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!

    Touch Me! I’ve been wanting one of these forever!

    My turn off: swearing

    I think this is because I work with 17-22 year olds and I hear swears used for everyday things. I’m fine with a well placed swear when it means something, but swears in normal language drive me nuts.

    Having to constantly pick up after everything he does! However, have had the OCD experience, and that was worse. It’s close to Valentine’s Day, so no real complaints.

    Please! We are ready to start a minor remodel of our kitchen which includes a new sink and this faucet would look (and work) beautifully! Plus, we don’t have a dishwasher so it would really get a work out!!

    Why is it that men have such a difficult time locating the laundry basket? Sometimes my husband (who is truly the man of my dreams) actually tosses his clothes NEXT TO the laundry basket. Really?

    As a fellow prego I had to comment on the fact that Sherry vacuums. Totally an aside, but my OB says that the vibrations from vacuums and other small appliances can induce labor early, so… I’ve been getting out of housework, but I wanted to share the intel. :)

    Awesome faucet.

    My biggest pet peeve is whenever my hubby uses any faucet in the house, he manages to create a lake surrounding the sink every time! I’m always the one to notice it and left having to wipe it up! Drives me nuts, but of course I love him!
