I don't think you can get a better job than a sharp file myself but I have heard th " Carlton Profi " is a goodun .

ive had cheap electric ones off ebay etc there not worth a penny, i bought a oregon 1 which is basically identical to this 1 off clarks this is what you should buy, or find the oregon 1 like this.

I have an acct with central spares and they are carlton agents. they were doing decent ones for around £100. I bought something from lidls made in germany. The chain guide is a bit flimsey but its great and it sharpens all my chains For £20. I have not felt the need to spend alot of money and I can get the stuff trade. The more adjustable and complicated it is the less likely you are to use it. I tend to only sharpen 325 and the larger 3/8

The 12v one that Rob does on the alaskan site is brilliant. Easy to use, and consistant results.

I have never used one of those but if its good enough for Rob and people with alaskan mills use it must be good. Milling must be one of the hardest uses of saw chain. At £50 its not a once in a life time investment either.
