One of the first decisions when buying a range cooker is choosing the right size. Get it wrong and you end up with a cooker that's too cramped for your cooking style, or one that dwarfs a small kitchen. This guide walks you through every standard width, what each one offers, and the key measurements to take before you commit.
Standard Range Cooker Widths
Range cookers come in: 60cm, 70cm, 80cm, 90cm, 100cm, 110cm, 120cm and 150cm. The most popular size in the UK is 90cm, which offers the best balance of hob space, oven capacity and kitchen fit.
60cm Range Cookers
Best for: Smaller kitchens, flats, couples or individuals upgrading from a standard freestanding cooker. A 60cm range cooker fits where wider options won't, with 4 burners and a single oven plus grill.

- Hood clearance — typically 65–75cm between hob surface and bottom of hood; hood should be at least as wide as the cooker
