Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

What owners talk about most
“It's a nice fridge. It has a lot of room and so far it's keeping things nice and cold. I read some reviews about it getting too cold if the weather is below average and it's in a garage, so we'll see. It's supposed to be really cold next week. So far, so good though.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.
This model is marketed as garage-ready and many owners report it performs well in garages with fluctuating temperatures, maintaining consistent cooling even in varying weather. However, some reviewers have experienced issues in very cold garage environments (below freezing outdoor temperatures), with the freezer failing to reach proper temperatures. Performance in extreme cold appears inconsistent, so placement and ambient temperature monitoring are recommended.
This model has 18 cubic feet of total capacity and features multiple adjustable glass shelves, multiple drawers, and door storage compartments. Reviewers consistently praise the spacious interior and flexible layout, noting it accommodates bulk purchases, drinks, leftovers, and frozen items with ease.
Multiple owners report this model is very quiet during operation and when the compressor cycles on. The quiet performance is consistently cited as a positive feature, with reviewers noting it's barely audible in garage settings.
Owners report the refrigerator is very easy to install and set up, requiring minimal effort to unpack and prepare for use. The adjustable legs accommodate uneven garage floors. One reviewer noted it is heavy and recommends having 4 people assist with moving it into place.
This refrigerator uses approximately 369 kilowatt-hours per year and is described by multiple reviewers as energy efficient. The fingerprint-free finish also reduces cleaning time and maintenance.
Most reviewers report the freezer cools quickly and maintains proper freezing temperatures. However, a few owners experienced issues with the freezer not reaching adequate temperatures, with items like bread, popsicles, and ice cream remaining soft, or in extreme cases, the freezer only reaching 10°F. These cases appear to be related to either very cold garage environments or potential compressor defects.
Yes, an ice maker can be purchased separately and installed in this model. One reviewer reported the installation process is very simple and straightforward.
This model comes with a manufacturer warranty, though one reviewer reported difficulty completing the warranty claim process. It is recommended to review the warranty terms carefully and contact customer service before purchase if warranty support is a key concern.

Brand Background
Midea stands as one of the most significant names in global appliance manufacturing, operating as a subsidiary of Midea Group, the world's largest home appliance manufacturer and a Fortune Global 500 company. Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Foshan, Guangdong, China, the brand has built its reputation on delivering functional refrigeration at accessible price points. Fridge.com currently tracks 43 active products from Midea, spanning an unusually diverse range of categories including chest freezers, top-freezer refrigerators, compact units, upright freezers, and french-door models. This breadth reflects the company's strategy of serving multiple market segments rather than specializing in premium configurations. Notable models in the Fridge.com catalog include the MRF18B4AST french-door refrigerator and the MERM33S1A compact unit, both among the most frequently monitored in the brand's lineup. Positioned firmly in the value tier, Midea competes primarily on affordability and availability rather than luxury features, making it a practical consideration for budget-conscious shoppers, secondary refrigerators, or garage and basement installations where cost efficiency takes priority over advanced technology.
