Presumably a woke burner just constantly slags you off for being a bit sexist/a bigot.

Had a rangemaster for about 10 years, believe its 90cm, has the normal main over then a thinner side oven. Its lasted well with no issues or repairs required.

Though prices seem to have doubled since then! Think it was circa £1100 and similar ones now are 2k+.

wow damm ok!

Inflation?

I bought this one earlier this year:

CG92PX9_SS | Smeg Dual Fuel Range Cooker | ao.com

This CG92PX9_SS Smeg Dual Fuel Range Cooker has 2 cavities, 5 burners, Circulaire, and a Pyrolytic cleaning function.

ao.com

I love it. Looks good, cooks well, and well yea. What’s more to say? It’s got that auto cleaning thing but I’ve never used it. The bottom flap opens up to provide good storage for baking sheets and tins.
I mainly use the main oven for cakes and it’s very consistent. Little oven is used mainly for the grill for cheese on toast and it toasts very fast!
Most of our cooking is on the hob and it’s great having five burners.

Being a Smeg I assume parts will be ok. I think it’s the entry model Smeg but don’t really see what more would get me…

Took a photo for you:

Definitely go to Curry’s or something and have a play with some. I found some models (range master included) quite flimsy.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely check it out in curry's.

Is that ao website good?

AO is the best place to buy appliances from imo. Best prices, good customer service and biggest range. There’s also topcashback. They do pricematch but I found that every shop had a slightly different model code for what was the exact same appliance to avoid price matching but YMMV.
I bought all my appliances (big fridge/freezer, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, hood and range) from them when I did my kitchen in April and don’t have any bad comments.
Dishwasher broke the other month (it was the cheapest one on there tbh) and they had someone out in a few days and a replacement out, and fitted, four days after that.

Awsome OK cool and they seem cheaper than curry's and John Lewis

Yeah do this. We found the Rangemasters and other “high street” models very disappointing in the flesh. Plasticky fronts and buttons etc. I was surprised.

After some deliberation, we have this bad boy on order in graphite and brass
