My parents’ deep freezer was purchased from Sears in 1958. A mammoth chest freezer. Poor Mom was short. She couldn't reach the bottom. She would get my taller brother to pull out anything toward the bottom.

It's still running. Only downside to it is that it isn't frost free. Has to be defrosted periodically. And I'm sure the enviro-whackos would be displeased. It's an energy guzzler. But it keeps everything frozen.

Today you can't buy a freezer that big. And with all that digital and energy saving carp, new freezers (and appliances in general) don't last more than 5 years. For all the money we spend on these appliances, we get garbage.

Ours isn’t quite that big, but my mother was short too, and the depth challenged her quite often too.
