I have a chest freezer 31 yo. Going strong

My folks had an upright freezer that was made in the mid to late 1950s. They bought it used when they were married in the mid-1960s. It was still going strong in 2011 when they finally decided to get rid of it. It was heavy and they need something to fit in a basement, so decided to buy new. 50+ years old.

I bought a chest freezer from a neighbor who was moving away.
Brand is Kelvinator. I have had it 25 years and I think she bought it sometime in the 1970’s.

We still have the 60 years old refrigerator with the round hat motor up on the top. Sure it needs a few days defrosting every six months, but I need that time off my phone and smart apps now and then to catch up on the important stuff.
