The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90ECGB/C is a 90cm electric range cooker with a ceramic hob, designed for cooks who want the look and feel of a professional kitchen at home. With three separate cavities and a five-zone hob, it offers more space and flexibility than a standard cooker.
Rangemaster is a trusted name in range cookers, and this model sits firmly at the premium end of the electric range market. It is not a budget choice, but you are paying for capacity, build quality and a very practical layout.
Backed by an excellent 4.7 out of 5 rating from over 300 reviews, it is clearly a well-loved option among owners, particularly those cooking for families or who entertain regularly.
This 90cm Rangemaster is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and often have several dishes on the go. The twin large fan ovens (79L and 67L) plus a dedicated grill cavity make it especially well suited to family Sunday lunches, batch cooking and entertaining.
It is a strong fit if you like the look of a traditional range but prefer the simplicity and cleanliness of an all‑electric setup. The ceramic hob will appeal to anyone upgrading from an older electric or solid plate hob and wanting a flat, easy-to-wipe surface without the cost of induction.
Given its price and specification, this is best suited to buyers with a mid to high budget who see the cooker as a long-term investment in the kitchen. It will particularly suit confident cooks and keen bakers who will make use of the two fan ovens and handy extras like the Handyrack and programmable timer.
If you have a very compact kitchen, cook only occasionally or rarely need more than one oven, this model is likely to be more than you need, both in size and price.
The twin electric fan ovens are the star attraction. With 79L in the main cavity and 67L in the second, you can roast, bake and reheat at different temperatures without juggling shelves. Fan assistance in both means even cooking throughout, which is especially reassuring for baking and multi-shelf roasting.
The dedicated top-left grill cavity with a glide-out grill tray is a genuinely practical touch. It is easier and safer to baste, turn and check food when the grill pan slides out smoothly rather than needing to reach into a hot cavity.
The five-zone ceramic hob offers generous space for multiple pans, with a mix of zone sizes to suit everything from small saucepans to larger pots. The flat glass surface is quick to wipe down, and residual heat indicators help you avoid accidental burns and make the most of leftover heat.
Cleaning has been well thought through. Catalytic liners in the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, while the other cavities use easy-clean enamel. For a large range cooker, this significantly cuts down on scrubbing.
There is also a good spread of usability features: a clear LED programmable timer, adjustable shelves, automatic safety shut-off and triple glazed doors that help keep heat in the oven and the kitchen a little cooler. A two-year manufacturer warranty adds extra peace of mind on a premium purchase.
The most obvious drawback is the price: this is a premium range cooker, so it will feel expensive if you are upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker or working to a tight kitchen budget.
Although the ceramic hob is spacious and easy to clean, it lacks the efficiency and instant response of induction. There is no pan detection or zoned power-boosting, so if you are used to the speed and precision of induction, this will feel like a step down.
Neither the second oven nor the grill cavity has an interior light, which makes it harder to check on food without opening the door. Over time, that can become mildly irritating, especially when using the right-hand oven frequently.
Despite the overall high spec, there are no advanced cooking programmes or specialist functions beyond standard fan cooking and a slow cook feature. If you want steam functions or lots of preset modes, you will not find them here.
Finally, it requires hard wiring by an electrician with a 45‑amp supply, and there is no fitted plug or cable. That is normal for powerful range cookers but does add to the installation cost.
Living with the Professional Plus PROP90ECGB/C is all about having plenty of space and clear organisation. With the main oven bottom left, second oven on the right and grill at the top left, it is easy to dedicate each cavity to a task – for example, main courses in one oven, sides in the other and finishing off gratins or bacon under the grill.
The rotary controls and LED display are straightforward, with no complex menus to learn. The electronic programmable timer is particularly handy for longer roasts or bakes, allowing you to set start and stop times so dinner is ready when you are.
The ceramic hob heats up quickly enough for everyday cooking and the variety of zone sizes means fewer compromises when choosing pans. Residual heat indicators remain lit while the surface is still hot, which is helpful in busy family kitchens.
Cleaning is relatively manageable for a range of this size. Catalytic liners in the main oven reduce baked-on grease, and the easy-clean enamel elsewhere means a wipe with a suitable cleaner usually does the job. You do not get pyrolytic self‑cleaning, but you also avoid the long, very hot cleaning cycles that come with it.
Triple glazed doors help keep the outer glass cooler to the touch, and automatic safety shut-off provides extra reassurance if you are prone to forgetting to switch the oven off after use.
In performance terms, the Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90ECGB/C is built to handle big cooking demands. Both the 79L main oven and 67L second oven are fan-assisted, which promotes even heat distribution across multiple shelves. Owners can expect consistent results for batch baking, large joints of meat and multi-tray meals.
Energy ratings of A for both main and second cavities, along with fan energy consumption figures of 0.83 kWh and 0.79 kWh respectively, are respectable for ovens of this size. They will never be the cheapest to run simply due to their capacity, but they are efficient for a large range cooker.
The five-zone ceramic hob, with a power range from 1.1 to 2.02 kW, provides enough punch for boiling, frying and simmering, and the flat glass surface keeps the kitchen looking sleek. While it lacks the smarter controls and precise low-temperature capability of induction, it remains a dependable and familiar option for most cooks.
Rangemaster has added several thoughtful usability features. The Handyrack on the main oven door makes it easier to access roasts without reaching deep into the cavity. The glide-out grill improves access and safety when grilling at high temperatures. Residual heat indicators on the hob, adjustable shelves and height-adjustable legs all contribute to a more comfortable day‑to‑day experience.
On the safety and build side, you get triple glazed doors for better insulation, automatic safety shut-off, and Rangemaster’s Catch‑rite door fixtures for a solid, reassuring close. A two‑year manufacturer warranty for domestic use only reflects its positioning as a quality, long‑term appliance.
This Rangemaster sits towards the higher end of the electric range cooker price spectrum. You are paying a premium over basic 90cm models, but in return you get two large fan ovens, a separate grill, a five‑zone ceramic hob and a generally robust, professional‑looking build.
The feature set is not flashy in terms of smart connectivity or advanced programmes, but it is very strong where it matters: capacity, layout, convenience features and ease of cleaning. For many households, these practical strengths will matter more than extra gimmicks.
The impressive user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from a large number of reviews suggests owners feel they have had good value from their purchase over time. If you cook frequently and will use the space and flexibility on offer, the higher upfront cost is easier to justify.
If, however, you only need a single oven and a smaller hob, you are unlikely to see the full benefit of what you are paying for here, and a simpler cooker could represent better value.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90ECGB/C is a well thought‑out, highly capable electric range cooker that shines in busy kitchens. Its combination of two large fan ovens, a separate grill and a five‑zone ceramic hob gives you the flexibility to handle everything from weeknight meals to big family gatherings with ease.
Build quality, practicality and owner satisfaction are all strong. Features like catalytic liners, the Handyrack, glide‑out grill and clear programmable timer show that real consideration has gone into everyday use, not just headline specs.
The main caveats are its premium price, the choice of ceramic rather than induction, and a few omissions such as oven lights in the secondary cavities. If you can live with those, and you are looking for a reliable, spacious electric range from a respected British brand, this Rangemaster is a very compelling option.
