If that's what you want, then you will have to deal with counter items getting in the way of the doors
Current trays are only 27” deep. Counter is 24”. Is there a slider that goes more than its length? We wouldnt be sad if a slider could extend a 32” tray by 50”.
How deep are those upper cabinets behind those doors? Accurate makes slides in increments of two inches in even numbers. Make new drawer for more storage or that will allow you to pull them out further.
Its pretty convenient to have the bottom trays at counter level. The bottom doors are 18” tall. Rising 18” means giving up the entire bottom level which is where all the heavy stuff is stored. Lady friend doesnt want to store mixer at her chin height. Is sick of climbing on counter to access upper storage.
Goes under the lower cabinets right the top drawer. Rev-A-shelf mixer lift. All other heavy items should go under there on roll outs or large deep drawers. I am not usre how much counter space you have there, but its nice to not have to move items on the counter just to get at something behind those doors
Hinges: the thing that breaks is a piece of black plastic inside thats supposed to hold the door closed. I thought it broke because the doors are too heavy and the plastic fatigues.
Blum hinges is all I have for you.
Soffet: agree it makes it difficult to access top shelf. Theres some 6” metal ducting up there for oven vent. I think primary issue is access to the low storage.
Strangest thing about this situation is that area beneath counter is very spoken for. We get lots of storage above and a big spare counter, but its strange that under cant be used.
Behind is house entry way. Above are bedrooms.
Entire kitchen replace: probably not. We would need a reason. I wouldnt mind better sliders everywhere because what we have sucks.

Something has to give so those counter space can be freed up.
