Microwave with light door for older person to open and close

Any suggestions. A very basic microwave is being sought, but one that has a light door given weakness in wrists thus unable to open or close anything too heavy.

Thanks,

Belinda

Hi Belinda..

It may be difficult for someone to make a suggestion since everyone's wrist strength is different..

I know Panasonic has a few basic push button types..but if you could get to a store and try some of the appliances that might be better..

Both myself and my kids have newish Panasonic Genius 1100W NN-ST671S 32L mid-size microwave ovens ... lightweight, works fine for us.

I have got a Panasonic too, NN-ST641W 1100W my third Panasonic since 1980, compared to others which have  dials these with just push buttons, even to open the door, makes it very easy with arthritic hands.
