I’m after a 900 wide range cooker and have narrowed it down to one of these brands. I was swaying towards a Rangemaster mainly due to price but I when I looked at them at the weekend I wasn’t all that impressed with the quality compared to the Brittannia.
I haven’t actually seen a Falcon yet but the salesman (who can also get Falcons) said they were just “Rangemaster with a posher door”… so hard to justify another £1800. I’ve read other comments on here and the Falcons seem to be very highly regarded, so can you reassure me that they are alot more than Rangemaster with a posher door!
Also, does anyone know the difference between the Brittannia E-Line and L-Line – the spec looks exactly the same.
Re: Falcon v Rangemaster v Brittannia
Thanks for the bump.
I spoke to a guy at rangecookers.co.uk who was very helpful. His view was that rangemaster and falcon are almost identical apart from:
– much heavier doors
– better pan stand things (do they have a name?)
– individual pan stand things.
– More powerful burners.
– 3 year warranty (rather than 2).Difference between E-Line and L-Line Britannia is:
– triple glazed door
– storage compartment
– They both have metal knobs and Falcon/Rangemaster don’tStill not sure which to go for… The quality of the Britannia looked great but my wife wants 5 burners (Rangemaster and Falcon) rather than 6 (Britannia), one of which to be really powerful (Falcon). Not bothered about storage door on Britannia but a lot of wasted space without it. I basically want the Falcon 900 deluxe but I’m struggling to justify the extra money over either the rangemaster or Britannia…. can someone just to tell me I must get it and order it now!

The Falcon is an absolutely superb cooker, if you can afford it you will not regret purchasing it.
Brittania – not impressed with spares availability and definitely not impressed with the price of spares, cookers arent bad but given the choice I would pick a Rangemaster over a Brittania.
