Practically Perfect With One Gripe
370L Bottom Mount MR-CX370EJ-BST-A2 (Black Stainless)I had seen this fridge at a friend's place and instantly noticed its unique styling and practicality. It's sleek, slim and wholly unassuming yet has a strong presence.
I believe this model has been discontinued (replaced by the 450L version, I think) but it has been the perfect size for a single to two-person household. Although the middle drawer is designed to keep keep veggies crisp, it's also the perfect size to keep a few bottles of white or mixers if you're feeling like a gin and tonic or bourbon and Coke.
The top compartment is a good
... Read more size and the shelves are adjustable - they even split in half so you can store taller items/bottles etc without having to remove the entire shelf. The lighting is sufficient and the temperature dial is easy to reach. Doors and draws open and close as expected and with ease. A standout feature is the in-built ice cube maker. I always try to avoid fridges that need to be plumbed into the wall, so to have the ice cube maker self-contained is truly awesome. Fill it up with water, put it back in the compartment and boom - ice cubes (it make take a few hours because of physics). However, if I had to nitpick at anything, it's that the freezer compartment doesn't have a light, which is mostly fine unless you live in a space where natural light doesn't fill your kitchen or don't you always have the lights on. That said, the freezer space is pretty generous and has two compartments - as well as the ice-cube tray and included ice scoop (can you tell I love the ice-cube making function?). It runs quiet and keeps stuff cold. And makes its own ice. Highly recommend.Purchased in for $1,135.

NOISY!!! I Love the look and feel but I'm tearing my hair out from the high pitched noise
450L Bottom Mount MR-CX450ER-ST (Stainless Steel)I bought this fridge about a month ago. I was careful to read the reviews on this fridge, but WOWEE! An almost constant high pitched noise is emitted from the back of it. It's so bad that I shut the fridge off in order to tolerate eating dinner at my table. I can't be in the room with it for long.
Update: I have measured the high pitched noise by matching it to a tone, and it appears to waiver between 467Hz and 477Hz. It measures 36db at 3 metres distance. It is nearly constant, in my experience.It is not drowned out by the sound of the fan, w
... Read morehich itself sounds fine. The interior of this fridge is beautiful. Everything fits. I took the half-shelves out because I didn't need them and I wanted more tall space. There's not much adjustment option for the shelves, but oddly, the levels it has works for me. I love the ice maker. The temperature control works great so far, and there is a luxurious amount of space in the freezer drawer. The exterior is beautiful, though I think Mitsubishi should have put grey plastic bands along the tops of the drawers instead of bright chrome, because finger prints are too obvious on chrome strips. But I'm writing this review so others will be prepared, if they choose to purchase this fridge, about the noise. Mitsubishi, what were you thinking to put this in the interior of a house?Purchased in .
Great Buy
370L Bottom Mount MR-CX370EJ-ST-A2 (Stainless Steel)This is the best fridge I have owned. The seperate crisper draw works well. It is quiet when running and storage fits my need perfectly. The ice maker works well without the fuss of some fridges.
Have had this model for over a year so have had time to fully review.

A great fridge ruined by poor LED lighting
370L Bottom Mount MR-CX370EJ-W-A2 (White)I wish I could give this fridge a higher rating, but the lighting is horrible. There's a vertical strip of LEDs placed on the rear wall of the main compartment. The LEDs glare in your face when you open the fridge, and at the same time don't provide sufficient light for your items. Everything is in shadow. If the LEDs were 'warm white' colour (more towards the colour of traditional fridge lights), perhaps it might not look so stark and gloomy.
The silly LED placement means if you place any items in the middle of the shelves, you will greatly r
... Read moreeduce the already poor light. Lighting is one thing you can't see when buying a fridge, because most fridges are not plugged in at the store unless they're top-of-the-range units. I didn't expect it to be so poor, especially after seeing other similar-sized fridge brands that have better LED lighting. And of course, Mitsubishi's advertisement images for this fridge are basking in beautiful light, with every item on the shelf perfectly lit. Apart from the lighting, I really like this fridge. I love that the bottom two sections are drawers, which makes it particularly easy to rummage around in the freezer. I wasn't sure if the ice maker would get any use, but it has actually proven itself to be very convenient and we use it all the time. Because we don't have to mess with ice trays, it's much quicker and easier to add ice to drinks and even tap water. The vertical side handle/indent on the main door is also very convenient rather than just a bottom handle. We purposely chose this version (CX) instead of the glass door version (CGX), since the glass door model did not have this side handle. The CX series has been replaced in 2022 (such as the MR-CX450ER instead of MR-CX450EJ). Mitsubishi Electric advised me that they are essentially the same overall model aside from some very slight differences. If it weren't for the lighting, I'd give this 5 stars. I really like the 3 tier, bottom mount design with drawers, and it was very difficult finding another fridge like this that wasn't ridiculously large. So far we haven't had any problems with shelving or issues with cooling. But every time I open the fridge, I'm greeted by that horrible lighting.Purchased in at Harvey Norman.

Disappointed big time
450L Bottom Mount MR-CX450ER-ST (Stainless Steel)Bought this fridge on the basis of reviews for it being VERY quiet-well I just wasted $1899, it's not quiet, it’s VERY NOISY - has an annoying intermittent high pitched industrial electric motor sound of varied volumes and a continuous low frequency sound you hear when seated too near the motors on a jet - it permeates through my kitchen and living area to the end of the room for the entire 45 minutes its running, shutting down and shutting up for 15minutes if you don’t open the door. It just makes me wonder how many favorable product reviews a
... Read morere fake. I would not recommend buying this fridge if you hate noise, for those that don't mind noise you can buy other brands for half the price. DB ratings is a bad indicator of how noisy a fridge is because various annoying frequencies heard can be more audible than others but are of lower volume in terms of DB. Also, the delivery guys took it out of the box for me but i never noticed two slight indentations in the silver metal doors visible under certain light until they were gone. I want a refund.Purchased in at Harvey Norman for $1,899.
Love the ergonomic drawers!
370L Bottom Mount MR-CX370EJ-BST-A2 (Black Stainless)Can't fault this fridge after 4 months. It's compact and ergonomic. We the drawers for the fruits & veg and freezer. I can't imagine going back to using a regular fridge. It's enough for a family of two and a half and keeps all of our food cold. The ice maker is very convenient and gets a lot of use.
From looking at other reviews I can see that the door shelves might crack if you try to force large bottles in there or too many objects as it appears to be made from a brittle plastic.
We have not had any issues though.
If the above sounds OK to you I would highly recommend this fridge.

Perfect size for small fridge cavity space!
370L Bottom Mount MR-CX370EJ-ST-A2 (Stainless Steel)Needed to purchase a small fridge for my new apartment which has a very small fridge cavity space. This one fits perfectly and looks great. I love, love, love the separate vegetable drawer - so convenient.

great product
370L Bottom Mount MR-CX370EJ-ST-A2 (Stainless Steel)This is a great fridge. Whisper quiet and compact. It’s my first bottom mount freezer and while it has a smaller fridge space, I have to keep reminding myself it has a separate fruit and vege crisper which is actually quite large. It takes a bit of getting used to but so far it’s all good.

Bought this fridge in April 2021. Through the freezer drawer everything is easier accessible.
370L Bottom Mount MR-CX370EJ-W-A2 (White)Temperature is consistent across all compartments and the fridge is really easy to open and close, we wanted a highly efficient fridge and it is very efficient. I can highly recommend!
They've thought of everything!
402L Bottom Mount MR-CX402EJ-BST-A2 (Black Stainless)Best fridge I've ever bought! How the times have changed!
I love the design of this fridge and how much attention to detail has gone into the practical compartments and features.
There is a large section for general fridge items, a second draw for fruits and vegetables, an ice section where you can store thing like ice bricks, a large freezer draw and an ice maker!
This is the best thought-out fridge I have ever purchased
This fridge was bought for an apartment and I originally thought id be stuck with some small basic fridge however when this fridge met my specifications I was ecstatic!
Absolutely love it and high recommend!

Good fridge but vegetable drawer not so great
402L Bottom Mount MR-CX402EJ-BST-A2 (Black Stainless)I want to love this fridge, the fridge section is great and a good size (although two plastic shelves broke yesterday, hoping for a painless replacement). The freezer feels a bit small but is manageable and the ice maker is awesome. But the vegie crisper is the biggest let down. Having a separate draw for the crisper is ingenious and I love the layout but and here is the but, it doesn't keep my vegies crisp. All my vegetables end up limp and terrible. My brocolli stays crisp for about 2 days at best and my poor carrots and cucumbers are almost

I have tried putting a cup of water in the draw to add humidity but in the end I have resorted to adding a tupperware fridge container which takes up space and makes the whole draw not very functional.

disappointing
370L Bottom Mount MR-CX370EJ-OB-A2 (Onyx Black)Not overly cold and the shelves keep breaking. We are on our second round of shelving. Shelves are cheap and not good quality plastic. The front of the fridge look cheap and scratches, dents easy. Not happy with the purchase, however one positive is the ice maker! That has been designed welln and is a geat fuction.

Questions & Answers
Please bring this model back. We have had ours for nearly 10 years but the freezer no longer keeps temperature and now it is discontinued- very sad as the 450l doesn’t fit our space or have as good reviews. If you still had the 402l we’d be out replacing it tomorrow with a new one.
Why was this discontinued? The 450L model gets worse reviews (sounds like it introduced a high pitch noise issue) and doesn’t fit into as many kitchens (like mine). People with narrow fridge spaces really can’t win a trick. Its so annoying to find good things and then see they’ve been discontinued and replaced with something worse.
