I was literally thinking this past weekend that our Kitchenaid stand mixer hasn't been out of the closet since we moved into this house 2 years ago. And beyond that, I don't remember the last time it was used.

Nice to have but pain to store and get out. If I was getting one, I would look into the pre-owned market. Estate sale, Ebay, garage sale, and so on. Not worth the money if you use it as little as we do.

My MIL had a lower cabinet in her kitchen that stored the Kitchenaid. The shelf in there was on a lift and raised up to counter height so you never had to store it or lift it out. I'd say that is the best solution.
