How they compare
Our selection method
The brand filter returned 56 priced listings. After grouping listings for the same model, the pool used for this guide holds 14 distinct ZLINE dishwashers, and the guide covers 12 of them. The shortlist covers both 24-inch and 18-inch widths, factory and custom panel options, and the various dB statements in the listings. Every specification comes from the pool file or the maker's published information; where the seller does not state a value, the guide says so. Prices shown are the live listing prices with their captured times. This guide was prepared from catalog and listing data, and no one at the site has used any of the units.
What matters when choosing
Width: 18-inch vs 24-inch
ZLINE offers both 24-inch and 18-inch dishwashers in the current catalog. Ten of the fourteen pool models are 24-inch; four are 18-inch compacts. ENERGY STAR defines a standard-capacity dishwasher as more than eight place settings and six serving pieces, and a compact model as less. If your cabinet opening is 18 inches, compare the 18-inch Tallac, Autograph, and black stainless compacts; otherwise a 24-inch model gives more capacity and, in most of this guide, a third rack.
Sound specs: what dB figures tell you
Each ZLINE listing in the current pool either states a dB figure or range, or omits sound data entirely. Two models list up to 44 dB, three list 45 to 49 dB, six list 50 dB and up, and three listings give no figure. These are numbers printed in the seller listings; this site has not measured any of them. A lower figure means a lower stated sound level, but the quality of operation is not addressed here.
Finishes and panel options
The pool includes satin stainless, black stainless, copper, white matte, oil-rubbed bronze, black steel, and custom panel ready. The white matte models come with a gold handle or a champagne bronze handle. The Custom Panel Ready Autograph is the only pick designed for a separate cabinet front; all others arrive with a factory panel. If finish matching is the goal, decide between a factory panel and a custom panel first.
Tub material and third rack
Ten of the fourteen pool listings state a stainless steel tub; four do not. The four without a stated tub material are the two white matte Autograph models, the Custom Panel Ready Autograph, and the black steel Monument. A third rack is listed on ten of the fourteen models and provides a shallow upper level for utensils. If you load many small items, a third rack can keep them off the main racks.
Energy and water use
ENERGY STAR certified dishwashers must meet consumption limits from the current specification that took effect July 19, 2023. Standard-capacity models must use no more than 240 kWh per year and 3.2 gallons per cycle; compact models must use no more than 155 kWh per year and 2.0 gallons per cycle. The ZLINE listings in this guide do not state an ENERGY STAR certification, so check the EnergyGuide label if efficiency is a priority. The Department of Energy's Appliance and Equipment Standards Program sets the procedures behind that label.
Questions
Is there an 18-inch ZLINE dishwasher with a third rack?
Yes. Three of the four 18-inch models in the current pool list a third rack: the Tallac Copper, the Autograph Edition Tallac built-in, and the Autograph Edition white matte compact. The fourth, the black stainless compact, does not state a third rack but lists up to 44 dB, the same sound figure as the full-size Monument model.
Which ZLINE dishwasher has the lowest stated sound level?
The up to 44 dB figure appears on two models in the current pool: the 24-inch Monument 3rd Rack with auto door open drying and black steel panel, and the 18-inch black stainless compact. Three Autograph models list 45 to 49 dB, six list 50 dB and up, and three listings give no dB figure. These values come from the listings, not from measurements.
Do all ZLINE dishwashers have a stainless steel tub?
No. Ten of the fourteen models in the current pool list a stainless steel tub. The listings that do not state a tub material are the two white matte Autograph models, the Custom Panel Ready Autograph, and the black steel Monument with auto door open drying. If a stainless tub is a requirement, confirm it is stated in the listing before ordering.
Can a custom kitchen panel be installed on any ZLINE dishwasher?
No. Only one model in the current pool is described as Custom Panel Ready: the Autograph Edition 24-inch Monument Series top touch control tall tub. The other picks come with factory finishes such as satin stainless, black stainless, copper, white matte, or oil-rubbed bronze. If you are building a flush-front kitchen, start with the Custom Panel Ready model rather than adapting a factory panel.
Why do some listings not include a dB figure?
Some ZLINE listings simply do not give a sound number. In the current pool, three 24-inch models omit it: the stainless Monument with third rack and the two oil-rubbed bronze top control models. If you need a published sound figure, choose one that lists up to 44 dB, 45 to 49 dB, or 50 dB and up, or check the maker's specification sheet before ordering.
