The Stoves Richmond Deluxe 60Ei RTY is a 60cm-wide electric mini range that aims to bring traditional range-style looks and serious cooking flexibility to a standard slot-in space. With twin ovens, a modern induction hob and an A/A energy rating, it is clearly pitched as a premium option rather than an entry-level cooker.
Stoves is a well-regarded British cooking brand, and that heritage shows here in the feature list: TrueTemp™ for stable oven temperatures, Equiflow™ for even heat, an integrated AirFry tray, and a host of convenience touches such as SteamCleanse and telescopic runners. This is the sort of cooker you buy if you care about how your food turns out, not just about getting it on the table.
With a user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over a hundred reviews, it is also a well-proven choice in real homes. Owners clearly rate its performance and day-to-day usability, which is reassuring given the relatively high price tag.
This Stoves Richmond Deluxe is ideal for family kitchens that want range-style flexibility but only have space for a standard 60cm slot. The 70-litre main fan oven plus 33-litre conventional top oven and grill give you plenty of room for Sunday roasts, batch cooking or entertaining, without needing a full-size range.
It suits confident home cooks and keen bakers who will make use of features like TrueTemp™, Equiflow™, Steam & Infuse™ and the dedicated AirFry tray. If you regularly juggle mains, sides and puds, the dual cavities and even heat distribution will make a noticeable difference.
The induction hob, with automatic pan detection, boost function and child lock, is a strong fit for busy households who want fast, responsive heat but extra safety around children. It is also a good step up if you are moving from an older ceramic or solid-plate hob and want better control and efficiency.
Budget-wise, this is a premium 60cm electric cooker rather than a bargain buy. It makes most sense if you plan to cook frequently and want long-term quality and features, rather than just ticking the basic boxes.
The twin-oven layout is a real strength: a 70-litre fan main oven and a 33-litre conventional top oven/grill make it easy to cook at two temperatures or grill and bake at the same time. For families or keen hosts, that flexibility is invaluable.
The induction hob is fast, efficient and safer than traditional electric or gas; pan detection and residual heat indicators reduce the risk of accidents, while the boost function helps you get water boiling in a fraction of the time.
Cooking performance is well supported by Stoves’ own technologies. TrueTemp™ helps the oven reach and hold the temperature you set, while Equiflow™ circulates heat evenly across all five shelf positions, reducing the need to shuffle trays around.
Cleaning is easier than on many rivals thanks to easy-clean enamel, SteamCleanse and removable inner door glass. You still need to wipe it down, but food is less likely to bake on hard.
Thoughtful touches like Maxi Clock™ touch controls, telescopic PRO-TRAC™ runners, an integrated splashback, slow cook and pizza settings, plus the included AirFry tray, all add up to a cooker that feels genuinely well considered in everyday use.
This is not a cheap cooker, and while the feature set is strong, the price will feel steep if you simply want a basic appliance to reheat and roast occasionally.
Despite the premium positioning, the main cavity relies on enamel rather than full pyrolytic self-cleaning, so very heavy users may still find deep cleans a bit of a chore.
There is no supplied power cable and it requires hard wiring by an electrician, which adds to the upfront cost compared with some plug-in models.
A 32-amp connection and 12,900W connected load also mean you need to be confident your home’s electrics can support it; that will not suit every property without potential upgrade work.
Living with the Richmond Deluxe 60Ei RTY is all about having flexibility without dominating your kitchen. At 60cm wide and 90cm high with adjustable feet, it slots neatly into a standard gap while the anthracite finish and traditional styling give it a more upmarket, range-like presence.
Controls are a mix of rotary dials and an LED Maxi Clock™ display, which keeps things intuitive. Setting the timer or delay start is straightforward, and the acoustic alarm at the end of cooking is loud enough to hear from another room, reducing the risk of overcooking.
The induction hob feels immediately responsive: heat changes are near-instant, and the four medium-sized zones are well suited to typical saucepans and frying pans. The child lock and automatic switch-off add peace of mind if you are prone to being distracted mid-cook.
Inside the ovens, telescopic PRO-TRAC™ sliders and telescopic runners on the shelves make it easy to baste roasts or check bakes without risking burns or wobbling trays. Interior halogen lighting in both cavities gives a clear view, so you are less likely to open the door and lose heat.
Cleaning routines are helped by SteamCleanse and easy-clean enamel. A quick steam cycle followed by a wipe-down usually shifts most spills, and the removable inner door glass means you can keep the doors looking smart with less effort. The integrated splashback also helps protect your wall from hob splatter.
Performance-wise, the 70-litre main fan oven is the workhorse. With a total oven power of 3200W and fan-assisted heat, it gets up to temperature briskly and keeps it steady using TrueTemp™. That is a big advantage for baking cakes, bread and pastry where consistency matters.
Equiflow™ technology helps distribute heat evenly throughout the cavity, so trays on different shelves cook at similar rates. Combined with five shelf positions, this makes it practical to batch-bake or cook multiple courses together, cutting down on time and energy use.
The second 33-litre cavity works as both a conventional oven and a variable-rate dual circuit Maxi-Grill™. It is great for smaller meals, crisping up pasta bakes or grilling bacon, and means you do not always need to fire up the larger oven. Closed-door grilling keeps heat in the cavity and reduces cooking smells spreading through the room.
On the hob, four induction zones (each rated at 1800W within a 1.2–2.2kW range) offer plenty of power for everyday cooking. The boost function is particularly handy when you are in a rush, while pan detection and automatic switch-off ensure the zones only heat when and where they should.
Added-value features round out the package: a dedicated defrost setting for safer thawing, slow cook for low-and-slow dishes, a pizza function, Steam & Infuse™ for juicier roasts, and an AirFry tray that lets you achieve crisp results without a separate countertop air fryer. Together with child lock, overheating protection and residual heat indicators, this is a cooker that delivers both performance and reassurance.
The Richmond Deluxe 60Ei RTY clearly sits towards the premium end of 60cm electric cookers, and its feature set reflects that. You are paying not just for the Stoves name and styling, but for dual A-rated ovens, an induction hob and a deep list of performance and convenience technologies.
For households that cook daily and want a step up from basic freestanding cookers, the combination of TrueTemp™, Equiflow™, AirFry, SteamCleanse, Steam & Infuse™ and induction hob safety features offers strong long-term value. The 3-year manufacturer warranty also adds confidence that you are investing in an appliance designed to last.
With a 4.7/5 rating from over 100 owners, real-world users seem to feel they are getting their money’s worth, particularly in terms of cooking results and ease of use. If you rarely cook from scratch or simply need something inexpensive, this model may be overkill. But for serious home cooks wanting a compact mini range, the price is justified by the spec and user feedback.
The Stoves Richmond Deluxe 60Ei RTY is a very capable 60cm electric cooker that delivers range-style functionality in a compact footprint. Strong oven performance, a responsive induction hob and a wealth of thoughtful features make it especially appealing to families and enthusiastic home cooks.
Its premium price, lack of full pyrolytic cleaning and the need for professional hard wiring are the main compromises, but none are deal-breakers if you are looking for a long-term, feature-rich centrepiece for your kitchen.
If you value even cooking, flexible space, quick heating and a smart, traditional look, this Stoves mini range is an excellent choice. Those on tighter budgets or with very simple cooking needs may be better with a more basic model, but as a do-it-all cooker for a busy home, it is hard to fault.
