Between coffee machines, air fryers, slow cookers, mixers, and microwaves, countertops get crowded, making it hard to keep every appliance within easy reach. Luckily, dragging a blender with stubborn rubber feet across the kitchen island is a thing of the past, thanks to a $7 set of appliance sliders that makes quick work of small daily inconveniences.

The idea is simple: Each slider—about the size of a quarter—has an adhesive backing that attaches to the bottom of appliances, allowing them to glide smoothly across surfaces. Installation takes less than a minute and requires zero tools.
The sliders work on both wood and stone countertops, but they can even help small appliances move over towels and fabric surfaces with ease. They eliminate the need to lift or drag heavy countertop appliances, all while slightly elevating them to help protect against spills and water as well.
More than 4,300 Amazon shoppers have given the sliders a 5-star rating, with reviewers calling them a “game-changer,” a “must-have,” and a “product you didn’t know you needed but find you can’t live without.”
For some, this clever hack offers a sleeker alternative to bulky rolling trays and makes cleaning underneath easier. For others dealing with wrist pain, arthritis, or back pain, the sliders help reduce the strain of moving heavy equipment. The sliders also add a layer of insurance for countertops by helping prevent scratches.
One shopper, who described the sliders as “top-notch” said they helped move a fridge and washing machine across the floor “like they’re on wheels,” while another said appliances now move “like butter.” Another shopper, a senior citizen who struggled with heavier kitchen items, called them “perfect,” noting that they now have “no problem” moving items around.
A life-changing hack for less than the cost of a latte is a win—especially at 22% off. The sliders are useful beyond the kitchen, too: think easily moving speakers and printers in a home office, sewing machines and storage bins in craft spaces, or detergent containers and hampers in the laundry room. They come in packs of eight, 16, and 24, so you can try them out in a few different ways.
