Where to buy the Stoves Richmond 100cm Black range cooker
🏆 Review & price summary
The Stoves Richmond 100cm Black range cooker is built for high-volume cooking, combining a seven-burner gas hob with four electric cavities and 196 litres of usable cooking capacity. The 60-litre multifunction main oven adds AirFry, pizza, proving, slow-cook and rapid-preheat functions, while the dedicated slow-cook oven leaves the larger cavities available for other dishes. Its A-rated main, second and third ovens, programmable controls, telescopic sliders and included griddle make it a well-equipped choice for entertaining and batch cooking. The main compromises are its near-1m footprint, heavy installation requirements and the smaller 33-litre conventional oven-and-grill cavity.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Four separate electric cooking cavities provide strong flexibility for simultaneous cooking
- ✓ Seven gas burners include a powerful 4.0kW wok burner and cast-iron pan supports
- ✓ A-rated main, second and third ovens help keep energy performance strong for the category
- ✓ Useful included equipment includes a cast-iron griddle, AirFry tray and double-extension telescopic sliders
Worth considering
- A 32A hard-wired electrical connection is required and no standard plug is fitted, making installation more involved than for a plug-in cooker
- At 118.642kg and 996mm wide, it is a heavy, near-1m appliance that requires careful delivery planning and positioning

Overview
The Stoves Richmond 100cm Black range cooker combines a seven-burner gas hob with four electric oven cavities, giving it unusually high simultaneous cooking capacity for a 100cm appliance.
Its 196-litre total usable cooking capacity is split between a 60-litre multifunction main oven, a 61-litre fan oven, a 33-litre conventional oven with grill and a dedicated 42-litre slow-cook oven.
Hob and cooking performance
The gas hob has seven burners ranging from 1.0kW to 4.0kW, including a PowerWok burner for large pans and high-heat cooking. Cast-iron pan supports, automatic ignition and flame-failure protection are all specified.
The main electric oven offers 13 functions, including fan cooking, pizza, AirFry, slow cook, keep warm, defrost and proving. Its TrueTemp digital thermostat allows five-degree temperature adjustments, while automatic rapid preheat helps reduce waiting time.
The second oven provides four functions with fan cooking, slow cooking, proving and keep-warm settings. The smaller third cavity combines conventional electric cooking with a variable dual-circuit grill.
Ease of use and cleaning
The programmable Maxi-Clock touch control can operate as a minute minder or control semi-automatic and fully automatic cooking. Double-extension telescopic sliders make it easier to access hot dishes safely.
Easy-clean enamel interiors and the SteamCleanse system provide assisted cleaning for the multifunction and conventional ovens. The included AirFry tray and removable cast-iron griddle add useful cooking flexibility without requiring separate countertop appliances.
Installation and ownership
This is a freestanding cooker with adjustable feet and rear wheels, but its 996mm width and 118.642kg weight mean delivery routes, floor strength and final positioning should be planned carefully.
The appliance requires a 32A hard-wired electrical connection rather than a standard plug. It is supplied for natural gas and can be converted to LPG, although the conversion kit is not included.
The main, second and third oven cavities carry an A energy rating. The dedicated slow-cook cavity is not assigned a separate energy rating in the manufacturer's specification.
Verdict
The Stoves Richmond 100cm Black range cooker is a strong choice for cooks who genuinely need multiple ovens and burners working together. Its four-cavity layout, useful 4kW wok burner and broad multifunction main oven make it particularly capable for entertaining and batch cooking.
It is less suitable for kitchens that cannot accommodate a near-1m appliance, for buyers who want induction rather than gas, or for anyone seeking a simple plug-in installation.
