Fuel types
Not quite this much room? A 90cm range cooker still gives you a generous hob, and our cookers fit a standard 50cm or 60cm space.
Which width suits you?
| Width | Suits | Worth checking |
| 100cm | The next step up from 90cm, usually with a pair of ovens side by side. | Whether it adds a third small oven or a separate grill. |
| 110cm | Regular entertaining, with more hob space and larger ovens. | Extraction that covers the full hob width. |
| 120cm and over | Big kitchens and keen cooks who use every burner. | The weight, and whether it can be carried into the room. |
Making the choice
How the ovens are arranged
On most ranges this wide you'll find two ovens next to each other. Typically one is a multifunction fan oven and the other a simpler oven, ideal for a second dish or for holding food at temperature. Some models have three cavities, and some give the grill its own compartment so grilling doesn't tie up an oven. The product page lists the size and functions of each.
The hob
Expect five or more burners or zones. On a dual fuel range, look for a strong wok burner and a gentle simmer burner. On an induction range, check whether zones can be bridged to take a griddle or fish kettle.
Gas or induction?
A dual fuel range suits anyone who prefers cooking over a flame, and it needs a gas supply as well as electricity. An induction range needs no gas, but it does need a high-power electrical circuit, and that matters more when there are several ovens too.
Keeping it clean
Catalytic liners, which absorb fat as you cook, are the usual choice on big ranges, and some models also offer a steam-clean programme. More ovens means more to clean, so see how simply the shelves, liners and inner door glass can be removed.
Colour and style
A range this size defines the look of the kitchen. As well as stainless steel, black and white, there are creams, deep blues and bright reds, oranges and yellows. Knobs, handles and trims vary from series to series, so compare the photos closely.
Before you order
- Measure carefully. Check the width, depth and worktop height of the space, plus the side gaps the installation instructions ask for. Include knobs and handrails in the depth.
- Walk the route in. Large ranges are heavy and bulky. Check every doorway, staircase and corner between the front door and the kitchen.
- Check the floor. It needs to be solid and level.
- Arrange the supplies. A qualified electrician will need to wire a large range into its own cooker circuit. On dual fuel models, the gas connection is a job for a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Plan extraction. Choose a hood no narrower than the hob. Our wall mounted cooker hoods include wide chimney designs.
The brands we sell
Our large range cookers come from Rangemaster. Filter by brand to compare their series and colours.
Buying a large range cooker from KDH Electrical
Every range comes with the full UK manufacturer's guarantee, and delivery is free on orders over £600, normally within 3–7 working days. Within our installation area we can install an electric range and take your old cooker for recycling, with both priced in the basket. We don't connect gas, so a dual fuel range needs a Gas Safe registered engineer, though we can still recycle the cooker it replaces.
Our price match means we'll do our best to match a lower price from another UK retailer. To talk through sizes or access, call 01622 541312, or visit our showroom in Rochester; please phone first to check what's on display.
