Have been looking at 5.1 or 7.1 Hotpoints - SKU #'s 1416444 or 1416445
Just got home from Lowes with the
Hotpoint 7.1 cu ft Chest Freezer for $219 [lowes.com]
It was the last one at my nearest store.... $269 list, on sale for $219 = $208.05 after the Lowes card discount.
Hotpoint 7.1 at Brickseek [brickseek.com] seems to be fairly accurate for this item in my area...
For 72015, Bryant was low / now shows Out of Stock after my purchase... Russellville had 10 yesterday, now 2.
Other chest freezers available around here are the
Hotpoint 5.1 cu ft for $179 (reg $239) [brickseek.com]
the
Midea 8.8 cu ft for $349 [brickseek.com]
and the
Whirlpool 15 cu ft for $499 (reg $569) [brickseek.com]

Plano shows 3 of the 7.1 [brickseek.com]
I did not check the others
Lowe's is strange in that two different Lowe's said none available for order but a third location, the appliance guy said he saw a "new shipment" being formed but it was his experience that none of them would make it to the store. He said I could order it and I would get it next week.
It's strange because he said that it was NOT a special order, but he was piggybacking onto an existing Lowe's order, but for me, it would be the same as a special order if I paid for it now. I did and it came in on Wed the next week. My point is, if you really want one, you might try that way because there was nothing available online, back then then either.
That said, the 7.1 Hotpoint is nice. It has a nice door seal, kind of like a refrigerator door seal, unlike many of the freezers with a solid groove design. No complaints. It's extra quiet. You can't ever tell it's on. It comes with one wire basket that sits on top. I like the wire basket so much, I ordered 3 more. You can place 4 of the wire baskets across the top which make separating small items from the larger meat cuts below, very nice and convenient.
If you are interested, look for the GE basket model WR21X10218. This is identical to the one which comes with the unit. The same basket model is used for other freezers, so don't freak out if your freezer model is not on the list of freezers being shown.
As a reference, Amazon has it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
About the best price I have seen for these is circa $20ea. If you can find one cheaper, snap it up..
Edit: One final note. I was NOT able to get military discount on it. The guy said it was "on sale," so the system would not allow him to add the extra 10%.
This pandemic has forced people to stock up while the supplies from China are not coming fast enough. So ya, if you need one, and you find one.. get it...

Yep. Luckily we already had a freezer, but some model fridges were backordered for 2 months.
I don't remember if it was the RCA 7.1 at Walmart [walmart.com] - = - Brickseek [brickseek.com]
or the Hisense 7.0 at Walmart [walmart.com] - = - Brickseek [brickseek.com]
That one particular store shows to have both - and is the only store anywhere near me that shows to have either.
