Blomberg vs Rangemaster Cookers

Blomberg and Rangemaster both make freestanding cookers, but Rangemaster brings its range cooker heritage to the 60cm format. Blomberg's listings include the ROEN9202DX at £329.99, the GGS9151W 50cm gas single oven cooker at £440 and the GGRN655W 60cm gas cooker at £539.99. Rangemaster offers the Professional Plus 60 PROPL60ECBLC electric cooker with ceramic hob at £829, the Classic CLA60ECCR/C ceramic hob cooker in cream at £879 and the Classic 60 CLA60EICRC with induction hob at £935.

Rangemaster's 60cm cookers offer range-style looks and build quality in a standard width. The Classic models feature traditional styling and a cream finish that suits country kitchens, while the Professional Plus has a more contemporary, professional look. The CLA60EICRC's induction hob heats pans directly for fast, precise and efficient cooking. Rangemaster cookers typically offer two ovens and a grill. Blomberg's gas cookers provide instant flame control at much lower prices, and gas usually costs less per unit of energy than electricity.

The decision depends on budget and style. Buyers who want a range cooker look and solid build but only have a 60cm space will appreciate Rangemaster, with the induction model ideal for speed and efficiency. Buyers with a gas supply who simply need a capable cooker at a sensible price will find Blomberg's GGRN655W good value at around £300 less than Rangemaster's cheapest model.

Bottom line: choose Rangemaster if you want range-cooker styling in a 60cm width, with the Classic 60 CLA60EICRC induction at £935 or the Professional Plus at £829. Opt for Blomberg if you want an affordable gas cooker, with the GGRN655W 60cm at £539.99 or the GGS9151W at £440.
