Organisation designed for everyday living
Designed for everyday kitchen use, the MR-CX450ER-SDS-A balances a compact footprint with a generous 450L capacity. The three-door bottom mount layout keeps frequently used fresh food at eye level, with the vegetable drawer positioned centrally and the bottom freezer drawer below for easy access. Well-suited to apartments and smaller kitchens, it combines practical storage with advanced features in a space-efficient design. The Sterling Dark Silver finish delivers a deeper metallic tone than standard silver, adding a modern, refined look that complements both light and dark cabinetry.
Designed to support everyday freshness, the MR-CX450ER Series uses a Multi Airflow System with different temperature points to efficiently cool all food, even in hard-to-cool areas such as filled door pockets. The Supercool Chilling Case stores meat and fish at around –3°C to 0°C without freezing, reducing the need for defrosting before cooking. In the dedicated vegetable drawer, VitaLED lighting supports produce freshness by slowing wilting, helping fruit and vegetables stay crisp during everyday use.
Storage in the MR-CX450ER Series is designed to make everyday organisation simple and practical. Adjustable tempered glass shelves provide clear, easy-to-clean surfaces, while the Two-Way Flexi Glass Shelf slides back to create space for taller items such as bottles, salad bowls, or layered dishes. The bottom freezer drawer offers generous room for bulk frozen food, with a top tray that helps keep smaller items organised. Another dedicated section within the freezer drawer collects ice from the automatic ice maker, keeping freezer storage neat and easy to manage throughout the week.
Great for storing dairy products, fresh fish or meat and chilling drinks.
The Supercool Chilling function is ideal for storing meat, fish or other perishable food at about -3˚C to 0˚C without freezing it. This provides the convenience of food ready to cook without the need to defrost it. Please note this mode must be manually set in order to function.
There is no need for a separate plumbing connection. The removable water tank can be filled with water and the Ice Maker is ready to go!
The Tempered Glass Shelves are easy to clean and built to withstand up to 100 kilograms of weight.
Make the Tempered Glass shelf deeper or push it in for more space. It is ideal for storing taller items such as a salad or dessert bowl.
Designed to maximise the freshness of produce. The drawer features a higher humidity than the main refrigerator compartment and is ideal for storing and keeping fruit and vegetables crisper and fresher for longer.
It is roomy enough to fit bulky items such as ice cream tubs, loaves of bread and frozen vegetables. The top tray is ideal for storage and organisation of flat pack items such as meat packs. A second section of the tray at the top of the drawer collects ice made by the Automatic Ice Maker.
With different temperature points in the fridge, this technology efficiently cools all food, even in hard-to-cool places such as filled door pockets.

Three door fridges are designed to improve everyday organisation and make efficient use of kitchen space. With separate compartments for fresh food, vegetables, and frozen items, the Mitsubishi Electric 450L bottom mount model allows items to be stored more clearly and accessed easily, without opening the entire fridge during daily use.
Another advantage is the ability to enjoy features often associated with larger fridge designs, such as an Automatic Ice Maker and a dedicated Sliding Chilled Case, within a more compact footprint. This makes three door fridges a practical option for apartments and kitchens with limited cavity space, while still offering generous capacity and modern functionality.
The Automatic Ice Maker uses a removable internal water tank, allowing ice to be made without any plumbing connection. Simply fill the tank, reinsert it, and the fridge automatically produces and stores ice in a dedicated section within the freezer drawer. This non-plumbed design eliminates the need for fixed water lines and the cost of ongoing filter replacements, and provides greater flexibility when installing or relocating the fridge. It is particularly well suited to apartments, rental properties and kitchens where plumbing access is limited.
