Thanks Michelle. My designer would like me to choose the appliances so he can proceed with the final specs on the cabinets. I heard the new Thermador ranges will be out in Jan 2019 from a salesman so that is a bit too far out. I wish there were some floor models available in the refrigeration as I do like what I have read about them thus far but again price is a bit more than I had budgeted out for the project. This is why I went with the counter-depth option for refrigeration given I can save a few thousand here and still have a decent range.

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.

We got a Z-Line duel-oven. They look professional, but the performance is barley acceptable. The oven never keeps the proper temperature, so we have to use an oven thermometer and constantly adjust the setting to get the correct temperature. They are also grossly unreliable. If you get one, then expect it to fail within a year. It would be covered by warranty, but the worst part about Z-Line is their warranty and customer service. If they cannot find a provider in your area, then they will tell you that you will have to wait until they do, which can take days, weeks, months. So far, our oven has been down for a month. When it is repaired, it will break for a different reason. In our case, the lower oven element stopped working. Z-Line was aware of the problem and sends out updated elements to fix. However, it requires a repair person because the updated elements have different connections, which need to be spliced into the old wire. Apparently, Z-Line knows about this defect and sells their ovens anyway until the old elements are out of stock, hoping they will not fail until after the warranty. Mine failed just weeks before the warranty ended. Then they inconvenience their customers by allowing the elements to fail before they replace them with the corrected version of the part. We're currently working to get it fixed. Z-Line made me wait a month and finally stated that they could not find a contracted repair person in my area. Now, they are sending a new oven, but they cannot guarantee that the new oven will not have the same defective element (how sad and fraudulent is that). While waiting for the new oven, the old oven broke altogether. It no longer broils or actuates the fan. The only thing that works is the oven light. So, even if you repair the defective parts, this product will break for an entirely different reason. If you buy a Z-Line, then you will be paying good money for a disposable product that you will be discarding after a year or two. Definitely not worth it!
