ALl my drawers are Blumotion except the trash. If it would have worked I'm sure the cabinet guy would have done it since I paid a hefty price per drawer for the Blumotion.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The pistons and or cassettes are replacable if they fail. I've got one in my personal kitchen going on 3 years w/no probs. The Blum runners are capable of supporting 150 lbs. If you've got 60 + lbs. in each trash can you are probably spending too much time at the gym, or your trash drawer is too wide because of poor design.

We put in the toe-kick opener which cannot be used with the soft-close glides (opposing actions). Had we not opted to get the opener, I might have considered getting soft-close as we have them on all the other drawers and pull-outs. FWIW, we got the 110 lb rated glides on our KA mixer pull-out (whcih is overkill but we worth it to us). I can't imagine the trash weighing anywhere near that.

We have blumotion on our double trash pullout and have not noticed any issues. We use one for trash and the other for recycle. I don't know the pound ratings.

We also have Blumotion on our double-bin trash pullouts. They are now a year old & we have not had any problems with them.

Thanks a lot. I called Blum today and they recommended the heavy duty tandem glides with a 110 pound rating. They said it would be no problem. I asked my cabinet maker to install them and he said he would so I will be able to try it out in a couple weeks.

Thanks.

I am the original 110 lb weakling! I could not imagine having two full trash containers at the same time that would weigh in the 100 lb range! If you've ever lugged a 40 lb bag of softener salt or a 50 lb bag of birdseed compare that to your full wastebasket at home. I know mine gets changed before it is even near half that weight. The blumotion folks are probably just maki ng a disclaimer for the occaisional family that would break that rule. JMHO. Personally, I think that toe kick opening feature would be handier than a soft close feature for that particular cabinet.
