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

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!

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 have not trouble to fit one 2 liter milk bottle in the big door at the wide section of the shelf.

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

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

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.

Hi 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

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?

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?

9 answers

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

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

Stephen

This one cannot be plumbed.

Nathan
Nathan

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

Katy

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.

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
