My favourite Fridge Ever – We have now had our fridge about a year. (date for review is a guess) I love it. Key reasons why it's is great: 1. Size. We upgraded from aprx 410L, with teens, it wasn't big enough. This has plenty of room & bonus, French door so full sized shelves. The door shelves on both sides fit large milk bottles, 2 ltr jugs & tall containers. We use 4-5… Read more · 2
2lt Tupperware bottles constantly, so they fit well in both the bottom & middle shelf on the right. 2. Practical. It's french door style, we can put platters/cakes etc in with no trouble. The shelves are the solid type, unlike old wire style, so no dripping down to below. Easy to clean & see through. Temperature is consistent & we don't have things freezing up or getting warm. We haven't adjusted it from the recommended settings. We are happy with the ice maker also, as we just didn't want one needing to be plumbed in. Experience there means we know they can be hugely expensive if there is an issue, and there often is. It's really not that hard to fill up the multiple trays. They stay frozen too, it doesn't defrost the ice cube tray like our old fridge did. 3. Wide size that maximises inside size. We considered other brands, but this one took up the same size as others, but gave us a much bigger fridge inside. The freezer is a great size too & we can fit quite a lot in it. 4. Looks- well, who wants an ugly fridge? :) This one looks great & many comment on it. It is incredibly easy to wipe down with glass cleaner, & the silver just doesn't show many marks at all.
The warranty on this is fabulous, although we're hoping that will be unnecessary. The delivery guys were great with helping set it up, & we were very clear in telling the household to open the doors from the handles below for the fridge, & handles for the freezer.
Things I would prefer: The dairy & fruit/veg drawers shallower & went the full width of the fridge. That there were more options to move the fridge shelves-it’s really good, but I like to move things around a bit… I also like to store things in containers including my fruit & veg, which is why shallower full width drawers would work better for me. I think all Fridge makers should take this on board. Deep fridges don't work well - wider ones do. Ultimately, this has been a Great fridge, much better fridge than the Samsung 410L we had for 10 years prior, (had known problems that they repaired but wasn't happy with it in the end) & I'm hopeful we can have this one for as long, if not longer. This Mitsubishi is miles ahead. It is quiet, it doesn't give us grief & works as a fridge should. Mitsubishi seem to have a good handle on air con & fridges, so that makes sense. Shop around & you'll get a good deal.
Nice addition in the house – Very nice fridge, highly quality and has a plenty of space but requires more standing space for milk canes. Black colour of the fridge is beautiful addition to my house theme. I would highly recommend this product. Show details

Lives up to the good reviews!! – "UPDATE" July 2023 (over 2 years later) and STILL the best appliance we have EVER purchased, bar none. Never misses a beat and we never run out of space!! Bought this fridge primarily for the great reviews and for what are a very tough audience on Product Review. Once again, you can't beat reviews from people who actually purchased the fridge,… Read more
not someone being paid to say how good it was. So what do I think of the fridge?? Absolutely LOVE it, so does everyone who has seen it. So much space and so well laid out. This fridge does things I'll never know, but my kids will. Can't fault it a month on...***** If you buy one, you will be a hard person to please if you don't think you've bought right....:Update: 26/08/2021 - 3 Months on and the fridge is still the focal point in our Kitchen. We have found no vices with this fridge, absolutely none!! Best appliance I have ever purchased on every level. Mitsubishi products from now on, will be high priority for me.
Very Big Very Good – Mitsubishi had not been on our list but a friend recommended looking at them. We had been looking at some cheaper fridges but decided to spend the extra for quality. This fridge feels like it will last 20 years. Originally we were looking at a Westinghouse and then a Hisense french door fridge. But decided to spend the extra $500-$800 for 100L… Read more
more capacity and much better quality. The internal shelves and drawers just felt much sturdier and moved more easily. Plus the 4 star energy rating was appealing.
It is a very large fridge, don't forget to measure your front door to ensure it fits. We had to remove our security screen to get it through. Also consider any tight bends you might have to negotiate.
The fridge looks great once in. The design is clean, functional and slightly industrial looking. Its not ugly by any means, but its not all that stylish. Would have loved the black as the metallic finish looks amazing but would not have suited our white kitchen.
Glass on the doors is fantastic. Wipes down easily and with the white version you can use white board markers to write on it. Only down side with the glass is that fridge magnets don't work.
Periodically when its refrigeration cycle starts up and it can make a lot of gurgling noises. This last for less then a minute and after that its virtually silent.
The fridge has acres of space and most of the time it feels like we've hardly filled it. The internal lighting is quite good and its easy to see what is in the fridge.
So far we're very happy with the fridge and glad we looked at Mitsubishi and spent the bit extra.
Update: 07/03/2023 - We've now had this fridge for almost two years. I'm still as pleased with it today as when I first wrote this review. If any family or friends ever mention fridges I immediately recommend the Mitsubishi. If you have the space for this fridge, I would thoroughly recommend it.
Very nice fridge/freezer, but – We just bought this fridge, not cheap but very roomy, and very quiet, notwithstanding other reviews. It also looks great and we use the glass on the front of the doors to write events on (with a blackboard marker, NOT a permanent one!). The 4-star energy rating was another reason to buy, the freezer compartment is filled with drawers, so very… Read more
energy efficient. The somewhat futuristic settings, invisible unless you need them, are a nice touch. And 5 year warranty is instilling some confidence that the company is behind this product.
However, the temperature setting and indication are not very practical. Nowhere on or in the fridge/freezer can we find what the actual temperature inside is, you need to put thermometers in to be able to check that. Also, setting the temperature cannot be done in terms of temperature, but in temperature classes (less cold, cold, colder and combinations) that are supposed to correlate with a certain temperature. You need your manual for to find the table. For instance: we want 4 C in our fridge. That is not available, only 3 and 5C. We also found that the classes are not reflecting the actual temperature in the fridge. We needed the cold/colder combination that the manual says should be 1 C to get to the below the 5 degrees (see also the DBarton review). And yes, we used two different thermometers to measure. We had expected a more practical approach to temperature setting and indication, which are such a crucial part of a fridge/freezer function. A child lock on the settings would also be helpful.
It took almost 24 hours for the fridge and freezer to reach their set temperatures, so we hope that the cooling capacity of this fridge is up to the task to keep such a big compartment to the set temperature in our sunny Queensland. Watch this space.
If not for the temperature controls (simpler is not always better), we would have given it five stars.
Positive reviews
Extremely Happy. Great Fridge!!! – Great looking, excellent performing fridge and easy to clean. We have had so many comments on its look even after 2 years of ownership. Great value for money and with a 5 year warranty and 10 year warranty on the compressor, nothing comes close to it.
had this unit for 5 years has performed faultlessly not 1 issue – what can i say works perfectly, because its an inverter fridge it dosent stop so there is no start up unless there is a power outage , it makes no noise like non inverter fridges so it continually runs at around 65watts except a daily defrost cycle which runs your daily power sage around 1.5 Kwh per day. we most happy Show details
Fabulous Fridge – This exterior of refrigerator looks amazing, several people have passed comment however nice it looks however what I am most impressed with is the consistent temperature it maintains, fruit and vegies stay fresh, shelves are sturdy , it is easy to clean. The highest shelves in door are a bit high for me to reach, and it is difficult to see what is… Read more
in these shelve , maybe a transparent material for these top shelves would be good, the row of led lights at front results in slightly sub optimal lighting at rear of fridge although I still Highly recommend this fridge and would purchase again despite a few very minor concerns
Negative reviews
12 months old now noisey – Fridge is only 12 months old but has started making a humming noise. Noise comes and goes but lasts for ages. Turning on Eco mode seems to silence it temporarily. any thoughts Show details
Dents on the Door of the Stainless Steel MR-L710EG-ST-A Fridge – We purchased this fridge in October 2017 from Harvey Norman, delivered in December 2017. We had built a new house and was looking at complementing the stainless steel finish of the Oven and other kitchen appliances. After various reviews we settled on this fridge as we were interested in a 4 door fridge. In one of the reviews there was a mention… Read more
of dents on the fridge appearing however this did not deter me as I thought having a 5 year warranty would address this issue if it did come up. About 6 months ago, dents started appearing on the right fridge door of the fridge and this has now spread to the right freezer door. This now looks cheap alongside the other stainless steel appliance all SMEG brand. On reporting the issue with Mitsubishi Service, they are indicating that this is user inflicted and not covered under warranty after sending the pics. The fridge is in a position with plenty of clearance and there is no way these dents can be inflicted. Right now there are 7 dents on the Fridge section in various areas and 2 dents on the freezer section. I spoke to the service dept person to send someone out to have a look, to which the reply was we will have to pay a contractor to come out and since there no warranty on this we will not. He also said go back to where you purchased it from and have them address it. I said I will have to take this up with the Ombudsman, to which he indicated, YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. He was very condescending and not willing to even consider my view. When we were evaluating fridges it was a toss up between LG and Mitsubishi, if I had known better about this service approach I would have, in hindsight opted for LG. The fridge works well, no issues, the dents are the issues for no fault of ours. Not sure when the dents will stop appearing and the look will get worse and worse. If anyone is looking for a stainless steel fridge DO NOT GO FOR THIS FRIDGE as this could occur with yours as well. My next step is the Ombudsman to address this issue. I have rated it as bad because of by experience with MITSUBISHI.
Very Noise Fridge – Bought the fridge back in mid-end December 19 from HN. When it came, I had told the salesperson that this fridge has been very noisy, the motor sound is loud. He then told me is normal, the fridge will run now and then or when the temperature in the room is hot. So I left it as it is. When I moved in in Jan 20, the noise has been going on, which I… Read more
think it is normal since the salesperson said so.
Till my friend visited my place in Feb 20, he said it is not right, cause he bought the 630L model of the same range from the same salesperson, it is very quiet. So I told the salesperson again, he then get Mitsubishi to send technician over to have a look. Of course, whenever a technician appears, problem will not appears. Then the technician said he can't do much since the noise didn't appear when he was here. He said this is an inverter system fridge, it is much louder than normal fridge. As long as it is not annoying, it is normal. I told him it is annoying as it is really loud. I could even heard it from the first room right at the entrance. I doubt what he said is true because my friend's is quiet, and the reviews here also said is very quiet fridge.
Then last week because my shift work has been reduced and we can't go anywhere, I get to stay at home more. So I tried recorded down the time of noise starts and when it stops. Then I realised the noise appears more often and long than what I noticed previously. It is mentally annoying if I do not have the TV/music on. I can't even take a nap on my couch or concentrate to read a book on my couch.
The fridge is great in many ways, is spacious, temperature is good, vegetable and fruit last longer, EXCEPT it is really NOISY!

Failing just outside warranty – Fridge is just over 5 years old, so just out of warranty. Door flapper failed twice in the less than 12 months. Service technician told us likely relay/motherboard issue that is causing them to fail. Contacted Mitsubishi, who came out replaced door flapper and faulty board despite being out of warranty. Technician also sent us a replacement door seal as ours had a small amount of tearing. Great company that stands behind their products. Show details

Just Perfect – We have had this fridge for 18 months and it is a wonderful fridge. Keeps everything perfectly and looks amazing in our new kitchen. This is our 2nd mitsubishi fridge with the original still going strong after 10 years with no faults. Definitely worth the extra $ for top quality. Show details
Best fridge – This is the best fridge, never given us any problems. We bought it in 2015 and hasn't missed a beat. It has all copper piping, not plastic. Very even cool, it has no spots where it freezes except in the freezer. Show details
Bloody good fridge ! – The old F&P finally packed it in after many years of service. We've had this Mitsubishi 710l fridge for about a year and it's been great. Very modern and spacious. Very quiet (especially considering its size). Looks great. Has a high quality 'feel' to it too - the thick doors open/close smoothly, the glass shelves are strong. The led lighting… Read more
looks great. Very clean lines & curves make easy cleaning. The front glass panel also looks fantastic and modern.
Note: This is a big sized unit so make sure you measure up properly. It wouldn't fit through my narrow inside door frames and had to be taken in via rear yard. Also, be aware that the front panel is glass - so you can't plaster it with photos, bills, and your kid's paintings from school.
Very minor quibble - the freezer drawer below the ice tray has some small indents which appear to have no purpose however it means I can fit 2x ice cube trays side by side - just short of space by a couple of centimeters.
Wonderful Refrigerator – We’ve had this fridge for some months now and it’s been everything we hoped for in a fridge. Enormous capacity, excellent temperature and humidity control, nearly silent and great looking. No complaints and highly recommended Show details
Must have item by the wife's order – Look amazingly good, roomy and simple. The massive black fridge really bring out the creamy kitchen. Now let see if it do what it said. We bought it from HN yesterday and got it delivered and installed today to replace the constant noisy frosty trouble Samsung which we purchased for almost the same price. The Mitsubishi L710 was $80 less with… Read more
free delivery and free old fridges removed. Can hear it running but what would you expect for a fridge that size! Forgot to mention HN gave us a FREE SURGE PROTECTION POWER ADAPTOR.
Warranty claim outstanding on our 4 year old fridge – Although this fridge has been discontinued we received a very quick response when we emailed them about the shelf rail and wheel snapping off, on the bottom largest freezer compartment. Once we supplied all the details, pictures and a copy of receipts we were informed a rep would contact us. Five working days later the broken part has been… Read more
replaced and you would never know it had sustained any damage. The repairman was friendly, on time and knowledgeable about the product. When buying anything from small appliances to large appliances besides factoring in the price, looks etc. we always look at who does the warranty work as often this can be the biggest headache if you need to make a warranty claim. Five stars to Mitsubishi because this warranty claim was seamless from our first interaction with the lady at customer care Mitsubishi Australia through to the repairman.
Amazingly quiet, fabulous refrigerator! – This Mitsubishi refrigerator is fantastic, so quiet which is most important, the temperature is accurate and adjustable with the hologram on the fridge door. It’s a Quilty item, worth paying that bit more !! Show details
After all the research, I found the best fridge I ever wanted!!! Simply Grand!!! – It has been a year since I have purchased this fridge from appliances online and can't be happier of the quality of it.

It's very quiet and glass panels of the doors are super easy to clean. Very happy customer. Show details

Awesome fridge and service – I bought this fridge for my folks 5 years ago, have not had a single problem. I bought this because Mitsubishi is known for reliability. I keep reading about people seeing dents appear. I call crap on this. Dents dont appear by magic. It annoys me when people try and pull a shady on a good manufacturer.

currently being built, because of how good a fridge it is.
16/12/21: Bought the new version of this fridge and as suspected, its bloody awesome. Super quiet, very strong shelves and the new glass front is super easy to clean.
Very impressive. Easy access. Cold quickly – Glass makes it easy to clean. Great space, good light, big doors, welcome alarm. Excellent freezer. Nothing to plumb! Family of 5, so heaps of storage. Picked a winner! Thanks. Show details
Best Fridge - well worth the $$$$ – Had to really convince the other half to spend the extra cash to buy this fridge but boy was it worth it. We have had this fridge now for over 2 years and it hasn't skipped a beat. It is super quiet. I love how well it is organised and the flexibility of the shelves and door compartments. This fridge is huge both in outer dimensions (almost had to… Read more
chisel off the plinths as I had not included the lost area at the base) and storage capacity, granted we are a family of three but you could easily stock up for a small army with this badboy.
2 years in it hasn't needed any more cleaning other than a soapy wipe down of all the compartments and shelves - definitely no thawing required.
The only minor negative is that the stainless steel panels do dint easily and with a three year old, you find that out quite quickly.
I am so glad we tracked this model down as it was being replaced with the newer glass door model.
Great fridge – Bought this in 2015 and its still going without a hitch. Was a bit hesitant going a Mitsubishi but glad I did and will be buying more of their products. Show details
Mitsubishi Glass Fridge – Went into Harvey Norman Cannington urgently looking for a fridge as ours was losing it's coldness. Met John and he was so friendly, cheerful so lovely.

quiet cant hear it running unless you put your ear up the the sides . its a pleasure to open up and be presented with food that is within the gaze of your eye.. freezer bins are different sizes and the suprisingly big and appear to be made well and slide out with ease. doors open well and feel solid , reaching for the bottom of the door feels weird at first but should get used to it. wife says the shelves have limited height adjustment but no real biggie. door shelves are functionable and do the job and the front door panel has the info gizmo in stealth , you press the little stamp and the led info lights ups and configure you chill settings etc . keep the doors open too long and fridge beeps at you but ignore this for longer and fridge starts flashing the interior lights on and off . ha ha all in all a very nice looking fridge . 10 out of 10 also a big shout out to the sales lady at batemans bay harvey norman , the Tall girl with the glasses . thankyou so much for your knowledge and advice , your the best.
This fridge is amazing – best frig i have ever owned, love it, keeps wonderful temperature, everything stays fresh for longer, looks good in black, easy to clean, easy to open, lets you know if you leave the door ajar for too long, freezer is a perfect temperature, saves on my power bill also, also very quiet, i am so happy with this Mitsubishi refrigerator no complaints at all Show details

Stylish Roomy French Door Fridge Freezer – Very sleek and modern styling. The French Doors open wide to reveal a roomy and very bright fridge section, brightly lit by LED strips at the rear and top front. Spacious wide adjustable shelves with useful selection of drawers inc fruit / veg crisper. The Freezer section (under) again has a useful and varied range of deep drawers. Because the… Read more
doors are asymmetrical, it adds to the variety of the spaces, so LHS for smaller items, larger items in RHS. This also applies to the huge door compartments. It has an ice maker, but we avoided the type with the automatic icemaker in the door, because they take up so much space (and can look ugly externally). This has a tray assembly, where the two trays are rotated by hand, dropping the ice into a slide-out tray. Works well and is unobtrusive. Downside is that you have to take out the tray assembly to fill - not a huge chore. Except that the tray assembly could be a bit more rigid, and easier to hold , as spillage is a problem when carrying one-handed. On the plus side, this manual system allows you to fill it with filtered water, or even flavoured water or juice. It has the right ECO credentials, and runs quietly and efficiently, with an easy to use control panel on the front. The Build Quality is superb, and the look and feel of the whole unit is first class, with an external finish which could best be described as polar ice, rather than the usual white. Would look good in the most modern and expensive kitchen, despite its middle range price. And of course, a reliable brand.
Mitsubishi refrigerator 4 door – best frig i have ever owned, love it, keeps wonderful temperature, everything stays fresh for longer, looks good in black, easy to clean, easy to open, lets you know if you leave the door ajar for too long, freezer is a perfect temperature, saves on my power bill also, also very quiet, i am so happy with this Mitsubishi refrigerator no complaints at all Show details
Excellent Fridge – Great fridge plenty of room in fridge and freezer. We had to remove doors to get fridge into the house as it was to wide for our door. Nice sturdy glass shelves great door alarm as my two kids have a tendency to not close them properly. I would recommend but measure first. Show details
Perfect fridge for family or couples – This is the best fridge we have ever owned. I did my research for myself and my daughter who has a family of 6 and it’s just me and hubby for ours. She got the diamond black and I got the pearl white. Only problem is my pearl white is now yellow? I’m so sad cause I love my fridge. It’s big in the fridge and freezer. I can fit whole platters in it and even my giant lasagne. Temp control is perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Show details
Love this fridge. Perfect size, colour and has such a well organised storage space – It contains a very consistent and reliable temperature in all compartements. The fridge is beautifully designed both for aesthetic and practical reasons. It is definitely easy to open and close. Show details
