Xiaomi has expanded its growing home appliance portfolio with the introduction of two new budget-friendly refrigerators—the Xiaomi Mijia 186L Double-Door Refrigerator and the Xiaomi Mijia 216L Triple-Door Refrigerator. Designed with practicality in mind, both models aim to deliver efficient cooling, modern aesthetics, and space-saving designs for small households and apartments.
With competitive pricing and thoughtful features, these new additions reflect Xiaomi’s continued focus on making smart home appliances more accessible.
Smart Design for Everyday Convenience
Both refrigerators follow a clean and minimal design approach, featuring a sleek exterior with a PCM metal panel and concealed handles. This not only enhances the overall look but also makes them easy to integrate into modern kitchens.
Despite their compact footprint—occupying less than 0.3 square meters—these refrigerators are designed to maximize internal storage while fitting comfortably into tight spaces. With a width of just 505mm, they are particularly suitable for smaller kitchens or rental setups.
Mijia 216L Triple-Door Refrigerator: Organized and Versatile Storage
The 216L triple-door model is built for users who need better organization and flexibility. It features three dedicated temperature zones:
- Refrigeration compartment (129L): Maintains temperatures between 2°C to 8°C for fresh food
- Soft-freeze zone (30L): Operates between -7°C to 0°C, ideal for items like meat that need partial freezing
- Freezer section (57L): Ranges from -24°C to -18°C for long-term storage
This structured layout makes it easier to store different types of food without mixing odors or compromising freshness.
The refrigerator also includes a five-level temperature control system, allowing users to fine-tune cooling based on their needs.
Mijia 186L Double-Door Refrigerator: Compact and Practical
For smaller households or limited spaces, the 186L double-door model offers a more straightforward layout while maintaining similar performance. It includes:
- 129L refrigerator compartment
- 57L freezer section
Both sections provide consistent cooling, matching the temperature ranges found in the triple-door variant. The freezer comes with a dual-drawer design, making it easier to organize frozen foods neatly.
Adjustable multi-layer shelves further enhance flexibility, allowing users to store items of different sizes without hassle.
Energy Efficient and Quiet Operation
One of the key highlights of both models is their strong focus on energy efficiency. Each refrigerator comes with a Level 1 energy efficiency rating:
- 186L model: Consumes around 0.41 kWh per day
- 216L model: Consumes around 0.43 kWh per day
In addition to being energy-efficient, both units operate at a low noise level of 36dB(A), making them suitable for shared living spaces, studio apartments, or even bedrooms where quiet operation matters.
Practical Features That Make a Difference
Xiaomi has added several small but useful features to improve everyday usability:
- LED interior lighting for better visibility
- Durable door hinges for long-term reliability
- Removable door seals for easy cleaning
- Additional temperature control options
These details may seem minor, but they contribute significantly to a better user experience over time.
Price and Availability
Xiaomi has priced these refrigerators aggressively to target budget-conscious buyers:
- 186L double-door model: 849 yuan (approximately $123)
- 216L triple-door model: 949 yuan (approximately $138)
At these prices, both models offer excellent value for users looking for reliable and compact refrigeration solutions.
Final Thoughts
With the launch of these new Mijia refrigerators, Xiaomi continues to focus on practical innovation rather than unnecessary complexity. Both the 186L and 216L models are designed to meet real-world needs—efficient cooling, smart storage, and compact design.
For anyone living in smaller homes or looking for an affordable upgrade, these refrigerators strike a strong balance between performance, efficiency, and price.
