1 to 4kW, meaning you can go from gentle simmering to full-power searing. Three different burner sizes and cast iron supports make it easier to match the burner to the pan and move pots around without losing stability. The wok burner is particularly useful if you cook Asian dishes or often use large frying pans.
Safety and convenience are well covered. A flame failure device automatically cuts off the gas if a flame goes out, and the triple-glazed oven door helps keep the outer surface cooler. Automatic ignition and a clear LED display keep operation simple.
Extra touches such as the energy saving panel, telescopic shelf runners, Catch-rite door fixture and interior light make the cooker feel refined in everyday use. The inclusion of a griddle further extends the hob’s flexibility for searing meats or cooking breakfast favourites directly over the burners.
Finally, pyrolytic self-cleaning sets this model apart from many standard ranges. Instead of relying on liners, the oven can heat itself to a very high temperature to incinerate residue, leaving you with a fine ash to wipe away. For heavy users, this can be a major time-saver.
With a current price around £2,799, this Rangemaster sits clearly in the premium segment of 90cm dual fuel range cookers. You are paying for a mix of brand reputation, very high capacity, dual fuel flexibility and advanced features like pyrolytic cleaning.
The specification is stronger than many simpler models: a huge 114-litre multifunction oven, a powerful five-burner gas hob with wok burner, telescopic runners, an energy saving panel and a robust build all contribute to its appeal. For households that cook heavily and frequently, those extras can justify the higher outlay over time.
Owner satisfaction is high, with a 4.7 out of 5 rating from a substantial number of reviews, which supports the idea that buyers generally feel they are getting what they paid for. The two-year manufacturer warranty is decent, though not outstanding at this price point.
If you are on a tight budget or only cook occasionally, there are more economical 90cm cookers that will cover the basics. However, for serious home cooks wanting a long-term centrepiece appliance, the Professional Plus FXP offers strong value despite its premium pricing.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus FXP PROP90FXPDFFCY/C is a serious, premium range cooker aimed at households that cook often and demand both capacity and control. The combination of a vast 114-litre multifunction oven, responsive five-burner gas hob and pyrolytic self-cleaning makes it a highly capable workhorse for busy kitchens.
Its standout strengths lie in versatility and convenience: from flexible oven functions and telescopic shelves to the wok burner and griddle on the hob. The design feels solid and contemporary, and the cranberry finish will appeal if you want your cooker to make a statement rather than blend into the background.
The trade-offs are mainly around price, the need for professional installation and the single-cavity layout, which may not suit everyone’s cooking style. If you are happy to invest and will genuinely use what it offers, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice that should serve you brilliantly for years. If you are more of an occasional cook, a simpler and cheaper cooker may be a better fit.
