Do you tuck them away in a cabinet until they are needed (or would you want to if you had the space) or keep them all (or mostly) out?

I would love to get them all out of sight!  Still dreaming about more cabinet/counter space : )

The only appliances i have out are the coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, and microwave. Everything else, i am able to put away.

 I think this is why NOTHING is on the counters now.  I went 10years with no choice.

funny I do not have my coffee maker or toaster out and I have a built in overhead microwave. I don't use the coffee maker or toaster too often so they are put up. I use my panini maker, crock pot, steamer, mixer, and blender every week at least some of them more so I leave them out but we have a lot of counter space and they are pretty deep.

I keep the coffeemaker out. The microwave is in its own cabinet. I pull the crockpots out from their drawers under the cabinet as needed, the blender and food processor are in the pantry. The toaster is on one of the same drawers as the crockpots.

 I have fibromyalgia pain, I can't be bending down into low cabinets or reaching into high cupboards to get at my appliances.  I need them on the counter.  Do I like that?  No, I'd rather have cleared counter tops, but.....

If I use them regularly they are out.
