Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Easily Turned On

Fab Freebie: Easily Turned On

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

So you saw me install this puppy earlier today, and just as we promised we’re back to give you a shot at winning one of your own. The Delta Pilar kitchen faucet with Touch 2O Technology is pretty much any DIY-lover or enthusiastic chef’s best friend because, just as the commercial below demonstrates, you can wash paint, dirt, eggs, chicken goo or any other home-improvement or cooking related mess off of your hands without ever getting it on your purdy fixture.

We’ve actually had ours installed for a week now and I’ve found it extremely helpful even when doing simple tasks like the dishes (yes, I’m usually in charge of the dishes, but Sherry vacuums so it’s pretty fair around here). Rather than having to reach over to turn the handle on and off, I can interrupt the water by just quickly tapping the spout anywhere, and the technology’s even smart enough to know when you’re gripping the faucet to move it (as we do from basin to basin in our double sink) so it doesn’t interpret that maneuver as an on/off trigger. Consider us impressed.

For more info about how this baby works and how we got it installed, check out this morning’s post (and don’t forget to read through the comments where we address pretty much every detail that you can think of). And if you’re dying to get your grubby mitts on one of them, here’s how:

  • PRIZE: A Delta Pilar Pull-Down faucet with Touch 2O Technology in the finish of your choice (chrome or stainless)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “TOUCH ME” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …spill the beans about some of your personal turn offs when it comes to the opposite sex. Poor hygiene? Too full of themselves? Obsessed with his or her chihuahua? Spill it –  but let’s try to keep things PG-ish if we can.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 10th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in North America
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    BAD PERSONAL HYGIENE…ick! Honestly, one of the things that attracted me to my husband was he’s cleaner than me! :) I hate it when guys don’t clean out their ears, or trim their stray hairs(ears, nose, eyebrows etc). GROSS!!! :)

    Turn offs – well, I guess I’m in happy shape “maritally speaking”! I just sat here for several minutes trying to think of something my husband does that drives me crazy after 16 years and I couldn’t think of anything!! :D

    poor foot hygiene, especially during summer months! Guys (and gals) if you are going to wear flip flops, make sure you don’t have gunk under your toenails and soften up those cracked heels! ;)

    It bugs me when people wear their pants well below the cut off line! I promise you don’t get involuntarily associated with The Man if you wear pants that fit. Your Atari underwear will have to remain a little secret between you and your blog. Please. Everyone says thanks.

    It is a turnoff when girls are constantly worried about their appearance and can’t be seen without makeup (even in front of their signifant other).

    Ugh, my pet peeve is smoking. It’s especially bad when you walk out of a building where the ‘no-smoking-within-15-feet’ rule applies, and yet…people are smoking 4 feet away from the door. Ick.

    um..I’m pretty easy going, but guess it wouldn’t work if common sense was a weakness. I can’t handle that…does that make me arrogant?..sure hope not.

    I really want this faucet, but was a little skeptical..so glad you guys have tried it out!

    I’m happily married, but I have to say that guys who smoke, dip, have gorilla-like body hair or in any way arrogant are turnoffs. It also bugs me when a guy takes longer to get ready than I do. I once dated a guy that took literally 2.5 hours to shower, put gel in his hair and get dressed. It was soooooo annoying.

    Definite numero uno turn-off is arrogance. Seems to me that there’s a fine line between arrogance (very unattractive and confidence (very attractive) and it’s decided by honesty and self-awareness (also very attractive).

    Nothing turns me off faster than mean-spiritedness. I know a boatload of men (and people in general) who think it’s funny to put down or make fun of other people. I can handle cocky and to a slight degree, I can tolerate arrogance (though it does annoy me) but be mean or mean spirited toward others? It’s all over baby.

    TOUCH ME! I’m totally turned off if a guy is more hygiene and grooming high-maintenance than I am. I consider myself a medium to low maintenance kind of gal so if it takes a guy longer to get ready than it takes me, or if they have more products/steps, they’re outta here. I’m ready to get out the door and start the day already!
