The Stoves Richmond 100cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker pairs traditional styling in a cream finish with a thoroughly modern feature set. With four separate ovens and a seven-burner gas hob, it’s clearly aimed at homes that cook a lot and want the flexibility to match.
Stoves is a well-established British cooking brand, and this model feels very much in that mould: solid, feature-packed and unapologetically kitchen‑filling. It’s priced at the premium end of the dual fuel range cooker market, but you can see where the money goes in terms of capacity and features.
With a user rating of 4.5 out of 5 from a decent number of reviews, owners are broadly very happy, particularly with the cooking performance and versatility.
This Stoves Richmond is ideal for busy family homes and keen home cooks who regularly have several dishes on the go. The combination of four ovens and seven gas burners makes it perfect for Sunday roasts, batch cooking, and entertaining.
It suits buyers looking at the premium end of the market who want a statement piece as much as a workhorse. The 100cm width and cream finish give it a traditional range look, so it will sit nicely in a classic or country-style kitchen rather than a very minimal, ultra‑modern space.
If you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, features like the 4kW PowerWok burner, AirFry function, Steam & Infuse and a dedicated slow cook oven give you lots of scope to try different techniques without needing lots of separate gadgets.
On the other hand, if you’re in a small flat, cook for one or two most of the time, or are simply after a straightforward single oven, this will be far more cooker than you realistically need, both in size and in budget.
Four separate oven cavities (including a slow cook oven) give you outstanding flexibility. You can bake, roast, grill and keep something ticking over low and slow, all at once, without juggling shelves or temperatures.
The seven-burner gas hob with cast iron pan supports is properly capable, and the 4kW PowerWok burner delivers strong, focused heat for stir-fries and searing – something you’ll really notice if you currently use a standard burner.
Stoves’ Equiflow-style even heating, TrueTemp temperature control and multifunction main oven make it easier to get consistent results, whether you’re baking cakes or roasting meat.
Thoughtful extras, such as PRO-TRAC telescopic shelves, an included cast iron griddle, AirFry function and Steam & Infuse, add genuine day-to-day usability instead of being gimmicks. Owners also benefit from a reassuring 3-year manufacturer warranty, which is longer than some rivals.
At this price, it’s very much a premium purchase, so it won’t suit tighter budgets or rental properties where a simpler cooker would do the job.
Despite the cost, there are no catalytic or pyrolytic self-cleaning liners; the main cavities use enamel, so you’ll still need to put in elbow grease to keep them spotless.
The cooker needs both hard-wired electrical connection and a Gas Safe engineer for installation, and there’s no power cable or gas hose included, which adds to the overall setup cost.
It’s also physically large at 100cm wide, so you’ll need sufficient space and a suitably sized gap in your kitchen layout – not something everyone can accommodate.
Living with the Stoves Richmond 100cm is all about having options. The quad oven layout means you’re rarely short of space: a multifunction main oven, a second fan oven, a separate grill and a slow cook oven, all with sensible capacities, let you assign each task to the most suitable cavity instead of cramming everything into one.
The front-mounted rotary and touch controls, LED Maxi Clock and oven display make it straightforward to set times and temperatures. A delay timer and end-of-cooking acoustic alarm are particularly handy for weeknight meals, so you’re not constantly clock‑watching.
On the hob, the layout of seven burners, including the central PowerWok, makes it easy to position different pan sizes, and the sturdy cast iron pan supports and supplied griddle plate give a professional feel. Automatic ignition and a flame failure safety device add both convenience and peace of mind.
Cleaning is a mixed bag: enamel interiors and removable shelf runners are easier to wipe down than bare metal, and SteamCleanse can help loosen baked-on food. However, without catalytic liners you’ll still need to clean the ovens fairly regularly if you cook a lot of roasts and bakes.
In terms of core cooking performance, this is a very capable range cooker. The total oven power of 3200W spread across four cavities, combined with A/A/A energy ratings, means it heats efficiently while still offering plenty of oomph for everyday use. Both the main multifunction oven and the second fan oven are a good size for large trays and family meals.
The gas hob is one of the standout elements. Seven burners with a power range from 1kW up to a punchy 4kW wok burner cover everything from gentle simmering to rapid boiling and high-heat stir-frying. Heavy-duty cast iron supports keep pans stable, and the included griddle opens up quick steaks, vegetables or breakfast cooks without needing a separate pan.
Feature-wise, it’s very well specified for a range in this category. You get AirFry functionality and tray for crisping chips and breaded foods with less oil, Steam & Infuse to lock moisture and flavour into joints of meat, and a dedicated slow cook oven for stews and casseroles. TrueTemp aims to maintain more accurate oven temperatures, helping baking and roasting results to be repeatable.
Practical touches like PRO-TRAC telescopic shelves in key cavities, closed-door grilling, steam-assisted cleaning and removable shelf runners all contribute to making the cooker easier and safer to use. Halogen interior lighting lets you check on food without opening the doors, and side-opening doors on the main and second cavities improve access compared with a standard drop-down design.
Safety is well covered, with a hob flame failure device, child lock and automatic ignition. For homes on bottled gas, LPG compatibility is a plus, though you’ll need an additional kit. Combined with a three-year warranty, it feels like a considered, family‑friendly package for heavy, regular use.
This Stoves Richmond sits in a premium price bracket for dual fuel range cookers, so it’s not an impulse buy. However, you are paying for a genuinely comprehensive specification: four ovens including a slow cooker, seven-burner gas hob with a proper wok burner, AirFry, Steam & Infuse, TrueTemp and a raft of usability features.
The A-rated ovens help keep running costs sensible over time, especially if you’re cooking daily, and the build feels geared to long-term use rather than being a stop-gap appliance. The three-year manufacturer warranty adds extra reassurance that aligns with the price point.
Given the strong 4.5/5 user rating and the breadth of functionality on offer, it represents good value for households that will exploit its capacity and features. If you only need occasional cooking or rarely use more than one oven, though, your money would go further on a simpler, cheaper cooker.
The Stoves Richmond 100cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker is a serious bit of kit for homes that take cooking and entertaining seriously. Its quad oven layout, powerful seven-burner gas hob and thoughtful extras like AirFry, Steam & Infuse, TrueTemp and telescopic shelves make it incredibly versatile and rewarding to use.
It’s not without compromises: cleaning isn’t as effortless as on models with catalytic liners, and the purchase and installation costs will be overkill for lighter users. You also need the space and the right services in place to make it work in your kitchen.
If you’re looking for a traditional-style, cream range cooker that can handle everything from weeknight dinners to Christmas lunch with ease, this Stoves model is a strong contender and justifies its premium positioning. For smaller households or occasional cooks, a more modest cooker will likely make better financial sense.
