Thank you OP.

Many libraries will offer this for free online you will need a library card and probably need to update your online account.
Of course YMMV but it is worth looking into.

Also my big City Newspapers is also free through my library online account.

Wirecutter is pretty reliable when it comes to product reviews.

There seems to be a big disconnect between user reviews and CR reviews of refrigerators.

This. Also some large cities libraries online give access without asking for the library card.
