Is ZLINE a Good Brand? Sourced Facts for 2026 Buyers

Last updated: October 30, 2026. Every fact below links to its source: ZLINE's own pages, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the State of Tennessee and the Northern Nevada Business Weekly. We sell ZLINE, so we kept this page to verifiable facts and left out opinions about reliability.

Short answer: ZLINE is a family-owned U.S. company (Reno, Nevada, founded 2007) that sells pro-style ranges, hoods and other appliances with many finish options at prices below many luxury brands. It is a good fit if design choice and price matter most. Before you buy, weigh three trade-offs: a 1-year parts and service warranty on ranges (with lifetime coverage on gas burners), service only through ZLINE-approved providers, and a 2023 CPSC recall of ZLINE RG-series gas ranges sold from 2019 to 2022.

Where ZLINE is strong

  • Design and finish choice. ZLINE offers stainless, Satin Stainless (DuraSnow), and Autograph Edition accents such as gold, champagne bronze and matte black. See our Autograph Edition guide and Satin Stainless vs DuraSnow.
  • A matched suite from one brand. Ranges, hoods, dishwashers, refrigeration, microwaves and wall ovens, so the whole cooking wall can match.
  • Burner and motor coverage. ZLINE lists a limited lifetime warranty on gas burners for ranges and rangetops, and a limited lifetime motor warranty on range hoods.
  • Range hoods are a core line. ZLINE described itself as a range hood maker when it opened its Tennessee distribution hub in 2018, and hoods carry 3 years parts-only coverage.

Trade-offs to check before you buy

  • Short base warranty on cooking appliances. Ranges, rangetops, wall ovens and dishwashers have 1 year parts and service. Built-in refrigeration and wine coolers have 2 years. Compare that with any other brand you are considering, model by model.
  • Service network. Warranty service must be done by ZLINE-approved, ZLINE-certified providers after troubleshooting with ZLINE customer service. Ask ZLINE whether a provider covers your ZIP code before you order, especially in rural areas.
  • Warranty limits. Coverage starts on the delivery date (not the install date), covers the original purchaser only, applies to residential use only (vacation rentals such as Airbnb count as commercial) and only in the contiguous U.S. and DC.
  • The 2023 RG gas range recall. About 30,000 RG-series gas ranges were recalled because the oven could emit dangerous carbon monoxide. ZLINE first offered a repair (January 2023), then on November 21, 2023 expanded the remedy to include a replacement or refund after 131 reports that repaired units still emitted CO. CPSC says owners of an affected range should stop using the oven, even if it was already repaired, and contact ZLINE; the range top is unaffected. The recall covers only model numbers RG30, RGS-30, RGB-30, RG36, RGS-36, RGB-36, RG48, RGS-48 and RGB-48, sold February 2019 to December 2022. None of those model numbers are in our catalog. If you are buying a used ZLINE range, check the model label against the CPSC notice.

Before you order any ZLINE appliance

  1. Confirm the exact model number and read its spec sheet and warranty.
  2. Ask ZLINE about certified service coverage for your ZIP code.
  3. Size the hood: use our range hood CFM calculator and How much CFM for a ZLINE range?
  4. Check fuel and electrical: dual fuel models need both a gas line and the electrical circuit listed on the spec sheet. Have a licensed installer do gas, venting and electrical work to local code.
  5. Comparing brands? Read ZLINE vs ILVE vs FORNO and THOR vs ZLINE 36-inch dual fuel.

FAQ

Is ZLINE a good appliance brand?

ZLINE is a good fit if you want pro-style looks, many finish and accent options, and prices below many luxury brands. Weigh that against a 1-year parts and service warranty on ranges, service through ZLINE-approved providers only, and a 2023 CPSC recall of ZLINE RG gas ranges. Check the warranty, service coverage for your ZIP code and the exact model before you buy.

Where is ZLINE based and who owns it?

ZLINE Kitchen and Bath was founded in 2007 by Andrew Zuro. It is family-owned and headquartered in Reno, Nevada, with distribution facilities in Nevada, Tennessee (Bruceton and Milan) and Ohio (Marysville).

Where are ZLINE appliances made?

ZLINE says its products are designed in the United States and produced with globally sourced materials and components through an international manufacturing network, and that the manufacturing location varies by model. The CPSC recall notice for the RG gas ranges lists China as the country of manufacture for those models.

What warranty does ZLINE offer?

Per ZLINE's warranty page: ranges, rangetops and drop-in cooktops have 1 year parts and service plus a limited lifetime warranty on gas burners; range hoods have 3 years parts-only plus a limited lifetime motor warranty; wall ovens and dishwashers have 1 year parts and service; microwaves have 2 years parts-only. Coverage starts on the delivery date, covers the original purchaser only, residential use only, in the contiguous U.S. and DC.

Were ZLINE ranges recalled?

Yes. In 2023 ZLINE recalled about 30,000 RG-series gas ranges (models RG30, RGS-30, RGB-30, RG36, RGS-36, RGB-36, RG48, RGS-48, RGB-48) because the oven could emit dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. The ranges were sold from February 2019 through December 2022. CPSC says only those model numbers are included. Owners should contact ZLINE at 833-226-1400 or rgrecall@zlinekitchen.com.

Is ZLINE Satin Stainless the same as DuraSnow?

Yes. ZLINE renamed its DuraSnow finish to Satin Stainless Steel. See our ZLINE Satin Stainless vs DuraSnow guide for details.
