Hi,

We are about to replace our 28 year old Kenmore with a new refrigerator. *An

Read up on the ins and outs of current offerings in Consumer Reports.
Whether you choose to use their ratings as a guide is up to you, but
they have many technicians involved in real live tests which IMO are
well supplemented by anecdotal opinion from newsgroups. Bottom line,
never turn down a credible source of good information.
