Win a GE Appliance!

GE Strong as Steel wants to give you a new appliance. You can enter this contest once a day between now and Nov. 15 by clicking on the sweepstakes button on the video below for your chances to win one of five brand new GE appliances. This video (and the button to enter) are also available on my site in the lower right-hand corner, if that’s easier for you to find each day.  (It says “Bridget” as it’s loading, so be patient). And you will want to come back here each day and enter.

Now, listen to this — if one of my readers wins an appliance, then I win one too! How cool is that?!! So I KNOW you want to enter.

Hank and Lisa in the video below were the first to bring you the GE Strong as Steel Kitchen Workout – a humorous take on workout routines titled Strong as Steel.

Now, watch the video, then enter the sweepstakes. And do it again tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that. Etc. Etc. But MAKE SURE YOU ENTER THE CONTEST BY FILLING OUT THE FORM ON THE VIDEO BOX LABELED SWEEPSTAKES. While I love your comments in the comment section, a comment there WILL NOT ENTER YOU into this contest.

Good Luck!

  1. Thanks for hosting this incredible giveaway. I could really use a new refrigerator or stove or even a dishwasher. Mine are as old as the hills and with the economy being what it is there is little or no chance I can afford to get a new one anytime soon.

  2. I LOVE Your site. I subscribe.

  3. I could really use a new freezer or dishwasher. Freezer as we stock up and are out of room now.. Dishwasher as our is finally dying. Time to get a new one.

  4. Darn it I can’t get the submit button to work, help!

  5. Tamara,

    I had a few other people test it and they didn’t have any problem. Are you entering your birthdate with numbers versus letters? I don’t know if that matters, but give it a try.

    If anyone else is having trouble getting the submit button to work, please let me know and I’ll get in touch with the GE folks so we can get it fixed. I can’t really test it myself because that would require me to enter and somehow I think that will violate the rules.

  6. I am entering the numbers for my b-day,even tried it in Safari and still nada, darn it!

  7. Hey Michelle, I’m having the same problem with the submit button. changed some things, still won’t click

  12. I just heard back from GE. They’re having this problem on a lot of sites and are working on it as I type. I’ll let you know when the button is fixed. Thankfully, the contest runs until November 20 so you all have many more days to enter to win!

  13. GE supplied a new button/code for the submission. Try submitting your entry now and let me know if it worked for you or if you’re still having problems! Thanks to all of you for your patience!
