Wife wants one of the 48" autograph units. Seems like overkill to me but happy wife yada yada.

Any positive or negative experiences?

I'm still curious if there's a Viking outlet in MS.

We have the 36”. The only thing I don’t like about it is the way the knobs adjust temp. It goes from start to high power and I guess medium heat with a positive stop to the medium heat. There is no positive stop for low and simmer options, so if you go too low your heat turns off and you have to relight your burner.

Do not do it. 3 friends have them and all have had problems. Two friends have had them replaced. Take very long to preheat. Knobs melting. One set off the carbon monoxide monitor in their house. They look nice, but based on what I know, Zline can kick rocks.

I had the same issue. You have to adjust the flow. YouTube it and set the low flow where you want it.



It has been fine for me. Some random hot spots but it all works very well. Had it 6 months and no complaints so far

Did a lot of research last year and Z Line, while a very nice looking, affordable stove, has issues with knobs, heat variations, etc.

We were looking at 36" ranges but in the end settled for a much higher end 30" as large ovens have a wider variation in temperature and the real estate on the top is all dependent on the pots and pans you use.

It is really a waste of space and money if you don't cook a lot.

But hey, they look amazing so it's all in what you want. And don't forget the exhaust hood when pricing!

Idk about the ranges, but i have one of their hoods.

I needed one with zero branding as I did not like the matching hood for the LG kitchen appliances.

There's a trick to remove the restriction to bump cfms way beyond 400.

Hood has been great.




My next kitchen will have ZERO cooktop.

There's no point. Single induction burners can outperform anything for a home kitchen. For the price of the cooktop that I do have, I could have two commercial and six or seven non-commercial induction burners.

Thanks for the tip. That was my only frustration about the stove. I guess I have some adjusting to do.
