Meaning they don't make freezers as well as they use to. The freezer I have in the basement was my mother-in-law's old freezer, it's older than my husband... lived on her back porch without heat through Minnesota winters, for 40 some years before moved to my basement... it's over 60 years old, still chugging along. Geesh, hope I don't jinx it, don't want to have to replace it with one that lasts 10 years tops.

It's time to bring back US made products, more important time to bring back quality made products that lasts for years.

I have had the same experience. We had my grandma's freezer, a Sears brand. It lasted 69+ years.
