  • Can report now. We got this one because my folks got the same one 18 months ago, they bought theirs to replace a rangemaster that had finally died after 25 years of service Spare parts were still available for the old one when it died but it had become uneconomical to repair (it was going to cost more in parts and labour than a new unit).

    My folks have the slow cooker one ours has a proving drawer but other than that they are identical. I have 2 very minor criticisms:

    1. The door mounted roasting tray holder is shit as it doesn't hold a full size roasting tin so it's in the bin already.
    2. The ovens can be a little aggressive, especially if you put a roasting tin Infront of the fan when using the fan forced oven (the fan assisted convection oven is better though).

    If you are looking to buy any kind of range cooker I would highly recommend range cooker showroom in Pinner they are a small family run business, they deal directly with Rangemaster (as well as some of the more glam manufacturers like LaCanche) and units are manufactured to order, which isn't normally a problem. Unfortunately covid and our lovely, shiny and in no way whatsoever crippling blue passports mean the lead time is currently 5 months. When our old oven broke the lead time was 3 months; when we explained our situation to them they offered us a variety of ex display models with a full manufacturer guarentee, this may have caused more problems as it meant that my wife dithered for ~ a month before deciding that the spec wasn't right (even though some of the units had a very good discount) so we had to wait.
