Mitsubishi Electric 562L Multi Drawer MR-EX562W-N-A (Platinum Light)

A place for everything and everything in its place :) – Love the design. Organised space. Initially thought is would be small but with separate space for fruit, veg, cheese, ice, ice cream, frozen items, bottles, etc, the only thing left on the fridge shelf is last night's leftovers! I have organised it a bit more (if that's even possible!) by placing three Decor Tellfresh 4Litre containers side by… Read more

side in the veg drawer (they fit perfectly) to keep veg separated from each other. I also kept the two old egg trays from my old fridge to keep in this fridge shelf (as we buy lots of eggs). I keep water bottles and soft drink cans in the front section of the veg drawer. I use the disposable low plastic containers 500ml and 750ml rom Coles to freeze things as you can easily stack 2 in the top freezer tray. Love the quick cool option after shopping trip and the quick ice making in case I forget to fill the water tub. The veg definitely stay fresher much longer than they did in our old fridge.

I would have gone for the bigger fridges from Mitsubishi Electric just for a bigger freezer section but this was the only fridge that fit in our older design kitchen with dedicated enclosed space for fridge.

The only issue I'm having is that the top tray in the main freezer section gets stuck at the back most of the time and doesn't automatically slide out when I open the freezer.

Amazing Fridge – The look of the fridge is a little odd but functionality, space and performance are fabulous. The fridge has a compartment for everything and when you adjust your practice and put things where they belong it works really well. It's quiet and apart every now and then you hear the ice fall into the compartment that provides regular ice. You need… Read more

to regularly fill a jug with water that sits in the main fridge compartment. An easy task.

The main compartment has french doors that each have double bottle compartments in the doors. The main body of the fridge allows for large pots and cakes to be placed within it and it has a push back shelf as well as an adjustable shelf that raises and lowers.

The freezer is located in the second bottom compartment so you don't need to bend down. You also have a double shelf within the freezer that makes locating items easy.

I love the vegetable crisper because it's large and has a second shelf as well as keeps food dry so they don't rot.

In the central compartment is a mini freezer section which is handy for foods that don't need to freeze rock hard.

The space I had to fit a fridge in wouldn't fit most large volume fridges but this fridge has a special cooling system that allows for less thick walls so it fit within the space I had rather than go down in capacity to a 400 ltr fridge. I highly recommend this fridge.

Perfectly Designed Fridge. Fantastic after sales support – We looked at getting the best fridge at any price, looking to own the fridge for more than 10 years. Our prior fridge lasted 15 years. Out of all the difference models (Japanese, Korean, German, Chinese), this particular series of Mitsubishi was the best because of the thoughtfulness of its design, long warranty (10 year) and high reliability (All… Read more

Japanese made) from the high volume of positive reviews. Post-purchase, the customer support has been fantastic.

I'll touch on the design and after sales support.

1. Thoughtful Design

More and more, our family seek products where the designers and engineers have thought carefully about how the product will be used and how it will make the customer happy in small ways every day. This is definitely one of those products where you can see the attention and care put in my the designers.

Although the fridge is small, it has highly efficiency volume utilisation. I knew this in theory before I bought the fridge, but still, was a little concerned that since it was smaller than our old fridge, we may run into issues. I was wrong. The 562l is accurate. We have a family of 4. The main fridge is never fully packed and the invariable 3 to 4 bottles of 2litre milk, juice etc. is able to be stored in the vegetable drawer - which should be set to the coldest setting (H) if used to store milk. The adjustable fridge trays seems like a small thing, but they enable dead shelf space to be eliminated. Very innovative.

The versa tray is able to freeze as normal, or slightly less frozen. It is meant to be used for storing meats for imminent use, but we use it for ice-cream - which is always ready to scoop. This means we can set the larger freezer drawer to a deep freeze for bulk meat purchases.

The fridge is very quiet as other reviewers have pointed out.

People have asked about the colour - it looked much wamer in the showroom than it does in my kitchen. In my kitchen it simply looks like a stainless steel appliances. It is coated, so does not pick up kids fingerprints.

2. After sales support

We bought the fridge on sale from Harvey Norman (display model). Some parts were missing on delivery and once we started using the fridge, we realised that the ice-maker was not working. On closer inspection, it was clear that there were missing parts in the ice making mechanism. On calling Mitsubishi customer care, Teresa in particular was helpful in sending out a technician to assess th problem. Missing parts were identified and Peter, from the WA Mitsubishi office was prompt in call me to advise that replacement parts for the fridge had been ordered. All in all, terrific support and very satisfied with their responsiveness.

I hope Mitsubishi continue to sell and support this premium series in Australia. In 15-20 years, if required, this fridge will be replaced by another Mitsubishi because of Thoughtful Design and Exceptional After Sales Care.

Great fridge – Reliable, consistent fridge. Surprised it fits so much in it being draws. Icemaker is fantastic. Verdi draw very convenient. Controls are easy to use. Maintains consistent temperature. Handy just opening one side of fridge to grab milk out. Compartments in the fridge are really well thought out. Highly recommend this fridge.  Show details

Perfect for braking foods into different sections but should have bought next size up – Our Mitsubishi MR is perfect for storing things in different compartments making it easy to open only to part of the fridge or freezer you need things from rather than opening the entire door! Would have given it full stars but one star deducted because we should have bought the next size up as sometes after a single shop we fill it up to the max and wish we had a little more room  Show details

Best fridge ever – We moved into an apartment and wanted a fridge that had the most storage and it also had to look good and this fit the bill. The ice maker is amazing as is the Soft Freeze drawer. Heaps of space in the drawers. Already planning on buying another for our new apartment in WA.  Show details

Not what we expected – We purchased this and had high hopes. We were disappointed. Our old fridge (different brand) died on us, hence the need for a new one. We purchased this one because of the thin carcass, meaning that we could fit more "fridge" in the standard space. This one met all our requirements, until we filled it up with fresh vegetables. The vege drawer is… Read more

rubbish and just rots the food. You're lucky if anything lasts a week. We are constantly throwing out vegetables that would have lasted a lot longer in our old fridge (had it not died of old age). I wouldn't recommend this fridge to anyone purely because of the vege compartment. The bottle shelf in the door was not designed for big bottles of milk either.

On the plus side, it is quiet, the versa drawer is fantastic, and it's nice to have an icemaker that doesn't need to be plumbed in.

I wouldn't recommend it.

So far so good – We bought the MREX562 fridge 2weeks ago & so far, are very happy with it. It is quiet, it keeps temperatures accurately (my fridge thermometer has never had it so good). It's ice maker is an unexpected pleasure: we have a water filter so we're happy not to have to plumb water to the fridge. The freezer is smaller than my old one, but the versa… Read more

drawer makes up for it. The French doors are thick & take a bit of getting used to, with double thickness shelves which only fit a 2 or 3L milk bottle behind other jars.

We don't like the colour, would prefer white or s/steel, but in the small size it only comes in the brownish Platinum. Ourbuilt-in cupboard space is only 1710mm high, so we didn't have a lot of choice in fridges anyway.

The old upside down Westinghouse was 410L & still working fine (gone to friends holiday house). We wanted something energy efficient & interesting: French doors, freezer drawers & if possible, a bit bigger. the Mitsi is 3.5 stars & 560L, it offers what we were after in a compact & efficient package.

April 7th, 2017 Update: Veg Drawer disappointing

Further to my earlier review, we are happy with the ice maker, fridge space (although 2litre milk carton is tight squeeze behind a double shelf in the door) It's quiet, easy to clean but the veg drawer should be where the freezer drawer is & definitely the engineering needs to be improved to keep fruit & veg Fresh!!

Terrible Cooling, sending food rotten, non existent customer service from Mitsubishi – I am an extremely unhappy customer, as the fridge is not even 6 months old! I have been trying to contact and get a straight answer out of Mitsubishi 5 times by email and once by phone, they have only called on one occasion and promised to call back...still waiting over a day later! Mitsubishi customer service is non existent from what I have… Read more

encountered, which is appalling! After 5 emails and one phone call to Mitsubishi, and 1 email and 45 phone calls to and from the Retailer, if I wanted to get the fridge serviced it would take at least a week and several phone calls to even manage that. DO NOT BUY THIS FRIDGE if you live in a warm climate whatsoever like Far North Queensland, as it does not cool adequately whatsoever and I don't think it would even cope with Victoria's odd 30 to 40 degree days. I have lost over $80 worth of meat alone in the last fortnight, not including all the fruit and vegetables, cream, cheese, milk and other condiments such as salad dressing, or the other meat I have found rancid in the past 5 months. Just found the whipping cream with mould in it yet again, and this is the second time in just over a week, yet cream is still within use by date? Does not cool adequately enough even on highest (H) settings for entire fridge. Freezer and versa draw is the only thing that works ok. Vegetables are not really cold, full of condensation/water, and go mouldy within 2 days, yet fridge is not set to moisture setting and set on high yet again. I have found Black Mould inside the water container for the icemaker, even though it only gets lifted out and filled with bottled spring-water and immediately replaced within seconds. Needless to say Fridge is not at all power saving when it has to be set to high, and still does not keep icy cold, only barely chilled. I have found at least 5 bad reviews on this model, 4 of which involve cooling problems, I just wish I had of seen the other reviews BEFORE purchasing :( I would consider another model, but not this one!!!

Grocery swallower – For the external size, it absolutely packs more in than a standard fridge. Huge right deep door shelves pack lots of sauces and condiments in.While the left side door packs 2x 1kg yoghurt, plus a 2 litre milk bottle on the bottom section. An extra bonus we found was that you can sneak an extra 2 litre bottle of milk on the bottom of the fridge… Read more

compartment in the middle where the two doors meet. Fruit and veges last incredibly well. Ice maker gets used heaps, just keep pulling the ice forward to allow new ice to fall down at the back of the drawer, and you will nver have ice stick into one big lump which I see in some fridges. And my wife loves it too which is the most important thing :)

Freezer magnets fell off – Freezer magnet has come out of its casing and now the alarm goes off every time you attempt to close freezer. Is there some sort of recommended adhesive to stick the magnet back into its casing? Show details

Very good small fridge – We bought this size because we did not need a big one when we live in very close to the shops. I liked the ice maker does not need plumbing connection, too. I like the small section for light freeze, I am using it to store meat & I can slice the meat very thin after lightly freeze it. I love the large vegetable section which I can store some large drink bottle as well.  Show details

Exceeded expectations in most areas – The excellent performance and longevity of our prior Mitsubishi fridge made that brand our first choice for a new fridge. the position of the fridge in the kitchen made a double door model the most obvious choice, but the height of the space limited the size of the model. The fridge scores highly in its ability to keep food fresh, especially fruit… Read more

and vegetables; its quietness and the ice compartment. The ability to quickly chill/freeze compartments is also useful. Whereas the capacity of the fridge was the same as the prior model, its compartmentalisation and the icemaker means the actual usable space seems less and therefore more of challenge to fit things in. However, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. Hence if choosing such a fridge my experience suggests that if your current fridge is a conventional one, you will probably need one of larger capacity,

Perfect in every respect – Now nearly 2 years old and hasn't missed a beat. The best thing about it for me is the little Versa drawer (not sure what it is for) but its the perfect drawer to put a few bottles of white wine in and chills them very quickly. I also like the warning beeps if a drawer or door is not fully closed.  Show details

Just wonderful – It platinum, it looks good and it has draws just great 2 years in and still going brilliantly . Love the ice maker, love the freezer two way draws. I love and my friend and family love it too. I had a certain area to fit , My fridge and this was one of the only ones available, so lucky with it.  Show details

Smaller freezer space than what you imagine for the stated size – I love all the compartments in this fridge particularly the huge fruit and vegetable drawer with the top tray or more delicate fruits like avocados and peaches. The ice maker is exceptional as you don't have to plumb the fridge to water and it has a separate draw. All compartments can be individually programmed. The extra freezer drawer is a… Read more

bonus. The main freezer drawer is a let down as it is hard to reach things at the rear and is difficult to stack without items getting caught on the top slide tray. The 2 small doors for the fridge section also make access to the inside a bit cumbersome. One door for the fridge would be perfect. Despite this I wouldn't swap it. I love it!

100% Love this fridge - no regrets – This fridge is super quiet - you can't hear it running at all (I have it positioned in an open plan kitchen/living room and was really worried about noise after hearing an Electrolux plugged in at the store which had a high pitched squeal - the Mitsubishi is almost silent by comparison). The functionality of the fridge takes some getting used to… Read more

in that there are a number of specialised compartments (you have to put your food in the drawer that's most suitable) but the up side to this is that your food will be kept in peak freshness for so much longer. The fridge is far more spacious than the outside reveals - the versa drawer is amazing for freezing food like meat and fruit etc without it getting freezer burn or that 'defrosted taste'. The vegetable compartment is excellent (I would suggest putting your carrots and similar up top in the main fridge section - they do better without the humidity of the bottom drawer). The ice machine is quick and easy - it uses a fully removable tank that can easily be sanitized (unlike permanent connected pipes and tanks which can't be cleaned once they get that 'plastic' 'mildewy' smell). The control panel is quick and easy to operate and the lighting inside is great. I would not buy another brand of fridge after having owned this fridge - it is truly worth the money.

Love it! – This fridge is worth every cent! It's super quiet, even when making and emptying the ice tray due to the noise reducing mat in the ice drawer, and the temperature control for every compartment works amazingly. The touch panel is easy to use and the finish doesn't show up fingerprints and is easy to clean. Particularly love the verso freezer and completely separate drawer for fruit and veggies.  Show details

Premium product - we LOVE our fridge!! – We purchased this fridge almost 3 years ago so I feel it's definitely time for a review. We didn't even think of spending the money or considering Mitsubishi - but this is well worth the investment. We have a small kitchen so we purchased the MR-EX562, and this fridge is unbelievably roomy, yet compact. It's well designed and so functional.… Read more

There is a place for everything. The ice maker is a dream to use, and no need for plumbing - just refill the tank and you'll have ice in hours (or even shorter as there is a dedicated setting).

it's an extremely quiet fridge, something that took us awhile to get used to - you might only hear the ice being made it's comparable to a quiet knock :) It's an easy fridge to clean and I especially love the light in the fridge, it makes everything look so clean and crisp!

The soft freeze can be converted into a full freeze but we love having the option of putting things we plan on cooking later in the week in soft freeze so it frees up space in the main freezer.

I could go on and on (and it's just a fridge, but honestly!!), but t you DON'T want to scrimp on a fridge or have to deal with repairs. The reviews speak for themselves. Compare this to Samsung or any other brand and it's a no brainer. Spend the extra money and have a fridge that is reliable, energy efficient and ticks all the boxes. Just a note though - make sure if you are purchasing any Mitsubishi fridge, make sure you get the ones manufactured in Japan.

Perfect Size – This fridge has an amazing capacity for storage and use. The temp control is great, the ice making is fantastic and actually works and the multi use soft freeze compartment can be used as additional freezing. Vegetables last longer in the crisper draw as well. Can't hear it working and is beautifully finished.  Show details

This product is perfectly suitable for my new house – This fridge is perfectly designed for not big area but can lodge a lot of stuff inside it I love it and it suits my new kitchen I had the big side by side fridge before and it was too hard to locate in different houses and find enough space for that in kitchen.  Show details

Very clever design - wish I have bought it earlier – This is the only fridge I can find at this capacity with so many functional compartments that is under 1700mm tall to fit in my old fridge space in the kitchen. The vegetables drawer is spacious to hold weekly vegetables and fruits for a family of four and maintains their freshness and moisture. The front of the drawer can hold extra 2L fruit… Read more

juices or milk when the top fridge runs out of space. The sliding trays in both the vegetables drawer and freezer drawer provide extra space for fruits, herbs and bread or frozen meals. Making ice is easy and can be rapidly made in less than 30 minutes. The soft freeze compartment is good for use to keep meat for tonight's dinner or set to provide extra freezer space. With all the above compartments in full use, it leaves much more rooms for me to store even a 4lb cake in the fridge. Soft cheese, yoghurt and butter are all safely separated from other items... Loving this fridge more everyday since I got it five months ago. It is more expensive than other similar capacity fridge in the market. However I have saved much from not wasting any food rotten in my fridge like before.

best fridge ever – I love this fridge, although it is very expensive compare to other fridge, but it is easy to use and a lot of space to store. it is also easy to clean and the fridge is very quiet. And the vegetable and fruit can keep loner than my previous fridge.  Show details

This is the best fridge I have ever owned – This fridge is so quiet you can not hear it operating. The temperatures in all compartments are exact. It is also easier than most to clean. The design is excellent with a combination of drawers and doors. I would without doubt buy this product again. Good warranty and that comfort of being made in Japan  Show details

Great price and does the job well – I wasn't sure about buying a Mitsubishi fridge as I've always had Kalvinator, but the price was brilliant and came with a 5 year warranty which couldn't be beaten. It's a nice quiet fridge and has never had an issue. I would recommend you have a look at one if you're in the market for a new fridge.  Show details

Amazing design and efficiency – This is the best refrigerator/freezer I've ever purchased. Versatile in design, so many user friendly capabilities and very good on space. The fridge section at the top is small enough for day to day things and the big pull out drawer below offers more space for food and drinks. the ice maker is THE BEST !! So if you're looking for an amazing fridge packed with so much convenience - think no more!  Show details

Absolutely best fridge freezer I have ever had. Pay more and get so much more than other comparable – I had to find a fridge to fit the space of our previous Westinghouse 2 door 606lt model fridge. New model was much bigger in external size and would not fit cavity space. Doing my research I found the Mitsubishi 562 lt model. It does everything it's specifications says and also other reviewers have found. My husband was sceptical on paying so much… Read more ·  1

more than our previous budget ( $1500-1800) but now would not give it up. Loves the ice cube maker, which has no need to be plumbed in. A big plus. Have gotten use to the freezer and vege drawer. Just meant we had to pack differently. Easy to use adjustments on front door panel digital controls. Motor is very quiet. I cannot tell when it is running. Our Westinghouse use to wheeze and rattle when turning off, and also could not maintain fridge temps. My meat now lasts so much longer in its meat drawer. Especially chicken which is easy to go off if not maintained at a low temp. Having the milk and bottle in the door means less cool air escaping. Very strong hinges on fridge doors means weight in doors is not an issue. RRP at most large retailers is $3200-3400 without delivery. However I got online for price quotes and found most cheaper prices were in Sydney and Melbourne. We live in a country town an hour from Brisbane CBD, so delivery and removal of our annoying crappy Westinghouse was a necessity. Up pops RT Edwards with a price if $1800 plus a small delivery fee and removal of old fridge. Bought it online, had a phone call within 24 hours to say it was currently not in stock in Brisbane as it was a new product line. Advised it would be 7 days and the would keep us informed. Yes they did follow up exactly as promised and delivered as promised at the appointed time with a phone call an hour before hand. Old fridge taken away. Plugged in our new beautiful fridge and never looked back. Only issue is I put 4 cans of coke in small freezer drawer and forgot them!!! Crash, bang in middle of night and when I realised the next day it was a long clean up. Actually easy to clean inside as seamless casing and the coke had frozen so easier to remove than wet coke. So freezer drawer does what it says and is adjustable in temps if you want to use it for a different purpose. Great for chilling drink cans, wine, beer or cooling food. Easy wipe down outside surface with warm soapy water and towel dry. Absolutely best investment we have ever made. Oh, walls on the fridge are thinner than other fridges so you get more inside space than comparable products for the cavity space. So pay the extra, and smile at the best fridge I have had. Can recommend RT Edwards also for price and excellent customer service.

So far....So good – This really is some Fridge....It is so quiet, almost silent. All the different compartments are functioning as they are supposed to. I have the Mahogany colour, which is set with a mirror reflection, so, if I need to find a negative, here it is...It holds the smudges and finger prints on the main French doors. A small issue, which can be wiped… Read more

occasionally away.

An EXCELLENT purchase.

Well designed, made in Japan.

A quality product, with a 5 year warranty.

A VERY easy 5 Star rating.

YES.....I am a VERY happy customer, to date.

The design really makes sense – Didn't have a great impression of the Mitsubishi brand because of a very random personal reason, but this fridge changed me. Got this fridge when we moved into our new place as our old fridge didn't fit, so we really wasn't looking for something this 'high end'. When I first saw this fridge, I laughed at it as there are 4 drawers and looked like… Read more

a Transformer, but the salesperson at Seconds World was very informative and explain IN DETAILS on why this fridge is good and we really didn't regret getting it.

The design is amazing and every part of it made sense. This fridge comes in 3 sizes, I would consider the small one (which I have now) or the biggest one, which from memory is 7xxL. If you have enough space, get the big one, the shelves would be glass instead of plastic.

perfect choice – It took a while to finally decide on the purchase of this fridge; it appeared to be quite expensive for the size however it was one of only a few which would fit into our existing space within the kitchen. After much shopping around for the best price, a purchase was made and it was a fantastic decision! The sections within the fridge are perfect.… Read more

Everything fits well and it must be the must efficient use of space ever. I love having a large crisper with easy access to fruit and vegetables. There is much less wastage than before as all spaces within the fridge can easily be seen and food is less likely to be forgotten. The fridge is a very quiet unit, I really never notice any noise from it. It looks modern and is very easy to keep clean. The one section of the fridge which I doubted we would ever use was the ice compartment..... it has never stopped being used! Such a useful section especially during a hot summer.

For our family of two adults and two teenagers, this fridge has made a perfect purchase.

Very Quiet Fridge – You pay for what you get. I doubt this fridge sells many units, but it would be one of the best fridges you can get. It is ideal for an apartment because it is so quiet. The hum of my apartment AC is louder than this machine. If you have an obsession with quiet machines (e.g.: washing/dryer and air conditioners), consider this machine. … Read more

Really appreciate the design, it has seperate compartments for fruit/veges, frozen items and meat.

It can keep a banana fresher than I would consider normal.

It does not "freeze" vegetables when they are in the vegetable cabinet.

Advantages:

The shelfs are nicely sized.

Shelf are adjustable in height and very high quality.

562L model is more than enough for 2 people.

Plumbing free ice maker (which I use surprisingly often).

5 year warranty - Don't think many fridges offers this kind of support, would be interesting to see when the years role by what Mitsubishi offers on support.

Disadvantages:

Expensive, you would be paying a pretty penny for this one.

Computer can be a little slow when selecting the modes, maybe a little to many modes to choose from (e.g: to many 'clicks' to select a setting).

Excellent Fridge – Replaced 29 year old Fisher Pykel when it gave up the ghost. Was not intending to spend this much on a replacement , however once I took Hubby with me and he wanted to look at all the fridges this was his preferred choice. I love the ice maker and quick chill , no need to have water plumbed to fridge so that is a bonus. Vegetable compartment is… Read more

excellent and large keeps food fresh. Fridge maintains excellent temperature this stay fresh long after best before dates . Very quite and excellent energy efficiency . Huge advancements in energy efficiency in 29 years . I don't freeze a lot of food cook fresh so could be only downside for someone looking to freeze a lot of food, otherwise cant fault it

Great fridge – makes ice like a breeze; much better option than chilled water as it chills easily twice as much. The fridge is quiet, like a silent sentinel watching over my kitchen. All the separate compartments are terrific and space effective; the veggies are always crisp and fresh. There are so, so many pro's and I can't think of one negative  Show details

Good fridge – Had for almost a year no problem. The drawer structure is good, ice tray really convenient. It could be a little small for a family but for me it's perfect. Only problem is getting a case of beer into it, you end up using the crisper. It does easily take a large pizza box though. Otherwise quiet and good build quality.  Show details
