We ordered the Tip-on and are just waiting for it to be installed. I'll try to remember to update when we do it.

Oh, I should have mentioned the Tip-on. I saw the thread where it was mentioned, but then I saw in another thread someone said the Tip-on won't work with pull-out trash. But it sounds like that was either outdated or incorrect? So I would get the Movento slide set, the Tip-on thingy, and then whatever trash holding drawer I want?

I have been a bit confused about the whole thing, but my designer is on it. We have a trash pull-out with soft close, and the Tip-on is going to be added. The parts have come in and I think my husband is going to have a go at installing, as we have finished with our GC. I hope it's soon!

Let me know how it goes!

Just to clear it up. "Tip-on" is what Blum calls their push to open mechanism. It comes in a few different forms. Tip-on for doors is the small cylinder (two different lenghts) with holder or drilled directly into the cabinet box edge. For trash you want their drawer slides (tandem undermount for wood drawers) with builtin "Tip-on" and soft close. That is non motorized. Their motorized is called Servo Drive. Ikea has a version of the motorized Servo also. (probably made for them by Blum) The servo unit is more like a flipper on a pin ball machine that sends the drawer out. These are very reliable. Haven't heard of any problems and I have installed many. The unit is easy to change if there was.

Stillpitat - you can't add tip-on to an older Blum drawer slide if it's not set up for that. They used to have two different slides but they have just recently changed that and now there is only one that works either way. I am sure this is the case for the "Legra" drawers (their high end thin metal profile) because this is mostly what I use. You should check for the ones you currently have.

Thank you Jdesign! Question, if I did decide to use the motorized one, can I use the Ikea version with a non-Ikea trash pullout? The Ikea ones look to be shorter (extend less far under the counter) than the Rev-a-shelf/Blum equivalent, curious if the Ikea one would fit with other brands of pullouts.

Framed cabinets are going to make this difficult because even though the cabinet is 18” the actual space for the trash is much smaller and whether you hang the bins or they sit on the floor of the cabinet the cabinet will get dirty.

It can't be that difficult...people do this every day and it doesn't seem to be an issue. What would you recommend? Trash under the sink (we have a 30" sink base with the drain offset to the side) and use the would-be trash cabinet as a normal cabinet?

Why not just a simple pus opener for the door use your knee if your your hands are full, some things just need a simple fix and IMO you totally overthinking a trash cabinet.

That is exactly what I posted about, asking about the different options for that. I don't see where I am overcomplicating things? But I am interested to know which push opener you prefer, is it the electric Blum one or something else?

My designer has been in contact with Blum, so I assume the Tip-on system will work for us. Our slides were only installed a couple months ago.
