The Stoves Richmond DX MRA 60Ei RTY is a 60cm-wide electric mini range that aims to bring classic range cooker style to standard slots. With its induction hob, multifunction main oven and dedicated Maxi-Grill cavity, it’s designed for households that love to cook but don’t have space for a full-size range.
Stoves is a long-established British cooking brand, and this model clearly sits at the premium end of the 60cm electric cooker market, both in design and feature set. The Midnight Blue finish gives it a statement look rather than a purely functional feel.
With an owner rating of 4.7 out of 5 from well over a hundred reviews, it’s a well‑liked cooker, particularly among home cooks who want precise control and a good mix of modern features and traditional flexibility.
This Stoves Richmond mini range is ideal for keen cooks who are short on space but still want the versatility of a range-style appliance. At 60cm wide, it will slide into a standard cooker gap while offering a generous 70-litre multifunction main oven plus a 33-litre secondary oven and grill.
It suits medium-sized households that regularly roast, bake and batch cook. The 13 cooking functions, TrueTemp temperature control and Steam & Infuse feature will particularly appeal to those who like experimenting with recipes and want consistent results rather than just basic on/off heat.
Given its specification and styling, this is a premium rather than budget choice. It’s best suited to buyers willing to pay more for induction, advanced oven functions and a more upmarket look. If you simply want a cheap cooker for occasional use, this is likely more than you need.
It’s also a strong option for safety-conscious families: induction zones with pan detection and automatic switch-off, a child lock, residual heat indicators and overheating protection make it a reassuring pick in a busy kitchen.
The combination of a 70-litre multifunction main oven and a 33-litre secondary conventional oven/grill gives excellent flexibility in a compact 60cm footprint. You can roast in the main oven while grilling or baking sides in the top cavity, which is great for Sunday lunches and entertaining.
The induction hob offers fast, responsive heat with four 1.8kW zones, a boost function for quick boiling, pan detection and automatic switch-off. Compared with traditional ceramic or solid plate hobs, it’s more efficient, easier to control and safer, as the glass surface doesn’t get as hot without a pan.
TrueTemp technology helps keep the oven temperature more stable, which is a real benefit for baking and precise cooking. Steam & Infuse and SteamCleanse add moisture and flavour to roasts while making light cleaning easier after use.
Convenience touches such as the Maxi-Grill cavity, AirFry function and tray, PRO-TRAC telescopic runners, Maxi Clock LED display, delay timer and easy-clean enamel interiors all make it nicer to use day to day. Owners also rate it highly overall, which backs up the strong spec sheet.
This is very much a premium-priced 60cm cooker, so it won’t suit tighter budgets, especially when cheaper electric cookers offer basic functionality for less. You are paying extra for induction, the brand name and the advanced features.
The manufacturer warranty is only one year, which feels a little mean at this price point; some rivals offer longer cover, adding peace of mind on such a key appliance.
There’s no power cable included and it requires hard wiring by an electrician with a 32-amp supply, so you should factor installation costs into your budget. It also lacks a bridge function on the hob, so if you regularly use large griddle pans or fish kettles, the four independent medium zones may feel limiting.
Finally, while the main oven has telescopic runners, the secondary cavity comes with no shelves listed, so you may need to buy extras or reuse existing ones depending on what’s supplied by the retailer.
Living with the Richmond DX MRA 60Ei RTY should feel reassuringly straightforward once it’s installed. Rotary and touch controls keep things familiar yet modern, while the Maxi Clock LED display and delay timer make it easy to plan meals around your schedule.
The induction hob is a highlight in daily use. Zones heat pans quickly, then back off just as fast when you lower the setting, which helps prevent boiling over and burnt food. Pan detection and automatic switch-off reduce wasted energy and provide extra safety if a zone is left on by mistake.
Inside the main oven, PRO-TRAC telescopic sliders and telescopic runners mean you can safely pull heavy trays out to baste or check food without wrestling with hot shelves. The interior light in both ovens gives a clear view of your cooking without needing to open the door and lose heat.
Cleaning is helped by easy-clean enamel and SteamCleanse, which softens baked-on grime using steam so it’s easier to wipe away. Removable inner door glass also makes it simpler to keep the viewing windows clear. The integrated splashback at the rear helps protect your wall from splashes and steam when using the hob.
Performance-wise, the 70-litre main oven offers plenty of space for large joints of meat, family-sized casseroles or multiple baking trays. As a multifunction oven with 13 functions, it supports conventional heat, fan options, pizza settings, slow cook and more, so you can tailor the heat to whatever you’re cooking.
TrueTemp technology aims to hold the set temperature more accurately than a basic thermostat, which can make a noticeable difference to cakes, pastries and evenly browned roasts. Combined with top and bottom elements, bottom heat only and fan options, it’s a very capable all-rounder for serious home cooks.
The second 33-litre cavity operates as a conventional oven and variable-rate dual circuit grill. Stoves’ Maxi-Grill design gives a wide grilling area, useful for cheese on toast, sausages or finishing off gratins. Having this extra cavity makes it easier to cook at two different temperatures at once.
The induction hob’s four 1.8kW medium zones cover most everyday pans comfortably. The boost function helps with rapid boiling, while residual heat indicators, a child lock and overheating protection enhance safety. Although there’s no bridge function for extra-large cookware, each zone’s control and responsiveness should be more than adequate for most households.
Added extras such as the AirFry function and tray, Steam & Infuse for moister, more flavourful roasts, and the SteamCleanse cleaning aid put this cooker a step above many standard 60cm models. These features make it especially attractive if you want to explore healthier cooking styles and more adventurous recipes without adding separate countertop gadgets.
This Stoves Richmond sits firmly in premium territory for a 60cm electric cooker. You could certainly spend less on a basic ceramic-hob model, but you’d be giving up induction, the advanced oven functions and the range-style design.
Considering the induction hob, large multifunction main oven, useful second cavity, AirFry capability, Steam & Infuse, TrueTemp control and a host of safety features, the specification is strong for a compact cooker. For a household that cooks every day and wants both performance and flexibility, the higher price is easier to justify.
The impressive 4.7/5 owner rating from over a hundred reviews suggests that buyers generally feel they’ve had their money’s worth, with few regrets once installed. If you’ll mostly be reheating ready meals and doing light cooking, it’s overkill. But for enthusiastic home cooks who’ll make use of its features, it represents solid long-term value despite the initial outlay and short standard warranty.
The Stoves Richmond DX MRA 60Ei RTY is a feature-rich, stylish mini range for those who take their cooking seriously but don’t have room for a full-size range cooker. Its combination of a responsive induction hob, generous 70-litre multifunction main oven and a handy secondary oven/grill gives you true flexibility in a standard 60cm slot.
Everyday usability is strong, with thoughtful touches like telescopic runners, a clear LED clock and timer, easy-clean enamel and helpful safety features. Functions such as AirFry, Steam & Infuse and TrueTemp go beyond the basics and make it easier to achieve consistent, tasty results without extra gadgets.
The main drawbacks are its premium price, the short one-year warranty and the need for professional hard-wired installation. If you’re on a strict budget, simpler models make more financial sense. But if you want a compact cooker that looks the part, performs well across a wide range of dishes and is highly rated by owners, this Stoves Richmond is a very strong contender.
