Servo-Drive Opening Feature from Blum

New this summer from Blum, maker of high-quality door glides, is Servo-Drive. It's a little over the top, but this new opening feature actually opens drawers for you. You simply touch the drawer or give it a light pull and an electrical drive opens the drawer for you...

Now, do you need Servo Drive? Probably not. But from the looks of the photo above, it's a lot of fun to show your friends when they're over for dinner.

If they are servo driven then it should be possible to operate them via remote control.

I think it's not about laziness. Designwise it can be very nice, and is also practical. I use it for drawers behind sliding doors where you have no room for handles. I also built it into my coffee table, which made my drawers invisible and also safe for the knees :)

But if it operates with electricity then it is bullcrap.There is no use putting electicity into practice. I have this touch-to-open solution and works pretty fine without raising my bills: Tipmatic Dynamic NT Touch-to-Open system
