I understand it entirely depends on each one's situation. But would you recommend a 562L model for a household of four?
Hello, yes I would easily recommend this fridge for 4 people. At present we have a fluctuation between 4 to 6 adults.
Hi!
Just wondering if anyone has trouble with vegetables freezing in the fruit/vege compartment?
Also my soft freeze only seems to be a hard freeze. I've read the manual over and over and setting the fridge correctly but coming up against these issues.
Thanks!
Hi Zoe, when I first got this fridge I was unsure of what to place the veggie crisper on, so I chose medium . But after checking the carrots 2 days later there was ice in the bottom of the containe...
Read morer. I changed the setting to low and have not had any problems since. As for soft freeze, it depends on the item frozen. But most things seem to be able to be pulled apart/cut etc. Hope this helps
Zoe we never had frozen vegetables, setting as well on low.
Hi Zoe,
Please give us a call on 1300 651 808 and one of our technical support staff can talk to you about making fine adjustments to the temperature settings, and confirm setting the soft freeze function. ...
Read more Oh, and just on the off chance you might be putting the vegetables in the wrong drawer, the vegetable drawer is the very bottom one, not the second one up from the bottom. Kind regards, Mitsubishi Electric Australia Supportcan you fit 2 litre milk cartons and/or soft drink bottles in the door?
Yes we regularly store 2 to 3 two litre milk cartons, aswell as a wine bottle, soft drinks bottle and a couple of stubbies in the same lower shelf between both doors. Hope that helps.
We find 2l plastic milk bottles DONT fit well in the larger door side as its too tight and when taking them out u tend to hit the shelf above it with the bottle as u pull it out. 2 will fit in the sma...
Read moreller door side(one behind the other)and is easy to access from there. We store all drinks on the highest shelve lying down with the shelve pushed back to half size and cans stay in the soft freeze draw at perfect drinking temp for me! Maybe trial it at the store first? Hope it works out for you either way :)We have not trouble to fit one 2 liter milk bottle in the big door at the wide section of the shelf.
I am looking at buying either the 562 or 655 and cannot decide. Love the energy rating, added freezer space compared with similar sized 2 door fridge. We are a family of 4 - will I regret the smaller model? Physical Size of fridge is not the issue, more the additional cost.
Also I was surprised and disappointed that Harvey Norman will not price match online price ($1000 difference!). They only stock the larger Mahogany model at my local store. So it's hard to work out what the Platinum really looks like and do a size comparison on the 2 smaller models. They don't even tell you about the benefits of this fridge and pushed me toward other models. Any feedback and help would be appreciated.
Hi, I bought the 562 platinum model, as I have a small space (apartment living). I didn't see the mahogany version. It's a very mod looking fridge, and almost everyone that's seen mine likes the look... I think it's beautiful
I have the 655, great fridge. It is in the platinum, we looked at both the 655 and the larger size. You wont regret the larger size or 655 for family. Check with some other suppliers. We bought ours f...

Read more F&P 519 litre. But we were pleasantly surprised this was much more spacious! Because of the dedicated spaces for fruit/veg, ice, eggs, milk, juice, drinks, etc, it pretty much leaves the fridge section shelves empty for us. We find it has more than space for us. (although I still need to figure out how to use the versa drawer more effectively) Btw, we got Bing Lee to price match 2nds World over the phone. Also, if I had the space and didn't have to go over my budget, I would've bought the 655 as you never now when you might need the extra space :)Hi, can the ice maker drawer and versa drawer be completely removed from the fridge? It needs to get past a bench top to be able to get into the kitchen and the space is very tight. What are the dimensions of the fridge when it is packaged for transportation?
Thanks for your help.
Yes, both of the drawers are easily removable. Sorry can't help you with the packed dimensions but the product information will have that
Thanks Indigo I really appreciate you taking the time to answer, this info helps me a lot as I now know I will be able to get it into my kitchen! Thanks
Not sure about the colour as I am unable to see it in store. How does the Patinum light blend in with the plain stainless steel colour of othe appliances in the kitchen ? Love all I have read about this fridge could someone help me?
It really depends on how particular you are. We have ovens beside the fridge, SS frames & black glass in the centre. The platinum is a warmer colour, but we felt that the features of the fridge ove...
Read morerrides the difference in colour. We are very happy with that choice, but I can understand that others might have an issue with the finish. I wonder if the company/distributor can send a sample colour?Hi Kath,

Read more Kind regards, Mitsubishi Electric Australia SupportHi wasn't keen in the platinum but since we have got it a month, it works in well. Just got a ss microwave and it looks great besides it. You don't notice any difference in fact it highlights the rest really well.
What's the best way to store fresh carrots to maintain their crispness? Loose or in a sealed bag or container? In the veggie drawer or the body of the fridge?
My wife leaves them in the plastic bag. But if you cut them up put in a clip lock container or a self seal bag. Hope this helps
Thanks, Grumps. In the veggie drawer?

Read moreen counter amd quicker than those kept in the body of the fridge. Am I doing something wrong or is a design flaw in the fridge?Sandy above mentioned this/her fridge has "a turn table at the top of the fridge for condiments." None of the fridges I've looked at (smaller or larger) have this turntable. Does anyone know about this feature? Is it an optional extra?
hello!
Does the MR-EX655 model come in white?
Ange
The 655 and 562 only come in platinum light. The bigger 743 comes in Dark Mahogany or White. The dark mahogany actually looks pretty nice in person.
Thankyou for the info but the bigger model is too big for my kitchen and all my other appliances care in white.sop i will have to unfortunately look at another brand.
I'm curious about people's fridge cavity. I've just had a new kitchen built, not taking into consideration the fridge size (not having a fridge), so my cavity is H1821xW1000xD600. I do have a 700mm wall on one side. I'm keen on buying this fridge because of the great reviews but worry that it is not the ideal size for my space. The height is fine but not enough depth and too much width. Would it look ridiculous? How does it sit in other people's kitchens?
You would be better off with a fridge that fits.
Hight or depth was not an issue for us although we had gap that won't fit most of big fridges, this one fits with issue and looks fine, it's relatively taller size doesn't compromise looks
Up to how you want things to look. You could put it to one side and use the other for storage (broom, bin, etc). Put it in the middle with smaller gaps on each side. Grab some cardboard boxes and do a...
Read more mock up and see how it looks. It's hard to go past this fridge.we have a plumbed in side by side (recently deceased)...is this one capable of being plumbed in or do you need to keep filling it up?
No you can't plumb it in. But its not as if you need to fill the ice dispenser daily. Its been 3 days now and i havent filled mine and we are all having ice daily. There is 4 in my family. Hope this helps
This one cannot be plumbed.
No. However it makes enough ice that you don't need to fill up the water that often. You're not left without ice unless you let the ice drawer run down to completely empty and then fill with water tank.
What is the difference between the MR-EX562 and the 655?
As far as I know just the size and colours available. The 562 (litres) is only available in Platinum Light which is a stainless steel style colour but the bigger 665 ( litres ) is also available in white - which a friend of mine has just bought.
Size, number of shelves, space in the door pockets, special light in the vegetable compartment of the 655 that keeps the vegetables fresher for longer. The brochure from Mitsubishi which you can get o...
Read morenline or at your local Harvey Norman has a table that compares the two models. If you have the space get the 655, if not then go for the 562. I believe they only come in one colour. It is the larger MR-WX743Y which comes in while or Dark Mahogany. We are loving our 655.My 562 also has the special light to keep veggies fresher longer. I think its standard on these two models.
I saw these two fridges in HN over the weekend but am split on which one to get. MR-EX562W or the bigger MR-EX655W. They appear to be built with real Japanese quality.
What I would like to know is it worth getting the bigger model, MR-EX655W over the MR-EX562W? We have the space so that is no issue, however there is only 2 of us. Wife is only 1.55 m tall and I don't think she will be able to reach the higher shelves, however I am tall so no problem for me. As long as I have enough space for food and beer I am happy however I do like to have a few 2L milks in the fridge door and it looked like the bigger model accommodated more in the door. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I might go back to HN and have another look.
Hi,
My wife is short, around 5ft 3in, but has no problems with the top shelf. We the second top shelf only half extended. We bought the 655 for just the two of us, as we have sauces, yogurts etc plus...
I suggest getting the bigger of the two. You two can decide what to store and where. Get the larger fridge. That way you get the best ratio between the space taken by one fridge in that spot in the ho...
Read moreuse vs storage inside the fridge. It is a very efficient design, both electrically and regarding storage space inside.Many thanks for the answers and you have convinced me well. Today I ordered the MR-EX655W. Can't wait for delivery! Cheers.
I would like to purchase the MR-EX655 fridge. The width of the area the fridge would sit in is 798mm. This area sits in a corner, so one side of the fridge would be against a wall.
Would I be able to open both doors of the fridge?
Is this area too small?
Personally I think it would be too small for any fridge. You will be able to open the doors but the door closest to the wall will obviously be the problem therefore creating difficulty pulling out the...
Read more condiment draw or the water jug depending which side is in the corner. The sales assistant should also be able to advise on this question. I would try moving the location of the fridge to accommodate a little more space (this is what I did) and put a cupboard alongside. Good luck.The fridge is 745mm wide. The door only pivots out approximately 12mm each side, so would fit quite easily.
I love this fridge, swallows heaps of food & has multiple choice for where to put what.

Hi Sally-Ann
Sorry we've never had an issue, just needs water in the container!
If new though make sure you got all the blue tape off, check up under the ice tray?
Hi, I never had this issue and all is working fine. Maybe you should contact the Mitsubishi?
I accidentally bumped my blue lever into the 'remove for cleaning' position once which stopped ice production. Take a look at the back where your ice tray is to check this.
Hi. What is the clearance behind the fridge? Seems like it might be too deep for our space and would stick out a bit.
I am concerned the measurements seem odd for the size of the MR-EX562W
is it really only 685mm wide and 1691 tall as how do they fit it? Can someone use a tape measure and report back. Frauke
Yes, Frauke, the measurements are correct. I have limited space so this was important for me. This fridge is smaller in every outside dimension than my old fridge but holds more. It is perfect, silent...

Read moreerator compartment may freeze. Firstly, if you are not going to use Ice Making for a period, you set it to “Stop Making Ice”. If the Ice Making Compartment is set to Power Save Mode, it is automatically set to "stop ice making." (Ice cannot be stored.). Empty the water from the water tank (and put it back) as well as the water and ice from the ice tray and the ice storage box, and then select Power Save Mode. Also, located in the Ice Compartment is a soundproof mat. It reduces the sound of ice dropping into the ice storage box. Do not dispose of it! Keep it somewhere safe until you start ice making again.Get an answer from our members and Mitsubishi Electric representatives
