Customer Reviews for KRAUS Merlin Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet with Dual Function Sprayhead in Spot Free Stainless Steel

This faucet is a looker! It really is beautiful with smooth lines and a modern look. Mine is white and it looks sharp against a distressed tile. The lever is easier than some to operate, up is cold and down is hot. The flow can be adjusted by moving the handle in (off) or out (full on). It is aerated so you probably use less water when rinsing. The spray is controlled by a button on the underside of the nozzle so it is out of sight but convenient. The price I paid on Wayfair was very reasonable so shop around for a sale. The packaging was robust with little chance of shipping damage. All necessary parts were included

This is a beautiful faucet. Have only had it installed one day but really love it. Very simple and elegant design... makes our older kitchen look great. Only downside was during installation, our installer had to go get supply lines from hardware store. The ones that were included had small o-rings in them that allowed small leaks. Once supply lines were replaced it worked perfectly.

i love this faucet! It looks great, everyone is saying how nice it looks. Great quality, I love it! i definitely made the right decision when choosing this design. Great price too!

Very pleased with this purchase! This faucet is sleek and screams high quality to the touch. Very durable

I just bought this faucet in the black and the handyman who installed it stated that he felt it was well constructed. I like the ease with which you can switch from hot to cold water and the ease of turning the sprayer off and on (unlike a previous faucet where that switch was smaller and got stuck). The spray is strong but not so strong that it shocks you (as the previous one did to my guests!) or rebounds off the side of the sink. It does drip a solitary drip sometimes after you turn it off, but then stops. It's a simple sleek design and the sprayer moves smoothly out of the faucet and docks back securely.

I am very happy with this faucet! Looks beautiful and very well made. I was disappointed at first that the spray attachment was plastic but it doesn't look cheap and works great!

Have used the new faucet for a week and love the ease of handling. So far, so great!

It is a. Very sharp looking faucet and so far works great.

Very happy with the quality of both the sink and faucet. They feel very sturdy.

overall a nice faucet, however, the water stream is such that it splashes at almost any setting. Aerator really not putting much air into water stream!

Very easy to install, simple clear instructions. It came with correct hoses. Looks great, operates perfectly. I like the non-shiny finish so water spots don't show like a polished chrome one would.

Received this faucet today, and it looks just great. My previous Kraus model is nickle based which didn't last long. Taking out the old faucet isn't easy and a 30-min task. On the other hand, installing this baby is a walk in the park. I didn't even bother to replace the water hose (as they are still in good shape). The outcome is pretty, and the only thing I doesn't like is the spray head won't stay from the last setting (which is avail in my old model Kraus model). Anyway, I like the construction of this one better.

I purchased this faucet via a picture and reviews and really didn't know what to expect. When I received this package I was so excited to see the real thing. After seeing the faucet installed I was ver impressed with how it looked in my kitchen. I love the finish and it's very easy to use. I also love how the water flows because it doesn't splash all over the sink and counters. Love this product so far!

Stylish faucet but, for me, water pressure (volume) on the light side. Have had Grohe & Kohler in the past (Kohler was same style) and both seemed better quality with, certainly, better water volume. Still a nice faucet.

My husband installed this faucet within about 45 minutes. No problems at all. The instructions were very detailed and accurate. Finish is absolutely spot free. I am so glad we purchased this faucet as our old one was so difficult to move from side to side and even turn on the water. This faucet works smoothly and you can really tell it is high quality and should last for years.

I am pleased with my new faucet. Works well and looks good. I only have one complaint, whoever put the faucet together did not put the plastic insert #17 in the the proper way, had a problems after installing with the retable hose.

Very durable and overall a great faucet. Love the cold/hot water handle.

Looks great, easy to install, inexpensive, matches my appliances, my kids can't break it, my wife does not hate it, water comes out. Meets all the basic criteria.

Pleasantly surprised to find that the installation was super easy compared to taking out the moen that it replaced. The height and placement work well with our double sink and even though I was concerned about splashing due to the height, this turned out to be a non-issue. The spot-free feature is amazing compared to the chrome that we had. The only improvements that I can see deal with the hot/cold emblem is not viewable in low light but I'm sure this will work itself out once I'm used to moving the lever for this faucet, which is forward and back, compared to the old one, which was left to right. The water output from the stream is somewhat different than what I expected. It seems that the Head where the water exits somehow slows the water flow down compared to the spray. When I removed the head, the water that comes out of the hose is quite powerful, so I'm not sure what's happening. I'll ask customer service. Love the faucet though!

It is a very solid product and very easy to install.

We had this faucet installed with our new black granite sink and the combo is beautiful. The plumber remarked that Kraus made a great product. It cleans up easily with just a soft towel.

I have used the faucet for a month and found it works well for my sink. My plumber was able to put it in easily. My one concern (as shown to me by my plumber) is that the only separation between the spray hose and the faucet connections is plastic which may not last long if the pull down function is used a lot. It isn’t easy to push the hose back into the faucet and you have to shut off the water before the sprayer part clicks completely into place. The faucet is easy to clean and the handle moves easily.

beautiful and looks amazing in the new kitchen

Happy with the quality and features of this unit.

This is Brilliant product complements my Kitchen very well, extremely sturdy.

So far so good. Have only had it less than a week. I like how the handle is designed and that it only goes as high as 90 degrees, instead of some that require to be able to go away from you. Looks is sleek. The hose seems to work pretty good, but due to where our pipes are, the large plastic piece that is attached to the hose within the underneath cabinet gets hung up on the pipes occasionally (I think I may be able to fix this is I put some type of flat sheet or something to keep the hose off of the pipes and give it something smooth to slide up and down against). Flow is good enough for our needs. Overall bought for look and understanding that it uses mostly brass parts inside and not plastic (which other brands all seem to use in this same price range). Will try to update my review after a few months of use. The plumber we used also said we did good to get a Kraus due to its higher quality parts.

Finally found the right faucet for our kitchen sink. Worth every penny. Elegant touch to the kitchen and relatively simple installation. We already owned a Kraus sink and couldn't be happier with both.

This is the second Kraus kitchen faucet I've purchased. I like the sleek design and sturdy feel of the faucet, handle and spray mechanism. We mounted without the deck plate on both granite and quartz countertops, it looks great!

I'm very happy with my purchase. I decided to look for a less well known brand and I'm so happy I did. The quality and design is great. My plumber actually called the faucet a work of art.
