Xiaomi has introduced the Mijia Side-by-Side 621L refrigerator in Spain, its most spacious model to date. With 621 liters of storage, smart controls, and a limited-time price of €799, the appliance targets large households seeking both capacity and connectivity.
Xiaomi has rolled out its biggest refrigerator yet for the Spanish market, the Mijia Side-by-Side 621L, now available at a special price of €799 until August 17. This launch marks the arrival of the brand’s highest-capacity fridge in Spain, offering a total of 621 liters split between a 385-liter fridge and a 236-liter freezer.
The Mijia Side-by-Side 621L stands out for its combination of size and technology. The appliance features 18 interior compartments, including four open shelves, two independent drawers, and six deep door bins designed to hold multiple rows of cans or bottles. A rotating ice tray is also included for easy ice removal.
One of the key selling points is the No Frost system, which uses multi-channel air ducts to distribute cold air evenly and prevent frost build-up. Four temperature sensors help maintain optimal conditions, and the freezer can handle up to 14 kilograms of freezing in 24 hours, according to Xiaomi’s lab tests for the MRS62ESSMPAEU model.
To address hygiene, Xiaomi integrates Ag⁺ Fresh technology in both the fridge and freezer sections. This system is designed to reduce odors and inhibit bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, based on the manufacturer’s laboratory data. However, regular cleaning and proper food storage remain essential for safety.
Smart Control and Energy Use
The Mijia Side-by-Side 621L connects to the Xiaomi Home app, allowing users to monitor and adjust temperatures, select cooling modes, and manage settings remotely. The fridge supports over-the-air updates and offers four cooling modes accessible via a touch LED display. Voice control is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, provided the necessary devices and services are available in Spain.
Energy efficiency is rated at class E, with an estimated annual consumption of 342 kWh. The fridge operates at a low noise level of 35 decibels, a figure verified by Bureau Veritas under specific test conditions. While the energy rating is not the highest, the large capacity may justify the consumption for families needing extra storage.
Size and Installation Considerations
Measuring 91 cm wide, 71.5 cm deep, and 177 cm tall, and weighing 84 kg, the Mijia Side-by-Side 621L is significantly larger than standard combi fridges. Buyers are advised to check kitchen dimensions and delivery routes, as the appliance will not fit in a typical 60 cm-wide space. With packaging, the size increases further, so doorways, hallways, and elevators should be measured in advance. Xiaomi recommends leaving at least 10 cm of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation, and the doors can open up to 120 degrees, with drawers accessible at 90 degrees. After installation, the fridge should remain unplugged for at least three hours before use.
Who Is It For?
This model is positioned as an ideal solution for large families or households that shop in bulk and need extensive storage. Compared to Xiaomi’s other major fridge in Spain, the Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door 502L, the new Side-by-Side 621L offers 119 liters more capacity. The promotional price of €799 represents a €50 discount from the standard €849, amounting to nearly 6% off, but this offer is only valid until August 17.
For those concerned about rising household energy costs, it’s worth noting that efficient appliance use can make a difference. As highlighted in a recent analysis of air conditioning habits, simple changes in maintenance and settings can lead to significant savings during the summer months (see the full report here).
According to the official product listing and technical documentation, the Mijia Side-by-Side 621L is best suited for buyers who prioritize storage space, interior organization, and smart home integration. However, its width and energy class are important factors to consider before making a purchase decision.
