G'day Mike.
Short answer is yes. Long answer is yes BUT it depends how big the chest-freezer is, what it's construction materials are and how much power you want to push into it.
These units (the double-peltier type) are now fairly commonly seen in cheap wine fridges and the like where the priotity is chilling not freezing. They are good at keeping temps between 10-15C but of the 3 I've owned over the past 5 years, none has lasted longer then 2 years. If you want to freeze stuff, I'm not sure these have got the grunt to do it.
