Re: Kitchen Aid mixer storage- any ideas?

I have mine on my counter. I would not use it if I had to get it out of the cabinet or pantry because it's too heavy. I have felt feet on it which makes it easy to move. One of these would be nice.

This works great. You will need better castors for something heavy. It is just the right size. I roll it in and out of my pantry. This made by International Concepts. You can stain or paint the bottom and just oil the top.

Sorry, I just went back and read the part about no taller than 10 inches


@tiny 2- yeah, too tall, but I love this though. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Re: Kitchen Aid mixer storage- any ideas?

I'd bet that no one here has a smaller kitchen than I do, unless you live in an RV, and I can't imagine putting  my mixer away.  I'm really curious why anyone would do this?

I have 2, both our out and proud.  One on a wheeled cart an done on the main counter.

 

When they're out, they're used.  For everything.  If you have to mix it, it's just a easy to get a bowl and a fork as it is to use the bowl and paddle.

@gidgetgh  I do like the plant stand on rollers idea.  I am sure there is one big enough to hold it.

 

There are also several types of Origami carts on wheels.  Some are telescopic and some are not.

@house_cat- I really have no idea. She and her husband just moved into a new house. There's a breakfast nook off the kitchen and I suggested putting it on a rolling stand there but she sent me a picture and she has it pretty well filled up, without being cluttered. The kitchen proper doesn't have anywhere for a cart.

Re: Kitchen Aid mixer storage- any ideas?

Mine resides on my counter under the cabinet with room to spare.  I have the Professional 600 (575 watts) and I put a Kitchenaid cover over it in red (my accent color).  It's very accessible this way however the Kitchenaid cover is somewhat short for this big mixer and they need to make one that will fit this bigger machine.

 

I have no problem pulling it out and using it whenever I want.  If I put it away somewhere it would never be used.

 

Yes, it's heavy, but well worth it....  I have the original with the metal bowl and bought the soft edge beaters and find it gets all the mix at the bottom.  I bought the machine specifically to make a cookie recipe that I have that requires very little liquid and is a bear (if not impossible now I'm older) to make it without mechanical help!  This is ~the best~ bar none appliance I have ever purchased for my kitchen!  Woman LOL  

 

I have it in dark metallic gray....

I guess we all have our priorities, but that's one I can't relate to.
