The Stoves Richmond Deluxe 90cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker is a premium, full‑width range aimed at keen home cooks who want gas on top and electric precision in the ovens. With three separate cavities, a five‑burner gas hob and a long list of cooking functions, it is designed to handle everything from Sunday roasts to midweek stir‑fries.
Stoves is a well‑established British brand in range cookers, and the Richmond Deluxe line sits toward the higher end of the market in both styling and specification. At this price it is very much an investment piece, but you can see where the money goes: triple A energy ratings across the ovens, a powerful 4kW wok burner, Steam & Infuse for juicier roasts, and an AirFry tray for healthier chips.
Owners clearly rate it highly – with an average review score of 4.9 out of 5 from dozens of reviews, feedback is overwhelmingly positive, especially around cooking performance and flexibility.
This 90cm Stoves Richmond Deluxe is ideal for larger households and enthusiastic cooks who regularly use more than one oven at once. With three cavities – including a tall fanned oven and a separate grill – it suits anyone who likes to batch cook, entertain, or juggle different dishes at different temperatures.
Given the premium price, it is best suited to buyers planning a longer‑term kitchen, perhaps as part of a renovation. If you are upgrading from a standard 60cm cooker, you will notice the extra space and convenience immediately, particularly when hosting or cooking large roasts.
The dual fuel setup – gas hob with electric ovens – makes it a strong fit if you love the responsiveness of gas burners but still want the even, reliable results of fan and multifunction electric ovens. The PowerWok burner is especially appealing for those who cook a lot of Asian‑style dishes or simply want fast boiling.
It is less suited to very compact kitchens or those on a tight budget. If you rarely cook for more than two people and barely use an oven, you are unlikely to make full use of its capabilities.
Three oven cavities give excellent flexibility, letting you roast, bake and grill at the same time without juggling shelves. The Titan tall fanned oven and Proflex Splitter system mean you can make smart use of the full 90cm width.
The five‑burner gas hob with cast iron supports and Pan Glide design is robust and practical. The standout 4kW PowerWok burner delivers intense heat for fast stir‑fries and speedy boiling, while the included cast iron griddle adds even more versatility for steaks, breakfasts and grilled vegetables.
Cooking performance is well supported by Stoves’ Equiflow technology and TrueTemp temperature control, which help maintain even heat across shelves for more reliable baking and roasting. Steam & Infuse is a genuinely useful touch, helping lock in moisture and flavour for meats and veg without extra oil.
Convenience features are strong: an AirFry function and tray for healthier, crisp results; telescopic PRO‑TRAC runners for safer access to heavy trays; keep‑warm and slow cook functions; a decent Maxi Clock/LED display with delay timer and acoustic end‑of‑cooking alarm. Owners’ 4.9/5 rating suggests these details all add up to a very satisfying day‑to‑day experience.
This is a premium‑priced range cooker, so while the specification is strong, it will be over budget for many households. If you do not need the third cavity or advanced functions like Steam & Infuse or AirFry, there are cheaper dual fuel ranges that will still cover the basics.
Cleaning could be easier. The main oven has enamel interiors and SteamCleanse to help loosen residue, but there are no catalytic or pyrolytic self‑cleaning liners. You will still need to put in some elbow grease compared with rivals that offer more hands‑off cleaning.
Despite the gas hob’s quality, there is no flame failure safety device listed and no residual heat indicators. That will not trouble confident cooks, but families with small children may prefer the extra peace of mind offered by models with those safety features.
Finally, installation requires both a hard‑wired 32‑amp electrical connection and a Gas Safe engineer for the gas supply, and a power cable and gas hose are not included – all extra costs to factor into your budget.
Living with the Richmond Deluxe 90cm is all about space and organisation. The three separate cavities mean you can dedicate one oven to roasting, another to baking and keep the top cavity free for quick grilling. Side‑opening doors on the lower ovens make it easier to reach in and move heavy dishes without leaning directly over a drop‑down door.
The front‑mounted rotary and touch controls, paired with an LED Maxi Clock, are straightforward and intuitive. The delay timer and acoustic alarm are handy on busy days when you are juggling other jobs – you can set it, walk away and trust it to remind you when dinner is done.
On the hob, the cast iron pan supports feel solid and stable, and the Pan Glide design helps pans move smoothly between burners. Automatic ignition makes lighting burners quick and fuss‑free, and the layout of large, medium, small and wok burners gives you the right heat level for everything from sauces to searing.
Cleaning is manageable rather than effortless. Easy‑clean enamel and removable shelf runners help, and SteamCleanse can soften baked‑on splashes, but you will still be wiping down the cavities manually. The telescopic runners are a thoughtful touch, making it safer and easier to pull out trays for basting or checking food without risking spills.
In terms of core cooking performance, the Richmond Deluxe acquits itself very well. The main multifunction oven offers a 60‑litre capacity with multiple shelf positions and options for conventional heat, top and bottom elements, grill and fan. This flexibility lets you tailor the heat to whatever you are cooking, from crusty bread to delicate pastries.
The right‑hand Titan tall fanned oven gives a generous 81 litres, ideal for batch cooking, multi‑tray baking or larger roasting joints. Combined with Equiflow technology, heat is distributed evenly across the full height, reducing hot spots and helping multiple trays cook at a similar rate. TrueTemp further supports accurate temperature control, which keen bakers will appreciate.
The top left cavity functions as a 33‑litre grill and auxiliary oven, complete with Maxi‑Grill and closed‑door grilling. It is excellent for quickly finishing dishes, browning cheesy toppings or grilling sausages and bacon without firing up a full‑size oven.
On the hob, five gas burners covering 1kW up to a powerful 4kW make it easy to match heat output to your pans. The PowerWok burner provides the intense flame needed for wok cooking and ultra‑fast boiling, while the included cast iron griddle adds another cooking surface for searing and toasting. The gas hob’s cast iron supports underline its serious cooking credentials.
Beyond raw performance, the Richmond Deluxe is rich in convenience features: Steam & Infuse to introduce moisture and flavour, an AirFry function and tray for crisp, low‑oil cooking, slow cook and keep‑warm modes, defrost and pizza functions, plus child lock and telescopic runners for safety and ease. While it lacks advanced smart connectivity, for most home cooks the blend of traditional controls and thoughtful cooking aids will feel well judged.
This Stoves Richmond Deluxe clearly targets the premium end of the dual fuel range cooker market, and its price reflects that. You are paying more than for a basic 90cm range, but the specification goes notably further than entry‑level models: three ovens, a powerful wok burner, AirFry, Steam & Infuse, tall fanned oven, telescopic runners and a long list of specialist functions.
The triple A energy ratings across the ovens should help keep running costs sensible over time, particularly if you use the fan ovens efficiently for batch cooking. The three‑year manufacturer warranty is also better than the bare minimum one‑year cover often seen at lower price points, which adds some reassurance for a big‑ticket purchase.
Looking at owner feedback – a 4.9/5 score from a solid number of reviews – most buyers feel they are getting strong value given the performance and versatility on offer. If you are simply after the cheapest way to get a 90cm cooker, this will not be it. But if you want a feature‑rich, attractive range that can genuinely replace multiple separate appliances, the price is justified.
The Stoves Richmond Deluxe 90cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker is a highly capable, feature‑packed range that will more than satisfy serious home cooks. Its combination of three ovens, a robust five‑burner gas hob and thoughtful extras like PowerWok, AirFry and Steam & Infuse make it a true workhorse for busy family kitchens and keen entertainers alike.
It is not the cheapest option, and the lack of self‑cleaning liners and flame failure safety will be minor drawbacks for some. However, the strong user ratings, generous capacity and impressive feature set all suggest a cooker that performs at a consistently high level and is enjoyable to use day in, day out.
If your budget stretches to it and you will make use of the extra space and functions, the Richmond Deluxe 90cm is an excellent choice that should serve you well for years. If you cook infrequently or are more constrained on price, a simpler dual fuel range without the advanced features may be a better fit.
