I can say that it's pretty hard, if not impossible to find a made in USA Freezer (Canadian would be OK too, since it's not a third-world country that exploits its workers.) After shopping around for one about 18 months ago, I decided not to add any more money to the pockets of the greedy, and bought a 20-year-old "Gibson" for $50. Still working good, and I'm $350 ahead.

I just bought an antique (30s?) electric oscillating fan from eBay rather than another throw-away piece of crap from China. Fits in nice with my living room decor, unlike some more plastic garbage.

Actually, I've used this approach for many of the things in my house...

Fridge/stove, Kenmore (1965)
Maytag Dishwasher came w/house (1995)
Garage fridge, Kelvinator (1947)

All 5 TVs are Zenith from 1958-1990 (I have more, but they aren't really used daily)

Audio system, 1967 Magnavox
Kenmore Washer (1968) Dryer (1983)
Kenmore Vacuum (1975) and newer US-made Oreck
Transoceanic Zenith radio (1972)

I will confess to a newer DVD/CD player, since that technology didn't exist back in the day. Also have a Sharp above the stove microwave, but only to save counter space. If I had room, I'd junk that barely-legible-LED POS and find an old Chrome Amana radarange, like the one we still use at work.

My '79 Zenith Chromacolor Space Command probably sees the most use out of all my TVs, several hours a day, and I don't feel like I'm giving up anything to modern TVs. I really don't need Stereo/Hi-Def to watch the crap that's on TV anyways.
