Yes, ZLINE does make refrigerators! In 2021, ZLINE introduced a line of premium French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerators to complement their kitchen appliance offering. Since then, ZLINE has built an extensive line of refrigeration, which includes built-in refrigerators, standard-depth refrigerators, column refrigerators, wine coolers, beverage fridges, refrigerator drawers, and even ice makers. After being available for more than five years at the time of writing, it’s time to ask the question: are ZLINE refrigerators good?
Are ZLINE Refrigerators Good?
ZLINE Refrigerators are good! With sleek styling, contemporary features, and plenty of customization options, ZLINE refrigerators have a lot to offer anyone looking for a premium refrigerator. In this post, we’re taking a look at the design, features, and overall experience we found while using ZLINE’s refrigerators.
ZLINE has always been a brand that takes careful consideration when designing its products. They initially got started making range hoods because their founder could not find one that he liked the design of. So it came as no surprise that ZLINE’s refrigerators look like they were designed from a no-compromises-allowed approach.
We believe that quality design is not actually quality if it means compromising on key features, particularly when it comes to appliances that are used multiple times during any given day, like refrigerators. ZLINE entered the refrigerator market at a time when features like an ice maker were to be expected, so we were pleased to find that ZLINE didn’t just do what was expected of them but made sure they raised the bar with the features they consider necessary on today’s premium refrigerators.
ZLINE Counter-Depth Refrigerators
Counter-depth refrigerators are designed to align closely with standard kitchen countertops, creating a streamlined look that reduces visual bulk compared to traditional full-depth models. By extending only slightly past the cabinetry, they help kitchens feel more open and intentional while still delivering the functionality homeowners expect from a full-size refrigerator.
ZLINE Counter-Depth Refrigerator Design
All of ZLINE’s Counter-Depth Refrigerators feature a French Door i.e. they have a continuous refrigerator space on top accessed by two doors and two drawer-accessed spaces below. At 36 inches wide, the French Door design allows these ZLINE Counter-Depth refrigerators to take up a minimal amount of kitchen real estate while offering 22.5 cubic feet of storage space on the icemaker-only variation, and 21.6 cubic feet on the water dispenser with icemaker variation.ZLINE’s Counter-Depth Refrigerators currently come in fingerprint-resistant classic stainless or black stainless steel and can be outfitted with polished gold, champagne bronze, or matte black accents as part of ZLINE’s Autograph Edition line of appliances. The counter-depth approach makes these refrigerators look great in any kitchen setting.

ZLINE Counter-Depth Refrigerator Features
As we mentioned earlier, all of ZLINE’s Counter-Depth Refrigerators come with an ice maker, and adding a water dispenser costs less than a single cubic foot of storage space. The adjustable shelving feels up to the task, and we weren’t worried about putting the full storage capacity to the test with heavier items. LED lighting made finding late-night snacks easier, and we liked that the interior wasn’t just lit from the top but from the sides as well.A couple of features we didn’t expect to use much were the Super Cool and Super Freeze modes, but it was a nice touch to be able to rapidly chill some beverages and freeze entrees after getting home from the store on a hot day.

ZLINE Built-in Refrigerators
Built-in refrigerators are designed to integrate seamlessly with surrounding cabinetry, creating a flush, cohesive kitchen layout that prioritizes design continuity. Unlike freestanding models, these refrigerators are installed within a cabinet cutout, allowing the appliance to sit level with countertops and panels for a custom, high-end appearance.
ZLINE Built-in Refrigerator Design
The first thing we noticed with ZLINE’s Built-in Refrigeration design was the difference in the approach they took with sizing options. With 30, 36, 60-inch, and 72-inch offerings, there’s much more to consider when it comes to ZLINE’s Built-in Refrigerators since the built-in design does come with the caveat of a reduction in storage capacity. A 60-inch ZLINE Built-in Refrigerator will provide 32.2 cubic feet of storage space, with the 36-inch coming in at 19.6 and the 30-inch at 16.1.A lot of people will opt for the built-in design because of how beautiful these ZLINE Built-in Refrigerators look when they are placed in the kitchen. ZLINE’s Built-in Refrigerators currently come in classic stainless steel with the Autograph Edition gold, champagne bronze, and matte black accents as options. For those of you looking for that true, complete-kitchen look, ZLINE also made these built-in refrigerators available in a panel-ready setup to ensure they match the rest of the kitchen down to the panel and handle design.

ZLINE Built-in Refrigerator Features
ZLINE’s Built-in Refrigerators manage to fit the same adjustable shelving, LED lighting, and rapid chill functionality as their counter-depth counterparts, but with the addition of an internal water and ice dispenser on all sizes that can make up to 4 lbs of ice in a day.The crown gem of ZLINE’s Built-in Refrigerator in terms of features is the consideration to add a twin cooling system with highly-adjustable and precise temperature control for both the refrigerator and freezer sections. With the reduced store capacity, it seems ZLINE understood that these two sections would demand higher capability, with freezer temperatures able to reach as low as -11°F and a wide 35°F-46°F temperature range for the refrigerator.

ZLINE Wine and Beverage Coolers
Wine coolers and beverage refrigerators are specialty refrigeration appliances designed to store drinks at optimal serving temperatures while improving organization and accessibility. Unlike standard refrigerators, these units focus on precise temperature control, vibration reduction, and dedicated shelving to protect wine quality and keep beverages ready to serve.
ZLINE Wine and Beverage Cooler Design
As one of the latest additions to their premier refrigeration suite, ZLINE made it clear that their wine and beverage coolers were designed with a specific purpose in mind by getting straight to the point— to cool wine and beverages. With that in mind, these are great for the man cave, or she shed, and if you’re anything like us, these will be very popular at the office.The most important design distinction between these two coolers is the shelving; the wine cooler features wood shelving, while the beverage cooler features glass shelving. Both units have an incredible storage capacity with room for up to 44 bottles of wine and 154 canned beverages. To answer your question before it’s asked, yes, we really did count it.
As for finishes, ZLINE’s Wine and Beverage Coolers are offered in a variety of styles, including stainless steel with optional Autograph Edition polished gold, champagne bronze, and matte black accents. Both can be installed, built-in, or placed wherever there is room as a freestanding unit, and both look professional in any setting.

ZLINE Wine and Beverage Cooler Features
The features you’ll find on ZLINE’s Wine and Beverage Coolers are where the distinction between the two units becomes more apparent. While the beverage cooler has one temperature zone with a range of 9°F-50°F, the wine cooler boasts two temperature zones with ranges of 39°F-50°F in the upper zone and 50°F-68°F in the lower zone, which allows you to keep both red and white wines at an ideal temperature. Additionally, the wine cooler’s Beechwood racks use smooth-gliding technology to keep wines safe and absorb vibration, while a carbon filter removes odors.Both the Monument Wine and Beverage Coolers benefit from LED lighting and an intuitive LED display that makes adjusting temperature and turning on the child-lock feature quick and easy.

The standard-depth design extends beyond the countertop line to provide expansive interior capacity—often around 28.9 cubic feet—with abundant shelving, adjustable bins, and dual ice makers that together enhance organization and flexibility. They typically include rapid chill and freeze modes for quick cooling, bright LED lighting, and fingerprint-resistant stainless steel or black stainless finishes that complement modern kitchens. These units emphasize practicality and luxury by combining high-capacity storage, built-in dispensers, and premium design touches, with Autograph Edition options available for elevated aesthetics.
