Rangemaster vs Stoves Cookers

Rangemaster and Stoves both make cookers for the traditional kitchen, but their 60cm options differ in hob type and price. Rangemaster's 60cm models include the Professional Plus 60 PROPL60ECBLC with a ceramic hob at £829, the Classic CLA60ECCR/C in cream at £879, and the Classic 60 CLA60EICRC and Professional + PROPL60EIBL/C induction models, both at £935. Stoves' 60cm Richmond Deluxe 60DF dual fuel cookers cost £899 for the DXMRARICH60DFBLK, £949 for the DXMRARICH60DFANT and £1,049 for the DXMRARICH60DFCRM. The 90cm Richmond 90Ei TCH is priced at £2,299.

Rangemaster's models use two cavities, each with a main multifunctional oven, a variable grill with low and high heat settings, and special grease-absorbing liners that simplify cleaning. The hob choice between ceramic and induction gives buyers a clear decision to make. Stoves relies on its own technology: Zeus Bluetooth for remote monitoring and control, ProFlex cavity splitting, and temperature control accurate to ±1°C, backed by a 10-year parts guarantee and a rating of A+ for energy use.

Rangemaster suits buyers who want a stylish 60cm cooker with a choice of induction or ceramic hob and a straightforward oven layout. Stoves suits cooks who want dual fuel cooking with gas burners and electric ovens, and who will use the cavity splitting and smart features. Dual fuel models need a Gas Safe registered engineer, so the installation cost should be included in the budget. The cheapest Stoves 60cm model at £899 is £70 more than the Professional Plus 60 at £829.

Bottom line: choose Rangemaster if you want a 60cm cooker with a ceramic or induction hob from £829, choose Stoves if you want dual fuel cooking with Bluetooth control and cavity splitting from £899.
