Oh yes, me too. I do have several cupboards with pull out shelves which I
love, but nothing like that.

The house we just bought a few months ago had that installed as well.
Unfortunately, the distance was a smidge too short for her bowl lift model!
My bowl lift model now has to sit on the counter, too.

Unfortunate.
Daughter-in-law's is a tilt model. I gave it to her at her wedding
shower - seemed appropriate, as mine came from _my_ mother-in-law.

You can have that installed, if you have a spare cabinet to
dedicate to your mixer. It would be nice to have a mixer lift,
for sure.

I think if one is too decrepit to lift their mixer onto the counter
then they are too decrepit to use it safely... who's going to lift the
5 qt bowl full of cake batter with one hand and scrape it into a
couple of pans? That bowl full of batter is going to weigh half as
much as the mixer and it's very awkward to hold with one hand, tip it
and scrape with the other. I think if a stand mixer is too heavy for
one to lift onto their counter then they really need to consider a
hand mixer. I gave up my stand mixer ten years ago because I no
longer mixed large amounts. And if I want bread dough I use my ABM.
I believe that the majority of older people like to display their
stand mixer just to make a statement but rarely use it if ever.
My R2D2 works great for yeast dough:

She does a lot of baking, so the machine gets frequent use.

I have both, I'm keeping both, and I'm not lifting my KA when I want to use
it. I have no problem with holding the bowl and scraping it either.

It sounds as though you have more space than I do

I personally have Breville BHM800SIL Handy Mixer. Very happy with my Breville (I have the model reviewed by https://www.cookwared.com/reviews/best-hand-mixer/ ). I bake a fair bit of bread/pizza dough (couple of times a month) so the more powerful engine is really good. I know some people have found the kitchen aid is not powerful enough for dough kneading.

I confess that was the biggest one that a quick Google turned up. I
wasn't inclined to spend a bunch of time on it.

My husband uses a hand mixer for mashed potatoes, but since we're only
making them for 2 people (and maybe one round of leftovers), it's not
arduous. We hardly ever make mashed, anyway. We prefer GBD (golden-brown
and delicious) potatoes, so we mostly roast, home-fry, or grill 'em.

For pizza dough, I just use my hands and a nice overnight rise in the
refrigerator.

I don't recall the last time I made mashed. Growing up, we had them
frequently. They are a must with pot roast. I like potatoes in any
form though.

With mashed, I use plenty of butter, warm the milk, often add sour cream
or heavy cream if on hand.
I usually use a hand masher though. I tend to overdo using a mixer.

I use a hand masher too, mashed potatoes are supposed to have lumps.
With a mixer they are whipped potatoes and a few seconds too long they
become library paste. When its mashed potatoes for just the two of us
we mash our own in our plate with a fork. then we can each have as
many or as few lumps as we like. We only add a little salt, adding
herbs/gravy smothers the potato flavor. The only thing I like to add
to mashed potatoes are onions caramelized in chicken schmaltz, makes
it taste like a potato k'nish, but I no longer do chicken schmaltz,
way too many calories and my wife won't eat the onions anyway. I also
like mashed potatoes with plain yogurt. Actually it's been years
since we had mashed potatoes, we usually have baked with a roast as
the oven is on anyway, but mostly we have a potato omelet, good with
bell peppers or asparaguys added.

Eyes, eyes. Use your eyes; no need to act like you are having a seizure and
can't turn off/let go of that mixer. When they are smooth and lump-free,
stop. But I've never encountered mashed potatoes turning into library paste
when using a hand mixer. A food processor will quickly produce that paste
if that is your goal.
