Engels is good. Couple of things to keep in mind:
Unlike the 110 volt household freezers, these dual voltage units - Dometic, Engel, Arb, and a few others - are designed for use on boats and expedition vehicles, and are far more rugged than a household item needs to be.

This can save you hundreds of dollars in food that DIDN'T spoil if you were away when the power went out.
