I think you custom something or you lose all the cabinet space. It weighs too much for any moveable top shelf. I would try to find another smaller lower cabinet and get the extra storage out of the corner. Have you tried kornerking.com?

Yeah..., but nothing is convenient in that you have to bend over or squat down to reach in and pull out anything at the back. The purpose of any corner cabinet system is to prevent that. But that may work perfectly for your needs.

I also vote for a KornerKing. You can order the type that'll allow for a tall appliance to be stored.

However, I personally would store it on the counter. I know you say lifting it isn't a problem, but it is an awfully heavy item.

Thanks for the inputs. Yes, I've looked at the KornerKing before but had forgotten about it. We are about to put a KD on contract so will see what she suggests. Worst case I suppose I leave it on the bottom shelf of the pantry. The pantry is going to be about 27" wide so may omit a rollout on the bottom shelf.

I've had the KitchenAid for 25 years and hope to have it another 50 years, but to be honest with just two people eating in moderation its not an appliance we use more than a few times per year. It was a lot of fun when I used to make carrot cake, cheesecake, or cookies once or twice per month for ourselves and co-workers but for us those are fond memories in the past. Thus no practical reason to keep it out on the counter; the Keurig which we use daily has taken its place.

Here's two pics that seem to support the mixer on a Magic Corner. It's not a 3636 solution, but thought I'd throw it out there. In my old kitchen, I stored the mixer in a narrow tall base cabinet (no drawer) that had only one movable shelf. I stored my toaster on the top shelf as it was easy to open the door and pull it up to the counter. The mixer was stored on the bottom and I was easily able to lift it up onto the counter when I needed it.

So I just went to the Hafele website and looked at the install specs for the Magic Corner 2. The 2 inner shelves can support 17 pounds each and the 2 outer shelves can support 22 pounds each. My mixer is the K5SS model (fixed neck with the bowl that raises and lowers) which weighs in at 25.5 pounds which seems a little out of spec.

I keep mine on the bottom shelf in the walk in pantry. Like you, I just don't use it that often. There is always the old appliance garage in the corner was useful.

I was hoping to store my KitchenAid in a corner shelf also, but our KD said the shelves in our corner base cabinet would not support it. I have settled for a pull-out shelf specifically rated for a higher weight with a support in the middle of the cabinet opening so one side is for the higher weight and one side is for the standard weight. (I'm sorry, but I can't remember exactly how much weight each side will hold.)

How about a corner garage on the counter. Just put in a pullout shelf there and pull out to use. Close the door when you don't need it.

I have seen a mixer stored in a deep drawer with two shallow drawers above. Maybe a set of corner drawers with the mixer stored in the deepest bottom drawer would work, which would also give you the 3636 configuration.

My mom had her mixer on a raisable stand like this in her 1969 custom built house. We used it regularly as kids and definitely made cooking fun. Never had any problems with it (no pinched fingers or mixer falling off although we were cautioned about both frequently).

If I had another 6 feet of counter space available in my current kitchen I'd definitely allocate 2 feet of it for this -- but I don't. We don't have a trash pullout so that's a high priority addition as we are tired of bumping into the trash can. The more I think about it the more it seems like a heavy weight pullout at the bottom of the pantry makes the most sense. That way it will be out of the way most of the time but accessible when needed.

How big is the pantry? Maybe a heavy weight pop-up right there is perfect given your infrequent needs.

Thanks nancyjwb. I do like that solution and it seems like a good use of what looks to be a 15" base cabinet that's a little too narrow for many items. I also like the lower drawer for extra mixing paddles plus baking accessories like cookie cutters. Our pantry is a tall cabinet about 27" wide and 24" deep. I think we could do something very similar to this photo although it would be full width with the food processor and blender on the same pullout rather than dedicated to the mixer.
