Review Mitsubishi Refrigerator MR-Z65R & MR-E62S

Z65R and E62S are both excellent choices that meet my criteria for a good refrigerator.

Differences and Similarities of Mitsubishi Z65R & E62S

• Both have same height and depth. Z65R is 60 cm wider than E62S. This is only a concern if you have space restriction.

• Both have inverter control compressor allowing us to enjoy lower energy consumption and quieter motor sound. But Z65R ( about 1.08 kwh/l)is about 25l bigger in capacity and hence uses more energy compared to E62S (about 1.02 kwh/l).

• Both have Auto ice maker, Soft freezing, auto shelf , LED sunlight and Anti bacterial deodorizer

• Z65R freezer compartment is excellent with neatly organized transparent drawers and large capacity. E62S freezer is a big deep drawer and a shallow tray. One Deep drawer is easier to clean than a few transparent drawers. However, the transparent drawers in Z65R is a definite plus points. Unlike vegetables, frozen food comes in smaller packets. Putting the packets of frozen food into a smaller drawers found in the Z65R is a lot more neat and organized.

• Z65R vegetable and fruits compartment is at the top left portion of the fridge. There are a few transparent drawers for the vegetables and fruits in this area. (Both display models at the showroom have the same vegetable drawer that doesn't operate smoothly during my visit.) Z65R vegetable compartment is about the only feature (beside the higher energy consumption) I dislike about this model and hope the company can improve on it. On the other hand, E62S vegetable compartment is a large deep drawer. I think this design is more practical for the vegetable compartment as we usually need big space to accommodate the big leafy vegetables. The big drawer can be easily lifted out for cleaning and the drawer operates smoothly.

• Z65R comes in 2 striking colours (blue and white) while the E62S comes in a beige like colour and aluminium colour, more plain looking.

• Z65R control panel is inside the fridge whereas E62S control panel is on the exterior allowing us to adjust the settings without opening the fridge

Overall, Z65R reins supreme in terms of freezer compartment. Other than the freezer compartment, E62S is an all rounder.
