I feel your pain. A word of advice, don't waste the money on consumer reports. I bought an online subscription that was of no help to me. What I found in researching as many brands as I could is that they all have issues. Ice maker was a top complaint for about every brand (not a big surprise) LG had compressor issues (class action lawsuit... and I STILL bought one) The reason I went LG was I found many brands with compressor issues as I did more research. I would have bought the same fridge I was replacing in stainless (Maytag) if my wife didn't absolutely hate the bottom meat and cheese drawer.
The problem I had with consumer reports was that their testing results wouldn't agree with the customer reviews that were actually attached to the report. When I'd see a fridge that rated well I'd look at the reviews below, see something negative, start researching that negative and find it was a fairly common issue with the model.
My advice: Go with the fridge you like that has the features and design you are looking for. For me it was the ability to move the shelves for best possible storage and a space saver in the door ice maker. The big knock on the LG & GE that has the same design for their ice maker is that it doesn't produce a lot of ice. I still have my Maytag as a basement fridge and will be connecting water to it for more ice production so the small ice bin really wasn't a factor for me.
