Costco’s Viral 7-Drawer Freezer Is Back in Stock — But Not for Long!

For a lot of people, especially around the holidays, keeping your kitchen freezer organized can feel virtually impossible. The freezer can be a frigid wasteland where food gets lost or hidden behind stacks of other food, only to be discovered during the eventual freezer cleanout, covered in freezer burn.

If this sounds like an all-too-familiar tale, take heart; Costco has finally restocked their viral Hamilton Beach Upright Freezer that makes it easier to stay organized so you never have to lose your food to the frozen abyss again.

Standalone freezers are usually designed like a chest, but this freezer from Hamilton Beach stands upright like a refrigerator. Here are some of the top features:

• Has 11 cubic feet of freezer storage, allowing you to organize to your heart’s content whether it’s with freezer bags or a simple sorting method
• Includes seven removable acrylic drawers that are easy to keep clean
• Simple assembly that just requires securing the door handle and leveling the self-leveling legs
• Can be easily plugged into any wall outlet
• Designed for energy efficiency, including a manual defrost function to avoid wasting energy

Editorial shopping director Jada Wong has the Costco freezer, and loves the spacious drawers’ built-in organization. With the freezer’s unique drawer system, she’s able to sort certain things like produce, meat, and more, and easily see what she has or needs before heading out to the grocery store.

The Hamilton Beach Upright Freezer is an investment, but there are a few ways to buy the viral freezer.

First, if you’re not yet a Costco member, you can sign up for a one-year Gold Star membership and get a $45 gift card that you can use on the freezer in the warehouse or online. If you shop at the warehouse, the freezer will cost $299.99, but if you shop online, it will cost a bit more at $399.99. However, this option does include free shipping and installation, which could be worth the higher cost.

No matter how you shop for the freezer, we have a feeling the window of opportunity is going to be small. When it went viral back in the summer, the freezer sold out quickly, so if you’re in the market, we suggest grabbing one soon.

But if it’s already out of stock by the time you’re ready to check out, or you’d rather go for a similar model that has shelves instead of drawers (which some Costco shoppers mention in reviews), Walmart has you covered with a different Hamilton Beach upright freezer that’s in the same price range. It’s a tiny bit smaller, but depending on your organization methods, the shelves could offer more optimized storage.

Whether you have a large family, love to entertain, or simply prefer to shop in bulk to save money, an upright freezer could be the storage solution you’ve been waiting for. Thanks to Costco’s viral Hamilton Beach freezer, your food will never again get lost in that frigid wasteland. For that reason alone, it’s no wonder that it went viral on TikTok!
