aside from extra power draw on the circuit that the kitchen is on (assuming you plug it into an outlet on the same circuit, just make sure it doesn't over load that circuit the kitchen appliances are on, or you'll find yourself making quite a few trips to the fuse box to reset it), don't really see a problem with it. not many people I know put one in the kitchen, usually Living room, entertainment room, bedrooms, etc, but if its the only place to put one, then don't see much of a problem with it.
