The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90NGFCY/C is a 90cm gas range cooker that blends classic British styling with a very practical feature set. Finished in cranberry with a contemporary design, it’s built to be a statement piece as well as a hard-working cooker.
With two full-sized ovens, a separate glide-out gas grill and a 5-burner gas hob including a powerful wok burner, it’s clearly aimed at keen home cooks who need flexibility. The main gas oven offers traditional cooking, while the second electric fan oven gives you the even, reliable heat bakers tend to prefer.
Owners rate it highly, with a strong 4.7 out of 5 from hundreds of reviews, which suggests Rangemaster’s reputation for solid build and dependable performance is well earned here. This is a premium-priced range, but it does come with the capacity and features to justify serious consideration if you spend a lot of time cooking.
This Rangemaster is best suited to medium and large households that cook most days and want plenty of oven space. With an 86-litre main gas oven and a 67-litre electric fan oven, there’s ample room for family roasts, batch cooking and entertaining.
It’s a good fit for enthusiastic home cooks who appreciate the responsiveness of gas on the hob but also want the consistency of an electric fan oven for baking. The triple-crown wok burner and sturdy cast iron pan supports will particularly appeal if you do a lot of stir-fries, searing and larger pan cooking.
Given the premium price, it’s ideal for buyers planning a long-term kitchen upgrade rather than a stopgap appliance. The styling and cranberry finish make most sense in a kitchen where the cooker is a focal point, not hidden away.
If you live in a small flat, rarely use more than one oven, or are simply after a basic, low-cost cooker, this model is likely to be more than you need in both size and budget.
The twin-oven layout is a big strength. An 86-litre gas main oven plus a 67-litre electric fan oven gives you the flexibility to slow-cook in one while baking or roasting in the other, which is especially useful at weekends and over Christmas.
The 5-burner gas hob is well thought through, with cast iron pan supports for stability and a powerful triple-crown wok burner for high-heat cooking. Automatic ignition and clear rotary controls make it straightforward to get up to temperature quickly.
Everyday practicality has been considered. Catalytic liners in the main oven help break down grease on the sides as you cook, cutting down on scrubbing. Easy-clean enamel in the other cavities, a glide-out gas grill and telescopic shelf runners all make access and cleaning less of a chore.
Safety and build quality also stand out. A triple-glazed oven door, flame failure safety devices and Catch-rite door fixtures contribute to a solid, reassuring feel. The two-year manufacturer’s warranty adds peace of mind on a big-ticket purchase.
Price is the main drawback. This is firmly a premium range cooker, so it will stretch many budgets, especially if you don’t use all three cavities regularly.
Despite the price, only the main oven gets catalytic liners; the second oven and grill are enamel only. They’re still manageable to clean, but you’ll have a bit more manual work than on some all-catalytic rivals.
The second oven lacks an interior light, which can make it harder to check bakes without opening the door. There’s also no dedicated defrost function in any cavity, so you’ll need to rely on low-temperature settings instead.
Finally, installation isn’t plug-and-play. You’ll need both a Gas Safe engineer (hose not included) and an electrician to attach the power cable properly, which adds to the overall cost if you’re upgrading from a simple freestanding cooker.
Living with the Professional Plus PROP90NGFCY/C feels reassuringly straightforward for such a capable cooker. The rotary controls are traditional but precise, and automatic ignition on the hob and ovens means there’s no fiddling with separate lighters.
The layout is intuitive: the large gas oven on the bottom left for roasts and casseroles, the electric fan oven on the right for baking and multi-tray cooking, and the grill at the top left on a handy glide-out carriage. The Handyrack in the main oven lets you check on a roasting joint without having to juggle a heavy, hot tray over the door.
Cleaning routines are relatively painless. The catalytic liners in the main oven tackle most splashes and spatters during cooking, while the smooth enamel in the other cavities wipes clean with a bit of detergent. Cast iron pan supports lift off in sections for easier sink cleaning.
Noise levels are modest – gas burners are naturally quiet and the fan oven is comparable to a standard built-in oven. The LED display and programmable timer are simple to set, which helps with timing multiple dishes without reaching for a separate kitchen timer.
Performance is where this Rangemaster earns its keep. The main 86-litre gas oven delivers classic conventional heat, hotter at the top and cooler at the bottom, which works brilliantly for traditional cooking. You can slow-cook casseroles lower down while crisping potatoes or pastry near the top.
The 67-litre electric fan oven offers more even temperatures and faster heat-up, ideal for baking batches of biscuits, cakes or multiple trays of side dishes. With an A energy rating and 0.79 kWh per cycle for fan cooking, it’s efficient for such a spacious cavity.
On the hob, five gas burners with a power range from 1 to 4 kW cover everything from gentle simmering to wok-level sizzle. The triple-crown wok burner is powerful enough for proper stir-frying, and the supplied griddle plate adds flexibility for steaks, fish and breakfast items. Cast iron supports keep pans stable, even when you’re moving heavy pots around.
Usability features are a real plus. The glide-out variable gas grill makes it far easier to check on toast or cheese on top without reaching into a hot cavity. Telescopic shelf runners reduce the risk of trays tipping when pulled out, and the Handyrack makes basting a joint more convenient. The triple-glazed window on the main oven door improves insulation and lets you keep an eye on progress without losing heat.
Safety and reliability are underpinned by flame failure devices on the gas burners and an automatic safety shut off. With a two-year manufacturer’s warranty and Rangemaster’s long-standing reputation in the range cooker market, it should stand up well to daily use in a busy home.
This Rangemaster sits at the upper end of the gas range cooker market, and its price reflects that. You’re paying for a respected British brand, a striking design and a specification geared towards serious home cooking rather than occasional use.
In return, you get two genuinely large ovens, a separate grill, a strong 5-burner hob with wok burner and thoughtful features like catalytic liners, telescopic runners and a Handyrack. These are not gimmicks – they all improve day-to-day cooking and cleaning.
The very strong user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from a high number of reviews suggests owners generally feel they’ve had good value, especially when the cooker is used heavily. If you only need a simple cooker for the odd meal, there are far cheaper options that will do the job.
For households that cook often, entertain regularly and want a centrepiece appliance to last many years, the Professional Plus PROP90NGFCY/C justifies its premium outlay better than its sticker price might first suggest.
The Rangemaster Professional Plus PROP90NGFCY/C is a thoroughly capable 90cm gas range cooker that combines generous capacity with a well-judged mix of gas and electric cooking. It’s clearly designed for people who cook a lot and want space, flexibility and dependable results.
Its strengths lie in the twin large ovens, powerful and versatile gas hob, and a raft of practical touches that make everyday use smoother, from catalytic liners and a Handyrack to glide-out grilling and sturdy cast iron supports. Build quality feels solid and the two-year warranty adds reassurance.
You do pay a premium, and the lack of catalytic liners in the second oven plus no interior light there are small disappointments at this price. But taken as a whole, this is a range cooker that will comfortably anchor a busy family kitchen for years. If you’re upgrading your kitchen and want a stylish, high-capacity gas range with excellent user feedback, it deserves a spot near the top of your shortlist.
