Think about size, fuel type, and oven layout. Most are 90cm to 110cm wide, so make sure you’ve got the space. Choose between gas, electric, or dual fuel depending on how you like to cook – dual fuel gives you the best of both worlds. Look for multiple ovens (great for multitasking), a separate grill, and a spacious hob with five or more burners. Handy extras like storage drawers, programmable timers, and easy-clean finishes are a bonus too.
Range cookers are brilliant if you love to cook big or just want more flexibility.

Most models are 90cm, 100cm or 110cm wide, so measure up carefully and make sure there’s room for ventilation and opening oven doors. If you’ve got a smaller kitchen, a 90cm model still gives you plenty of cooking power without taking over the room. Bigger sizes are great if you cook for a crowd or want extra oven space. "
Dual fuel range cookers are a popular pick because they give you the best of both worlds – a gas hob for instant heat and precise control, and electric ovens for even, reliable cooking. They’re great if you love to cook a mix of meals and want flexibility. That said, electric models are brilliant too, especially if you don’t have a gas supply or prefer a sleek induction hob. It really comes down to your kitchen setup and how you like to cook.
You’ll only need to note down the height of the oven you like as the width (59.7cm) and depth (56cm) are usually standard across manufacturers.
