I almost have no choice but to put it in the “laundry” as I can’t sacrifice any more benchtop space in the kitchen; as it is I have to keep putting away my air fryer and rice cooker after use and haven’t even taken my toaster out, all of which shits me. But the “laundry” works a lot better because it’s basically a cupboard right next to the kitchen anyway - so minimal steps to transfer items, and makes use of empty space on top of the washing machine.
