Definitely no closing this one with one hand.

All it takes is oil, and not that often either. I haven't oiled any hinges in a few years but they still open and close nice and smooth with one hand. I have thought about making a video of how easy these hoods are supposed to open and close. You don't want to know what I think of people with bent hoods.
