Best Range Cooker 2021 – Buyer’s Guide

Buying a cooking appliance is a major kitchen investment, but most people find that they get more value out of their range cookers than they ever did out of their normal size freestanding cookers.

Within a relatively compact kitchen space, ranges offer loads of versatile cooking space. Because they can have up to seven hob burners and four or five ovens/grills, they are perfect for large families or keen home cooks.

Our team of experts have tested and reviewed over 60 models, listing the good and bad, in order to help you with your pre-purchase research. Here’s what our reviewers thought:

Best Induction Range Cooker

Induction ceramic cooktops use the latest induction technology in order to heat up pans directly, minimising heat wastage. These hobs look very smart and are becoming increasingly popular and many range-cookers are now coming out with induction hobs instead of the traditional gas ones.

Arguably, they don’t give you the traditional range look though. But in terms of ease of use, they completely trump the other options.

Rangemaster Professional Deluxe PDL110EISL/C 110cm Electric

This electric range cooker with induction hob from Rangemaster is the perfect choice for a household that needs to cook more than one dish simultaneously or like to have guests over.

With 2 large oven cavities, one an electric fan oven and the other multifunctional, 5 burners, a separate grill and even a slow cook oven at the bottom right of the cooker, this Rangemaster creates a cooking experience like no other.

We love the rack attached to the oven door, making cooking a joint of meat hassle free and much safer to remove from the oven, but our favourite feature has to be the pan detection on the induction hob. The top even concentrates the heat onto the base of your pans so no energy is wasted, and when turned off after cooking, the residual heat indicator warns you that the surface is still hot.

Stoves STERLING S900Ei

Manufactured in the UK, this is a fully electric range with glass induction hob. In our opinion, that makes it a standout already.

This lovely electric range is energy efficient and compact. The glass induction hob has five heating zones and the oven comes with easy glide telescopic shelves (which make them burns safe for any busy households). You’ll also avoid spilling anything or the dish tipping out.

The grill is separate, so you don’t have to juggle between the two when cooking a big meal. In all, there are three cavities, so you don’t have to disturb the casserole in order to bake the after-dinner cupcakes.

This is a quality range cooker, which will be guaranteed to please any busy home cook. It is also really quiet, so will not disturb your meal time or socialising. The timer is programmable and therefore perfect for planning ahead for a busy party up to 24 hours in advance. Or handy to set if you usually get a bit too immersed in your boxsets to notice the time.

The manual covers all models so is a bit over-complicated. But because the actual build is clear and concise, operation is pretty self-explanatory.

  • Dimensions: 90 x 90 x 60cm
  • Capacity: Main 54L/Second 87L/Third 31L

Final Verdict

Stoves is a great and trusted kitchen brand and this nifty little induction range is a great example of how they do quality kitchen appliances with style. Simple, understated and efficient – this one is for the discerning kitchen appliance lover.

Leisure CK100D210K Cookmaster

This is a smart family induction range from Leisure which gives you the choice of two ovens and a grill cavity. It has a very generous oven capacity of over 120 litres, making it a great pick for ambitious cooks or busy homes.

The interior catalytic lining is self-cleaning, so you don’t have to worry about constantly getting your hands dirty if you encounter spillages or smoking food. Just allow it to cool and give it a wipe. With such a fancy oven, you’ll probably have a lot of fancy extras such as pans and baking trays. Thankfully, the fourth cavity is a handy storage solution.

The hob is really spacious, which is perfect if you have several large pans on the go for a big event and don’t want to prioritise certain things. As it is induction, it will heat the base of the pan rather than the surface of the hob. Cooking a large meal has never been more cost-efficient.

It also looks lovely when in place in a kitchen, adding warmth and character to the room. With an overall black colour and stainless steel accents, modernity and classic design combines beautifully.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 90 x 100 x 60cm
  • Capacity: Main 63L/Second 65L/Third 33L

Final Verdict

This kitchen range looks stunning and with its generous oven capacity, it’s a great choice for busy family kitchens. Range cooking without the range cooking price.

Rangemaster Elise ELS100EISL

This unusual Rangemaster is a real treat for the eyes and whether you have a country kitchen or want to emulate one, it will certainly add character.

Slightly bigger than some of the previous Rangemaster models at 100cm width, this solid multifunctional range is made out of stainless steel and covered in a choice of seven colours. Settle for stainless steel or black gloss to match your other appliances, or if you want to work with your other accents, China blue or cherry red are real standouts.

A 5 burner hob will keep all of your pans boiling and frying to perfection, and there are two ovens and a grill on top of this. Automatic pan detection will let you get going straight away, and residual heat detection will tell you if the hob is still hot without you getting too close.

When we say it is multifunctional it is no exaggeration, either. A fan setting will thoroughly roast your meat and bake your cottage pies. A defrost option will thaw your frozen meat when you forgot to leave it out. The grill will get you toasting and crisping in no time.

It isn’t the most fancy or futuristic, but this model demonstrates that this can be a great thing. It is safe to say it won’t let you down.

  • Dimensions: 90.5 x 90 x 60cm
  • Capacity: Main 69L/Second 81L/Third 35L

Rangemaster Classic Deluxe CDL90EIBL

Chunky, vintage yet just as easy to use as the modern-looking options out there. This is a solid Rangemaster induction range cooker.

We love this freestanding electric range for its classic silhouette, coupled with a contemporary induction cooktop. This is the sort of range we can imagine gracing farmhouses up and down the country, with kittens curled up in front in a basket or two. Time to put the apple crumble on we think.

If aesthetics are important to you then there is a very wide choice to pick from. You can select one of five colours, then further select either chrome or brass accents. These accents are also superior quality, feeling strong and sturdy without being cumbersome.

For anyone who is after a top-of-the-range cooker packed with features, all at around 90cm width, it is a solid choice that will match any kitchen.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 90.5 x 90 x 60cm

This Rangemaster induction model looks good and delivers on performance too. Bonus points for all the lovely shades, though we love the classic and easy to style black range that will look good anywhere.

Best Dual Fuel Range Cooker

Dual fuel offers the classic combination of modern electric ovens topped with heritage gas burners. They are very popular, cost-effective, and tend to be the favoured range design on the market right now.

Rangemaster Professional+ 110 Dual Fuel

Manufactured in Leamington Spa, this Rangemaster is from a completely different kitchen design era. Crisp, modern and contemporary with clean edges and a sleek stainless steel finish, this professional Rangemaster ushers cooking into the 21st century.

It is available in four colour choices – cream, cranberry, gloss black or stainless steel – so before you even get using it there is a big decision to make. Thankfully, they’re all fab colours so there will be one you fall in love with. Then you have the name. Professional. A lot to live up to, but it pulls it off.

Six gas burners give you powerful results which you remain in control of at all times. You also get a griddle and wok burner, so your cooking prowess will never face any limitations ever again. Two side-by-side ovens let you juggle all of the meal components at once, or if you’re cooking for one, you don’t have to fire up the entire appliance.

A separate grill lets you tackle your lunchtime cheese on toast with ease, and there is a storage drawer. Situated at the bottom right, you can either keep pans out of harms way or use it as a warming drawer for your plates and cutlery before serving.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 90.5/93 x 110 x 61cm
  • Capacities: Main 79L/Second 79L/Third 25L

Super roomy and high quality this is an awesome model, giving you the perfect mix of modernity with a touch of retro.

SMEG Victoria Dual Fuel

The Smeg Victoria’s are quirky 50s retro style cookers which would be a stylish addition to any family household.

This product comes in both cream and black colours which would suit kitchens of all styles. This large, multifunctional oven boasts both grill and half grill functions, alongside conventional cooking which provides a second oven and grill compartment – ideal for cooking large meals with components requiring differing temperatures.

There are six gas burner hobs, giving you plenty of space to cook almost anything you can imagine. With a hob featuring a staggering six gas burners, you have plenty of space to cook to your heart’s content. On top of this, the cooker features an ultra-rapid burner which is ideal for larger vessels.

A tangential cooling fan allows for external surfaces to remain cool whilst you cook or grill, which serves as an additional safety feature to prevent any nasty accidents. Moreover, this cooker also features an eco-friendly cleaning system which means you can simply spray water or washing up liquid around the appliance, then wipe the dirt away almost instantly.

On top of this, the oven has a side door opening system which gives you easy access to get closer to the oven, making it easy to check on your food. Telescopic shelves are a convenient addition, making it far easier and safer to slide out shelves to add or remove your food from the oven.

Beko KDVF100X Dual Fuel

If you’re after the look and efficiency of a range cooker, but without the £1000+ price tag which commonly comes with them, then this Beko model is ideal.

There are four cavities to choose from and a seven burner gas hob that is spacious enough for you to have several pans on the go. The main fan oven cooks everything evenly, so if you are baking a batch of biscuits and want them all even, you won’t be let down. The second cavity can act as an overflow oven but is perfectly capable of cooking food well on its own.

Nano-cleaning technology keeps it looking as good as new, and the enamel pan supports are also easy to remove and keep clean using just hot water and soap.

There is an automatic safety shut off feature which adds an element of protection if you are in a busy household, and you don’t have to worry if you aren’t on the mains gas as it is easy to convert to LPG.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 90 x 100 x 60cm
  • Capacity: Main 63L/Second 63L/Third 30L

Rangemaster Kitchener 90 Dual Fuel

The Rangemaster Kitchener 90 Dual Fuel is a multi-functional cooker with a large capacity so you can cook different meals all at once.

With a double oven, five gas burner hobs, a large wok burner and separate grills, these dual fuel cookers are practical for those with large families or who love to cook. This spacious design makes cooking enjoyable and gives you variety with meals.

The Rangemaster Kitchener 90 Dual Fuel is fitted with a flame supervision device or FDS, ensuring safety at all times. This means that no gas will enter the oven when the appliance is switched off, preventing gas leaks and fires. The separate grill offers the chance to cook a wide array of different meals and gives more versatility in your cooking.

This is a spacious cooker comprising of two separate ovens. The main oven is 69 litres while the second oven is 66 litres. Both ovens feature fan assisted cooking ensuring even and fast cooking.

Britannia Delphi 90 RC9TGD Dual Fuel Cooker

The Britannia freestanding cooker has a lot to offer. Two generous ovens, 6-burner gas hob with wok burner and an integrated grill make it one of the best high-end options available.

We love the colour choices with this model. Black, cream, red and stainless steel are all classic. Yet, they give you the option of adding something a bit different to your kitchen. Under a deceptively simple exterior is a high-powered kitchen appliance that offers speed, flexibility and all the mod cons.

Britannia products are known for their higher price tags, and this one is no exception. It is an appliance purchase for the dedicated and committed cook. However, it could probably also turn the most awful cooks into kitchen superstars, too.

We especially applaud the oven functions this model comes with, including a pizza function. With a combined oven capacity of 80 L, this is perfect for people who love to prepare good roast. It would be perfectly cooked and timed to perfection. It is just a shame there aren’t more oven cavities, as that’s what people traditionally expect from cooking on a range.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 87 x 89.5 x 60cm
  • Capacity: Main 52L/Second 28L
  • Fuel Type: Electric oven, Gas hob
  • Energy Rating: A
  • Other Features: Countdown timer, Removable roof trays

  • On the pricey side, there are cheaper options on the market

Final Verdict

This freestanding model looks smart and has loads of great functions but it’s also at the top end of the market, not making it a kitchen appliance choice for everyone.

Rangemaster Professional Deluxe 110 Dual Fuel

The Rangemaster dual fuel in Cranberry is by far our best professional option, for those who either cook on a large scale or need that little bit of extra quality in their cooking.

The main oven is a multifunction oven with seven different cooking functions (we particularly love fanned grilling, browning element and defrost). The secondary oven is a conventional fan oven

This cranberry shade is absolutely divine – but it’s not all skin-deep with this model. Two 69 litre ovens, five gas burners and two ceramic hobs make this a hard-working kitchen appliance which will do most of the effort for you.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 90.5/93 x 110 x 61cm

This is an awesome cooker from Rangemaster who dominate the market thanks to their quality designs and gorgeous colours.

Flavel Milano 100 MLN10FRK Dual Fuel

Wow. This 90cm range cooker really is a steal! For a budget price, you still get all the freestanding features you’d expect. You’ll notice the difference in quality mainly in the materials selected (like using enamel instead of cast iron), but overall this choice offers a fantastic kitchen appliance for a brilliant price. And the design isn’t too shabby either!

There are seven gas burners and a wok burner with flame supervision device. Both ovens rate A for energy efficiency and offer double glazed windows.

It is on our list because it is one of the best budget picks around – perfect if you want to grab a bargain but still need quality and reliability.

Cheap dual fuel option that won’t be beaten on price.

Leisure Cuisinemaster CS100F520X Dual Fuel

Thanks to one fan oven and two conventional ovens, this Leisure range is incredibly generous in terms of space for anyone who finds themselves often cramming loads of trays into their oven for dinnertime.

In total, there is 160L of space for you to fit your casseroles, cakes and chips. Preparing  Sunday roast has never been so stress-free. There is also a separate grill, so if you have bacon, egg and chips for dinner, you don’t have to worry about keeping something warm.

There are also five gas burners which are roomy enough to all be occupied at the same time. If you’re an adventurous cook, the wok burner and separate convection griddle area will be very welcome. There is a flame safety precaution in place, so if the flame goes out the gas supply will cut, and you won’t have a dangerous environment or accidental ignition.

An interior light will help you see the progress, and catalytic liners within the ovens will assist you when it comes to the cleaning. Unfortunately, it is open door grilling, but as seeing you have a pretty full choice of cooking spaces, we’d say you can work around this if you wish.

Because there are four chambers, they are a little narrow, so you may have to purchase a new set of baking trays if your current oven is full width. Be aware that they all cook at different speeds too, so get to grips with it before you get too adventurous.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 90 x 100 x 60cm
  • Capacity: Main 63L/Second 65L/Third 63L

  • Because so much is packed in, things can feel a little tight

Final Verdict

Our downsides are a little picky, so overall we would say this is an incredibly versatile cooker which, for the price, offers the user plenty of options and space

Leisure Cookmaster CK90G232K 90cm Gas

A beautiful, sleek Leisure cooker that is both durable and easy to use. This is a real great budget buy, giving you undeniable gas hob quality for a cheaper price.

Featured is a 67 litre main gas oven and a 79 litre tall electric oven, which is the perfect solution who loves the possibility of both and can’t decide. All you need to do to clean it is wait for it to cool down then wipe. The oven liners burn off the food over 200 degrees, so all that is left behind is ash deposits.

The only (small) downsides are the smaller than average mains gas oven, and the gas grill that just doesn’t have the power of some of its contemporaries. Despite these minute issues, it’s still a great kitchen appliance possibility, and the large electric oven should make up for the smaller one. After all, unless you have a huge household, you won’t need over 67L to make the dinner.

Five gas burners give good accuracy and fast heat, with a wok burner to accommodate your curved stir frying pan. Cast iron supports will keep them all in place. All in all, if you’re after a 90cm wide oven which is deceptively generous in capacity, look no further.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 90 x 90 x 60cm

Best Electric Range Cooker

Electric options combine heritage range design with the latest multi-function oven technology. These options often have a ceramic cooktop and one or two electric ovens – one being multi-function, the other conventional or fan-assisted. Many people prefer electric ovens as they are easier to control than gas, and can often give more consistent results.

Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 110 Electric

If you are after a range which looks the vintage and classic part, this is a great pick which still offers modernism.

This beautiful cooker from Rangemaster offers a wonderfully retro and beautiful cooker design, paired with modern oven features. Plenty of functions will see you cooking everything, from basic pasta bakes to more creative dishes and sweet bakes.

Choose from a fan or conventional option depending on what you’re baking, and you can thaw out the meat you forgot to bring out and defrost or that meal prep option which you keep in the freezer for those ‘late home from work’ nights.

There is a six zone electric ceramic hob, which not only looks clean and sleek but also gives you quick heating times and a secure base for all your pots and pans. Both ovens feature 69L capacity, so you could make a roast dinner for the entire street to enjoy and still not have to juggle it all!

The gloss black design makes this range the perfect addition to any family home, as it isn’t going to look out of place. It may be above a lot of budgets in terms of price, but if you’re willing to spend this much on an appliance which won’t only give you reliable results in the short-term but will become a fabulous investment in the long term, you can’t go wrong with it.

Leisure Cuisinemaster CS100C510K 100cm Electric

Classic electric range cooker from Leisure – top value for money and a lovely slightly modern twist on the usual design, if you don’t feel like a retro or dated looking model will fit in your kitchen.

This Leisure electric range cooker is a great kitchen buy. Low on price, high on quality, this is a range cooker that will keep on pleasing with its even bake and stylish exterior.

Perfect for those who are put off by the idea that a range cooker has to be gas. The ceramic hob is nice and easy to control with the clear dials, and you can choose from four cavities. A lot of other models will have four, but one is a sneaky storage drawer or dedicated grill. With this model, the top right cavity is actually a dedicated slow cooker – perfect for those roasts and stews.

Leisure Cookmaster CK90C230S

With two fan ovens and a spacious ceramic hob, this fully electric range cooker is a great option for any households wanting the most up to date appliances money can buy, while sticking to a budget. Yet, you can still keep the efficiency of an Aga.

It comes with the luxury of three compartments just like most ranges, but the safety aspect of hot hob indicators and a catalytic liner in the main oven to oxidise dirt and reduce the build-up of grease.

There is a timer to help you keep on top of all your cooking and baking without having to keep an eye on the clock. The dials are easy to turn, and the settings are all clearly marked, taking the guesswork out of the equation.

Even though you can’t see inside the oven without opening the door, there is an interior light so you can check on the contents without pulling them out. The plastic knobs aren’t at the quality and strength that we’d hope for with a product of this quality, but as you’re grabbing a range oven for under £1000, we can live with it.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 90 x 90 x 60cm

We like

  • 2 shelves in main oven, 4 in second

Final Verdict

You want a modern-looking kitchen but dread letting go of your current old-style Aga - this is a happy-medium.

Best Gas Range Cooker

Gas versions are seen as the classic option – they have gas burners (hobs) as well as gas ovens. Gas ovens can be temperamental and some people don’t like them because of their temperature fluctuations. Others find that cooking with gas ovens keeps food more moist and tasty.

Generally, gas hobs are seen as easy to use and safe; they are especially needed for they type of fast cooking favoured in Asian cuisine. (Incidentally, gas models often have a wok burner).

Belling Kensington 100G 100cm Gas

Mealtime can involve a lot of multitasking. If you find yourself running around and unable to fit everything in, then this Belling will handle every dish perfectly.

There are seven gas burners, and a 4kW wok burner for those bigger pans. These all allow you to cook foods which require different attention at the same time, so you can boil your frozen peas and fry off the steak while keeping the homemade gravy warm.

Two ovens provide 163L of space, and everything is easily controlled thanks to the easy rotation dials. You also get an LED timer if you need a bit of help with that side of things, and a storage drawer will keep all of your utensils out of eyesight until you need them.

All of the pan supports are nice and sturdy, and lighting gives you a good view if you want to check on the process. For the price, it is all we expect of Belling and more. Well worth a go.

To say the only bad think we have to say is about the lighting and not the actual range, it is by far one of the best gas range cookers out there

Rangemaster Classic 110cm Gas

This British Rangemaster is a testament to classic kitchen design and it delivers on so many levels. Stylish, powerful and practical, this model includes all the lovely little features you would expect from a quality kitchen appliance.

First up is the big six burner hob which will fit all your pots and pans comfortably, and there’s also a griddle and wok burner if you’d like to extend your culinary delights. Both ovens are 81L, which quite frankly is more than we think most will ever need but still fabulous to have to hand. If you’ve ever struggled fitting the turkey in the oven at Christmas, why not prepare ahead and invest in this oven?

The main oven is programmable. Simply put, you can time it to start up at an exact time. Say you’re entertaining and want to wow your guests without even entering the kitchen. Or maybe you’re the type to plan ahead and get dinner ready for when you get home from work.

Checking on the food is easy too thanks to the porthole window glass. You also have a Handyrack which slots onto the door and pivots out when you open it, so you can check on roasts with no effort at all. A timer will alert you to when the food is done without risking overdoing it.

A drawer gives you space to store all your cutlery, and the catalytic oven liners make cleaning easy. We loved how easy it was to use, and would welcome it into our own kitchens with open arms.

It has the retro country kitchen styling we all know and love, with two separate ovens and a four burner hob. You get a main fan oven which has a capacity of 75L, and will help airflow and even cooking while giving you energy-efficient results (fan ovens can run at lower temperatures).

A great mini electric stove that has been designed and manufactured in the UK. It has everything you could want from a range cooker, without taking up every available inch of space in your kitchen.

It should slot into the tightest of spaces, at just 55cm wide. Yet, a combined capacity of 108L will never leave you short on room. The 4-zone ceramic hob gives you the space you need for boiling all the vegetables for your Sunday roast.

There’s also an electric fan in the main oven, and an electric grill with conventional electric oven cooking in the top compartment. A perfect balance.

As it is electric, the vast majority of homes will be able to fit it without any complicated piping or switching to gas. We loved the lid which fits comfortably over the hob when it isn’t in use. Twin side lights are in place for optimum illumination inside, so you can keep a watch over the process.

Stoves 600G 60cm Double Gas Sterling Mini Cooker

Great for those who love cooking with gas (and who doesn’t love the speed and authenticity of gas cooking?) It doesn’t just stop at the hob though, as the cooking chambers are also fueled this way.

Hidden beneath its sleek glass top lies the four gas burners. Push button ignition makes them simple to get going, and all is Flame Supervision Device compliant. When the lid is closed, it isn’t possible to turn the gas on. Fab for busy, safety-conscious homes.

The first cavity is 69L and second 39L, which is great for large and small meals alike, and both can be used at the same time.
