Our Stoves range cookers bring the classic Richmond look to a modern kitchen, with an induction hob up top and three or four separate ovens below. If you cook for a busy family, love a Sunday roast or like to have the dinner and the pudding on the go at once, there's room for all of it.
Every model here is an electric Richmond in black, cream or anthracite, in widths of 90cm, 100cm or 110cm. Want to compare other makes? Have a look at our induction range cookers or the full line-up of Belling range cookers.
Stoves has been making cookers since 1920. Today it builds most of them at its factory in Prescot, Merseyside, alongside sister brands Belling, New World and Lec under Glen Dimplex Home Appliances. So you're buying from one of the few names still designing and making range cooking in the UK.
The Richmond is the heart of the range. It pairs a traditional look, with chunky chrome handles and a curved fascia, with the kind of kit you'd expect from a new built-in oven. Think a multifunction main oven with AirFry, a digital thermostat you can set to the exact degree and a steam cleaning setting that loosens grease for you.
Then there's the space. A 90cm model gives you three ovens with 174 litres of capacity between them. Step up to 100cm or 110cm and the Richmond has four ovens with up to 196 litres of cooking capacity. That's enough for a turkey in the main oven, a batch of rolls in the second oven and warm plates in the grill cavity.
Who suits one best? A range cooker earns its place in a kitchen that's the hub of the house.
Here's every electric Stoves Richmond we sell, grouped by model so you can see what changes as you go up in width. Specs come from Electrical Discount UK's listings and Stoves' own pages. Prices move daily, so we give a band rather than a fixed figure.

Every electric range cooker in the table carries an A energy rating for its ovens (the UK energy label rules explain how cooking appliances are graded). The biggest jumps are in the hob and the oven layout, not the efficiency, so pick by how you cook.
Stoves sells two families under the Richmond name. Both share the same classic styling and the same 90cm, 100cm and 110cm widths. The difference is in the detail.
The standard Stoves Richmond keeps things simple, with a touch control induction hob (TCH in the model name) and the core oven features. The Stoves Richmond Deluxe adds more colours and a choice of hob, either the rotary control RTY with five chunky dials or the ZLS with a zoneless induction surface. The Richmond Deluxe dual fuel models also get a seven burner gas hob on the wider sizes. Both come with useful accessories, such as a full width grill pan with a handle.
Not sure which suits you? If you like turning a knob without looking, a Richmond Deluxe RTY might feel more natural. If you use odd-shaped pans, such as a long fish kettle or a griddle, the zoneless Richmond Deluxe ZLS hob heats wherever you put the pan down. Stoves calls it FreedomFLEX. Everyone else will be very happy with the standard touch control Richmond, which costs less.
Measure the gap before you fall for a colour. A 90cm model is about 896mm wide, so it needs a gap of at least 900mm. Allow 1000mm for a 100cm model and 1100mm for a 110cm one. All of them are a standard 600mm deep and they're heavy (the 100cm models weigh close to 100kg), so plan on two people for delivery.
The Stoves Richmond 90cm suits a smaller kitchen or a chimney breast recess. You get three ovens, with the Titan tall fanned oven giving 81 litres of usable space for a big joint or three shelves of baking at the same temperature. A multifunction oven and a conventional oven with the Maxi-Grill make up the other two. Browse every model this size in our 90cm induction range cookers.
The Stoves Richmond 100cm is the most popular width and the one with the most choice. Most have a four oven layout.

The Stoves Richmond 110cm gives you the same four-oven layout with a wider hob, so big pans have more room between them. It's the one for open plan kitchens and keen hosts. See more in our 110cm induction range cookers.
The multifunction main oven is where most of the clever features live. It has 13 settings, including defrost, slow cook, keep warm, a pizza setting and AirFry. Equiflow technology keeps the heat moving evenly across the shelves, so a tray on the top runner cooks at the same pace as one at the bottom.
The second oven is a fanned oven too, which makes it handy for cakes and side dishes while the main oven is busy with the main course. Then the conventional oven gives you traditional top and bottom heat for pastry and bread.
A Maxi-Clock LED programmer sits on the fascia, so you can time your cooking and keep an eye on the clock while you work.
Every Richmond we sell has an induction hob rather than a gas one. Induction heats the pan itself through the glass, so it's quick to boil, easy to turn down and the surface around the pan stays far cooler than a ceramic hob. It's also simple to wipe clean, with no burners or pan supports to scrub.
Most models have a five zone induction hob, with boost for fast boiling and a bridge function on some that joins two zones for a griddle or fish kettle. Pan detection means a zone won't heat without a pan on it. Check that your pans work on induction (a magnet should stick firmly to the base) before you switch.
Prefer to cook with a flame? Stoves also makes the dual fuel range cooker, which pairs a gas hob with electric ovens and adds the 4kW PowerWok burner for fast stir fries. Those models come with a cast iron griddle that sits over the burners too. Have a look at our dual fuel range cookers if a gas hob suits you better. Bear in mind that a dual fuel range cooker needs a gas supply and a Gas Safe engineer to fit it.
Stoves gives its features their own names, which can make two listings hard to compare. Here's what each one means in your kitchen.
If you see two Richmond listings at different prices, it's usually the hob or the number of ovens that explains the gap, not these features.
Range cookers have a lot of oven to clean, so Stoves has made the job lighter. The ovens are lined with easy-clean enamel. Easy-clean enamel resists sticking. SteamCleanse does the soaking for you. Pour 200ml of water into the well at the bottom of the oven, choose the conventional setting at 90°C and leave it for 30 to 60 minutes. Once it's cool, most marks wipe off the enamel with a damp cloth. SteamCleanse works in the multifunction and conventional ovens.
The induction hob only needs a wipe with a soft cloth and hob cleaner. The telescopic sliders lift out when you want to give the shelves a proper wash.
The Richmond comes in three finishes here. Black looks sharp next to sleek handleless units. Cream suits a farmhouse or shaker kitchen and softens a room full of wood. Anthracite is a warm dark grey that sits well with stone worktops and brushed steel.
Shopping by colour? Our black range cookers and cream range cookers bring together every brand we sell in those finishes. Stoves' Deluxe line comes in extra colours too, so it's worth checking the Stoves range cooker collection if you want something bolder.
An electric range cooker won't run from a normal 13 amp plug. It needs its own cooker circuit, hardwired to a cooker switch. The work should be done by a registered electrician. You can find one through the Electrical Competent Person register, which lists electricians who can sign off their own work under the Building Regulations.
If you're swapping like for like and already have a cooker circuit, your electrician will check it can handle the new load. If you're moving from gas, budget for a new circuit from the consumer unit. Next, think about the space around it. Check the installation manual for the side and overhead clearance, choose a cooker hood that ideally matches the width of the hob and add a splashback to protect the wall behind.
Most of the Stoves Richmond models we list come with a 3-year parts and labour guarantee from Stoves, which you register after delivery. The older Richmond S1000Ei MK2 listings show a one year warranty, so check the details before you order if the longer warranty matters to you.
Electrical Discount UK handles delivery. These cookers are heavy, so ask about removal of your old cooker when you order. For independent test results across brands, Which? range cooker reviews are a useful second opinion before you buy.
Yes, most of them. Around 85% of Stoves cooking products come off the line in Prescot, near Liverpool.
Ei means an electric range cooker with an induction hob. DF stands for dual fuel, with a gas hob and electric ovens. After that, TCH means touch control, RTY means rotary dials and ZLS means the zoneless FreedomFLEX hob.
The 90cm Richmond has three ovens with 174 litres in total. Most 100cm and 110cm models have four, including a dedicated slow cook oven, with 183 to 202 litres depending on the model.
You need pans with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or most stainless steel. If a fridge magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of the pan, it will work on induction.
It's not a DIY job. The cooker has to be hardwired to a dedicated cooker circuit, so ask a registered electrician to fit it and check your supply.
Both brands come from the same factory. The Stoves Richmond brings features like the TrueTemp thermostat and SteamCleanse, so it comes down to the look you like, the features you need and your budget. Our Belling Farmhouse range cookers are well worth a look if you love a traditional style.
All of the electric Richmond models we sell have an A energy rating for their ovens. Induction is also one of the most efficient ways to cook on a hob, because the heat goes straight into the pan.
