Gütersloh/Milan, April 21, 2026 No. 031/2026
  • XXL built-in appliances with 45 percent more volume – ideal for large households and weekly shopping

  • French Door freestanding units for added convenience: beverage dispenser and flexible compartment for cooling or freezing

  • MasterCool series combines design, impressive size, and maximum freshness for food

Whether it’s a big weekly shop, structured food storage, or special occasions: a large refrigerator makes everyday organization easier. Miele is responding to this need with three new cooling solutions that stand out for their generous capacities, innovative freshness systems, and stylish design. With the new XXL built-in combinations, elegant French Door units, and the enhanced MasterCool series, the premium manufacturer offers modern solutions for various kitchen concepts.

“With these three appliance concepts, we’re addressing different target groups who share one common desire: more space, more freshness, and more convenience,” says Holger Keisinger, Senior Vice President of the Business Unit Refrigeration at Miele. “This strengthens our position in the premium segment and ensures a suitable solution for every kitchen concept.”

XXL Built-In Fridge-Freezer Combinations

The new fridge-freezer combinations are designed for households that value extra storage space and organized food management. With up to 44%*1 more usable volume compared to standard niche models, they offer ample room for large weekly shops and flexible storage options. In comparison to the standard niche of 60 cm width and 178 cm height, the XXL niche offers an additional 15 cm in width and 16 cm in height – providing even more space and convenience in everyday use.

Advanced freshness systems such as PerfectFresh Pro and DailyFresh keep food fresh for significantly longer. Even temperature distribution throughout the interior is ensured by DynaCool, while the Longlife AirClean System effectively reduces unpleasant odours by up to 95%*2.

Smart solutions such as the FlexiRack provide maximum flexibility for storing bottles and everyday items: the adjustable glass shelves can be configured as a full-width surface or to create dedicated space for bottles – ensuring secure storage without rolling. This is complemented by FlexiBoard for even greater adaptability. Premium design features such as the new BlackSteel interior further enhance the high-end look and feel.

Convenience features such as SoftClose, NoFrost (no ice build-up), and seamless integration into Miele@home complete the user experience. More information about the XXL models can be found here.

Comfort Meets Design: The New French Door Freestanding Units

With its new French Door freestanding units, Miele introduces a premium category that combines functional diversity with elegant aesthetics. The wing-door design not only allows comfortable access to all compartments but also provides space for organized storage. A highlight is the “PerfectFresh Active” freshness system, which uses active humidification to keep food fresh for longer. This is complemented by the “Longlife AirClean System”, a regenerable filter that noticeably reduces unpleasant odors and preserves food freshness.

Another standout feature is the “Freeze&Cool” function, which allows part of the appliance to be used flexibly as either a fridge or freezer. The ice and water dispenser provides filtered refreshment, while high-quality glass surfaces make a stylish statement in any modern kitchen. Ideal for families who value both design and convenience.

MasterCool Offers Premium Technology in a New Dimension

With the third generation of its MasterCool series, Miele sets new standards in refrigeration. The interior made of brushed stainless steel is not only visually impressive but also hygienic and durable. The new “BrilliantLight Pro” lighting concept ensures even and atmospheric illumination that highlights the elegant design.

In addition to its premium look, the modern refrigerators feature innovative technology. The enhanced “M Touch Pro” display and connectivity with the Miele App*3 guarantee easy and convenient operation. The integrated “FoodView” cameras allow users to check the contents of the fridge via the app – helping to avoid forgotten items and making spontaneous shopping easier. The new “MasterFresh Pro” freshness system keeps perishable food fresh up to five times longer. The “Longlife AirClean System” also reduces odors by up to 95%*2, preserving food freshness.

Additional features such as “Push2open” technology, spill-proof glass shelves, and the integrated ice dispenser offer everyday convenience. Detailed information about the new MasterCool series can be found here.

The MasterCool range was launched in Europe in April 2026, with other countries to follow in due course. The French Door freestanding models will be launched in summer 2026, and the new XXL models from January 2027.
