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!

    Don’t TOUCH ME or come near to me if you were smoking.

    Bonus Question: A pet-peeve is office co-workers who don’t have the decency to say a simple good morning and pretend they didn’t hear you say it, but, if they need some help or information or are struck in the elevator with you they will talk to you as if you’re their best friend.

    My biggiest turn off about the opposite sex (men, aka my hubster) would have to be brushing their teeth in the buff.

    My husband is over 6′ tall… put a towel on man!

    As for men in general — ones with a “I am God’s gift to women” complex. :)

    Turn offs…when working in the kitchen, whether on a project or just cooking, my husband always puts the trash in the sink, it never makes it in the garbage can. Maybe a new faucet would help him pick up after himself.

    It drives me nuts when my husband leaves a dirty glass/dish/utensil in the sink. Right next to the dishwasher. One word: frustrating.

    Luckily, he makes up for it by being a sweetie-pie.

    Nothing worse than a significant other that is clingy and acts like he/she can’t do anything, you now, acting like they are 2 years old and needs mommy/daddy to do everything for them. That’s the worst.

    omg, i’m in love :-)
    this is the most awesome faucet i have ever seen – and its clean, simple, modern lines – yep, even if i don’t win (fingers crossed though) i think i may have to invest in one!
    what turns me off in a guy is if he is too cocky – i mean, sure its great to be confident….but showing off every chance you get and worse, if they show off by making fun of someone else – nope, just doesn’t do it for me.

    In general, I’d have to agree that bad hygiene is a no-go. I don’t really have to worry about turn-offs anymore though, just my husbands sometimes bad habits (like leaving lights on!).
