"I own a counter top french door oven. I use it more than the drop down oven sitting next to it. With arthritis I have to straddle the pull down oven door, use a stick to pull the rack, carefully lift the hot item, shuffle back to stand up straight. Then lift the item over two feet o place on the counter. A french door oven takes less space to open the doors, remove the hot item then move over about a foot & half to counter, turn at the waist or take a step sideways. Much more efficient!!"
