Rangemaster cooker advice

[Dendycat]

We’ve got one being fitted as part of our new kitchen later this month. We’ve gone for an induction top and the 1100 cm version. Hope it lasts us a long time!

Mine's very similar and slate grey. I ordered blind as couldn't find it anywhere else.

It was fitted nearly 3 years ago, no issues whatsoever.

Mine came from AO, although John Lewis did stock it online at the time. It's the best oven I've ever had.

We are getting a Rangemaster when we get our kitchen extension and new kitchen later this year.

I’ve got the Rangemaster Platingum duel fuel in stainless steel, had it around 6 years and it’s still like new. A circut board blew in the first week and Rangemaster sent someone out the next working day, it was a 2 minute fix.

I normally use the tall oven every day and it heats evenly. The large oven has a rack attached to the door with a roasting tray but I’ve only used that a few times. I usually take it off as I find it difficult to get the tray off it. I don’t like the electric grill as it’s so slow and next time I’d pay the extra for the gas one. The hob is still like new, the only burner I have difficulty getting low enough is the large one (wok?) but is the one I use most as it has its own section so I don’t have to clean the whole thing.

I love the colour. We noticed the ' hot plate' that goes over the hob. Do you use it? Hubby thought it'd be handy to have.

I loved my Rangemaster, had no problems with it over the 17 years , the slim oven is the best part

Thank you

All of which could no doubt be repaired, but I decided it was time to treat ourselves to a new one. I had no hesitation in ordering a new Rangemaster.

To get such a long time with faults only developing the last year or so is fantastic. Our current one is about 4 years old ( maybe less) and we really gate it. It's not been great quality and a few things wrong/broken already.

That's great customer service. I'd it easy enough to remove the door tray? If we remove it, is there still enough shelves in the oven?
Thank you

Thank you so much to everyone who has replied. It seems they are pretty hard-wearing and worth the money. We've found a local(ish) independent retailer who only stocks range cookers so we'll hopefully get up there before I'm back to work and see if they have it in stock.

Thanks again.

We use it a lot, especially good for burgers for our DGC. My favourite thing to do on it is slices of halloumi cheese. Only time it's been put away is at Christmas when I need all 5 burners for vegetables.
