KrausMerlin Transitional Pull-Down Single Handle Kitchen Faucet in Matte Black, KPF-1674MB

Absolutely love the champagne color and it’s a very high quality faucet.

Love it! Sleek design, high quality. Easier to install than I expected. Worth every penny. Fast, damage-free delivery.

This is a late review. I went through 3 kitchen faucets before I found this one & I'm so glad I found it! Nothing else looked good. All of my appliances are white & stainless steel. This faucet tied everything together. Love the design & the sprayer. Perfect!

Installation was fairly easy. Did it in less than 40 minutes. You will need to torque down on the water connections, since they have rubber gaskets inside the hoses. The faucet is very stream-lined and modern...a beautiful addition to our modern kitchen. There is a slight mismatch between the steel of the main stalk and the Arch segment, but it is mostly in the rear of the faucet so it is not very noticeable...looks like a slight quality control issue at Kraus....they need stricter machining practices. I was surprised to discover that there actually IS a magnetic dock for the head. The Kraus website, and the majority of people reviewing this faucet seem to think there is none, but it is definitely there...you can feel it, it clicks into position, and it works beautifully (it is not just the gravity from the weight). One issue though,..after use, the faucet tends to continue dripping slightly for about 3 or 4 minutes...it's a little annoying, and it occurs about 60% of the time...its fairly random...Again a slight quality control issue at Kraus, as I believe this is well documented by other reviewers. The surface finish is fantastic...no spotting or staining, and the surface finish between the body of the faucet and the head are perfectly matched. The head feels substantial too, not plastic-feeling at all. Overall, due to its appearance and powerful-functioning sprayer, I have decided to keep this faucet despite a few minor gripes.

I have now had this faucet for one year. I have had no issues with it at all. Performs great. No leaks or problems with installation. The hose retracts nicely. I love the curve to it and how pretty it is. The handle is perfect as there is a window sill that is right behind it but the handle doesn't bump it as it ends in the vertical position. I love my large black sink and this faucet goes perfectly with it. The only thing I would change is how the toggle function works to change it to spray. A previous faucet I had would go back to the normal stream once the faucet was turned off. This toggle stays in the spray position even after the water is turned off. My husband forgets to toggle back to the normal stream and I have gotten spritz with water that bounces from the high stream of the spray. Some people might like that it stays on spray but I would prefer it "reset" to the normal stream once the water is turned off. Otherwise this faucet is perfect, great buy!

Works great, beautiful, great water flow and water doesn’t make marks on the stainless steel. Soooo glad I chose this!

I bought this to replace one of those tall pull-down faucets that are all the rage. I like this one much better. I love the much cleaner design of this faucet as compared to the monstrosity that I had before. Also, the spray is not as forceful, which to me is a feature. The old faucet would peel the skin right off of an apple if you weren't careful! This one has a much more reasonable spray. Also, I like how the handle works - straight up is cold, towards the front is hot. I can tell immediately by looking what the water temperature will be.Now, I read a number of reviews of people complaining that the spray head wouldn't fully retract back into the neck by itself. Well, it isn't designed to work that way folks. Just use your hand, which is holding the spray head anyway, and guide it back into the neck. Also, my faucet does have magnets to hold the spray head in place, but they aren't powerful enough to suck it back into position. Also, do note that the design of the faucet isn't in the form of a circular tube, so when the faucet is turned to one side or the other the neck doesn't line up with the base. But, that is easy enough to fix, just turn it back so that it lines up and voila!

We have had the Kraus Merlin spot free stainless faucet installed for almost a month now, and have been very happy with it. The only negative aspect was removal of our old leaky Delta, but installing the Kraus was surprisingly easy after following the instructions, and not a drop has leaked since. The styling of this faucet is similar to the Delta Berkley, which we were going to get at first. Even though we were unfamiliar with this company, we took a chance with this one for $50 less and couldn't be happier. It seems every bit as solid as the Delta, and maybe better in some ways. The spray action, extension and retraction work better than our old one. The spot free stainless finish really lives up to its name and always looks great. Just wish the rest of the old sink also looked this nice. The warranty is lifetime, which is good because that's how long we plan to hang on to this gem. Glad to have discovered Kraus!

Bought this as a used item for less than half the price. Only issue with the used item was the box was damaged. Didn't matter as the faucet was still new and it looks and functions beautifully. The stream and spray is stronger than our other faucet. We bought this because our current faucet angled downwards which cause excessive spraying all over our counter. This faucet angles slightly and we no longer have the problem over water splashing all over our sink or counters. The rotation is smooth and the pull down retracts really nicely. Quality of this piece is excellent, highly recommend it.

I was looking for black and silver and couldn't find one in any of the usual stores, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Found this one ... it's solid, beautiful, I love how high it is and it doeznt leak! It's sleek and stylish! Before and after pic attached.

Beautiful and Quiet.

Excellent robinet. Très élégant. La poignée rétractable est tres bien ajustée et rentre bien après avoir été tirée. Très bonne qualité.

Me encantaron estás llaves, muy prácticas y hermosas, no se manchan ni se quedan las marcas de agua o manos.
