For the price of a DC freezer, you could buy enough pure-sine inverter to run a commodity AC freezer, along with a timer to keep the whole setup from eating too much battery overnight. I ran a dorm fridge (and lights, laptop, water pump) with 400W of panels, the whole system cost less than a DC appliance.
If you'd rather avoid all the complexity, yes, Sundanzer or Steca; some models have enough thermostat range that they can be used as a fridge without modification.
A new DC appliance will just be expensive because you have to pay "island price" at a "specialty retailer".
