Heard some guys talking about this...
Assuming you had ample counter space, do you want small appliances - toaster, blender, panini press, etc - out on the counter or should they be put put away in a cupboard after use?

The guys were complaining that their partners wanted everything put away -- even stuff they use every morning like the toaster and blender.

I really prefer more counter space, but I wouldn't put away daily use appliances like the coffee maker. If counter space wasn't an issue, I would still prefer a more clean look of having less appliances out. It's less visual clutter and kitchens already have a lot of visual clutter generally.

Crumbs and such still collect under the appliances on the counter and it's a pain to clean around them every time as well.

    Ya, I'm kinda torn... All the things you mention, but then there's my ADHD which makes objects disappear from existence if I don't see them.

    Good point and that's a struggle for me sometimes! I almost never use the InstantPot that it's in my cupboard. But I have enough slow cooker recipes to pull that out frequently regardless of "out of sight, out of mind".

    Maybe aiming to have minimal appliances is the way to go?
