Kitchen Aid mixer storage- any ideas?

gidgetgh · ‎03-09-2010

This is a picture of the mixer in my friend's pantry. She's looking for something to put her Kitchen Aid on, in the pantry, that is like this but has wheels so she can just roll it out. Any ideas? It can't be taller than 10"' including the wheels.

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

There are plant stands or dollys on wheels that are readily available, but they might not be tall enough.

Some appliances are easy to stow away in a cabinet or pantry. IMO, the KA mixer is just best left on the counter. It has an awkward weight distribution that makes it kind to tricky to move around easily.

Not helpful, I know... Has she considered just covering it?

A skateboard?

Look for a CPU stand. They should be short enough to accommodate the space. You could also look for an "under desk printer stand" but they might be too tall. Here's a picture of a CPU Stand:

I would never use my KA mixer if I stored it. It is too heavy for me to lift. I do have a cover; wish I could find a new one, but never see one in a nice color for my kitchen. My old over is quilted white fabric which does look good in my kitchen.

I suggested a taller rolling stand to put in her breakfast nook, but she doesn't really have room for it. I wouldn't want to have to bend over and pick it up all the time either.

I searched printer stands earlier and while the while the concept is good, they're too tall. I'm going to search CPU stands for her and also just sent her several screen shots of rolling plant stand/dollies.

Thanks for the help everyone.

She is going to injure her back hoisting that mixer virtually from the floor!!! Put it on the counter or a waist high cart.

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

the-cover-store.com has plain quilted covers and I've seen some really nice ones on Etsy.
