Bertazzoni 90cm vs 100cm — Is the Extra 10cm Worth It?

This is the decision most Bertazzoni buyers spend the longest on, and the price gap is smaller than people expect. Here's the honest comparison.

The prices

90cm twin oven dual fuel starts at £4,099 in stainless steel, £4,399 in colour. 100cm twin oven dual fuel is £4,699 across the board.

On induction, 90cm twin oven starts at £4,599 and 100cm twin oven at £4,799 in stainless, £5,099 in colour.

So the gap is roughly £300 to £600 like-for-like — less than most people assume, and less than the difference between stainless and a colour finish in some configurations.

What the extra 10cm actually gives you

More hob space. This is the main practical gain. The burners are spaced further apart, which means you can run large pans side by side without them touching. Anyone who has tried to fit two 28cm pans and a stockpot on a 90cm hob knows why this matters.

The XG option. This is the bigger deal. At 90cm every Bertazzoni Professional Series model is twin oven. At 100cm you can choose the XG configuration — a third cavity plus an extra-large main oven. If you want three ovens, 100cm is the narrowest width that offers them.

Presence. A 100cm cooker reads as a deliberate centrepiece in a way a 90cm one doesn't quite. Subjective, but real.

What 90cm gives you

It fits. 90cm is the most common range cooker width in UK kitchens for a reason — it slots into the space a 60cm cooker plus a base unit occupied, which is the standard renovation scenario. 100cm often means losing another unit or redesigning the run.

The Air-Tec option. Bertazzoni's vented induction models, which need no extraction hood, are only made at 90cm. If you want a cooker with extraction built in, 90cm is the only width available.

Cheaper entry point. The 90cm twin oven dual fuel in stainless at £4,099 is the least expensive route into the Professional Series, with the same burners, ovens and build quality as everything above it.

How to decide

Ask three questions.

Does 100cm actually fit? Not just the aperture — the whole run of units, the clearances, and the delivery route. If making 100cm work means losing storage you need or redesigning the kitchen, take the 90cm.

Do you want three ovens? If yes, you need 100cm or above. If you genuinely cook multiple dishes at different temperatures on a regular basis, that alone settles it.

How many large pans do you run at once? If the answer is regularly three or more, the extra hob width earns its money every week. If it's rarely more than two, it won't.

The recommendation we actually give

For most families: 90cm. It fits, it does everything, and the £300–£600 saved is better spent on the colour you actually want or on a proper installation.

For serious cooks and frequent entertainers: 100cm, and take the XG. The combination of wider hob and three cavities is a genuine step change in what you can do at once, and that's the configuration people are happiest with two years later.

For islands and open-plan kitchens where a hood is a problem: 90cm Air-Tec, because the width choice is made for you and it's the right answer to the bigger constraint.
