Never had one but now need  a small one so went to Lowes, Home Depot & another place same story not to be found until August. I know price of food going up want a small freezer to get threw all this stuff as meat prices going up faster than last week. I ask to pre order (not seen} no they will not do that. I hope they don't ask a huge price because of demand. If you have a freezer be thankful. So if you want a freezer you have to wait til august.

You checked all the obvious stores like everybody else - and a relative of mine did

too  She found  & bought one at Overstock.com and is very happy with it.

I don't mind buying 2nd hand for some things.

Mattress, no

Freezer, yes.

Where I live, there are a few appliance stores selling 2nd hand.    The items are usually refurbished trade in's or scratch & dent.  When you walk in the store & look around, it looks like a just new appliance store.    Very clean & organized.   

I'm guessing the factory shut down during the virus spike causing the delay.

You might want to check online such as Amazon, Sears, etc.

We have always had a second refrigertor in our garage.  I just cannot get by with one frig and freezer.  Maybe consider that, then you would have both

According to news - most appliances now come from China.  None made in the US.  I've had my 6 ft freezer over 30 years - Westinghouse - and it's full all the time.  I stock up on strawberries this time of year - and then meat as Fall approaches.

Depending on what you mean by small, you are not going to find one at any of the box stores.

You are going to have to order it from an on-line source like Amazon or Walmart and have it delivered.

Just went through this in early February.

@sissel   I only wish it was August.  I purchased one at Lowes yesterday because I want to replace my very old energy inefficient one with a smaller "energy star" one, and it won't be delivered until October 28th.  

I'm not in a huge hurry, but am very surprised that the lead time is out that far.  Was on sale with a 12 month no interest promotion. 

Mine says manufactured in USA so hopefully that means it's 100% made here, but who knows what they consider manufactured....put together here by imported parts?

@sissel  I own three freezers.  One upright and two chests.  The last one I purchased, I got from Wayfair.  Delivery was prompt and free and the price was good.

i just checked, and they have freezers in stock.  You might want to check them out.
