How does the door open - is it a push button? I can't tell from the photo or the specifications?

You just pull on the door handle and it opens but no push button. I hope this helps.

The center door does open. You can also switch it to open the other way, which my husband did because it worked better for our space.

It is just a pushbutton lever. Very easy on and off, and sturdy enough to do the job.

It has a push button door release. It works very well. This is a really nice microwave.

You attach the button to push beside the door so I don't understand the question. As long as you have a place beside the door that you can put two screws into it will work. I got one of these for me and one for a gift for my grandma. We both love it.

It does not come with the push button. You should be able to find one at your local hardware or lumber yard. Amazon also has them, I think.

It has push open/close only. I bought two of these sets last year, and I've had many compliments on how feminine they are.

The controls are inside the door when you pop it open. There is a button on the outside to click to get an automatic one minute, that is what I usually use. It actually works (and looks) pretty slick.

Its a push switch. When you press in, it turns on and stays pressed. To turn it off, you press again and it extend and stay extended.

You are 'in theory' correct! But, the actual unit doesn't come w/ the Push-Button ON/OFF switch; It comes w/ a Toggle ON/OFF switch, instead. I wanted the Push-Button style when I ordered mine but settled w/ the Toggle. The picture misrepresents the actual item...

It presses in from the bottom and the kerf holds it in place. You shouldn't have to remove the door. It does take some effort to press it in, in the shop it is sometimes tapped with a rUber or wooden mallet worse case.

It is a manual opening. However, there is a point when opening it where it wants to open all the way.

"american sense of self provides"?? Whatever...anyway, all of the more recent Panasonic models have many reviewers indicating issues with the door. I have one over 10 years old that does not have the pushbutton used to open the door so there is no button to break. I noticed the description on this unit as: "PLEASE NOTE: Upper-left corner of door has a small indentation to allow door to open smoothly". I do not see it in any of the pics. Does it really have this indentation? I would think using this would prevent it from breaking. My workplace has this same unit and it too broke. "american sense of self provides"??

Mine is automatic. When you open the door so far, it stays open until you pull it closed. We don't have a switch or anything like that.

The door opens either way simply by turning it up-side-down. It is the same either way.

It is a push button, but the opening to drink from is not large at all. It's just right. And it is super easy to clean.

yes the handle opens up.when you open the area where you put the key, there is an unlock handle button, just push and voile.. you can not attach to your door knob. i do wish it was a bit thinner.. it make it a tad cumbersom when you turn the door handle, but it is perfect for what i need it for. i am glad i purchased it. i was always worried that someone would not be able to get to her.. i am thinking about getting another one for my back door in case anyone ever gets locked out. that way i am not running around trying to find a hiding spot for my extra key.
