The roller slide from Littfield made a very good impression in the test. The product protects the functionality of the scales, as the sensitive feet of the Thermomix could be damaged by sliding. It can be quickly and easily attached to the Thermomix using a strong adhesive tape and, unlike the gliding board, is small and invisible. The Roller-Slide can be used for the TM 5 and TM 6. The product is made in Germany and consists of sturdy plastic and soft rollers. The instruction manual contains illustrated, informative instructions in German, Spanish, Dutch, French and English.
