I don't trust CR one bit. My biggest issue is how they choose products to review in a category review. If they are reviewing refrigerators, say, they will often review multiple models from some manufacturers and none from others. In this way, they are stacking the deck before the review even begins. It's like the old scam that asks you "Do you want A or B?" without telling you that C is also available.
The other issue I have with them is with rating long-term reliability. Sometimes they will provide the results of customer satisfaction surveys, but usually they don't. Assessing long-term reliability is not easy, but a product review is not complete without it. It doesn't matter if a washing machine can get your whites whiter than white if it's dead within 2 years. The #1 requirement for any (expensive) appliance is that it keeps doing what it claims to do long after you've bought it.
Seems to be the same as this, but with steel frame around window:

It looks like it does have the improved smart inverter compressor- but I hear even these are still problematic.
I think the Instaview is a silly feature (would much rather have the quick access door like Samsung has).
All that said, still real tempted by this- it is a great price for a counter-depth french door refrigerator at this size and feature set.
