Do you prefer drop down or side open dryer door?

Martin, didn't you see my posting with our Norge dryer with the 3 way Hampr-Dor above??
Did you guys see today's Picture-of-the-Day, with the Blackstone brochure?
No matter which dryer door style you prefer, maybe we can all agree that this huge side-swinging "cabinet door" style is the worst? :-D

'60 Norge
At about age six I was leaning on the halfway down door our new,not even hooked up yet 1960 Norge dryer,peering intently into its newness. Matching new washer by its side.
Under my 'leaning on' weight,the door suddenly folded to its full down position that I did not know it had. My chin hit the door opening and that's where MY chin scar came from.
I don't like how clothes fly out of our SQ if the side opening door is opened too quickly while drying. But it's easier to access laundry and works better with the 'w' doors it sits behind.

To me, it's fairly incidental that I should get this make of dryer and the previous owner of our house may have bought it for its drop-down door...
I think I am partial (no pun intended) to it opening either way, but could you imagine how awkward the usually right-side dryer door opening would be?! You often cannot overcome this obstacle without compromising space, or your brand, unless you could reverse the door's opening...
My parents washer and dryer are kitty-corner from one another, but my mom had a Maytag, the one make offering a left-side door swing, (before the wider-use of reversible dryer doors, which her current Maytag employees allowing the opening to the left) but somehow wasn't much bothered by that large door intruding to the right from her Bradford...
I remember something opening downward in school, so in my amazement said "it opened like a Sears dryer, or a Whirlpol dryer, or a door for an oven"--and got the bullying tease of another kid imitating me to the laughing embarrassment of the rest of our fellow students... No future AW.oeg members or appliance fans any if them were!!!!

Of course, I forgot to mention that some laundry rooms I have seen & been in accommodate the more commonly right-opening dryer door opening, placing the connections on the appliance appropriately on that right, while the washer, there, to, in most installations, has remained along with all its connections on the left...
The floor plan in my mom's laundry is the same in a few other houses, so I as in the case of machines next to each other, see both door configurations (again, a lot of whom favor W-P/K-M) in that diagonally design...

Side-swing door for me. My grandmother had a Kenmore with the drop down door when I was little. It was hard for me to reach in back then.

Not as easy to reach in back when the bones are OLD also!
