Bosch or Zline Gas Range?

BA Sail
3 years ago

Hello - Doing a major home reno in Canada. Looking for a >$3,500 30" gas range (potentially dual-fuel but may need panel upgrade). I use the burners about 2xs/day in a variety of ways and the oven about 4 x/week. I've purchased a Bosch fridge and dishwasher. Love their look but not pleased with the look of Bosch's range. Noticed Zline makes a handsome and affordable model but haven't seen one "live". Which would you choose in gas - the Bosch or Zline and why? Open to other suggestions. Thanks!


Bosch - HGI8056UC (can get deal on a retired 54UC): https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/bosch-32-4-8-cu-ft-true-convection-5-burner-slide-in-gas-range-hgi8056uc-stainless-steel/13796940

    Struggling with the same decision (Bosch vs ZLine 30" range) and came across your question. Which one did you go with? Would love to hear how it's going. Especially interested in hearing how the Zline oven performs (lots of complaints online) and ease of cleaning Bosch's SS top and Zline's black enamel top.

    I ordered a BOSCH because Zline is made in China. Zale appliances recommended the Bosch. I also saw a lot of complaints about Zline after it is bought. I hope it will be alright because it cost 3,999 plus taxes.

    I bought a Zline 36" gas stove with electric oven, and have had it for over a month now. I've hosted a few dinner parties with it and can't say enough good things about it. Just this past weekend, I had a few friends over and used 5 out of the 6 burners at the same time, as well as the oven, without issue. I've made homemade bread in the oven several times now and it always come out great (highly recommend using a pizza stone with it). I don't have an extra oven thermometer, but just judging by how well it cooks, I'd say the temp is pretty accurate.

    I'm pretty jazzed about it and looking to replace my vent hood soon with a Zline hood as well, to match my oven. From what I read online, their oven parts are sourced from around the world. I can confirm the burner system they use is manufactured in Italy (says it underneath the burner) but the rest of it is made in China, I'm pretty sure. I was wary of that as well at first, but I'm over the moon with this purchase. Nearly half the cost of a Bosch, arrived within a week, and I've been using it nearly every day without issue.

    In more ways than one, this oven is so much better than the previous one that was in my house (even just the way it looks, alone, some of my friends thought I paid a lot more for it than I did). I sound like a fan boy right now, but I just feel like I definitely got my money's worth and wanted to share my experience.

    I love my gas range from zline. I did a compete remodel last year and ended up going with zline kitchen appliances. My wife and I often host parties and wanted something to showoff a bit without breaking the bank. Our range hood with built-in bluetooth and our gas range are literally conversation starters! They work fantastic as well. We have had no issues.

    I purchased the durasnow appliances for my kitchen about 6 months ago and I love them. They look beautiful and work great. I am professional chef and I put them to work a lot! The 48" range is consistent and powerful. The range hood provides a lot of ventilation and keeps the air clean. I am very satisfied with zline.
