Rank #9 in Best American Fridge Freezer 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Capacity Figures Break
Midea MDRS619FIE46 460L Side-by-Side Fridge Freezer
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Midea 460L American Side-By-Side Fridge Freezer (MDRS619FIE46) is a two-door, frost-free side-by-side in stainless steel, listed at £549.00 with 4.2 out of 5 from 15 ratings. It takes the number 9 slot in this guide, and it is the dearer of the two listings here that quote the same 63.5 x 83.5 x 177.5cm cabinet — the other one asks £519.99.
The number to watch on this fiche is capacity. The spec table lists "Refrigerator Net Capacity: 460 Litres", which is the same figure the listing uses for the whole appliance, and its own first bullet splits the box as 271L fridge + 189L freezer. The freezer field in the spec table agrees with that bullet at 189 litres; the fridge field agrees with neither. There is a second mismatch: the star bars run 8 / 15 / 15 / 62 and add up to 100, while the listing reports 15 ratings, so those bars read as percentages rather than counts. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing — we have not tested the appliance.
How those 15 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Yes the sides get hot but clearly that is where the dissipated heat is lost. Knowing how fridges work helps realise what's going on. It is a sturdy fridge which I managed to buy for a very good price. It fits perfectly in the space left by our excellent Samsung fridge (over 23 years old).It is laid out will with vertical 50/50 split. Very effective with cool adjustment. Factory setting of -18C and 5C are perfect. We have not liked to the Internet yet.Very good buy. Now had it 2 months.Delivery service, and removal of litter and old fridge were all excellent too”
Verified purchase“Perfect! Been running fine for over a month now. Looks great and is spacious”
