Best 100cm Range Cookers: Five Burners and Twin Ovens Compared

If you want the short answer: the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 100 is the best 100cm range cooker for most British kitchens, the Stoves Richmond Deluxe D1000DF gives you the most ovens for the money, and the Leisure Cookmaster CK100F232 is the sensible budget buy. A metre-wide range is one of the most popular sizes in the UK for good reason: it fits where a 110cm will not, yet still gives you two or three proper ovens and at least five burners.

This guide compares the models we would actually put in our own kitchens, with real oven capacities, hob layouts, honest drawbacks and the installation rules nobody mentions until the delivery van arrives.

How we chose these cookers

Every model here is a current, named product we verified on the manufacturer’s own UK site or a major UK retailer in June 2026. We compared oven counts and capacities litre by litre, hob layouts burner by burner, warranties, energy ratings and realistic street price brackets. We also read what real owners say on UK forums about long-term reliability and about life after switching from gas to induction. No paid placements, no copied press releases, and nothing we could not verify stays in.

The best 100cm range cookers in 2026

Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 100 (CDL100DFF), dual fuel

Best overall for most kitchens. This is the classic British range done properly. On the left sits a 79 litre multifunction oven with eight functions, including a Rapid-Response fast preheat, a Duo setting that pairs the fan with base heat, and a Delicate base-only mode for pastry. On the right is a tall 82 litre fan oven, one of the biggest single cavities at this width. Above them: a 2.3kW Flexi-Grill that glides out on telescopic runners, and a five-burner gas hob whose 3.5kW multi-ring burner takes the wok cradle supplied in the box. The Handyrack hangs your roasting tin on the oven door so you can baste without juggling shelves.

It measures 994mm wide and 608mm deep, and the colourways are where Rangemaster earns its keep in a country kitchen: Stone Blue with brass trim, Slate, classic Black and more.

Drawbacks: you are paying for the badge and the enamel. Expect a price around the £3,000 mark, more than double the Leisure below for, functionally, a similar oven count. And the tall right-hand oven means no separate storage drawer.

Stoves Richmond Deluxe D1000DF, dual fuel

Best for serious cooks who want the most ovens. Nothing else at 100cm matches the Richmond Deluxe’s four cavities: a 13-setting multifunction main oven with rapid preheat and a TrueTemp digital thermostat, an Equiflow fan oven, a conventional oven with grill, and a dedicated slow-cook oven, 183 litres in total. That slow-cook cavity is genuinely useful: brisket or a casserole ticking away all day without tying up your main oven.

The hob is a seven-burner gas layout with a 4kW PowerWok burner, and a cast-iron griddle and wok cradle come in the box. The variable-rate Maxi-Grill slides out on telescopic runners, the Maxi-Clock LED programmer is easy to read across the kitchen, the ovens are all A rated for energy, and it comes in Black, Classic Cream and Anthracite Grey. At around £2,000 it undercuts the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe by roughly a thousand pounds.

Drawbacks: four cavities means each individual oven is smaller than the Rangemaster’s twin giants, so a 10kg turkey is a tighter fit. The styling is handsome but a step less premium than Rangemaster’s enamel and trim.

Prefer induction? The Richmond Deluxe D1000Ei swaps the gas hob for a five-zone touch-control induction top with the same oven lineup.

Rangemaster Professional+ 100 Induction (PROP100EI)

Best induction 100cm. If you are off gas, or simply tired of cleaning pan supports, this is the strongest induction range at this width. You get two ovens plus a separate glide-out grill, a programmable main oven, Rangemaster’s Catch-rite doors to stop spills running down the front, a Nite-Lite clock and an A energy rating. Forum consensus matches our experience: induction is the easiest hob to live with day to day, faster to clean and quicker to boil, unless wok cooking over a live flame is non-negotiable for you.

Expect around £2,500, with the exact figure shifting by colour. If you want this body with a gas hob instead, Rangemaster’s Professional Deluxe 100 dual fuel covers that.

Drawbacks: induction needs its own beefy electrical supply (more on that below), your pans must be magnetic, and there is no flame for charring peppers or tossing a wok.

Belling Cookcentre 100DF, dual fuel

Best value mid-market buy. Belling and Stoves are both Glen Dimplex brands, so the Cookcentre gets the same easy-read Maxi-Clock programmer as the Richmond at a friendlier price, usually under £1,600. You get a seven-burner gas hob with a 4kW wok burner, a fanned main oven with an AirFry mode, a conventional second oven and a separate grill with a full-width grill pan (the handle detaches for storage), plus a three-year parts and labour warranty.

Drawbacks: two ovens rather than the Richmond’s four, plainer styling, and the second oven is conventional only. The induction version, the Cookcentre 100Ei with a five-zone hob, runs a few hundred pounds more.

Leisure Cookmaster CK100F232, dual fuel

Best budget 100cm. A little over £1,000 buys a seven-burner gas hob with a wok burner, a 58 litre fanned main oven with programmable timer, a 57 litre conventional second oven, a separate electric grill and a storage compartment. Cook-clean oven liners take care of most of the cleaning and you get a telescopic shelf as standard, which plenty of dearer cookers still skip. It measures 90cm high by 100cm wide by 60cm deep, and comes in Black, Silver or Cream.

Drawbacks: the standard guarantee is only one year (ten years on parts if you register), the ovens are noticeably smaller than the Rangemaster’s, and the finish feels built to a price. As a workhorse for a busy family kitchen, though, it is hard to argue with.

Smeg Victoria TR103P, dual fuel

The retro premium choice. Smeg’s 100cm Victoria gives you three cavities: a 36 litre grill, a 61 litre multifunction oven and a tall 84 litre oven, wrapped in that cream-and-chrome fifties styling nothing else here matches. It sits firmly in premium territory, north of the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe, so treat it as a style-led buy. If the look appeals but you want something cleaner-lined, Smeg’s Symphony SY103 is the contemporary sibling.

Drawbacks: you pay a clear premium for the design, and the brand’s UK service network is thinner than Rangemaster’s.

Dual fuel, induction or ceramic at 100cm?

Dual fuel (gas hob, electric ovens) remains the default at this width: visual flame control, wok burners, and electric fan ovens that bake evenly. Induction is the one to pick if your kitchen has no gas, you batch-cook and hate scrubbing pan supports, or you want the fastest boil times; owners who switch rarely go back. Ceramic hobs exist at 100cm but combine electric running costs with slow response, so we would skip them. If you are weighing a range against a heat-storage cooker, our Aga vs Rangemaster comparison and the Aga running costs breakdown cover that decision, and the range cooker running cost calculator will estimate your annual spend for any model here.

Installation: the bit the listings skip

Two rules matter before you order.

First, gas. Any gas work, including simply connecting a dual fuel range to an existing supply, must legally be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. DIY gas work is a criminal offence. The Gas Safe Register’s cooker and hob guide covers servicing, carbon monoxide risks and the warning signs of an unsafe cooker, such as a floppy yellow flame instead of a crisp blue one.

Second, electrics. A 100cm induction range typically needs its own dedicated high-amperage circuit, not a plug socket, so have an electrician confirm your consumer unit can take it before the cooker arrives. Even dual fuel models need a suitable electrical connection for the ovens.

Measure properly too: that 994mm-wide Rangemaster needs its specified ventilation gaps at the sides, and check the door swing clears any island or facing run of units.

Our verdict

Buy the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 100 if the budget stretches: the 79 and 82 litre twin ovens, the wok-ready five-burner hob and the colourways make it the complete country-kitchen range. Buy the Stoves Richmond Deluxe D1000DF if you cook a lot and want four cavities including a slow-cook oven for hundreds less. Buy the Leisure Cookmaster CK100F232 if you want seven burners and twin ovens for the least money that still feels safe to spend.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 100cm range cooker too big for a normal kitchen? No, it is one of the most popular range widths in the UK. It needs the manufacturer’s ventilation gaps at the sides and room for the oven doors to swing open, so measure against islands and facing cabinets, but it fits in far more kitchens than a 110cm.

How many ovens do you get in a 100cm range cooker? Typically two or three, plus a separate grill. The Stoves Richmond Deluxe D1000DF is the outlier with four cavities, including a dedicated slow-cook oven, totalling 183 litres.

Is dual fuel or induction better at 100cm? Induction is easier to live with: faster boiling, simpler cleaning, no pan supports. Dual fuel wins if you wok-cook or want flame control. The common owner pattern is that people who switch to induction rarely switch back.

Do I need a Gas Safe engineer to fit a dual fuel range cooker? Yes. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, all gas work, including connecting a cooker, must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Doing it yourself is illegal as well as dangerous.

Are Rangemasters worth the premium over Belling or Leisure? Owners on UK forums often report long service lives from Rangemasters, and you get bigger cavities, better finishes and features like the Handyrack. If the budget will not stretch, Belling and Leisure cover the fundamentals well for far less.

What electrical supply does a 100cm induction range need? A dedicated high-amperage circuit installed by a qualified electrician in most cases, not a standard plug. Check the specific model’s requirements against your consumer unit before ordering.
