Can you place this flat on the counter and press the buttons without it tipping or rocking?

There is a small plastic clip hinge on the back. A U shaped metal piece flops down to hold the clip out. It will then stand upright on the counter. same concept as a picture frame. It does not lie flat on it's "back" so to speak.

It's base is not really stable enough to use on a counter (especially when opening and closing the doors). But, I believe you could set it on a counter and anchor it into a wall and still get the effect you're looking for.

Definitely not neatly. If you were to display on an open shelf, you'd have to be comfortable with a little tipping. I don't mind it.

No, I don't believe you can. It should be counter height when in use. Plus it wouldn't clear the drawer front and handle.

Yes this one can do that. It doesn't stick or have any hang ups as you turn it.

Good question. We hold it and set on the counter so it's nearer than the oven (the fridge is further away). Some buttons will make it wobble when I try. If you put thin pads at the corners that would stabilize it.

Yes you can do that when you tighten the base to the countertop. I actually did that exact orientation when I installed it in my kitchen so the handle wouldn't hit the backsplash.

yes...as flat as it can get. i fold it and lean it against a wall. it's really handy. the platform step locks. it's sturdy and a good height.

No, you can't use it without mounting it to either the wall, kitchen counter (somehow) or like we did using the underside of kitchen cabinet. Your idea is a good one IF it had a weighted base and rubber feet so it wouldn't slide on the counter.

No, there is no flat solid surface on the bottom of the drawer. The cups do not sit at a tilt on the single rod because the side rods come in slightly and hold the k-cups perfectly straight. Hope this helps.

It might tip. If your small appliance is slight heavy and towards the front, I would be very careful.

Not really, you would need to partially dissemble the unit with a wrench. And even then it won't be very flat.

I guess you could, but you would have to remove it from the cabinet in order to open the top sufficiently to add things to it. I think it would also hang at an awkward angle. If counter space is a at a minimum (like my kitchen) I keep mine on the floor in a corner.

I suppose you could put some trim around the base but I don't know if that would mess up the finish (like make it crack or splinter). Mine doesn't move and I am always bumping into it due to the odd layout of my kitchen.

Yes. You can slide the drawers open but the bottom one won't then pivot down, the other drawers will only pivot down to the point they hit the counter top.

The old Dutch solid copper bowl does not have a flat place for it ting on a counter top or else where. I wouldn't use it with an electric mixer stand. I use a whisk, and getting a cardio workout with some stops for regathering of the forces, also get firm eggs for scramble or omelettes that stay firm. I set it in the sink drain to keep it erect while I do something else, cause that supports the bowl.

This is actually a pretty slick idea, because it could save some counter space. Technically, I suppose it CAN, but not without some minor mods. The metal is pretty thin, and no holes in the top, so you'd need to drill holes and probably install a metal reinforcement plate inside to make it more rigid.
