Shopping for a dishwasher in September, the earliest availably date for the model I wanted was December 26 + an estimated 1 month backlog for delivery. Many others were delayed until March 2021. I found another model that was supposedly available now, but 1 week before delivery in October my order was bumped out to 2021. This happened two more times.

Luckily I don't have very particular needs in a dishwasher and I have a trailer. Somebody at the big box hardware store near me canceled their order and because I'm constantly looking, I was able to pick one up just this very morning. When I picked it up, another customer was trying to buy it.

If you're able to be flexible, then you can probably get something in less than 6 months. A buddy of mine has a less-commonly sized space for their fridge which he cannot change w/o tearing apart the kitchen and the soonest he can get a replacement is February. They are living out of a couple dorm-room refrigerators until then.

I can understand if you want a particular modal there can be a delay. A quick look at the big box retailers near me show variety of refrigerators in different sizes are available today.
