This Midea counter depth French door refrigerator stands out for its roomy layout, dual ice maker, and a cleaner exterior design that keeps the water and ice dispensers outside the fridge. The setup is also seen as more hygienic and less prone to mold buildup, though the smooth front can be awkward to open because there are no handles. The main concerns are temperature consistency and long term reliability, with multiple reports of units running warm or failing after a short time. The water dispenser also requires opening the door, which undercuts convenience.

Common Questions (4)

  • Some units can struggle to hold refrigerator temperatures. Reports include setpoints of 34°F but actual readings staying in the mid-30s to low 40s, so a fridge thermometer is worth using to verify performance after setup.

  • Yes. The water dispenser requires opening the refrigerator door to dispense water, which also means the dispenser is exposed inside the fresh-food compartment rather than on the exterior.

  • A 5-year extended warranty is a sensible add-on for this model because one reported Midea freezer failed almost exactly when the factory warranty ended. That makes extra coverage useful if you want protection beyond the standard warranty period.

  • No handles can make it awkward to open because you have to reach up or down for the top or bottom groove depending on your height. A centered hand groove would be more comfortable for daily use.

Huh! There no need to clean anything when the water or ice dispensers on the outer side. Been using for decades without issues.
I haven't showered in years, and no one's said anything. Come to think of it, no one talks to me, period.

Midea manufactures for a lot of brands. Good to see they are putting their own name on their products over the last few years.

I don't know about this Midea but I will tell you that I bought the Midea Fridge 18.1 Cubic and returned them both. The freezer part was fine but the fridge didn't keep anything on the highest setting below 42. I called the warehouse and they said it was probably a bad batch.
