We are still mid renovation but have all Kitchen Aide appliances (fridge and dishwasher are touchless ss) with a stainless steel Zline hood. Home Depot sells samples online for about $5 which helped us know the snow stainless was not going to match.

really, I'll have to try that. I contacted Zline and they said they don't have samples. thanks. did you get the Durasnow stainless or the regular stainless?

Hi Natalie,
We purchased a ZLine range about 6 months ago, and we hated it. Thank goodness we were allowed to return it. The oven cooling fan turns on whenever you turn the oven on, it was so loud you could barely carry on a conversation in the kitchen, and I have a large kitchen, the heat it blows out comes out above the door, waist level, no way you could stand and use the burners while the oven was on, it literally was like a hairdryer on hot on a medium setting. The oven door door got ridiculously hot too, I’m talking burn yourself hot. I contacted ZLine and sent them videos of the running fan and of the amount heat blowing out the door (I held a sheet of paper in front of the door, literally flapping in the air) and asked about the extreme hot door, I was told all this was normal.
Like I said, thank goodness we were allowed to return it. We then purchased a Bluestar open burner gas range and absolutely love it. It has no cooling fan, so it’s quiet, the door doesn’t get hot at all, just slightly warm, and the open burners are amazing. Hands down, it was well worth the extra money.

ok, good to know

Jo I'm debating between a ZLine and a BlueStar. Where id you buy the range from that allowed you to return it after 6 months? Would love to find somewhere that would do that. Also, the BlueStar is a good bit shallower (about 4" if I remember correctly. Did the switch create any issues with the fit in your kitchen? My cabinets will be custom and I'm concerned that if I had to trade out the range ti would look awful if the fit is off.

I purchased the Zline from HomeDepot, and I returned it 2 days later, not 6 months, this purchase was over 6 months ago which is where the confusion must have come in.
We made sure on the HD website that it said the range was returnable before we ordered it.

The BS range sits perfectly in the same spot the Zline sat in, the only thing that sits out further past the the cabinets is the door of the of the BS range which the Zline door did too.
Hope this helps!

I agree @ Quercus. I’m so glad we made sure we could return the Zline before we purchased it, it was pretty to look at, but its performance was absolutely AWFUL!!

Have done much research since my post here of a few days ago and have pretty much decided I want a BlueStar but am having trouble finding a local retailer :(. Haven’t given up yet.

Quercus.....do you use Kitchen Aide in your builds, if so do you are all the appliances Kitchen Aide, (microwave, refrigerator, DW, range)

@Iwfromny
Give BS a call and ask them if they can give you the name of a dealer close to you. The closest dealer to us was about an hour drive away, but
It was worth the drive as this particular dealer had a working BS kitchen on the showroom floor which was great, and those open burners are fabulous and so easy to clean!

We have the Zline, the top stove is okay, the oven is terrible. Do not buy it.

My wife and I completely remodeled our house last year during the pandemic. Our kitchen was the final piece to the puzzle. We did a ton of research on different appliances and the features offered. We were shocked at how pricey some of the kitchen appliances were so my friend told us to check out zline. Despite some of the mixed reviews we decided to give them a chance and we honestly love our kitchen appliances. Our range hood with Bluetooth speakers is the center piece our kitchen now. Our gas range also works very well. We have had no issues with our appliances and would recommend the company.

I purchased the durasnow appliances for my kitchen about 6 months ago and I love them. They look beautiful and work great. I am professional chef and I put them to work a lot! The 48" range is consistent and powerful. The range hood provides a lot of ventilation and keeps the air clean. I am very satisfied with zline.

I think Zline is a good brand when it comes to range hoods. We have one of their wall-mount stainless steel range hoods, and it looks great in our kitchen. I honestly think their range hoods would fit any kitchen style because they look simple and solid, except the designer series, which looks fancier. Very easy to clean, too. You can take out the filters by simply pulling it out the hood’s underside. No tools needed. It’s a pretty decent product.

@Sean Conroy You still Love your Z-line range hood? is it quiet? Can u share your model #

@Mike B You still Love your Z-line range hood? Can u share your model # I thought the blutooth speakers was an interesting feature too. I suppose you dont hear those when the hood is running?

Rangehood works good and looks good, and it is easy to clean the baffles in the dishwasher. My only comment (as many other customers have pointed out) is the annoyance of having to push the off button two times as it goes into a timer mode (that really no one uses) first before the fan can be turned off.

Regarding if it is quiet. It depends on if you run it at the lowest or the highest speed, it is a fan so it will make noise but it does a good job of keeping the kitchen free of all the fumes from when you fry bacon.
