About ZLINE
ZLINE Kitchen and Bath is a U.S.-based, family-owned appliance company that has been designing kitchen appliances and plumbing fixtures for nearly two decades, with design, distribution, and customer support run out of the United States. The lineup spans range hoods, stovetops, ranges, dishwashers, column and built-in refrigeration, and bathroom fixtures, built around the idea that premium materials and refined styling should not require a premium-only price tag.
The company backs its range hood fan motors and Italian stovetop burners with lifetime warranties, an unusually long coverage term for the category, and offers finish options like matte black and polished gold across its higher-end Autograph Edition line so a kitchen suite can match rather than mix brands. In our own testing, the ZLINE DW-SN-24 built-in dishwasher stood out for a fully integrated top-control panel and a shorter-than-standard cabinet height, both details aimed at the same suite-matching, disappear-into-the-cabinetry design goal the brand applies across its range and hood lineup.

Why we recognized ZLINE
The DIYRated Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our hands-on category reviews. ZLINE earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, put to work on real jobs, and judged on merit.
ZLINE products we rated highly
ZLINE DW-SN-24 Top Control Built-In Dishwasher
The fully integrated top controls hide the panel inside the door edge, so the cabinet run reads as one uninterrupted line, the look kitchen designers spec when a dishwasher needs to disappear into a suite. The satin stainless panel resists fingerprints better than mirror-polish stainless and matches ZLINE's range and hood finishes for buyers building a matched kitchen. At 32.38 inches tall it is shorter than most full-size dishwashers, which solves real retrofit problems in older kitchens with low counters, and in our review it carried a stainless tub at the lowest price of any 24-inch machine in the roundup.

- Backs range hood fan motors and Italian stovetop burners with lifetime warranties, well beyond the coverage typical of the category.
- Designs across ranges, hoods, dishwashers, refrigeration, and bathroom fixtures with consistent finish options, so a kitchen can be outfitted as a matched suite rather than mixed brands.
- The DW-SN-24 dishwasher we tested uses fully integrated top controls and a shorter-than-standard 32.38-inch height, both aimed at disappearing into cabinetry rather than standing out on the front of a kitchen.
- Offers Autograph Edition finish customization, including matte black, polished gold, and champagne bronze, that carries across the wider appliance lineup.
- American-based design, distribution, and customer support rather than an import-only operation.
