The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP100EIGB/C is a 100cm electric range cooker with a five-zone induction hob, twin fan ovens and a separate grill. It’s a premium bit of kit aimed at households that cook a lot and want restaurant-style results at home.
Rangemaster is one of the most trusted names in range cookers, and this model sticks firmly to that reputation: contemporary styling, generous capacities and thoughtful cooking features rather than gimmicks. It’s an all-electric design with efficient induction on top, so it suits modern homes looking to move away from gas.
With an impressive 4.9 out of 5 from over 130 owner reviews, it’s clearly a well-loved appliance. It does sit at the higher end of the price scale for electric range cookers, but the build, capacity and ease-of-use features go beyond what you get from many mid-range alternatives.
This Rangemaster is ideal for larger households, keen home cooks and anyone who frequently juggles multiple dishes. With a 73-litre main fan oven, an even bigger 82-litre second fan oven and a separate 25-litre grill, there’s masses of space for Sunday roasts, batch cooking or entertaining.
It suits buyers with a premium or upper mid-range budget who want to invest once in a cooker that can genuinely handle everything. The specification, build and brand put it above entry-level ranges, and the efficient induction hob gives you the speed and control you’d expect at this price.
If you’re upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker, this is a big step up in both footprint and capacity, so it’s best for medium to large kitchens where a 100cm appliance won’t dominate the room. It’s also well matched to confident cooks who will make use of the separate cavities and flexible hob zones, though the simple rotary controls and programmable timer mean it’s not intimidating for less experienced users.
If you live alone, rarely cook, or are working to a tight budget, this is likely overkill. But for families, foodies and anyone who hosts regularly, it’s the kind of cooker you can build a kitchen around.
The standout advantage here is capacity. A 73-litre main fan oven plus an 82-litre second fan oven is huge even by range standards, so you can cook the main course and dessert together, or run two mains at different shelf heights without crowding. The separate 25-litre variable electric grill gives you instant access to grilling without tying up either oven.
The five-zone induction hob is another major strength. Induction offers rapid heat-up times, precise control and better energy efficiency than traditional electric or gas. Pan detection and automatic safety shut-off add peace of mind, while the glass surface is flat and easy to wipe down after cooking.
Day-to-day cleaning is helped by catalytic liners in the main cavity and easy-clean enamel elsewhere. The liners absorb grease when the oven is hot, cutting down on scrubbing. Features like the glide-out grill and the Handyrack (a tray that swings out with the oven door) make it much easier to check on food or baste roasts without reaching into a hot oven.
Owners also benefit from practical touches such as a bright LED display, programmable electronic timer and triple-glazed doors, which help keep heat in and doors cooler to the touch. Backed by a two-year manufacturer warranty and a near-perfect user rating, it feels like a robust, well-thought-out appliance.
The most obvious drawback is cost. This is firmly a premium range cooker, so if you’re simply after more space than a standard cooker and don’t need the brand pedigree or induction hob, there are cheaper options.
Despite the price, the ovens are relatively straightforward in terms of functions: both main and second cavities are single-function fan ovens without extra programmes such as dedicated defrost or grill elements inside the oven space. Many people won’t miss these, but if you love having multiple cooking modes, you may find the feature set a little conservative.
There are also a few convenience features missing that some buyers might expect at this level. There’s no control panel lock, which could matter in homes with very young children, and no residual heat indicator on the hob, so you’ll rely on common sense when the zones have just switched off. The second and third cavities lack interior lights too, which can make it harder to check on food without opening the door.
Finally, the electrical connection is a hefty 14.8kW with a 45-amp requirement and no fitted cable, so you’ll definitely need a qualified electrician to install it. That’s normal for serious range cookers, but it is an extra cost and bit of planning to factor in.
Living with the Rangemaster Professional Plus feels reassuringly solid and straightforward. The rotary controls are clearly laid out, and the LED display with electronic programmable timer makes it easy to set cooking times or schedule the oven to come on when you need it. Once you’ve learned which cavity you prefer for different jobs, day-to-day cooking quickly becomes second nature.
The induction hob is a pleasure to use. Zones respond quickly when you turn the dials, so boiling water or bringing a pan up to frying temperature takes noticeably less time than on a ceramic or solid-plate hob. Pan detection means the zone only heats when a suitable pan is on it, which is both safer and more efficient, and the smooth glass surface wipes clean in moments once it has cooled.
The twin fan ovens give very even results, so tray bakes, roasts and multi-shelf cooking are consistent from edge to edge. The Handyrack on the main oven door makes basting joints or checking roast potatoes much easier, as the roasting tray comes out with the door instead of you reaching into the oven. The glide-out grill is similarly user-friendly: the pan slides out smoothly so you can turn toast or finish off dishes without juggling hot trays.
Cleaning is relatively low-hassle for such a large appliance. Catalytic liners in the main cavity help break down grease during normal cooking, and the rest of the interiors are finished with easy-clean enamel. You’ll still need the occasional deeper clean, but you’re not fighting baked-on grime every week. The lack of removable inner door glass means cleaning the doors is a bit more fiddly than on some rivals, though it’s not a deal-breaker.
Given its size and the need for hard-wiring, this isn’t an appliance you’ll be moving around, but the height-adjustable legs help you line it up neatly with your worktops so it looks built-in and feels part of your kitchen furniture.
Performance is a real strong point for this cooker. Both the 73-litre main oven and 82-litre second oven use fan-assisted heating, so hot air circulates evenly and cooks food thoroughly across multiple shelves. With A ratings for both cavities and modest energy consumption figures for fan cooking, it’s efficient for such a large-capacity range.
The five-zone induction hob combines everyday practicality with modern safety. With a burner power range of 1.15 to 3kW, you can simmer gently on the smaller zones or sear steaks and stir-fries on the more powerful ones. Pan detection and automatic safety shut-off reduce the risk of accidents, and because heat is generated in the pan rather than the hob surface, the glass top doesn’t get as hot as a traditional electric hob.
In terms of features, the Professional Plus focuses on high-quality essentials. The Handyrack is genuinely useful for roasts, and flexible shelf positioning in the ovens lets you tailor the space to everything from tall casseroles to multiple trays of biscuits. The glide-out grill is more than a gimmick – it makes grilling safer and more convenient, especially when the grill pan is full.
Cleaning support is better than on many ranges. Catalytic stay-clean liners on the sides of the main cavity quietly work away at grease during normal cooking temperatures, and the enamel interiors elsewhere are smooth and straightforward to wipe. Easy-clean enamel on the grill and secondary oven is also a welcome touch.
The spec does keep things relatively simple in other areas: no complex cooking programmes, no steam or pyrolytic self-cleaning, and limited status indicators. For some cooks that’s a positive – fewer menus and modes to get lost in – while others might miss extra bells and whistles. Overall, though, it strikes a sensible balance between robust performance and fuss-free operation.
This Rangemaster sits at the premium end of the electric range cooker market, and the price reflects that. You’re paying for a combination of brand heritage, substantial build quality, a large induction hob and genuinely generous oven capacities, rather than chasing the lowest possible cost per centimetre.
Looked at purely on features, it doesn’t try to dazzle with smart connectivity or a long list of niche cooking modes. Instead, it delivers consistently strong fundamentals: twin A-rated fan ovens, a responsive induction hob with five zones, and thoughtful design touches like the Handyrack, glide-out grill and catalytic liners. For many households, those practical advantages will be far more valuable over time than rarely used extra functions.
The exceptionally high owner rating – 4.9 out of 5 from over 130 reviews – suggests that most buyers feel they’ve had their money’s worth. Reliability, ease of use and cooking results all appear to justify the investment.
If you’re on a strict budget or don’t need induction, you can certainly find cheaper range cookers. But if you want a cooker that feels built to last, handles big family meals with ease and is a pleasure to cook on every day, the price is well defended.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP100EIGB/C is a standout choice for anyone serious about cooking at home. Between the twin large-capacity fan ovens, separate grill and five-zone induction hob, it offers all the space and control most busy families or enthusiastic cooks will ever need. Everyday usability is excellent, with simple controls, a clear timer, clever features like the Handyrack and glide-out grill, and helpful cleaning aids.
It’s not the cheapest range cooker, and the ovens stick to core fan functions rather than packing in lots of extra programmes. The lack of a control lock, hob residual heat indicators and interior lights in the smaller cavities are minor blemishes on an otherwise well-rounded spec sheet.
If your priority is a rock-solid, high-capacity range with modern induction, strong energy performance and a proven track record with owners, this Rangemaster is easy to recommend. Those on tighter budgets or craving more advanced cooking modes might look elsewhere, but for most family kitchens, it’s an excellent long-term upgrade.
