ZLINE Autograph Edition 24" Dishwasher with Gold Handle — Is 51dBa Quiet Enough for Your Kitchen in 2026?

The 45 dB noise level and 304-grade stainless build are strong points, but missing core features like sanitize, delayed start, and WiFi make the $1,336 price hard to justify.

How this product scores for different use cases

Quiet Home
94/100

The 45 dB noise level falls in the good range and suits open-concept kitchens. It stops just short of the excellent threshold of 42 dB or below.

Premium Kitchen
88/100

The 304-grade stainless tub, polished gold handle, and concealed touch panel signal premium positioning. Missing features like WiFi, interior lighting, and delayed start hold it back from top premium scores.

Family Household
78/100

14 place settings and a third rack support daily family loads. Missing sanitize cycle and adjustable racks are gaps that most families expect at this price.

Small Kitchen / Apartment
61/100

The 23.88-inch width fits tight spaces, but this is a built-in model requiring full cabinet integration. It is not a countertop or freestanding option for small kitchens.

Smart Connected
39/100

No WiFi, no Alexa support, and no Google compatibility. Touch controls are the only digital feature present.

Budget Buyer
28/100

At $1,336.58, this dishwasher costs more than three times the budget category ceiling of $400. It is not a fit for cost-conscious buyers.

Our Verdict

This dishwasher runs at 45 dB and holds 14 place settings with a third rack. The 304-grade stainless tub is a real material upgrade over most competitors.

At $1,336.58, the missing features stand out. No sanitize cycle, no delayed start, no adjustable racks, and no WiFi are all gaps you would not expect at this price.

The gold handle and concealed touch panel deliver a premium look. But look-focused buyers will find better-equipped options at or below this price from other brands.

This unit fits a narrow buyer: someone who wants the ZLINE Autograph aesthetic and can accept fewer functional features in exchange for the visual design.

What We Like

  • 45 dB noise level hits the good threshold, below the 46 dB cutoff for near-quiet operation.
  • 14 place settings match the good benchmark and handle full family loads.
  • Third rack is included, adding a dedicated space for utensils and flat items.
  • 304-grade stainless steel tub is a higher material grade than the 400-series used in most competing models.
  • Concealed top touch control panel keeps the front face clean and uncluttered.

What Could Be Better

  • No sanitize cycle, a standard feature on most competing dishwashers above $600.
  • No delayed start function, which is common on dishwashers priced above $500.
  • No WiFi connectivity, while brands like Bosch and LG offer app control at similar price points.
  • No adjustable racks, a feature standard on premium dishwashers in this price range.
  • No interior lighting, which most premium dishwashers above $1,000 include as a base feature.

Standout Features

45 dB noise level
Scores in the good range per benchmarks. The category average for premium dishwashers sits between 44 and 48 dB. Most models near $1,000 land at 44 to 46 dB.
304-grade stainless steel tub
Higher corrosion resistance than 400-series stainless used in most dishwashers under $800. This grade is less common and typically reserved for high-end models.
Third rack included
Standard 2-rack configs are the norm under $700. A third rack adds dedicated loading space for flat items, lids, and utensils without using the main basket.

The specs list 45 decibels. That is in the good range. Most people find dishwashers at or below 46 dB easy to talk over in the next room.

How many dishes can it hold at once?

It holds 14 place settings. That covers plates, glasses, and utensils for a family of four with room to spare.

Does it connect to my phone or smart home devices?

No. It does not have WiFi and does not work with Alexa or Google. Controls are limited to the top touch panel on the door.

Does it have a sanitize cycle for baby items or cutting boards?

No sanitize cycle is listed in the specs. If sanitizing dishes is important to you, check competing models that include this feature.

What are the dimensions and will it fit a standard cabinet opening?
