Our Review
The Midea MRB23D5 23 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer is a 22.8 cu. ft. bottom-freezer refrigerator from Midea, sitting in the sub-$1,000 range. With a 16.2 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 6.6 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for families of 4-5.
What stands out
At this price, Midea delivers the headline specs (capacity, ice maker, ENERGY STAR rating where present) and skips the extras. If you need a working refrigerator and don't care about cabinet-flush styling or app integration, that's a fair trade.
Wi-Fi connectivity is built in — you can check fridge and freezer temperatures, receive door-left-open alerts, and (on supported models) push diagnostic codes to a service technician without a callout. Setup friction is normal; once connected, expect stable day-to-day operation from Midea's app.
Layout and capacity
Exterior dimensions are 32.9" W × 67.3" H × 32.0" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 22.8 cu. ft., split 16.2 fresh / 6.6 freezer.
Bottom line
The Midea MRB23D5 23 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer delivers the basics at one of the lowest prices in the category. If your goal is a working fridge with the right capacity, this gets the job done.
