Berghoff Merlin Corded Vacuum Cleaner: All-in-One Cleaning Solution

sandra richardson: I bought this hoover for my static caravan after it was recommended by my son who had one for his tourer. It has great suction, stores away easily and is easy to empty. If there was any negative, it would be that the cord could be a little bit longer, but it’s not the end of the world if I have to move the plug a couple of times. Would highly recommend this vacuum for small flat or caravan.

Karen B.: My husband really likes this vaccum because it picks stuff up the first time he goes over it. No back and forth passes to pick up whatever is tracked in.

Melanie Desrosiers: For several years I've been using the Bissell Featherweight. It's a decent stick vac, but doesn't pick up everything and has low suction power. I saw this stick vac and it is almost a spitten image of the Bissell. It's pretty much the same design, just a bit heavier 4.4 lbs instead of 2.2 lbs. The filter is better in the merlin and the suction is amazing. I have a no pile 6 ft runner in front of the island in the kitchen and you can feel it pull the rug up slightly as you go over it. I have a 1500 sq ft house and only empty the dust cup twice, mainly because I have 3 cats one with long fur. It is so light and easy to use especially with the fact I have severe lower back issues. I would buy this vac again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it. .

Ohio Farmer: My heavy old Rainbow vacuum was getting tiresome to lug around so I decided to get a stick vac for quick clean ups, vacuuming furniture, etc. I previously had a Hoover Lynx lithium ion stick vacuum that I really liked but the battery would die halfway through a cleaning, so I decided to go with a corded stick vac this time.

I decided on the Merlin because of all the reviews mentioning how great the suction is. Well, the suction is great, I can't complain there. It is also very lightweight and easy to use. The issue I found is that the motor housing gets very hot after about 10 minutes of use. I realize this isn't a full size vacuum meant to clean an entire house at once but 10 minutes? And I'm not talking warm, I mean HOT.

After looking around online I saw several other people mention this and the concensus was basically don't use it for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. For the price (compared to similar stick vacuums) I think this is ridiculous. I still like the overall cleaning performance but the next stick vacuum I purchase will not be from this brand.

Amanda: This is a brilliant hoover. Lightweight even my 4yr old grandson loves to use it. It works on hardwood floors and carpets. Suction is great. Price is brilliant for what you get. Totally recommend. Even picks up pet hair which is why i actually got it.

Dave, Essex: Brilliant suction, but quick to fill up container if there is aything bulkier than fine dust. Emptying is quick and simple, so not too much inconvenience. Really light and easy to handle. Delivered with part missing, but rectidied immediately by seller. Good service.

Salsa: This is an excellent item and I was recommended it by several people on a Facebook page set up for people with touring caravans. There were more comments about this unit than any other and all were positive. Despite its relatively low price the suction is incredible. It offers the use of a hand held with the advantage of being able to add on different ends and a long handle without compromising the suction. There are wheels on the larger end making it manoeuvrable. The end head doesn't swivel - but that's normal in this style of unit. It is very compact and easy to store. Not being rechargeable means its light and very easy to use. There is a 2 year warranty although the leaflet hadn't noted the Activation code I just used the codes I found on the receipt and it worked without any issues. I don't doubt you can't treat it roughly or heavy handidly but in truth I need light weight and it is well built even so - its not a walking stick. For a caravan or anywhere where space is restricted its ideal - certainly the suction puts the hand held stick Dyson to shame - we have one at home and the price is a quarter so I'm very impressed. I thought I would miss cordless but...

Tobias S:Tobias S:: Nachdem ich mehrere Tage mit mir gehadert habe ob es nun ein Zyklonstaubsauger mit oder ohne Akku sein soll entschied mich für den Arnica Merlin. Ich wollte nicht mehr als 70€ ausgeben und er sollte robuster sein als mein letzter (Cleamaxx Hand Zyklonstaubsauger) der nach 2 Wochen ausseinander viel.

Mein erster Eindruck nach dem ich den Staubsauger auspackte war gut. Verarbeitung recht robust und auch durchdacht. Der Zusammenbau ist sehr einfach. Vom Design her könnten die Farben weniger an Spielzeug erinnern. Bin eher ein Freund von metallischem Aussehen.

Pro:
- Saugsleistung stark und saugt auch noch wenn der Filter arg verschmutzt ist.
- Dopperlfilter mit Hepa Filter
- Kein Staubverteiler
- Lautstärke ok
- Verarbeitung robuster als es erscheint (falls etwas kaputt geht füge ich es hinzu)
- schön leicht

Contra:
- Bodendüse nicht zu den Seiten schwenkbar
- Anschaltknopf am unteren Ende des Griffs
- Rollen an der Bodendüse aus Hartkunststoff, die zwar keine Kratzer machen aber ein schleifendes Geräusch erzeugen

Fazit: Kleiner, handlicher und robuster Staubsauger mit Super Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. ...
