4Patriots, LLC is an old-fashioned American success story. The company came to life at our kitchen table in Nashville, Tennessee with a notepad and pen. We had decided the soulless life of corporate America wasn’t for us, and that we wanted something more. We wanted to build something real; something that could really help people and provide real solutions to the problems that we, our families and our friends, encountered every day.Living on a shoestring budget, we used our savings to get started with our very first product, one that we knew could impact many people’s lives and get them on the road to greater self-reliance. We invested any profits we made right back into the company so we could continue to grow our business without borrowing a dime, and that’s how we continue to do business today.It might have taken us a little longer this way, but at the end of the day we’ve been able to build a thriving company that treats our customers and employees right.Today, not only do we offer a wide variety of great products that help our customers be more self-reliant and independent, but we’ve also been able to provide full-time jobs for over 200 people (and we’re still growing!). We feel blessed every day to work with such a dedicated team and to be able to impact the lives of so many people.At 4Patriots, we champion freedom and self-reliance. This is our core purpose and our mission.So how do we do it?We offer high-quality products that help our customers become more self-reliant and prepared.We follow the Golden Rule. Put simply, we treat our customers the way we would want to be treated.We strive to be a great place for great people to work.

Hi John,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns about the promotion for the Patriot Power Generator 1200. We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by the discrepancy between the advertised end date of February 28 and the continued availability of the promotion.

Thank you for your continued support.

If I could rate my experience with zero…
If I could rate my experience with zero Stars I would. Paid a premium for a four Patriot sidekick that didn't even last two years or a hundred cycles before it completely died. Contacted the company, and they tried to tell me I only had a one year warranty when I purchased it they said there was a 2-year warranty. They do not back their product. They should also not have the privilege of saying they support veterans such as myself. They definitely do not. Being a full-time traveler and dealing with fellow veterans on a daily basis you can guarantee that I will let them know to stay away from this company!

Hello William, I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with your Sidekick. I completely understand your frustration. The Sidekick comes with a one-year warranty, while the only device that includes a two-year warranty is our Patriot Power Cells. If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We're happy to help!

Bait and switch. Not up front with their offer.
Their ad offered the 3 month supply of food for right around 590.00. Great. Then it was also offered free shipping. Great. Then they offered 5 equal payments. Great I'm in. Then you check your credit card and find out they took 192.58 on your card. Then two more payments of 143.58. I called customer service and was told I had two more payments of 153.58. Do the math, thats 766.90. Then he says they give free shipping o equal payments. WHAT. I live 25 miles from where it was shipped. Flat rate fee of 49.00. That's right 49.00. Oh and by the way equal payment customers have to more. WHAT. The old bait and switch. I'm going to the Better Business Bureau on this one. Never again will I deal with this company. I should have read the bad reviews first. By the way, they don't send an invoice with the product. That comes 2 months latter in an email.

Hi Marty, thank you for your review and feedback on our 3-Month Food Kit + 4 Free 72H. I apologize for any confusion you have about your order. After reviewing your account, I see that you purchased the 3-Month Food Kit + 4 Free 72H on the payment plan for five payments of $139.40 before tax. When you pay in full for the entire order, the shipping charge is not charged. When you set up the payment plan, the shipping fee of $49 is applied to your order. It is stated on the offer page. So your first payment of $192.58 includes the shipping and the first payment of $139.40 plus tax. Your next four payments would be $143.58. You have made three payments of the five as far since your purchase on 11/28/2024. I have also included the link to the offer that was purchased, which lists the cost when you select the payment plan. https://products.4patriots.com/food/3month/checkout. Again, I apologize for any confusion.

Only five star reviews on their testimonials why
What I want to know is where can I go on their website and leave my testimonial of their products. For some reason there's no place to do that gee I wonder why?

I want to know why my patriot solar…
I want to know why my patriot solar generator is made in china
Response from 4PatriotsJan 20, 2025
Hi Robert, Thank you for your review! The Patriot Power Generator was designed and developed at our corporate office in Tennessee, and built by a phenomenal manufacturer in China. We ship all orders from our warehouse in Salt Lake City, Utah and our customer support team is based in the U.S. as well. While we make every effort to source products domestically, some product categories, particularly those electronic in nature, are difficult or impossible to find adequate manufacturing in the US. This is not just a cost issue, but a supply chain, engineering, and manufacturing capacity issue. Very few products like computers, cell phones, televisions, etc. are made in the US, and we're not a large enough company to build or re-engineer the appropriate production to do the advanced technology work we source and our customers demand.
We insist that our 4Patriots food products and supplement products are produced in the US. But we're able to do that because the appropriate partners exist today. We also provide meaningful support to important charities that help American Veterans and their families https://4patriots.com/pages/4patriots-donations

I ordered an 1800 generator in 2022
I ordered an 1800 generator in 2022. It hasn't been used, but when I attempted to use this generator for the first time this past Thanksgiving, it could only power one small appliance. When I went to plug in a 2nd small appliance, the generator shut down. The generator could not power two or more small appliances. This was an embarrassing experience, to say the least. This product is supposed to power refrigerators and other large appliances for a significant period of time. To be fair, we were supposed to check the power every 3-4 months and perform maintenance on it. We didn't perform maintenance on it for several months, but the charge level wasn't the problem, rather the output was not working as expected or advertised. The product has never been used, and it was either defective ab initio, or misleading as to what can be charged.
I contacted customer support, and they stated the 1-year warranty expired and 4patriots is not responsible. Of course, if we paid hundreds of dollars for an extended warranty, then they would cover it. However, this product has never been used, and I was lulled into thinking that 4patriots would stand by its name and deliver dependable products. They already charged about $2,700 for the generator and some dehydrated food supplies, which was a push for me. I could not afford the extended warranty. I expect a good company will stand by its product and exercise good faith and fair dealing, especially when they are supposed to support our troops. Why is it I feel like one of the soldiers left behind or abandoned by our government in Afghanistan?
Anyway, I can't undo things nor change 4patriots position on this matter, but I can give a "heads up" to the general public and consumers to avoid purchasing any products from this company. Your time and well-earned money are better spent on either reviewing another company and/or making your own survivor's supplies.
In rebuttal to 4Patriots response, the generator battery has been stored in our home with an average temperature of 68-72 degrees. As previously mentioned, the generator battery was fully charged. However, the power output is and was defective from the beginning. Your boilerplate response does not honestly address this underlying issue. Your 1 year warranty may provide some legal protection, but your "too bad, so sad" perspective demonstrates your failure to stand by your product. Sooner or later your dishonesty and bad faith will catch up to you.

Hi Leo, Thank you for your review and feedback! I'm sorry your Patriot Power Generator did not meet your expectations. After reviewing your account, your unit is out of warranty and an extended warranty was not purchased. When storing your Patriot Power Generator, you want to store it fully charged and check on your unit periodically to top the battery off. Also, you want to store it in a climate-controlled environment. The best recommendation we can offer is to store the PPG fully charged and to check the charge periodically. Lithium-based batteries do degrade over time. In addition, storing the PPG in a climate-controlled environment would help extend the life of the battery since there would be no worries over severe temperature fluctuations throughout the seasons. When dealing with lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, they're not a fan of being stored in cold temps. Recommended storage temperature: -5 to +35°C (23 to 95 °F) Storage up to 1 month: -20 to +60°C (4 to 140 °F) Storage up to 3 months: -10 to +35°C (14 to 95 °F) Extended storage time: +15 to +35°C (59 to 95 °F). The Patriot Power Generator battery, which runs on DC power, has a full capacity of 768 watt-hours (12.8 volts/60 amp-hours) and will be able to provide that full capacity to any DC device connected to it. When you are using the generator to power a device using the AC 120V outlets, the generator's battery must use a portion of its capacity to convert its native DC power into AC 120V power, meaning the battery has a slightly shorter life while running AC devices. Yet the Patriot Power Generator battery uses one of the most efficient conversion processes available to keep the generator working at an impressive 90.6% capacity (691 watt-hours) while using the AC 120V outlet.
To calculate how long (in hours) a device can be powered by the Patriot Power Generator, divide the capacity of the Patriot Power Generator (768 watt-hours [DC] or 691 watt-hours [AC]) by the power
consumption of the device (in watts) that is displayed on the LCD once you plug in the device. Capacity (Wh) / Consumption (W) = Life of the device (h)

I wrote a review back in November and…nothing has gotten better!
I wrote a review back in November and gave 4 Patriots the lowest rating I could. As of December 31, the issues with this company are still not resolved! I can’t express enough that anyone remotely interested in buying from this company should be very very wary. In September I purchased an 1800 generator and Sidekick generator from this company. All together the cost was $ 2671.79 - not cheap! I believed in these products and the fact the company was advertised on Fox News Channel as 4 Patriots. Unfortunately, my belief in them was misplaced. The first Sidekick was defective and overheated. After many hours on the phone trying to reach an associate, this generator was replaced and a second one sent. It was also defective.. This scenario occurred three times! It was at this point my husband said to request a full refund because with three defective generators, he no longer had confidence that the 1800 would work and living in Florida, he did not want to wait for another hurricane and power outage to discover it too was defective. I then requested a full refund of my $2671.79. I was promised a return box with styrofoam and appropriate labels. To this date, December 31, I still have received none. With the exception of an associate named Joey, this company has been a complete disappointment! They are dishonest and not accountable. I would never ever recommend anyone to trust in them being “ Patriots” or an honorable US company. It is obvious to me that they are simply another scam company who buys their products from China and is all in for greed $. They do not stand by their promises and certainly are not customer friendly. They simply make every excuse to not giving money back for their defective products. Seriously, how hard is it to send a customer a return box and labels. As I said in an earlier review, BUYERS BEWARE! Although the concept in solar generators is good, their service and products leave much to be desired. Save yourself lots of money and aggravation, buy a gasoline generator for $300 and save yourself lots of headaches and frustration. 4 Patriots should not be allowed to advertise themselves on Fox and should be reported to the Better Business Bureau as a scam!
