The ZLINE Story

The "Z" in ZLINE comes from founder Andrew "Andy" Zuro. While remodeling his own home, he found it hard to buy professional-grade, luxury-looking appliances at a price most homeowners could justify. ZLINE was started to solve that problem.

The company first made its name with range hoods, offering a wide range of styles in stainless steel, copper and wood. It then expanded into ranges, dishwashers, microwaves and wall ovens, and later into a full refrigeration line. ZLINE notes it has now been family-owned for nearly 20 years.

Curious about the "made where" question? Our guide Where Are ZLINE Appliances Made? explains ZLINE's design, manufacturing and distribution model in detail.

ZLINE Product Lines

Ranges

ZLINE offers gas, dual fuel and induction ranges from 24 to 60 inches wide. The main series are:

  • Paramount: ZLINE's current core pro-style line in gas (SGR), dual fuel and induction. The SGR gas range replaced ZLINE's first-generation RG Professional gas range. See our SGR gas range review.
  • Legacy: dual fuel ranges (model prefix RA) in widths from 24 to 60 inches.
  • Classic: gas and dual fuel ranges in 30, 36 and 48 inches.
  • Marino: a modern-styled series in gas, dual fuel and induction.
  • DuoPro™: cooktops with dual-ring brass burners in every position, available on select ranges and rangetops.

ZLINE gas ranges ship set up for natural gas with an LP (propane) conversion kit included, and the ovens are manual-clean enamel.

Range Hoods

ZLINE range hoods come in wall-mount, island, under-cabinet, insert and outdoor styles from 24 to 60 inches. Finishes include brushed stainless, black stainless, Satin Stainless, hand-hammered copper and solid wood. Not sure which to choose? Read Which ZLINE Wall Range Hood Is Right for You?

Refrigeration

ZLINE's refrigerator lineup covers counter-depth and standard-depth French door models, built-in and panel-ready refrigerators from 30 to 72 inches, column refrigerators and freezers, and undercounter wine coolers, beverage fridges and refrigerator drawers. Our post Does ZLINE Make a Refrigerator? walks through every type.

Dishwashers, Microwaves and More

ZLINE also makes dishwashers (including panel-ready models), microwaves and microwave drawers, wall ovens, rangetops and cooktops, plus kitchen and bath faucets, sinks and shower systems.

Finishes: Satin Stainless and Autograph Edition

Satin Stainless Steel is ZLINE's fingerprint-resistant finish, sold for years as DuraSnow®. It uses a circular, non-directional brushed texture that resists smudges, fingerprints and everyday scratches, with a softer, lower-gloss look than standard stainless. ZLINE also offers Black Satin Stainless Steel.

Autograph Edition is ZLINE's designer collection, envisioned by founder Andrew Zuro. It adds accents in polished gold, champagne bronze or matte black (and polished nickel on select models) to ranges, hoods, refrigerators, dishwashers and more. Select models also offer Helix knurled handles. Because the accents are coordinated across categories, you can match the hardware on every appliance. Learn more in our Autograph Edition deep dive.

ZLINE Warranty

Here are ZLINE's official warranty terms (zlinekitchen.com warranty page, checked October 2026):

  • Ranges: 1 Year Parts and Service — Limited Lifetime Warranty on Gas Burners
  • Range hoods: 3 Year Parts-Only; Limited Lifetime Motor
  • Counter-depth and standard-depth refrigerators: 1 Year Parts and Service; 5 Year Parts-Only Sealed System
  • Built-in refrigerators and wine/beverage coolers: 2 Year Parts and Service; 5 Year Parts-Only Sealed System
  • Dishwashers and wall ovens: 1 Year Parts and Service
  • Microwaves: 2 Year Parts-Only

Coverage applies to the original purchaser in normal residential use within the contiguous United States and DC. Claims require proof of purchase and the product's serial number, and repairs are handled by ZLINE-certified service providers.

Is ZLINE a Good Brand? Who It Suits

ZLINE is a strong fit if you:

  • Want a professional-style look (heavy knobs, cast-iron grates, chimney hoods) without paying luxury-brand prices.
  • Care about design and want to match finishes across the whole kitchen, including Autograph Edition hardware.
  • Value long coverage on the parts ZLINE highlights most: the limited lifetime warranty on gas burners and on range hood motors.
  • Are planning a full remodel and want one brand for the range, hood, dishwasher and refrigerator.

A few things to weigh honestly:

  • ZLINE gas range ovens are manual-clean, so there is no self-clean cycle.
  • The 3-year range hood warranty is parts-only, so budget for an installer's labor if a part ever needs replacing.
  • ZLINE recommends professional installation for built-in refrigerators, and propane (LP) conversions must be done by a qualified professional.

The Bottom Line

If you want a cohesive, designer-looking kitchen at an attainable price, it belongs on your shortlist. Questions about a specific model? Our team is happy to help you compare options.

Z Line is great at doing 1 thing alone: breaking down and having to buy $100 spare parts. Worst product I’ve ever come across. Even the cheapest ovens work longer and better.

I fell prey to the ZLINE Attainable Luxury Designed in Lake Tahoe. I thought, this must be a good alternative to what you find at the box stores. I bought an entire ZLINE kitchen. A pretty face is all you get. Marginal build/assembly quality all around. The unexpected LOUD in your waist heat exhaust fan is a complete deal breaker. I would have been much better of spending less money on a scratched and dented floor model from any other manufacturer.

If you dislike any of that, of course making markers out of batter or melted sugar on the bezel while making batters lets you do markup! It dries or cools or bakes in place in short time. I do not know how I’d make detents work but maybe Panera or your Kitchen Supply or such does such a thing and/or those knobs are big enough to add internal detents.

Let us know if there are unused electric power access at the bezel and how much; very bad place to charge a phone, very awkward place to mount a tablet unless your backsplash is a lightbox window, convenient for remote cooking starts (was there no LG touch control option?) I guess, powering a cobot, and yeah bezel lights. (Boo! I’m the uplighting chef! This dish was cooked here this very night 37 years ago! No this is a new firing, yikes!)

Steve Nordquist

Many things are wrong with this! Certainly hiring a craftsperson and/or stenciling (adonizing paste) your temperature hints on in your units of choice (print that Frog Tape!) will get you indicators that pop and/or fill legend space right or top-right of selected guide knobs. Alternately you can make a powered tailproof bezel with a RasPi Zero sort of computer ($14ish) such that enough bezels have their own (IR presence or Lidar-triggered (the LIDAR that can detect range or faces or simply that our phones are in a pocket and needn’t light up etc.)) LED lampage and/or call-outs. That is, the LED can give light to suit your call on the towels on the rack or your waist, plus the OG bezel or adonized marks, and/or illuminate and speak/replay (in speech) a temperature where you like so there’s a glowing 87° F (…all the other temperatures) on the steel or an e-paper sign, on the guard around the steel (not that it can’t also be steel (safe bevel all unfolded edges 🤟 (throwing horns is the I Love You hand sign?!? oh.) so animals can’t operate the stove just because you left some temptation on top (and paws, and tails, and they’re cornering showoffs) but also your bezel is compelling you (maybe you, maybe a particular and trained mammal…carp, not for me to say;) to bake, warm, dehydrate, crisp, proof, display, toast, etc.

Secondly I wish the ovens could be serviced by a split for efficiency and so that ice service could be boosted and the overall heat load on kitchen/dining service ventilation reduced; maybe at least an alt drop for split heat at warming oven er…inlets?

I teceived my beautiful 36” gas Autograph series range last month. It is so beautiful, just as it looked in brochers! But, i have to get a flashlight out in order to read the brass knobs. Most difficult to know the oven temperature ! On a beautiful and expensive range as this i shouldnt need a flashlight! What’s wtong with this??!
