Jury Not In
I purchased 10 of these. I have a one-man cabinet shop and have used Blumotion undermount slides in several of my kitchen cabinet builds. I have not used Blumotion hinges.
I ran into a client who expressed concern about a cabinet door with a stained glass panel slamming shut, and I suggested the Blumontion Soft Close unit. I then ordered the 10 and proceeded to test them in my own kitchen. I've only been using them for two weeks now. I find that it has taken me and my family some time to get used to letting the cabinet doors go a few inches before they are closed to enable the Soft-Close to engage and do the work. We tend to close the door and encounter resistance against the unit until remembering to simply "let go" of it. I question if, over time, that and the normal stresses/pressures of the door against the unit will weaken the rail-stile joint above the hinge or end up marring at the unit-door contact point. It is too early to tell. When used as intended, it is a nice add-on feature and the doors do indeed close softly.
