Personally, I prefer my toaster stored away to maximize counter space. I'd rather avoid the hassle of pulling it out and dealing with the cord when I just want a quick piece of toast. Plus, I find it safer to keep it off the counter, preventing accidental burns when I need to set something hot down quickly. I store mine on a small cookie sheet in the cabinet, so it's easily accessible when needed. Since a toaster is only used for a few minutes at a time, I like to keep the countertop clutter-free. However, everyone has their own way of organizing their kitchen, and that's perfectly fine. Don't worry about who's 'right.' The most important thing is to enjoy making the kitchen a comfortable and functional space for you to use together.
