90cm electric range cookers put two or three ovens, a grill and a 5-zone hob into one freestanding unit, all running on electricity so there's no gas supply to worry about. They suit busy families, keen bakers and anyone who cooks Sunday lunch for a crowd but has a kitchen gap of around 90cm to fill.
Go for a ceramic hob range cooker to keep the cost down or step up to induction for speed and an easy wipe clean. Already set on induction? Our 90cm induction range cookers narrow the choice straight down.
A standard freestanding cooker is 60cm wide. Add another 30cm and you've got room for a much bigger hob and a second (sometimes third) oven, which is exactly what a 90cm range cooker gives you. It's the most popular size of range in the UK because it slots into an ordinary kitchen without needing a full redesign.
Every model in this collection is an all-electric cooker. The ovens and grill run on electricity and the hob is either ceramic or induction. If you'd rather cook on flames, a dual fuel range cooker pairs a gas hob with electric ovens instead.
Most 90cm electric range cookers measure 896mm to 900mm wide, 600mm deep and about 900mm tall. Adjustable feet let you line the hob up with your worktop. Total oven capacity usually sits somewhere around 170 to 175 litres, which is roughly twice what you'd get from a single 60cm cooker.
Here's how the models in our range stack up on hob type, oven layout and capacity. Prices move every day with the retailer, so we've given rough bands rather than exact figures.

Every one of them is A rated for energy. So the real choices come down to the hob type, how many ovens you want and how much you're happy to spend.
The hob type is the biggest decision you'll make. It shapes the price more than anything else. On the Belling models the induction version costs a few hundred pounds more than the ceramic one.
A ceramic hob heats an element under the glass, which then warms the pan. It works with any flat-bottomed cookware you already own, so there's nothing extra to buy. The trade-off is cooking speed. Ceramic zones take longer to heat up and stay hot for a while after you switch off, although residual heat lights warn you when a zone is still warm.
If slow stews are your thing and you're watching the budget, a ceramic range cooker makes plenty of sense. The Farmhouse 90E is the best value way into a 90cm range cooker with two full ovens.
An induction hob heats the pan itself through a magnetic field, so the glass stays much cooler. Water boils in a fraction of the time and the heat drops the moment you turn a zone down, which feels a lot like a gas flame. Spills don't bake on either, so a wipe is usually all it takes to clean.
Induction does need magnetic cookware. Hold a fridge magnet to the base of each saucepan and if it sticks firmly, it'll work. Cast iron and most stainless steel are fine, but plain aluminium, copper and glass won't heat at all.
A 5-zone induction hob on a 90cm range often lets you join two zones into one long area for a griddle or fish kettle. Belling calls this Link+ and Stoves calls it a bridge zone. Browse every induction range cooker we stock if you want to compare other widths too.
Counting cavities is the easiest way to tell 90cm models apart. Check the number of ovens first, then the capacity of each cavity in litres. Manufacturers often quote a gross figure and a smaller usable one, so compare like with like.
A single oven range is rare at this width. Nearly every 90cm range cooker is at least a double oven design. You'll usually get a tall oven on one side for big roasts and a secondary oven on the other for everyday cooking. That secondary oven heats up faster, which makes it the one you'll reach for on a weeknight.
Belling's Farmhouse and Cookcentre ranges have two fan ovens and a grill. You can roast a joint in the main oven and bake a crumble in the second at a different temperature, then grill the toppings without either oven losing heat. For most families that's plenty. It keeps the price lower too.
Both Belling ranges also add an air fry setting with its own tray, so you can crisp chips and wings in the oven using little or no oil.
Step up to three ovens if you regularly cook for six or more, or you love batch baking. The Stoves Richmond 90Ei splits its 174 litres across a multifunction main oven with 13 settings, a tall Titan fan oven and a conventional oven with the grill. Stoves includes an AirFry setting here as well.
The Leisure Cuisinemaster CS90D530X does something similar for a lot less money. It has a 63 litre main fan oven, a 79 litre tall fan oven and a third oven with the grill, all with catalytic liners.
Fan cooking spreads heat evenly, so you can fill every shelf and expect the same result top to bottom. A conventional oven heats from the top and bottom elements, giving you a hotter top shelf that's great for bread, pastry and cakes that need a crisp crust. A multifunction main oven lets you switch between the two and add settings like base heat, defrost or a pizza mode.
A range cooker is a big, heavy appliance. A little checking before you order saves a lot of hassle on delivery day.
Write down the dimensions of your space first. Measure the width of your gap at worktop height and again at the floor, because walls are rarely perfectly straight. Most 90cm models are 896mm to 900mm wide, so a 900mm gap is the minimum. The installation manual lists any space needed at the sides and above the hob. It's worth reading before you buy.
Check the other dimensions too. Range cookers usually come with adjustable feet so the hob sits flush with your worktop. Then measure doorways and hallways on the route to the kitchen, as these units are heavy and need two people to carry.
An electric range cooker can't plug into a normal socket. It needs its own dedicated cooker circuit from the consumer unit and a cooker switch on the wall. A 90cm induction range with every zone and oven running draws a lot of power, so it may need a bigger circuit than the one your old cooker used.
The manufacturer's manual gives the exact rating. A qualified electrician should check your supply and make the connection. A new circuit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Electrical Safety First has plenty of plain-English advice on staying safe with kitchen appliances too.
A big hob makes a lot of steam, so pair your range with a 90cm cooker hood that covers its full width. Fit it at the height both manuals ask for (the hob and the hood each give a minimum). A chimney hood ducted outside clears steam and smells best, but a recirculating hood with carbon filters works where you can't vent through a wall.
Oven linings make a real difference to how much scrubbing you'll do. Enamel linings, used on the Belling and Stoves models, are smooth and tough and wipe down with a non-scratch cleaner. Catalytic liners, used by Leisure, soak up fat splashes and break them down whenever the oven runs hot. Some Smeg models go further with a pyrolytic main oven that heats to a very high temperature and turns grease to ash you can brush away.
Look at the controls as well. Most models here use rotary dials to control the ovens and touch control for the induction zones. An LED display and programmable timer switch an oven off when your dish is done. The timer doubles as a handy kitchen alarm too. Many induction hobs add a boost setting that gives one zone extra power for a few minutes, which is handy for a big pan of pasta. Some 90cm ranges add a storage drawer underneath, which is handy for baking trays and roasting tins. If storage matters to you, check the product photos for a storage drawer before you order.
Every model in this collection carries an A energy rating for its ovens. The energy rating covers each cavity, so a smaller oven used for an everyday dinner uses less energy than heating the big one. It's a good habit to get into with any double oven range cooker.
Induction is the most efficient way to cook on a hob, as Which?'s range cooker buying guide points out, because the heat goes straight into the pan. Fan settings also cook at a slightly lower temperature than conventional ones, so dropping the dial a little can trim your bills over a year.
Belling makes most of our 90cm electric range cookers. The Farmhouse has the classic range look with chrome rails and knobs. The Farmhouse 90E is one of the best known ceramic models in the UK. Find every model in the series in our Belling Farmhouse range cookers. The Belling Cookcentre takes the same ovens and dresses them in a sleeker, more modern style.
Stoves sits a step higher. The Richmond 90Ei adds a third oven, the 13-function multifunction main oven and touch control induction. Our Stoves range cookers collection has the full line-up in other widths too.
Leisure is a good choice if you want three ovens and induction on a tighter budget. Smeg, Rangemaster and Beko make 90cm electric models as well. A few Smeg cookers come in and out of stock with our retailer, so they won't always show in the grid above. For the rest of the Belling line-up, have a look at all our Belling range cookers.
A range cooker is the centrepiece of the kitchen, so the colour matters. Cream suits a country or shaker kitchen and pairs well with wooden worktops, so take a look at our cream range cookers if that's your style. Black hides marks well and looks smart in both modern and traditional rooms. You'll find more in our black range cookers.
Anthracite is a soft charcoal grey that's become a popular middle ground. Stainless steel gives a professional, chef-style look. Our stainless steel range cookers collect them all together.
If your kitchen has the space, a wider range gives you a bigger hob and larger ovens. Our 100cm electric range cookers are a modest step up. The 110cm electric range cookers are the biggest we stock, with room for a large family Christmas dinner and then some.
No, a 90cm electric range cooker needs a dedicated cooker circuit and a cooker switch, wired by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer's manual lists the circuit rating it needs.
Only if what you have now isn't magnetic. If a fridge magnet sticks firmly to the base, it will work on an induction hob. Most modern cookware sets are labelled as induction ready, which saves guessing.
If you cook for a family or entertain often, yes. You get two or three separate ovens, a bigger 5-zone hob and around double the oven space of a 60cm cooker, all in a gap only 30cm wider.
Belling and Stoves give a 3 year parts and labour warranty on the models here, usually once you register the cooker with them. Smeg gives 2 years. Always check the warranty details on the product page before you buy, as some brands offer an extended warranty when you register online.
Choose an electric cooker if you don't have a gas supply in the kitchen or you want the easy cleaning of a flat hob. A dual fuel range cooker suits anyone who loves a gas flame, with electric ovens underneath for even baking. The gas side must be fitted by a Gas Safe registered engineer, so allow for that in your budget.
Allow a gap of at least 900mm wide and 600mm deep. Most models stand around 900mm tall on adjustable feet, so they line up with a standard worktop. Check the installation manual for any side clearance the appliance needs.
