Kitchen Storage: Need a lift?

Reviewed by:

Reduce your countertop clutter with this handy appliance lift. Capable of holding up to 60 pounds, it is supported by two adjustable tension springs for easy raising and lowering. In the closed position, it has 17" of clearance between the shelf and countertop, so small appliances can be stowed away with the shelf.

The lift is lockable in both the closed and open position. Price is about $100 for the chrome plated lifting mechanism and the shelf is not included. (October 2004)
