The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP100DFFSS/C is a 100cm wide dual fuel range cooker with two large electric fan ovens, a separate electric grill and a 5-burner gas hob. It is very much a premium, full-size option aimed at keen home cooks who want the precision of gas on the hob and the even results of electric ovens.
Rangemaster is a well-established name in range cookers, and this model leans into that heritage with solid build quality, cast iron pan supports and practical touches like a glide-out grill and Handyrack roasting tray. The stainless steel finish gives it a modern, professional look that suits contemporary and classic kitchens alike.
With a strong 4.7 out of 5 rating from well over 700 owner reviews, it is clearly a popular choice. It is priced at the upper end of the cooker market, but the specification and user feedback suggest you are paying for capacity, performance and longevity rather than just a badge.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households and anyone who regularly cooks for a crowd. With two sizeable fan ovens (79L and 82L) plus a separate 25L grill, it handles Sunday roasts, batch cooking and dinner parties without breaking a sweat.
It suits confident home cooks and enthusiastic bakers who want reliable, even heat from electric fan ovens but still value the control and responsiveness of a gas hob. The inclusion of a powerful wok burner makes it particularly appealing if you cook a lot of stir-fries or need rapid heat for big pans.
Given its premium price and the need for both a qualified electrician and Gas Safe engineer to install it, this is not a budget first cooker. It will appeal more to homeowners investing in a new kitchen or upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker to something with far more space and flexibility.
If you have a small kitchen or only cook occasionally, this model will likely be overkill in both size and cost. But if you have the room and really use your oven and hob, the extra capacity and features will make everyday cooking far easier.
The standout strength here is capacity and flexibility. Two large electric fan ovens let you cook multiple dishes at once at even temperatures, while the dedicated electric grill cavity keeps grilling separate so you are never juggling trays.
The 5-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports and a dedicated wok burner gives you plenty of space for big pots, frying pans and woks. Automatic ignition and flame failure devices add both convenience and safety.
Cleaning has been well thought through: catalytic liners in the main cavity help burn off grease during normal cooking, while the other cavities have easy-clean enamel. Triple glazed doors and A/A energy ratings show that efficiency has not been forgotten.
Practical touches like the glide-out grill, Handyrack (which swings the roasting tray out with the door) and telescopic shelf runners make handling heavy dishes easier and safer. The programmable timer and clear LED display are straightforward, so timing complex meals is simpler.
Add in a solid 2-year manufacturer warranty and a very high user rating from hundreds of reviews, and it comes across as a robust, well-proven choice.
Price will be the biggest stumbling block. This is a premium range cooker and will sit above many standard dual fuel cookers on cost, especially once you factor in professional installation for both gas and electrics.
Despite the high-end positioning, the ovens are relatively simple in terms of functions: both main and second cavities are single-function fan ovens, with no dedicated defrost, grill in the main ovens, or extra heating combinations. Many similarly priced rivals offer a few more cooking modes.
There is no cooling or residual heat indicator on the hob, and there is no child lock on the control panel, which families with young children may miss. The second and third cavities lack interior lights, which makes checking on food a bit less convenient.
Finally, there is no supplied LPG conversion kit or gas hose, so if you are on bottled gas you will need to budget for the kit and professional fitting separately.
Day to day, the Professional Plus feels reassuringly solid. Rotary controls and push-button ignition are familiar and easy to use, and the LED clock with minute minder makes it simple to keep on top of timing. Once set up, there is very little learning curve if you have used a fan oven and gas hob before.
The 100cm width gives you plenty of elbow room on the hob, and the cast iron pan supports feel stable when you are moving heavy pans around. The central wok burner delivers strong, focused heat from 1 to 4kW, so boiling large pots or flash frying is quick and controllable.
The two fan ovens heat evenly from shelf to shelf, which is helpful when batch baking or roasting on multiple levels. Telescopic runners and the Handyrack make it easier to baste or check on joints of meat without reaching too far into a hot oven. The glide-out grill means you can keep a closer eye on cheese on toast or crisping up toppings without juggling hot trays.
Cleaning is relatively straightforward. The catalytic liners in the main oven help to break down grease during normal cooking, reducing the need for heavy scrubbing. The enamel interiors in the other cavities wipe down easily, although you will still need the occasional deeper clean. The stainless steel exterior will need regular wiping to stay streak-free, but it rewards you with a professional, modern look.
Performance from the two fan ovens is strong and straightforward. At 79L and 82L, each cavity is genuinely large, easily handling multiple trays at once. Fan assistance in both ovens keeps temperatures consistent across shelves, which is ideal for baking batches of biscuits, roasting vegetables and cooking full family meals without hot spots.
Energy efficiency is respectable for such a large appliance, with A ratings on both main and second cavities and fan energy consumption listed at 0.78 kWh and 0.83 kWh. Triple glazed doors help keep heat in the oven and reduce the amount that spills into the kitchen, particularly helpful during long, slow cooks.
The gas hob is built for versatility. Five burners cover everything from gentle simmering through to high-heat stir-frying, with a burner power range of 1–4kW. The steel hob surface and heavy cast iron pan supports are robust and stand up well to daily use, while automatic ignition and flame failure cut-off provide a good balance of convenience and safety.
The dedicated third cavity is a variable electric grill, housed behind a drop-down door and paired with a glide-out tray and supplied grill pan with handle. This separation means you can grill and bake at the same time without flavour transfer or awkward shelf shuffling.
While there are no advanced multi-function cooking modes or smart connectivity, the feature set is practical rather than flashy: catalytic liners, telescopic shelves, height-adjustable feet, a Handyrack for roasts and a programmable timer. In a busy kitchen, these are the touches that genuinely make life easier.
As a 100cm dual fuel range from a leading British brand, the Professional Plus PROP100DFFSS/C commands a premium price, and it will sit above many standard 60cm cookers and some smaller ranges. You are paying for width, capacity, dual fuel flexibility and Rangemaster’s build quality.
Given the generous oven sizes, 5-burner hob with wok burner, quality materials and sensible ease-of-use features, the package feels well thought out rather than padded with gimmicks. The 2-year warranty, while not class-leading, is still decent for a large appliance and adds reassurance.
The very high user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over 700 reviews is a strong indicator that owners generally feel they have had good value for money once the cooker is installed and in daily use. If your budget can stretch and you will genuinely use the extra space and features, it represents solid long-term value. If you cook less frequently or have a smaller household, you may not see the full benefit of the higher spend.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP100DFFSS/C is a big, capable and well-proven dual fuel range cooker that earns its place in a busy kitchen. Huge fan ovens, a proper separate grill and a spacious 5-burner hob give it the flexibility to handle everything from weekday pasta to Christmas lunch with ease.
It is not the most feature-packed oven in terms of cooking modes, and the lack of a few niceties such as cavity lights in the smaller ovens and a control lock may disappoint some buyers at this price. Installation costs will also add up as it needs both a Gas Safe engineer and electrician.
If you are looking for a premium, reliable range cooker with masses of space, solid build and genuinely helpful practical features rather than flashy extras, this Rangemaster is a very strong contender. Home cooks who entertain regularly or feed a large family will get the most from it, and the weight of positive owner feedback suggests it should be a purchase you will be happy to live with for years.
