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.
Putting a toaster or a microwave seems insane to me. Pretty much anything else that isn’t bolted down is fair game depending on your personal preferences. I don’t know if I have any logical justification for this or if it’s just an instinct, but maybe if I think about it, the microwave is too heavy to bother moving and the toaster’s likely to drop crumbs and be more hassle than it’s worth.
