Is the door hard to open?

Push in is a little hard but not really. Average person should have no problem.

No...at first it seemed like it to me. The button seemed somewhat stiff. Now that I'm used to it, I know to press firmly, and the door pops right open. It takes a full PRESS...not just a tap, but once you know that, it's not hard at all. This is an excellent microwave, and we all love it.

Yes, gate is easy to open. I simply lift up the lath and move the gate forward or backwards to enter.

No. Only the door opens. Maybe you'd be able to build an adapter or modify it?

it is not a problem there is a small knob like piece on the inside for you to use. the only issue I have with the door is the seal where the door closes is difficult to keep attached.

When we were attaching the gate to the walls, it was hard to open/close. I believe my husband adjusted the tension on the screws going into the walls. Opens/closes great. We LOVE this gate!!!

I'm not sure what you consider hard to open but it does have a section where it catches so you can keep it slightly open to vent after use. I have purchased two of these toaster ovens (1 for me and 1 for my mother) and we have had them both over 2-3 years now with no issues.

It is not hard to open, I can open it with one hand while holding the baby. My 8 years old has no problems either. Hope this helps.

It's not bad, I wouldn't say it is difficult but you do have to have it lined up just right for it to sit properly. My opening is towards a corner & is hard to see so it usually takes me a try or 2 to get it on but I'm still very happy with it!

This is impossible to answer with any degree of certainty. It depends upon the height of the person, the height of the door and the strength of the person. I am rather short, almost 74 and the oven is above my stove. I do not have a problem and the door does not feel difficult to open. Not much pull is required to open, and not much force is required to close. Whether this is true for every unit I cannot say. Sorry to be so arbitrary, but there are too many variables.

It is hard to open unless you hold the button down and in toward the base then pull up. I usually hold the unit against me with the lock facing out to get leverage . And once the screw holding the lock became lose do I had to tighten it with my fingers to open it. It has been wonderful otherwise.

No. The directions were clear and not hard. We had to work on adjusting the doors so they hung correctly but it was no problem.

I think so. The door is really light. Once it has been released by the magnet, it moves quite freely.

The door is the only slight problem. Just keep your drill handy for the hinges.

Hi! If you look really close to the front you will see a really small button like hole. The button blends in with the color. You have to use a the tip of a ball point pin to push it in. Hold the button in for a few seconds than release, then push it in again and hold in, then at the same time press the square button, then the door will open. I hope this helps. Have a wonderfully bless day,Georgia

Maybe it's faulty? Ours is pretty easy to open...it takes two hands but it's easy.

It would be difficult but not inconceivable. However, I would save your money or buy something else that will actually have a door that stays closed.

I concur with Ann M. Terwillger. The door will be stiff but will open up. Open the door a few times so it will be less stiff.
