I have a lot of countertop kitchen appliances and my cleaning woman comes in she has to move them all to wipe the counters (she's very thorough).  I just found these and these which will be helpful for both of us.

Also, these freeze dried herbs eG-friendly Amazon.com link)are really worth buying.

 

I only have my CSO and Kitchen Aid mixer on the counter so I didn't need the sliders*.  All my other "countertop" appliances live in cabinets and I sometimes manage to inadvertently lasso an unsuspecting appliance with the cord of the one I'm pulling out to use so I ordered the little adhesive cord organizers (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) that you mentioned.  

I put them on my coffee grinder, food processor, immersion blender, Philips indoor grill and Paragon induction burner.  The grill has a very wide, flat cord that doesn't quite slip under the loop to fasten it at the end but, other than that, they're all working quite nicely.  I use the coffee grinder every day and thought it might be annoying to have to unwind and rewind the cord each time but it's not a problem and worth the effort to avoid having the cord drag the citrus juicer out of the cabinet and on to the floor and they're much easier than zip ties, twisties or Velcro straps. 

I think I'll put the last one on the Instant Pot. 

Thanks for the tip!

 

* Edited to add that I am the cleaning woman and I'm not all that thorough 🙃
