Hey y’all! It’s that time, a full review of our ZLINE range that we have had for nine months now. Before I jump right into it, I want to share some important decisions made before I share our experience with the range. First, our home is a new custom new build that we designed from a plan already created. We didn’t have a the time to do a fully custom design (that can add another 6+ months to a new build), but we did essentially blow apart what the kitchen looked like and changed a lot of that. And that’s where this range comes into play.
I love cooking and have always loved trying out new recipes and creating my own recipes. At our last house we had a standard size oven that had five burners with a center skillet option. It had a double oven feature and I just knew I needed a double oven again. It served it’s purpose and I definitely loved it, but now I had the opportunity to design pack our new kitchen. With this, I really wanted more cooking space. The kitchen in this house is a U-shaped kitchen that we added a pantry to the back of with two arched entrances flanking the oven area. We deleted a ton of cabinets from the original plan, and added in a drywall hood area. Because of this large drywall hood and me wanting more cooking space, we knew we needed the 48” range to finish off this space and give it a grand feeling. And it has done just that!
I have the pleasure of working with Rustic Kitchen and Bath to help create the kitchen of my dreams! They were our preferred kitchen and bath retailer, and also have free same day shipping on most products, an excellent US-based customer service team, and even do price matching. I was able to coordinate with them for the completion of our new build and got our range very fast once the order was placed! Everything with the delivery was seamless, and needless to say I was so happy when it came!
Now to the nitty-gritty! I’ve been using this range for nine months now, so I have had plenty of time to get my true thoughts on our specific range.
First, let’s touch on the features:
- Dual Fuel Range: Solid piece cast-iron grate, handcrafted, high quality Italian Burners, adjustable legs, three layered glass oven, SmoothSlide ball-bearing racks, dual lighting, StayPut Italian Hinges,4,200 18,000 BTUs, durable and built to last.
- Autograph Edition Range: Bring unparalleled style and elegance into the center of your home with ZLINE Autograph Edition Ranges. Create the ultimate kitchen experience with industry-leading performance combined with personalized touches. Choose from a variety of stunning accent finishes like matte black, champagne bronze, and gold that perfectly complement any style.
- DuraSnow® Finish Range: A non-directional, professionally styled stainless steel that is rust, scratch, and fingerprint-resistant. Created to combat the ongoing problem of stainless steel smudging, this innovative finish elevates your kitchen’s potential. Minimize time spent cleaning, and more time spent cooking in your kitchen with DuraSnow®.
My favorite features and honest review on them:
- The size! This range is 48″ wide and includes seven burners. I can cook a variety of foods on the stovetop, and even using my larger pots and pans.
- The price! ZLINE is a brand that has many different appliances that all have something in common: affordable pricing for a luxury appliance. For the size of range we went with, we were able to get the professional kitchen I desired without breaking the bank. Also, this range has been very reliable for us thus far, and I have zero complaints on the functionality.
- High-end feel: The knobs on the face of the range feel heavy duty, are in a gorgeous gold color (other options available on the Rustic Kitchen and Bath site), and are clearly labeled. Additionally, the SmoothSlide ball-bearing racks make putting food into the oven so easy. No screechy sounds or having to reach too far inside a hot oven.
- DuraSnow® Finish Range: If you have kids, this is a feature you absolutely need to consider! This finish allows the range to stay looking so clean and fresh, and I don’t see those darn fingerprints that can get all over stainless steel appliances. It also cleans up so nice if there is any splatter from cooking.
- Cooking settings on the oven: This allows for you to be able to cook things in various ways. I mostly use the Convection Oven setting, but have had to use the High-Bake and Low-Bake settings for a variety of food items. I have not used the broil feature much, as I haven’t had many recipes where I needed to use that. Overall, I tend to cook things on the low end of what the directions call for, and the food turns out great!
Features that took me some getting used to:
- No timer: The ovens I had in the past all had their own timer features built in. Due to this range being more of a professional type of range, there is no timer. There is also no screen to display the temps either. At first I was alarmed by not having these features; however, I have grown to love not having those features! It creates such a timeless look, and I just use a timer on my phone (which I can always hear my phone timer go off cause I carry it with me).
- Preheat time: I tend to use the larger side of our oven because of the size of meals I cook, so with that it does take about 15 minutes to pre-heat. Previously I was used to always using a smaller oven so it heated up quickly, but now I use the larger side which of course will take longer to pre-heat. When I do have smaller baking dishes, I do use the smaller side and it pre-heats very quickly! Now I just always make sure to begin my pre-heat as I’m prepping my meal and that has worked great.
Overall, I can truthfully tell you that I recommend my 48″ ZLINE Dual Fuel Range from Rustic Kitchen and Bath! It has worked amazingly and I have not had a single issue. Plus, in the beginning when I was learning the in’s and out’s of the range, there is a lot of material out there! There is material on the Rustic Kitchen and Bath site, and also many more videos on YouTube for educational purposes.
Don’t forget to visit my social channels to see the many more photos and videos I have of this beauty! If you ever have any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to reach out via social.
