LOPNUR 14 x 10 in Appliance Slider Mat, Blue Rubber, 0.2 in Thick

Bigger in plan than the smaller mats in this range: 14 inches by 10, enough to take a stand mixer or a microwave base rather than only a coffee machine.

At 0.2 inches thick it barely raises the appliance, yet the rubber shifts across a worktop under a push and pivots when the rear of a machine needs reaching.

That movement is what saves the surface. Dragging an appliance directly over wood or marble scuffs it; the mat absorbs the friction instead.

Cut it down to match the base of whatever stands on it. LOPNUR intends the material to be trimmed.

Blue, heat resistant and non-slip, weighing 0.23 kg. The listing quotes a capacity of 330 grams, which reads oddly for a load-bearing mat, so treat it as the maker's own figure.

Cleaning means a damp wipe or a rinse, then air drying before it goes back under the appliance.
