I feel your pain @Nataliesgramma , both figuratively and literally!
I actually don't buy many small appliances that I might like to try (like an air fryer or a mult pot, and even a VitaMix) because I don't want them sitting out, and I don't have the space to store them in cabinets or the desire to haul them out every time I use them.
I won't even leave a toaster sitting out, and we use it almost daily.
I do have a Kitchen Aid mixer out and against my will, the Keurig (hubby uses it, I don't), and that is it for appliances sitting out, and I really begrudge him the Keurig, because it doesn't get used enough to justify the space used. I've thought about putting a coffee bar in the laundry room for him, but lacking the right kind of space there too! LOL
I am at the age where convenience and accessibility are more important, so I can see the lure of wanting to leave those heavy things out and where they will be used more. I can see me at the same point in the not too distant future!
