Our Review
The Zline RSM-W-36-BS 29 cu. ft. Side-by-Side is a 28.9 cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerator from Zline, sitting in the premium ($3,500+) range. With a 17.1 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 11.8 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for large families.
What stands out
Build quality is the headline. Zline models use metal drawer rails, soft-close hinges, and consistent interior LED lighting that you don't get in the mainstream tier. Door seals are noticeably more substantial — a small detail that translates to better long-term temperature stability.
Layout and capacity
Exterior dimensions are 35.8" W × 69.9" H × 33.5" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 28.9 cu. ft., split 17.1 fresh / 11.8 freezer.
Bottom line
For shoppers who plan to own a fridge for 15+ years and value build quality and design over headline features, the Zline RSM-W-36-BS 29 cu. ft. Side-by-Side earns the premium it asks for.
