Great product & customer service

I am very happy with my Slide, it was easy to setup and works like a charm. Have been using it for 2+ months now. I'm so happy with it I will probably buy another one soon for another room.
I also had experience with their excellent customer service. I bought my Slide as a so-called "second chance" (a product that was returned by a previous customer that should be complete & functioning). I couldn't figure out how to install it and thought some parts were missing. I contacted IIM and they promptly confirmed some parts were missing on my unit. Instead of telling me to contact the seller who sold me an incomplete unit they offered me to fix my Slide themselves. So I sent them mine and got a perfectly working unit back.
I was (and am still) very positively surprised by this excellent and quick customer service!

One of the most valuable smart tools I bought...

There are a few smart tools in life you are SO happy about to have bought. Slide is definitively one of these! I am one of very first users and after YEARS, I still wake up every morning asking Google to "open ALL curtains" and gently the light in every room brightens up my day! This brings me to the core... I already changed curtains but NOT Slide on EVERY set of curtains in my apartment! It is as easy to re-install again as to install! A keeper!

Easy setup, great form

I'm using it on a symmetric two curtain straight rail with regulair runners. My curtains are quite heavy but it works like a charm. I love that there are integrations like google home but without it also JustWorks™. If you even do need to reach customer service, they have been easy to reach, in my experience.

Provides everyday convenience

Im very happy with my Slide and it works excellent. Never had any problems with it and it provides everyday convenience. I especially love to wake up with natural daylight. The design is simple and easy to apply.

What I need

I’ve been using Slide for a few years now. When are you making Slide for blinds? I have to do them MYSELF! I never want to go back living without Slide. It’s so easy, it always does exactly what you want.

Best curtain solution ever!

For years I was reluctant to automate my curtains because of the price.... and then Slide was introduced. I immediately bought five of them.

Virtually every type of curtain and rail is supported. I have very heavy curtains, but also very light ones. No problem for Slide because of the different motor settings. The installation is really super easy, both the physical installation to my rail and curtains and adding the Slides to the app.

My curtains now open and close on the schedule I have set up, with some curtains aligned to sunrise and sunset, while others work together with my lights and shutters.

What I didn't realise beforehand is that the curtains also stay nicer because we no longer grab and pull them twice a day. We only noticed this benefit after using Slide for a few months.

I am moving house soon and will have more frames and curtains. Buying a few more Slides is already on my list!

Just frigging awesome

I am using Slide for quite some time now and my whole experience with it comes down to this: frigging awesome!

Easy to install, even easier to use. By using scheduled opening and closing the curtains it keeps the warmth in in autumn and winter and keeps the heat out in spring and summer.

In a house with as huge amount of glass as mine slide is a game changer!

Happily using the Slide for a few years…

Happily using the Slide for a few years already. The setup was super easy and guided by the app and video. Each step was confirmed with a checkup. With that guidance the installation went smooth.

The app works fine to control the curtains, and we also use the "pull" method on the curtains themselves.

Occasionally I had to re-calibrate the strength to ensure the curtain "pack" remains tight. Although it has been a while for now, perhaps it was improved in the firmware/app.

Overall this is a superior product over alternatives. I wasn't happy with a competitor product.

Slide: Excellent experience, excellent startup!

Excellent experience: subscribed to Slide’s Indiegogo campaign, they kept their customers informed of every step of the process of the startup. Kaj and Thijs took the trouble and the time to tell in detail what was happening, why choices were made, what problems arose. They continued to do so even after our Slide had arrived. When we had a single problem, we were promptly helped and informed.
In the meantime, our Slide is still working perfectly, even with super weighty curtains.
The only thing I’m missing is a autocalibration method that keeps the curtains touch at their closed position. I’ve repositioned the grips once, but after z few months, the curtains stop touching when fully closed. There’s not much of an aperture, but enough for little perfectionist me to be a bit annoyed.
Wonderful product though, which I would highly recommend. It’s relatively cheap, sturdy, elegant and it keeps working after a few years, even though my Slide was an early version of a newly developed product.
Slide’s management has proven to have a heart and passion for their product, and have shown a continuous interest in their clients’ contentment with the product.

Kudos, guys!

Great product

For a few years now, the curtains in our living room and bedroom are 'smart' thanks to Slide. Works like a charm, with their app, by voice command (Google Home) or simply pulling the curtain rod. I love holiday mode, which closes and opens your curtain at random times when not at home. Setup is slightly challenging, but worth the effort. Would highly recommend.

Truly wonderful automatic curtains

Bought two slides on Kickstarter and when installed they were absolutely great, so bought another one. I have three different set-ups. All work flawless. Be patient with the install and follow the clear instructions, you will have a wonderfull solution.
If you have questions, the helpdesk is very quick and friendly.

Great product in making curtains smart

Bought my first Slides through Indiegogo, took some time but it was totally worth it! I’ve got five Slides so far and a sixth coming up. Use them every day and absolutely love them. The product looks very good and premium, all the necessary utilities are in the box and they are easy to attach to the curtains. The explanation videos in the app are also helpful when attching them to the curtains, but once you’ve done it one time the rest is easy. I’ve added them to HomeKit through homebridge for now, but luckily native HomeKit support is coming up. All in all a very good product and happy costumer!

Great option for automating curtains.

Bought the slides in a crowdfunding campaign. While not the cheapest, they are the superior option for automating curtains (out of the three options/brands I currently have in my home). Fantastic build quality of the hardware, good software that gets out the way, and very good installation tutorials (which is more important than you might think). I have them running for three years or so, and have zero complaints. They just work. +1, would recommend.
