The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90EICY/C is a 90cm electric range cooker with a five‑zone induction hob, twin fan ovens and a separate glide‑out grill, finished in a bold cranberry red. It’s very much a premium choice aimed at busy family kitchens and keen home cooks who want plenty of space and modern induction cooking.
Rangemaster is a respected British brand in range cookers, and this model reflects that heritage with solid build quality, thoughtful touches like a Handyrack, and an A/A energy rating. With a strong owner rating of 4.9 out of 5 from well over a hundred reviews, it’s clearly a cooker that’s performing well in real homes.
It isn’t a budget option, but you are paying for a flexible three‑cavity layout, fast and efficient induction, and a design that will be a focal point in a contemporary kitchen.
This Rangemaster is ideal for medium to large households that cook most days and often have more than one dish on the go. The combination of two large fan ovens (73L and 67L) plus a dedicated grill cavity means it can comfortably handle Sunday roasts, batch cooking and entertaining.
It suits buyers looking at the premium end of the electric range market, who value build quality and capacity over cutting the initial cost. If you’re upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker or older range and want something that feels like a long‑term investment, this will appeal.
The induction hob makes it a smart choice for those who want fast, responsive and energy‑efficient cooking without gas. It’s particularly good for families with children, as pan detection and automatic safety shut‑off add peace of mind, provided you’re happy to use suitable induction pans.
If you rarely cook, live in a small flat, or just want a basic cooker for occasional use, this will likely feel like overkill. But for enthusiastic home chefs, bakers and busy families, the layout and feature set are very well matched.
The twin electric fan ovens are a major strength: both are large, A‑rated and fan assisted, so you get even cooking on every shelf and the flexibility to bake in one while roasting in the other.
The five‑zone induction hob offers precise, instant heat with pan detection, making it quicker and more efficient than traditional ceramic or solid plate tops. It’s also easier to wipe clean thanks to the flat glass surface.
A separate, top‑left variable electric grill in its own 25L cavity is ideal for quick snacks, finishing off dishes or grilling while both ovens are in use. The glide‑out grill tray makes checking food safer and more convenient.
Catalytic liners in the main oven help break down grease during normal cooking, cutting down on the need for heavy scrubbing. Easy‑clean enamel in the other cavities keeps maintenance fairly straightforward.
Useful design touches such as the Catch‑rite door fixtures, Handyrack roasting tray on the main oven door, LED programmable timer and triple‑glazed doors all contribute to a feeling of quality and day‑to‑day practicality. The excellent user rating suggests reliability and owner satisfaction are high.
This is a high‑end range cooker and the price reflects that; if you’re mainly warming ready meals or cooking for one or two people, you may struggle to justify the cost.
Although the main oven has catalytic liners on the sides, the rest of the interior is enamel, so you’ll still need to periodically clean the back wall, floor and the other cavities yourself.
Neither the second oven nor the grill cavity has an interior light, which makes it harder to check food at a glance compared with some rivals.
There’s no dedicated child lock on the control panel, and the hob doesn’t list a residual heat indicator, so households with very young children will need to be especially careful around the hot surface after cooking.
Finally, installation requires hard‑wiring to a 45‑amp supply by an electrician, and there’s no supplied plug or cable, so there are extra fitting costs to factor in.
Day to day, the PROP90EICY/C feels designed to make regular cooking as hassle‑free as possible. The rotary knobs are clear and tactile, while the LED programmable timer lets you set cooking times for the main oven so dishes can be timed to finish when you’re ready.
The three‑cavity layout works really well in practice. The bottom‑left main fan oven is where you’ll do most of your roasting and baking, with 73 litres of space and adjustable shelves that make it easy to fit large trays. The right‑hand 67L fan oven adds extra capacity for batch cooking or when you’re entertaining.
The dedicated top‑left grill cavity is particularly handy for everyday meals. Because it’s at eye level and uses a glide‑out tray, it feels safer and more comfortable than bending down to a grill in the main oven, especially when dealing with hot fat.
Cleaning isn’t effortless, but it is easier than on older models. The catalytic liners in the main oven reduce baked‑on grease during normal cooking, and the smooth glass induction hob quickly wipes clean once cool. The remaining enamel interiors still need sponge‑and‑spray attention from time to time.
The 90cm width and 60cm depth mean it fits a standard range gap, but it does dominate the space visually, particularly in cranberry. In return you get generous ovens and a spacious hob that can comfortably take multiple large pans at once.
Performance is where this Rangemaster really earns its keep. Both the main and second cavities are large, fan‑assisted electric ovens with single, straightforward fan functions. Fan cooking is consistent and efficient, ideal for roasting meat and vegetables together or baking on multiple shelves without worrying about hot spots.
The induction hob offers five cooking zones with power ranging from 1.15kW up to a punchy 3kW, so you can gently simmer sauces or bring a large pot of water to the boil quickly. Pan detection means the hob only heats when a suitable pan is in place, which improves safety and can reduce wasted energy.
Although there’s only one function in each oven, both are A‑rated for energy efficiency and provide large capacities of 73L and 67L respectively, putting them at the generous end of domestic ranges. The lack of extra modes keeps operation simple, and fan‑only baking is reliable for most everyday recipes.
The third cavity’s variable electric grill gives you a focused, controllable heat source for toast, cheese on toast, chops or crisping the top of a lasagne. Open‑door grilling and the glide‑out mechanism make it easy to monitor and adjust food without wrestling with a heavy tray.
Safety and usability features are well thought through. Automatic safety shut‑off reduces the risk of the oven or hob being left on accidentally, while triple‑glazed doors help keep heat in the cavity and the outer surfaces cooler. A bright LED display and programmable timer make it easier to juggle multiple dishes, and the Handyrack on the main oven door means basting a roast can be done without reaching deep into the oven.
This is clearly positioned as a premium electric range cooker, and its price places it towards the upper end of the market. You’re not paying for a raft of fancy cooking programmes, but rather for build quality, capacity, induction technology and thoughtful design.
Considering the twin large fan ovens, five‑zone induction hob, separate glide‑out grill and convenience touches like catalytic liners and Handyrack, the overall package is strong. For households that cook a lot, those features are likely to be used daily and can justify the higher upfront spend.
The excellent owner feedback – a 4.9 out of 5 rating from a substantial number of reviews – also suggests that buyers generally feel they’ve had good value from the appliance over time. The two‑year manufacturer warranty is decent, though not exceptional at this price, so it may be worth considering extended cover if you want extra peace of mind.
If you’re simply after the cheapest way to get an electric range into the kitchen, there are more basic models available. But if you want a cooker that feels robust, looks the part and offers serious cooking capacity with modern induction, this Rangemaster makes a convincing case for its premium price tag.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90EICY/C is a well‑specified, highly rated 90cm electric range that combines generous oven space with the speed and control of induction. It’s clearly built for people who cook regularly and want a reliable, capable centrepiece for the kitchen.
Strengths include the twin A‑rated fan ovens, separate glide‑out grill, fast five‑zone induction hob and sensible cleaning aids such as catalytic liners and easy‑clean enamel. Owners consistently praise its performance and build, and the cranberry finish adds real character if you’re after a statement piece.
The trade‑offs are mainly around cost, the lack of interior lights in the secondary oven and grill, and the need for professional electrical installation. If those aren’t deal‑breakers, this Rangemaster is an excellent choice for families and enthusiastic home cooks who want a long‑lasting, premium electric range cooker with plenty of room to grow into.
