Range Cooker News: June 2026

A lighter news fortnight, but two of the three items below are deadline-driven, so they matter if you are close to buying. Rangemaster picked up a major marketing award, the brand’s free five-year warranty offer is about to close, and Rayburn’s trade-in deal is still open through the summer. Here is what landed in the back half of June.

Rangemaster wins a global marketing award for “Part of the Family Since 1830”

At the 41st Marketing Society Global Awards in London on 9 June, AGA Rangemaster took the Brand Communication (Agility) award for its first national television campaign, “Part of the Family Since 1830”. The campaign reframed the range cooker as the centre of family life rather than a kitchen workhorse, and the brand says sales volumes ran to almost three times the original target while market share grew, all against a declining wider market. The shortlist it beat included Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and John Lewis, which is a useful signal for buyers: Rangemaster is investing heavily in the brand, and that tends to mean continued model development, parts availability and dealer support over the long ownership life of a range cooker. If you are weighing Rangemaster against the obvious alternative, our AGA vs Rangemaster comparison lays out how the two actually differ in use and cost. The win is confirmed on the Marketing Society case study page and reported by Bathroom & Kitchen Update.

Rangemaster’s free 5-year warranty offer closes on 30 June

If you have been circling a Rangemaster, the clock is worth watching. The brand’s free five-year warranty promotion, which covers the Estel, Edge, Nexus and selected Classic and Classic Deluxe range cookers, ends on 30 June 2026. Five years of cover on a cooker you expect to keep for fifteen or twenty is not nothing, and it removes the cost of bolting on extended cover separately. The practical takeaway is timing: if a Rangemaster is already your pick, ordering before the end of the month banks the warranty rather than paying for it later. The offer terms and the qualifying models are listed on the Rangecookers.co.uk promotions page.

Rayburn’s recycle-and-save deal runs through to September

For anyone replacing an old cast iron range, Rayburn is offering 20% off all Rayburn Ranger models when you recycle your existing cast iron cooker, and that deal runs until 1 September 2026. The all-electric Ranger needs only two 13-amp supplies, with no flue and no servicing, which makes it one of the easier traditional-look cookers to drop into a country kitchen that is moving off oil or solid fuel. Twenty per cent off a cooker at this price point is a meaningful saving, and the recycling angle deals with the awkward problem of getting a heavy old range out of the kitchen. Details are on the Rangecookers.co.uk promotions page. If you are sizing up the switch, our range cooker buying guide walks through fuel, width and installation before you commit.
