We built a home recently and I loved the look of the Zline 36” range. We bought an appliance package but have had multiple claims on the range and in the single wall oven. The gas range’s igniter keeps shorting out so I have to light it manually. The oven takes a long time to heat because if its size I’m thinking, but it also has NO self cleaning option. The was ovens’s fans have needed to be replaced twice because of a terrible squeal sound when turning in the oven. The monument dishwasher hasn’t left the dishes dry from the beginning even with the heated dry option on. Also the snow stainless steel stretches very easily! I am very disappointed in the functionality, durability and quality of Zline appliances. If I had to choose again Zline would not be one of my options.
