I know I'm jumping in here late, but to keep your cat off your kitchen counters you might want to try the "Scat Mat". Our cat stopped jumping on the counter after 5 attempts over two days. She hasn't gone near any counter since! It also works to keep the animals (dogs and cats) off furniture. And it worked well as a room boundary until they learned to jump over it. So we put two mats side by side, and that did the trick. There are several models/sizes. <http://www.amazon.com/SONIC-SCAT-DETERRENT-REPELLENT-DOGS/dp/B004GQGN50/ref=sr_1_cc_7?s=aps&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1426301520&sr;=1-7-catcorr&keywords;=scat+mat> I know I'm jumping in here late, but to keep your cat off your kitchen counters you might want to try the "Scat Mat".

You will need to trun it off when you are in the kitchen otherwise it sprays you.

You can just turn it off with the switch on the back. My kitchen isn't that large, either. I forgot to turn it on one night, but they hadn't gotten up and messed with anything. I think after a while, just seeing the cannister scares them off.

I believe that should work, as I have my microwave on a tiny counter in my kitchen.

Absolutely.It is on my kitchen counter where I keep it plugged in the wall.

It should be fine assuming you dont plan on removing it. If you do it might.

I've have not removed mine yet. I rent an apartment so the fridge does not belong to me either and I plan on staying here a long while....I don't think removing would cause too much harm....

It will fit on a counter, but I personally believe it takes up too much space and is not very aesthetically pleasing.

Yes you would be able to remove the unit pretty easily and re-use it elsewhere. It's best installed in a cabinet without a drawer on top. It allows for more hanging room of pots.

I would recommend you empty it every time. If I just have a small area to clean I just add enough water/soap that I think I will need.

Like any other small appliance, either inside a cabinet or on the counter top.

If your asking clearance for cooking; if baking or broiling i suggest you move the oven 3-4 inch away from the wall for safety. If other than baking it can remain in place.

I only have it on a small bathroom vanity counter, and it's holding up well so far...not sure what the result would be in a kitchen though!

It is secured to the cabinet with the provided hardware. So you could take it back off. But there will be some screw holes that won't be seen unless they looked inside.

I've only had mine for a few months, but I store it on its side for the same reason, and it is functioning well! I'm pretty sure that I read in one of the reviews that someone else was doing that, which I thought was great in my small kitchen.

I used it on a 5x3 countertop, it maybe got a little thin in a few spots, so maybe a little smaller section would be better.
