Range Cooker News: June 2026

A quieter month for big announcements, but two product launches are worth flagging if you are shopping a 90cm or 100cm kitchen this summer, and the heating oil story has moved again in oil-fired Aga and Rayburn owners’ favour. Here is what landed in the second week of June.

Belling’s Farmhouse 90 reaches shops from 25 June

Belling’s new RCA Farmhouse 90 range arrives in retailers from 25 June, aimed squarely at smaller kitchens that cannot take a 100cm or 110cm cooker. It is a 90cm twin-oven design with 174 litres of capacity and comes in three hob flavours: dual fuel (gas hob over electric ovens), electric ceramic, and induction, with the induction version carrying a Link+ feature that bridges two zones into one large cooking area. The ovens add AirFry and Slow Cook programmes, which is the sort of spec that used to be reserved for pricier models. For a country kitchen that is tighter than it looks, 90cm is often the honest fit, and our best 90cm range cookers guide explains where the compromises land. Models and finishes are listed at Marks Electrical and on Belling’s own page.

Rangemaster confirms its new extractor range for July

Rangemaster has confirmed that the extraction collection it previewed at KBB Birmingham goes on sale from July. It is three chimney hoods, Whispera, Signature and Deluxe, all offered in 90cm, 100cm and 110cm widths so they line up exactly with the brand’s range cooker sizes. The Whispera is the one to note: a minimalist wall-mounted hood built around quiet running, which matters in the open-plan kitchen-diners that range cookers usually sit in. If you are pairing a new cooker with a hood rather than a venting hob, matching widths and finishes from one maker saves a lot of guesswork. Our range cooker buying guide covers how ventilation choices shape the rest of the layout. Details via ERT.

Heating oil keeps falling into summer

The good run for oil-fired Aga and Rayburn owners is continuing. OilCompare reports the UK average heating oil price at around 95p a litre on 1 June, down roughly 28% from April’s painful 132p peak, with the cheapest postcodes quoting near 77p. The outlook is for prices to hold around current levels through the summer before the usual seasonal climb starts pushing them up again from September. The practical read is unchanged from a buyer’s point of view: this is the cheap window, so topping the tank up now rather than in autumn is the sensible play. If you are still weighing running costs across fuels, our Aga running costs guide puts oil against electric and gas on current rates.
