Where to buy the Rangemaster RHDC110BL/C cooker hood
🏆 Review & price summary
The Rangemaster RHDC110BL/C chimney hood is a 110cm black-and-chrome model designed for larger hobs and range cookers. It offers three extraction speeds up to 480m³/h, ducted or recirculating operation, two LED lights and simple slider control. Its B energy rating is respectable, but the D grease-filtration class and 67dB maximum noise level keep it from being a top-tier performer.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Wide 110cm chimney format for larger cooking areas
- ✓ Maximum rated extraction of 480m³/h across three speeds
- ✓ Supports both ducted extraction and recirculation
- ✓ Carbon filter supplied for recirculating installation
- ✓ Two LED lights and straightforward slider controls
- ✓ B energy rating with A-rated lighting efficiency
- ✓ Grease filters can be washed in a dishwasher
Worth considering
- The 67dB maximum noise rating is noticeable at the highest speed and is not especially quiet for an open-plan kitchen
- There is no separate boost mode listed in the manufacturer's specifications; 480m³/h is the maximum rated speed
- Recirculating installation requires a non-washable carbon filter that the manual recommends replacing approximately every four months

The manufacturer rates this hood as a three-speed model with a maximum extraction rate of 480m³/h and no separate boost mode. This review follows those manufacturer specifications.
Extraction and controls
The Rangemaster RHDC110BL/C chimney hood uses three extraction speeds, rated at 240, 330 and 480m³/h at the working point. That gives it enough headroom for everyday steam and odours from a wide cooking area, although the manufacturer does not list a separate boost mode.
Slider switch controls keep operation straightforward. The hood is designed for regular domestic use rather than app control, remote operation or a large collection of automated settings.
Installation and fit
At 1098mm wide and 490mm deep, the Rangemaster RHDC110BL/C chimney hood is intended for a substantial wall space above a large hob or range cooker. Its height adjusts from approximately 735mm to 1010mm, so the available chimney clearance should be checked carefully before installation.
The hood supports ducted extraction and recirculation. The installation documentation specifies a minimum 120mm duct connection and a minimum 650mm safety distance between the hob and hood, subject to any greater clearance required by the hob manufacturer.
Lighting and maintenance
Two LED lights provide illumination over the cooking area, while the supplied grease filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher according to the user manual. This should make routine maintenance less demanding than relying on disposable grease filters.
For recirculating installation, the carbon filter is not washable or regenerable and the manual recommends replacement approximately every four months, or more often with intensive use. That is an ongoing maintenance requirement for kitchens without external ducting.
Efficiency and overall appeal
The hood carries a B energy rating and an annual energy consumption figure of 44.8kWh, while its lighting efficiency is rated A. Its maximum noise level is 67dB, with the manufacturer listing 50dB at the lowest speed and 58dB at the middle speed.
The black-and-chrome finish, broad chimney format and uncomplicated controls make this a sensible choice for buyers prioritising appearance and basic extraction performance over smart functions or premium filtration ratings.
