An Ergonomic Kitchen Appliance Lift

Hardware Resources’ Soft-Close Mixer/Appliance Lift not only allows bulky kitchen appliances like stand mixers, blenders, and food processors to be stored out of sight when they’re not needed, it also provides mechanical assistance to raise them to counter height for use. The chrome-finished system is compatible with frameless or face-frame cabinetry and attaches to a shelf that is at least 3/4 inch thick and less than 20 1/2 inches long. The spring-loaded lift can support up to 45 pounds and locks in place just below counter level. It costs $150. hardwareresources.com
