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!

    Touch me!!!

    Hmmm… This is probably a simple answer, but bad breath equates to a definite “don’t touch me”.

    Please oh please let this be my week!! My better half and I are buying a house that needs a kitchen redo. This is an amazing faucet, but totally out of our budget. I’m crossing my fingers!

    I can’t stand sloppy eaters and poor table manners. It doesn’t matter how fit and trim someone is, if a man is gluttonous and shoving food in his face it is a big turn off for me.

    I’d have to say it’s a tie between someone who’s a smoker and someone who is just down right disrespectful to anyone and everyone they come into contact with.

    TOUCH ME (please?)

    Turn off… hmmm… I guess it’s going to be generalized stinkiness. Not BO, strictly speaking, because there are times when man-pheromones actually seem to do the job nature intended them for (luring in us breeding females). I’m talking about not washing thoroughly and frequently kind of stinkiness, dirty ears/dirty toenails/dirty between-the-toe-spaces/dirty “dirty parts” kind of stinkiness. Yuck.

    Not really a turn off but a definite pet peeve is when they do not thoroughly clean the sink out after shaving!

    This isn’t really a turnoff… more like a weird tidbit I just found out about my husband — he’s been hiding a beanie baby collection (ok just 3 “babies” but still) for years.

    TOUCH ME. I can’t stand if my husband wears socks to bed and they touch my feet ughh. His pet peeve, milk scum in cups or bowls I leave in the sink. This faucet might save our marriage =P

    Living with a chocolate milk addict, he constantly leaves just the stirring spoon in the sink, too lazy to put in the dishwasher!

    turn offs definitely include singing off key and thinking too much of ones self! humility is a turn ON!

    Nail biting – it is really disgusting. I was in a big lecture next to a guy whose nails were just nubby, bloody stumps. He was really nice, but his nail biting was too gross.

    This is probably completely cliche but I can’t stand when guys shave and don’t rinse the whiskers out of the sink.
