Xiaomi Mijia 621L Smart Side-by-Side Refrigerator Launches in Germany With App Control and Huge Storage Space
Xiaomi is bringing another smart home appliance to the European market with the official launch of the Mijia 621L Side-by-Side Refrigerator in Germany. Designed for households that need serious storage capacity, this large refrigerator-freezer combo combines modern cooling technology, smart controls, and a spacious interior aimed at families and anyone who prefers to stock up on groceries.
The Xiaomi Mijia 621L refrigerator was first introduced in May and is now available in Germany for €799, which is slightly lower than its listed retail price of €849. With dimensions of 910 × 715 × 1,770 mm, it is clearly built for buyers who want a full-size kitchen appliance rather than a compact fridge-freezer.
Its main highlight is the generous 621-liter total capacity. The left-side freezer compartment offers 236 liters of space, while the refrigerator section on the right provides 385 liters. That makes it significantly larger than many typical fridge-freezer models sold in Europe, giving users more room for fresh produce, frozen meals, drinks, leftovers, and bulk shopping.
For cooling performance, Xiaomi equips the Mijia 621L with a multi-directional airflow system designed to distribute cold air evenly throughout the appliance. This helps keep temperatures stable across different shelves and compartments, reducing warm spots and helping food stay fresh for longer. The refrigerator also includes precise temperature control, allowing users to manage cooling settings more accurately.
The freezer is capable of freezing up to 14 kg of food within 24 hours, making it suitable for larger households or users who regularly freeze fresh ingredients. An internal ice maker is also included, although there is no external ice or water dispenser. That means users need to open the freezer door to access ice cubes.
Smart features are another key selling point. The Mijia 621L can connect to the Xiaomi Home app, allowing users to monitor and adjust settings from a smartphone. Voice control is also supported, adding convenience for users who already have a connected smart home setup. For quick manual adjustments, Xiaomi has included an integrated control panel directly on the appliance.
The refrigerator uses a dual-inverter system, which helps keep operation quiet and efficient for its size. Xiaomi lists the noise level at 35 dB, making it relatively quiet for a large side-by-side refrigerator. This should make it suitable for open-plan kitchens and modern living spaces where appliance noise can be more noticeable.
In terms of energy use, the Xiaomi Mijia 621L carries an E energy efficiency rating. Its annual power consumption is listed at 342 kWh. Based on an electricity cost of €0.30 per kWh, yearly running costs would be around €100. While that is on the higher side compared with smaller appliances, it is not unusual for a refrigerator-freezer with this much capacity.
Potential buyers should also pay close attention to installation space. The doors can open up to 120 degrees, so the unit requires enough clearance on both sides to operate comfortably. This is especially important in tighter kitchens or spaces where the refrigerator will be placed close to walls or cabinets.
Overall, the Xiaomi Mijia 621L Side-by-Side Refrigerator is aimed at users who want a large-capacity smart fridge-freezer with app connectivity, quiet performance, and strong freezing capability. With its spacious 621-liter layout, internal ice maker, dual-inverter technology, and Xiaomi Home integration, it adds a competitive new option to the European smart appliance market.
