We have both 12v and 120v in our off-grid cottage.

The fridge is 120v. Looking to add a dedicated freezer. While I know chest is the most efficient, I don't want to have to dig around.

So debating between something like this Unique freezer which it claims uses 532wh/day:

Or a 120v upright like this, which, dividing the energy star number by 365 days, uses 700wh/day PLUS inverter loss:

It basically comes down to how much extra energy will be used on my Victron inverter, AND is there an advantage that if the inverter goes down, I still can keep the freezer cool?
