Ours is in the mud room/laundry room (which is in between the kitchen and garage entrance, does have a door to the kitchen that closes).
I don’t love it there, actually. Seems to public, and I don’t like the proximity to the kitchen.
However, we don’t really have a better place to put it.
In our old house, we had it in the basement. That was very ideal! In another house, we had it in an unused powder room. That was great too.
