<div dir="ltr">We've been impressed with Manny's customer service and have bought many appliances from the Hadley store for decades. Manny also sells a wonderful line of Greek olives and olive oil via River Valley Co-op and I met The Man Himself when he was demoing there. Perhaps they would let you put in an advance order; you probably won't need a stand-alone freezer until at least July anyway.<div><br></div><div>We actually bought a freezer from them last August. One thing I liked is that they offered an in-between model that was the right size for us. It's an Insignia, slightly above 22 inches in both length and width, and I think it holds 5.2 cu ft. This was a good size for a two-person household with an active garden. We filled it completely by the end of October, and emptied it completely and unplugged it last month. We almost bought a much larger one online that would have been too big for the space. The freezer in our fridge is still fairly crowded, because we moved everything out of the chest freezer once we had room to combine. It worked well. There was a small amount of ice buildup but after we unplugged it I left it wide open for three or four days and it first melted, then evaporated. During this off-time, I'm closing it but with a rag between the hatch and the freezer body, so it can't fully close (and won't go moldy).</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small"></div><div>Shel Horowitz - "The Transformpreneur"</div><div>________________________________________________</div><div>Contact me to bake in profitability while addressing hunger, </div><div>poverty, war, and catastrophic climate change</div><div>* First business ever to be Green America Gold Certified</div><div>* Inducted into the National Environmental Hall of Fame</div><div>* Certified speaker: International Platform Association</div><div><a href="http://goingbeyondsustainability.com" target="_blank">http://goingbeyondsustainability.com</a> </div><div>mailto:<a href="mailto:shel@greenandprofitable.com" target="_blank">shel@greenandprofitable.com</a> 413-586-2388</div><div>Award-winning, best-selling author of 10 books. </div><div>Latest:Guerrilla Marketing to Heal the World </div><div>(co-authored with Jay Conrad Levinson)</div><div><br></div><div>Watch my TEDx Talk,</div><div>"Impossible is a Dare: Business for a Better World"</div><div><a href="http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/11809" target="_blank">http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/11809</a> </div><div>(move your mouse to "event videos")</div><div>_________________________________________________</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 13, 2020 at 4:24 PM Deborah Chandler via Hidden-discuss <<a href="mailto:hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net">hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(68,68,68)">Hi Hidden-Techers,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(68,68,68)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(68,68,68)">Has anyone had any luck recently buying a chest freezer at a locally-owned store? </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(68,68,68)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(68,68,68)">I spoke with someone at the Manny's in Greenfield last week and they said they won't be getting any back in til end of June or beginning of July.
