Rangemaster Nexus Review: 80L Oven, 3 Sizes, 2026 Model
By the Hill & May team
Updated 2026
This Rangemaster Nexus review covers the version Rangemaster launched in April 2026, which replaced the older Nexus, Nexus SE and Nexus Steam. The Nexus is Rangemaster’s most modern-looking range: flat-fronted doors, satin handles, diamond-turned aluminium knobs and a white LED touch display. It comes in 90cm, 100cm and 110cm widths, as dual fuel or induction, and every version has the same headline feature, an 80-litre main oven with eight functions.
The short version: the Nexus is a good cooker for a family that wants a big multifunction oven and a contemporary look. The model you pick matters more than with most ranges, because the 110cm versions add a proving drawer or a slow cook oven, and one of those needs a heavier electrical supply than a normal cooker circuit.
Every specification below was checked on Rangemaster’s own product pages on 2 November 2026.
What every Nexus has
- Main oven: 80 litres, multifunction with eight functions including DUO mode, catalytic liners, two telescopic shelves and a large viewing window with removable glass.
- Second oven: a fan oven. On the 90cm models it is the tall oven, with four shelves and nine shelf levels.
- Grill: Rangemaster’s Flexi-Grill, a separate 29-litre grill on runners with full and half grilling.
- Size: 895mm to 935mm high at the hotplate, 604mm deep (655mm including handles).
- Finishes: Charcoal Black, Gloss Black, Slate, Stainless Steel and White, all with chrome trim.
- Energy rating: A for both ovens.
- Plinth: a self-adjusting magnetic plinth that lines up with the bottom of your kitchen units.
Nexus 90: the one most kitchens can take
The Nexus 90 dual fuel has a five-burner gas hob: a 1kW simmer burner, two 1.7kW burners, a 3kW burner and a 4kW multi-ring wok burner, on semi-gloss cast-iron pan supports with one-handed ignition. Rangemaster supplies a griddle and wok cradle for the 90 and 100 dual fuel hobs. Next to the 80-litre multifunction oven sits the tall fan oven.
The Nexus 90 induction has five zones with power boost, nine power levels, bridging so two zones work as one for a griddle or fish kettle, and a 3.2kW central zone. Both need a 32A supply.

Nexus 110: where it gets interesting
The 110cm Nexus is the reason to look at this collection over the Rangemaster Classic 110. Under the two ovens you get a drawer that actually cooks.
Nexus 110 dual fuel. A seven-zone hob: five gas burners (including the 4kW wok burner) plus two 1.1kW radiant electric zones, handy for keeping a sauce warm without a flame. Below the ovens is a 25-litre proving drawer for bread dough. It runs on a 32A supply, with a maximum electrical load of 10.86kW.
Nexus 110 induction with proving drawer. Five induction zones with bridging and a 3.2kW central zone, plus the same 25-litre proving drawer. Maximum load 18.66kW; minimum supply 32A.
Nexus 110 induction with slow cook oven. The same hob, but the drawer is a 27-litre thermostatic slow cook oven. This is the one to check before you order: Rangemaster lists its minimum supply as 45A, with a maximum load of 19.46kW. Plenty of older houses have a cooker circuit that will not take that, and upgrading it means an electrician, new cable and possibly a consumer unit change. Use our cooker cable size calculator as a first check, then get an electrician to confirm.
What the Nexus is good at
The main oven. Eighty litres is a big multifunction oven for a range cooker. You can roast on the fan setting, bake with top and bottom heat, or crisp a pastry base with the base element, all in the one cavity.
A tidy, modern front. The controls are all the same style of dial with one touch display, so the fascia looks less cluttered than a traditional range. If your kitchen is handleless or flat-fronted, the Nexus suits it far better than a Classic or a Cotswold.
Flexible lower drawer on the 110. A proving drawer is genuinely useful if you bake bread; a slow cook oven means a stew can cook all day without tying up a main oven.
Where it falls short
Only the left oven is catalytic on the 90. Rangemaster lists the 90’s tall right-hand oven as enamel, which you clean by hand. On the 110s both ovens are catalytic.
The 45A slow cook model. As above, it is a real installation hurdle, and some buyers will only find out when the fitter arrives.
Running costs. Two electric ovens and a heated drawer use more energy than one oven. Our range cooker running costs page shows what that means per hour of cooking.
Gloss Black shows fingerprints. That is true of any gloss finish; Charcoal Black and Slate are more forgiving if you have children.
Old Nexus or new Nexus?
Earlier Nexus models, including the Nexus SE and Nexus Steam, are still listed on Rangemaster’s site and turn up at retailers as stock clears. The Nexus Steam had a dedicated steam cavity, which the April 2026 Nexus does not. If steam cooking is the reason you want a Nexus, you need a remaining Steam model, not the new range.
The difference also affects the warranty. Rangemaster’s 5 year warranty promotion covers the new-generation Nexus for orders placed between 1 September and 30 November 2026, delivered by 28 February 2027 and claimed within 28 days of delivery. Older stock gets the standard warranty. New-generation model codes on Rangemaster’s pages end /CM1, such as NEX90EISTST/CM1; ask the retailer to confirm the model code in writing before you pay.
Nexus vs the alternatives
If you want a traditional look with a multifunction oven, the Classic Deluxe is the Rangemaster to compare. If you want the square, professional styling with a 4kW wok burner, look at our Professional Deluxe 90 review. Our best 110cm range cookers page compares the Nexus 110 with Stoves, Belling, Smeg and others, and the Rangemaster model overview sets out every collection side by side. You can check full specifications on Rangemaster’s Nexus page.
Our verdict
The new Nexus is a strong family range cooker with a better main oven than most rivals at its size, and a modern look that suits contemporary kitchens. Buy the 90 if space is tight and you want a tall second oven. Buy the 110 dual fuel if you bake bread and want two extra simmer zones. Buy the 110 induction with slow cook only after an electrician has confirmed a 45A supply. Check current price with your retailer, and confirm the model code before you order so the five-year warranty applies.
