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!

    Thanks for an awesome giveaway! Our faucet has leaked for what seems like forever and we just can’t seem to find the time/money/expertise to have it fixed mainly because of the bottleneck it creates as we should just replace the entire thing.

    Turn off (opposite sex and pretty much anyone): Low self esteem (but that doesn’t mean I like over confidence either.). Low self esteem is constantly make excuses for not taking charge and changing things/making themselves happier.

    Oh, I love this sink! It would soooooo come in handy when cleaning off my hands that are covered in ketchup, mac-n-cheese and applesauce! (Love 2 year olds!)

    Switching gears: big turnoff= clipping toenails! Ugh, makes me shutter just thinking about it! :)

    How cool is that? I’ve been dreaming about something like this faucet forever! My fiance would no longer have to turn on the faucet for me when I’m handling raw chicken!

    As for turnoffs, my big one is ‘suave’ guys. I put that in ” because they never really are… just creepy!

    Wow, what a faucet! I love it and the brushed nickel finish would look great in our kitchen–we just updated the icky oak and gold to a beadboard and brushed nickel look…except the faucet still needs updating.

    I have never been able to handle slobs. You know, the kind where putting away used towels somehow equates to ‘leaving in the middle of the living room, under a pile of dirty underwear (thanks, Ex!). Luckily (non-slob!) hubby is able to keep right up with my compulsive cleaning :)
