Possible mistake - Pull out height

8 years ago

I’ve gone with mostly drawers in my kitchen with a few pull out cupboards. My mixer and popcorn maker are 15” tall and I’ve allowed 16” clearance for the pull outs - but now I’m worried.

How tall are mixers and kitchen appliances these days (what if I buy a new appliance is what I’m getting at)? Are they taller than that? Should I have allowed more height clearance?

What are the height measurements of typical kitchen things?

Looking on Amazon, it looks like the kinds of mixers where the head tilts back are about 14.1" tall. The kind where the bowl is lifted/lowered with a U-shaped thingy are taller - 16-17". If you are getting framed cabinets, make sure the actual opening is 16" vs the inside height.

A Vitamix is taller and so is my food processor. I would either change the height or have the shelf height adjustable for future proofing.

my Vitamix, with the lid on, is 20 1/2", my tilt-head Kitchen Aid is just over 14"

. Vitamix without the lid is 18"
