I found the ovens were too small for some of my bakeware.

Find out how much mains gas will cost or would you go for LPG instead?

I updated to an induction hob and a slide and hide oven.

after forgetting to turn the gas off several times i went onto an induction hob and seperate double oven. I would never go back to gas. The hob is oh so easy to control and overall my bills have stayed the same.

I have a Rangemaster cooker, and it's the best one I've ever had. They are more expensive than most, but the quality is great. Mine has two ovens, one with fan and one without, with a seperate grill above the left-hand side one, four burners - one large, two medium and one small, plus a wok burner, with a keep warm section on the far right hand side. It has a built in timer, and an automatic cooking facility. It is easy to clean, and comes with a brochure of all the available spare parts that can be ordered if necessary.
The hob is gas, and the ovens are electric, so if we ever have a power cut I can still produce a meal!

The delivery service was superb, arriving at the time specified, and taking great care to ensure the cooker was perfect before the delivery men left. Rangemaster is made by the Aga company, and the quality and service reflect that.  I saved up for mine, and I'm glad I waited and had what I wanted - well, an Aga would have been lovely, but I have to be realistic!

There are two Rangemasters, one Aga and the other is Leisure. The Aga one is the real deal.  I have one and I love it!!!!! I had a Smeg before that and it was total kerapp!  A nightmare. Don't buy one!

I have had my Rangemaster for years.  It gets used a lot!!!  I've got the Excel 110 in black. Two big ovens, one warming oven (you can keep stuff hot in it or cook things like rice pudding in it) Separate grill but there is another grill in the main oven, griddle, underneath the griddle is a double halogen hob, and then six burners, one of which is a wok burner.  Bakes beautifully

good luck with it.

Which one did you order?    Mine came really quick so no waiting for long! 

If you do get the ARM don't clean the front fascia with anything other than hot soapy water.  It says that on the blurb but some folks get busy with the powerful stuff and end up rubbing away the lettering on the front.  No danger of me overdoing the cleaning

Mine is the all gas crome fittings called kitchener 60 its regular size for not so large kitchens its black 2x ovens one small with grill and the normal one i just want to get me hands on the griddle , carnt do that on and electric hob .
rangemaster phoned yesterday and asked if we were happy with the delivery date which was 17 august i said yes but said i would be happier if earlier so moved it forward to the 3rd august smashing as hubby started taking off the the tiles and cracke me hob on the corner , well  muddle through

Wooohooo! I bet you can't wait. The griddle is good! Lots of smoke though so I hope you have a strong extract fan.  It does mark very easily and you can't clean it with harsh abrasives or wire wool etc, only nylon scourer and hot soapy water. Mine doesn't have a cover. I was thinking of getting a new one and just using that for show but they're too hear    I sound like Hyacinth Bouquet

Happens if you use DW40 to polish up the front of your stainless Rangemaster too...

The excellent thing is that you can buy replacement parts for many years.

Woulx you believe that you have to buy the gas pipe and fittings for our new cooker as if it didnt cost enough in the first place .

I had to buy them for my Stoves cooker, so presume it's common to pay the extra
