This is a neat thread -- I'm a gadget freak, but mostly the are hand-powered type. But electric... On the counter and used daily: Small microwave Can opener that actually opens tall cans [I have arthritis and manual openers are a literal pain to use.] DH's 2-cup coffee maker 2-slice toaster; why don't they make 3-slice toasters? Small toaster oven which I *never* use but DH does -rarely-I keep trying to get it off the counter and that reminds him he wants to use it. In a convenient cabinet and used at least weekly: 3 qt crockpot, the standard deep type. I'd love an oval shape that would be easier to use for lasagna or roasts. Bread machine, the one that makes regular-shaped loaves. I wore out 2 and killed one before this darlin'. Electric knife. Heavy-duty handheld KitchenAid mixer. I killed seven and severely injured another 5 in between my original Sunbeam (which worked well for almost 30 years) and getting this one. A mini-chopper. Location, location, location. Right now it's in a bad neighborhood-when it's on the counter it's used daily. Waffle iron -- this should go into the seasonal storage. In storage but used seasonally or often enough to be worth the space: 5 qt crockpot, another 3-qt would be more useful; 2-qt would be wonderful but are apparently non-existent. 1 qt crockpot, actually used fairly often but not enough to rate good storage space. Immersible blender- it lives in a worse neighborhood than the minichopper. Large KitchenAid food processor... if I had more counterspace, it would be out. Probably put it where that toaster oven is. Deep fryer [some day it will go into the yard sale box] Vittoria tomato saucer - I'd give up the food processor before I let go of this! Deli-style meat slicer; it was great for meats and cheeses, but now the littluns have grown up, it should go to the yard sale. A pot-stirrer. Naturally, after I got it, I discovered the crockpots are great for making jam and fruit butters without stirring. Vacuum packer for freezer bags -- not really satisfactory. This is the only appliance that I'm totally sorry I bought. Vacuum breadkeeper: a bad purchase because the seals quickly wore out. Not really worth the effort of fixing. Electric frying pan. I used it daily when I had an electric stove, but now I've got a gas stove and this pan should be in the go-box. Mini-frying pan, same as above. Dehydrator. Yes, it's used. Rice steamer. Takes 40 minutes; family can't tell the difference from 20-minute boiled rice, but this thing never burns the rice. I use it more when the microwave is dead - it's okay for re-heating vegs. Blender, used it when I had it; don't miss it now it's gone. Yoghurt maker, ditto above. I have wanted for years and can't find: the machine that vacuum seals cans. Hmmm, maybe I should look into those mason jars...

That light fixture is a stunner. Compliments! ____ I know that your plans are set, but my eye goes to that narrow cab to right of sink. Your plans are set, but these ideas may be useful for someone else. Deep drawers/cabs less than 12 inches wide are very hard to find a use for. Would be better consolidated into vertical storage unit for trays and cookie sheets. But you can use drawers of this size as bins, esp if they pull out a long way. My bin drawer holds plastic storage stuff--when it's full, I begin tossing. Intentionally designed it to stop hoarding. If you had lots and lots of potholders or something, you could put them in such a drawer also. I wish I could find the original inspiration photo which sadly I did not see until my cabs were planned...but I've tried to describe it many times regarding siting the vertical storage unit next to the lazy susan corner unit. If you make a single door -- possibly jointed--that covers both the one side of the susan access and the adjacent narrow cupboard door, you can cut back the back-to-front interior divider between the vert storage and the lazy susan unit. It doesn't even have to be made of wood--wire would do. This allows you to reach farther back into the crevice behind the lazy susan and to see items located deeper on the susan shelves. If the divider is narrower than a full dividing stile between cabs, it wins you a little more room for the storage unit and/or for stuff to stand on the floor of the corner alongside the susan in the corner unit, like tall skinny bottles.

Went to the KAF site and read the reviews ont eh mini Zo. "As the KAF instruction sheet indicates, this machine is a computer". That is, the cycles are pre-programmed. That's OK for people who just want to plug and play, but for those of us who want control over the baking, we just don't get it. It would have been great to have the option of pressing a "Knead" button or a "Bake" button to be able to control those functions, ideally coupled with the ability to set the timer for each." Does this mean that I wouldnt be able to let it just knead my dough and then I can bake it in the regular oven?

I have a galley too, with laundry off the kitchen, and love the idea of a peninsula. But it's not clear to me that it works well as suggested above - based on your previous posts, you have about 100" in width for the kitchen, right? If you have a 48" wide peninsula (seating for 2) on one side and then a regular depth cabinet on the other (25" including overhang), you've created a chokepoint that is just over 2 feet wide. If my reading of your diagram/dimensions or my math is wrong, forget this point! If not, consider how you use the space. From my read of that last diagram, every time you opened the oven door you would block access to either end of the kitchen. That's not fun (and not the safest thing either if you have lunatic kids like mine.) I'm biased - we just spent a bunch and possibly even reduced our counterspace all for the primary purpose of eliminating that kind of choke point. If you don't get a lot of traffic through the kitchen, then it's probably not a big deal. But I can say that having moved from 33" wide openings at either end to a 48"+ aisle for the whole galley, it feels a thousand times bigger (even though it's really not!) Try mocking up the space with boxes or blue tape and see how it feels.
