With 508 litres of net capacity you can keep a whole season of berries and vegetables, game, fish and packed ready meals at once. The deep cabinet of the chest also takes pieces that would not fit in a freezer with drawers. To keep packs at the bottom from getting lost, it helps to portion food into boxes or bags and label them with the freezing date.
On the EU energy label scale from A to G, the chest is class E, with an annual consumption of 298 kWh according to the manufacturer. A chest has the advantage that heavier cold air does not spill out as easily when the lid is opened as it does from the door of an upright freezer. A full chest also holds the cold better than a half-empty one, because the frozen food itself helps keep the temperature down.
According to the manufacturer, the noise level is 41 dB with noise class C. The compressor is audible, so a good place for the chest is a pantry, cellar, utility room or another space where people do not spend long periods. That way it will not disturb anyone at night either. The chest simply stands on the floor and does not need to fit a niche or match furniture.
According to the manufacturer, the chest has no No Frost system, so frost and ice build up on the walls over time. When the ice layer gets thick, switch the chest off, move the food elsewhere for a while and let the ice melt. With a chest this large, it makes sense to plan defrosting for a time when stocks are low, for example before a new season.
The chest is 153 cm wide, 73.5 cm deep and 83 cm tall, so it needs a fair amount of floor space. The lid opens upwards, so there must be room above the chest to open it fully. Before choosing it, also measure the doors and corridors it has to pass through on the way to its spot, and leave a little free space around it for air circulation.
Midea MDRC698FEE01 suits a large family, a country house or a farm, hunters and anglers, and everyone who freezes their own garden and forest produce. Its 508 litres replace several smaller freezers and keep all the stocks in one place, provided there is room for it at home.

The dimensions are 153 × 73.5 × 83 cm (width × depth × height). Also check the width of the doorways and that there is room above the chest to open the lid.
Yes. This model has no No Frost system, so accumulated ice has to be defrosted manually from time to time.
According to the manufacturer, 298 kWh per year, energy class E on the A–G scale.
The noise level is 41 dB with noise class C. The compressor is audible, so the chest is better suited to a side room than a living space.
The manufacturer does not specify the number of baskets. In a large chest, labelled boxes and bags grouped by type of food help you keep track of what is inside.
