Creda vs Rangemaster Cookers

Creda and Rangemaster both make cookers that can anchor a family kitchen. Creda's Creda C100RCDFTBL dual fuel range cooker costs £1,199 and its Creda C80BISMFTCBL 80-litre built-in oven costs £329. Rangemaster offers the Rangemaster Professional Plus 60 PROPL60ECBLC with a ceramic hob at £829, the Rangemaster Classic CLA60ECCR/C in cream at £879, and the Rangemaster Classic 60 CLA60EICRC and Rangemaster Professional + PROPL60EIBL/C induction models at £935 each. Size is the first thing to check, because Creda's 100cm range and Rangemaster's 60cm cookers suit very different kitchens.

Creda's range cooker is the dual fuel option, pairing a gas hob with electric ovens, and it adds a True Fan Oven and a high-power wok burner. Rangemaster's 60cm cookers are fully electric, with two cavities, a main multifunctional oven and a variable grill that offers low and high settings. The hobs are ceramic or induction with four zones, and several models have catalytic liners. Rangemaster's cavities total 39 and 69 litres, while Creda's built-in oven offers 80 litres in a single cavity.

Creda suits large families and keen cooks who have a gas connection and room for a 100cm range. Rangemaster suits buyers who want a 60cm cooker with a hob and oven in one unit and a classic look, with ceramic or induction cooking to choose from. The 60cm Rangemaster models fit a standard space, which suits most existing kitchens, while Creda's 100cm range needs a much wider wall. Rangemaster's induction models suit buyers who already own induction pans, while the cheapest ceramic option is £829.

Bottom line: choose Creda if you want dual fuel cooking on a 100cm range or a large 80-litre built-in oven and have a gas connection. Choose Rangemaster if you want a 60cm cooker with a choice of ceramic or induction hob and a classic design.
