Thank you for taking the time to post this Ben. I too found this company when I first started looking into solar storage all in one solutions several years ago. I found the specs lacking in almost all categories and immediately dismissed them. Another turn off is when a company offers to finance a purchase like this. Life changing advice here folks... DON’T FINANCE! Save your money until you can afford something. Doing your research while you save your money is a great way to maximize your investment dollar and avoid impulse purchases. End rant.
They are offering free shipping, survival food?, plus lil nonsense items. They must be desperate to try and shovel this waste onto other people. Don’t know why CZcams is advertising this scam company.
1/3 off the world population starving may reach 2/3. Dump ocean water into dry rivers with ocean fish, have an ocean river, desal at farms, steam distiller St the kitchen sink, disinfected and salt free Collect America's lawn mower clippings for more cattle, new jobs. Instead we export corn and beef and have a storage and import meat from other countries Don't eat people, if it's time for cabalism as some are saying it's time for mass suicides, and don't eat them, no, you may not be a zombie. Stop eating people, plant cows eat chicken They tried to make viruses to eliminate half the world, they are unsuccessful, 65 percent of the world would say thanks for a synthetic opioid euthanasia drink by the 10,000 gallon vat, I could have done agenda 21 better 8 years ago Soon your cities will be without water, unless you hire people for US currency which costs the same to print as unemployment without a future and pump desalinated water from the ocean into river systems we're not being drawn to the sun, There's two black holes on the surface, whatever was gravitationally drawn to the core went there, and the overall gravity of the sun increased but it got hotter but we're moving away and angry solar flares and CMEs are coming after us for leaving. Heat pushes clouds causing flooding on other parts of this planet while coronal mass ejection and solar flares from magnetic connections from the sun to the earth are increasing. One day maybe it will arc weld this iron ball if we don't cross elliptical orbit line with the moon. Tell NASA about the moon and a year and a half later they make Moonfall. They should make a euthanasia for everyone who wants to go, or be stuck to endure the future even if you don't want to be here at all??? With the moon it'd be a tsunami one way and a volcano the other, the future of our relationship with the sun is a different issue However, 65 percent of the planet would take a synthetic opioid drink by the 10,000 gallon vat and say thanks, 1/3 off the world is starving to death, 5 percent need bones they can't or don't want to get replaced, 5 percent need organs they can't or don't want to get replaced, 5 percent are terminally ill 5 percent chronic pain, 5-10 percent never wanted to be here anyway, and everyone else will have a peaceful way to go when they want. There's no good way to go, some are 18 and 0 and going through death and not actually dying is not fun, some attempts are violent to go through. Instead of making a euthanasia available to everyone who wants to go they kill .08 percent of the world population in two years. Everyone was the target. I would have helped the 65 percent go 8 yrs ago. They're needs to be a peaceful easy way for everyone when they want to go. Guy saves 1M in state aid, paid 600k in social security, doesn't have to die every day, just gets to leave before suffering. The guy with the kids gets 800 k from Uncle Sam in life insurance he never signed up for and Uncle Sam keeps the other 800k. Free euthanasia. Cut inflation by more than half, more than doubled available resources. Have a job by a company which pays all the taxes and picks up grass clippings M-S to take it to fields now with cows on it, 4x your US cattle with lawn mower clippings from every years, save 2500 on property taxes and make sure your clippings are out in your neighborhood on Tuesdays Pump desalinated water from ocean wave current into river systems ASAP. It costs the same to print unemployment and section 8 as it fits a job with a paycheck that won't even take your house away Here's your check if you love your neighbors and don't want to leave your free housing, and here's your bigger check if you want to rent on the private market More confusing paint all the taxes making useful cool jobs, your paper actually goes somewhere and a quarter turns back into a dollar Dig out 10 ' of river bed and cast and set two 10' pipelines to being Atlantic ocean water to every house, use steam distiller for salt free disinfected water at the kitchen sink, dump waste water into sealed pipelines. It took a turn 2 years to dig out 10' of riverbed, everyone could be back to work working in every town and we'd be at with new infrastructure. Don't put salt in your water, have more salt for more roads in the winter. Send salt water straight to homes, they'll use a distiller for their few gallons of driving and cooking water and they're off toilet to tap loop. Use electrolysis for energy from salt water. At the very least, feed rivers with desal water immediately to quickly overcome drought shortages, no problem Make a grass and corn crop that grows in ocean water hybrid with say, oceanic grass root structures, best genetic corn crop growing in salt water in Texas and Arizona while you solar desalinate more oxygen and hydrogen into the air in a 24/7/365 grow season with ocean water and no weeds growing in salt water crops or lawns, fill your swimming pool with ocean water and water your lawn with salt water, don't put salt in your what salt water put it in the roads, use a small steam distiller made of glass and stainless to get disinfected and salt water free water for cooking and drinking, maybe an ocean let for your pool, were have to deal with ocean water rise, how about a Dolphin? Make more indoor fish farms, clean fish into a flash freezer, people eat fish, kid makes 90 k a year running fishing equipment not $9 an hour people eat well People could be cremated visible to the public and the smoke can be required in a gallon of water and the ashes and cement combined and people can be made into a concrete cast or flower pot. Otherwise, if they get cremated, without a filter, or dissolved in alkyld they go down a drain? And they had that place giving fake ashes and selling bodies Maybe you could make a wireless Tesla bridge (like when you touch a Tesla ball and the current comes towards you, though you are in the millivolts) to draw CMEs from to sub to say, Mars, maybe you'll stop the earth from frying
I completely agree. Especially financing anything. Even the Bible says not to finance anything if you can avoid it. Of course most people have to finance homes and cars but pay it off faster!!!
Funny thing is,those where what made me aware of the solar generator market. I was so blown away by the idea.Luckily I took the time to check out the market.Next was the Natures Generator.Again I was like WOW I've got to get 1. I was so nieve at 1st lol. I of course kept on researching and that's when I found Ben's channel and his list of best generators. After realizing that there was the Titan which was by far the best...the rest is history. Titan with 2 BATTERIES and a Ecoflow Delta are now in my inventory. Thanks Ben for your help and for saving me from buying and regretting greatly!
What is the best things about the titan? Thank you for sharing your situation for us to learn from ! Who makes them & what makes your set up superlative :0 thanks again
I recently bought the 4P 1500. So far, it's been fine...good even. Mine had been bought and rarely, if ever, used. It came with everything, too. Solar panels included. But I paid $650. I can't imagine paying $2400 or $2500 for this. Very interesting and informative video.
I just received my Patriot Sidekick yesterday. Watched a CZcams video about it. Comes half charged, I finished charging by wall outlet. Today after watching your video I tried it. Trick: it doesn’t turn on with one push of the button, took couple times. Plugged in 2 large fans, both working just fine. Display panel doesn’t stay lit, but that isn’t an issue for me. I’ll leave it running for a few hours to see what happens. Bought it in case of hurricanes, we always lose our power. Need a way to cool off in Florida summer heat.
I got one of these from my dad when he passed. I was hoping it could run a freezer for a couple hours a day this doesn’t give me much comfort knowing how much he paid for it.
I bought a 4patriots 1500 three years ago. Fully charged it. It's still fully charged after 3 years. I plugged a couple appliances just recently and it works beautifully. No problems at all.
Thanks Victoria for your actual user opinion. It is so obvious by this guys review that he has a defective unit, but no he, from the get go, hates the product and beats it to death. He totally ignores all the signs of a defective unit and assumes all units are crap. Honest reviewer? No! I purchased the 1800 model and an extra set of panels. Played around with it for a couple months, was pleased, fully charged, and packed away. We just moved and while moving I realized it had been way over a year since I charged it. Took it out and found it had only dropped one bar. One bar down, I then plugged up to a 12 volt portable ice chest, and ran chest at 25 degrees for 6 days straight and still had 3 bars. Took about 3 hours to recharge. Real user results, not someone with a defective unit. Lastly, my brother just returned his second Titan in 3 months. Titans suck, no of course not both were manufacturing defects, it happens
I've had mine for 1.5 years. I charged it fully before Hurricane Ida. It was an epic fail. It barely made it through the night w just a fan , and forget a frig as advertised. Epic fail in the midst of a real natural disaster!
I bought the $500 package to power my CPAP. I have only used my little generator twice to check/test and I haven’t had any problems. Now I’m doing research for moving into living in a RV or a van. I’m so glad I found you as I was looking at the 1800 system. I will be going to your website for sure now. Many thanks with gratitude.
Their "Sidekick" is simply the 200 dollar Golabs r300. This company makes me furious for doing this to people. You can buy the Golabs AND a real 100 watt solar panel for no more than 300 dollars. Plus you can buy a Bluetti EB70 with a 700 watt inverter that has over twice the battery size for 500.
I came across the 4P's generator over a yr ago and initially had to have it until I learned more about the product. I'm so happy I didn't jump on it then. I ordered my Titan 1000 from you Will last month and can't wait to get it.
I have the Patriot 1500 and it has never discharged when not in use . I check it every few weeks and it always show a full charge. I think if the battery is not holding a charge when the machine is off, there might be something causing the drain that might be in need of fixing. I checked my battery level today and it shows full charge. Also the battery meter in mine is different than on yours. The gauge runs vertically and is much larger.It also gives me the power level of the battery in numbers.
Just ONE more thing.. Thanks for posting. A good friend wanted to purchase a solar "Generator" per se..LoL. When he said, "hey how about this one" I did a "Fred Sanford" and grabbed my chest and said, "Oh Lawd no!". As a Patriot and Cold War Veteran, I'm embarrassed that they will fear monger you into getting into 2500 plus dollars in debt, and not even have the common courtesy of letting this wannabe be examined by professionals. My advice, avoid like the 1971 Ford Pinto.., or first generation DC-10!
Thanks for this great info! Hopefully 4Patriots will use this review to improve their product until it's worthy of their company name. When I first saw the price (for the 1800) I got sticker shock! I MIGHT have bought it without doing much research if it were half that price, but I couldn't justify >$2k to my budget without doing some research. Thanks for this great, honest review. I'm going to subscribe to support you and check out your other videos so I can find the most bang for my budget!
They charge over 500 dollars for a 200 dollar Golabs r300 power station and a 40 watt solar panel. Anyone counting on this combo for medical reasons will quickly die. This company is taking advantage of elderly Conservatives. 100% evil. I saw a video of their staff. Bunch of evil leftists.
I bought the 1800 & have not had to use it. We are facing a storm, so I took it out to check the charge and it is fully charged. It's been sitting around power off for months. If I had heard this & other reviews I probably would have bought a different one for $ value.
Thank you Ben for another great honest video. I too am so glad I found your channel and learned what not to buy as well as what to buy and why. You made it all possible. I am so happy to be a Titan owner.
I have never heard of this product or seen it advertised since I don't do social media and have adblockers...I feel sorry for people suckered into buying this PO$! Thank you for taking your time to save people from wasting money!
I have seen tons of advertising on Instagram and as a Veteran was drawn to name and patriotic emblem, but luckily I watch your reviews and Will Prowse and will not buy anything you two don't recommend. Where are they based? Thank you for you educational and experienced reviews. I will buy a Titan when I can save enough, doesn't hurt to look LoL
Will Prowse turned me into a Lithium addict. I should be out drinking and carousing, but nooooo. I'm in the shop at 3AM top balancing some 280 amp hour Lishen batteries.
I just got two of them Amazon warehouse inventory. Ready $42 each less than " $100" 😮 for two. They are in America. Now with a full warranty. & 18 month return. I will take that all day long. Have a happy 4th
just some info. Voltage and current are inversely proportional, meaning that when one goes up the other goes down. As that battery discharges the voltage will drop. This will cause the current to go up. If the battery does not have available capacity (current) the voltage will drop even further, aka "dead battery". The increase in amperage causes heat in the battery and in the inverter circuitry. Also the display graphics represent a range for each bar. If the display has four bars then one bar means remaining charge is between 0 and 25%. Four bars represent 75% to 100%. So at four bars the charge is somewhere above 75% and still charging while the graphic is animated. 100 watts at 12.5vdc is 8 amps! While 100 watts at 110 vac is only 0.9 amps. This is why dc systems get hot.
Thank you for an honest and thorough review. I'm a beginner just learning, not knowledgeable, so it helps a lot to watch a good video about this. Good luck and wish you a happy 4th.
Thank you for an honest review of the Patriot 1500. I was seriously considering of buying one after their TV ads. What do think is the best product similar to this that could support: 1 Refrigerator 1 Air Conditioner 8 Light Bulbs 2 Electric Fans 2 Televisions And also what do think of Plasma Electro Generator. Thank you again and hoping for your response! Kind regards!
Another observation with the 1500 is that when the solar wattage is low, like 15watts or so, the unit ALWAYS runs the fan, and the fan itself is probably consuming most of that 15. I'm tempted to cut the wire to the fan and add a switch so that I can turn off the fan. Maybe they were thinking it "might get hot" ... so they always run it ... rather than running it only when its hot.
I can see why 4patriot keeps all their youtube comments OFF! Any business that cuts off comments, always a red flag. As usual, it's a spot on correct indicator of how shitty their products are.
Just make your own...2000 watt pure sine wave inverter $300...100watt solar panel $120 ...charger regulator $20 (all at Harbor Freight) Deep cycle battery $125 for a 55 hours @ 20AMP. Duracell..Sam's club...Total $565
I purchased the 4Patriots mini, along with 100 watt pannels fron off-trek, and an extra 12 volt battery from Renolgy, and I've had absolutely zero problems, the generator has lithium ion phosphate battery, the extra 12 volt battery same,
I just recently bought the Bluetti EB240 Solar Generator [Quad Kit] 2400Wh Generator + 4 x 100W Solar Panels kit for 1200 dollars and love it!~!!!!!!!!!!!! I also purchase food from 4 patriots but with even my little knowledge of solar gens, theirs did not sound right. Thank you for the great review.
I'm glad it helped. Depending on what you need, I recommend the EcoFlow Delta Max as the basic unit, and the Titan the best unit. Both can be found at PoweredPortableSolar.com
@@minutemanprep im making a complete bug out shelter, i need it for small appliances, communications and thats about it. i had looked at the well advertised patriot and had my eyes set on that, after seeing the reviews on your other videos it is clear i don't want it anymore. Appreciate the video! i don't really have a budget im working with so i just honestly want the best even if its overkill
Thanks for the review which I definitely agree! The 1500 is way overpriced for it's dismal performance. I got two of these from my uncle and I'm so glad I didn't pay for it.
I have one of the first 1500. I have not used it but I top mine off with electric every other month. My unit holds a charge for 8 weeks. I think you have a lemon.
My thought exactly. I own a 4 Patriot generator and I have charged it with no problem. I also use it. And the food is ok nothing bad yet. Mine is a newer model then what he shows. I believe he has charged it to many times to make his videos , and all that pulling on wires and plugging in and out has to ware a unit out.
I purchased a 4 pack of their solar cell chargers. The one i test fired , did very poor job , in fact one time I was messing around with it , had my phone plugged up, it almost looked like the charging device was draining what little battery charge my phone had. I never got it charge phone above 45%. I also have some of their survival food, haven't tried it , I'm skeptical about their products.
I just got the small portable sidekick, fully charged it up, tried to plug in a few small divises and NOTHING worked! I called customer service they wanted to send me to tech trouble shooting...I did not want the hassel so I'm sending it back. It wouldn't even charge my cell phone.
I spent about 5 minutes researching their stuff and it became apparent VERY quickly that they are all about marketing...but their stuff is crap. Also, they were extremely expensive for what they were selling.
Hi, I need helps with recommendations for solar generator. Emergency needs during power outage in the Pacific NW, rains constantly and snow. Which means I need waterproof, Weatherproof solar panels. Capable of running refrigerator and small heater during cold season. Windows AC during hot season. Also able to take along to road trips to power up portable freezer. Please help. I don't know any of these stuff. Quite generator would be a plus. Thank you ✌
I'm happy to help. First off I'll say that running any kind of electric heat is basically not possible long term. Even a small electric heater on low will typically use 700w to run. That is the equivalent of about 7 refrigerators all running at once. For backup heat I recommend either of these: Mr Buddy Heater 9,000 BTU: amzn.to/2pkbTYq or the Mr Buddy Heater 18,000 BTU: amzn.to/34XMMK4 and get these to go with it: Mr Buddy Heater Large Tank Filter: amzn.to/2pDKFfx and a Propane Hose to Small Thread: amzn.to/2KiU6b7. You can use this setup to run a propane heater from a 20lb/5gal propane tank which can be swapped out or refilled even during blackouts pretty easily. Plus propane doesn't go bad so you never need to worry about it in storage, it'll just be ready when you need it most. As far as a solar generator goes for running a fridge then being able to run a window AC during the summer, you'll want a Titan solar generator for sure. Simply because in order to run a window A/C unit and be able to recharge the battery so you can still run the fridge all night you'll need a lot of solar input. I would recommend the Titan 1000 Rigid kit here: poweredportablesolar.com/product/titan-1000-rigid-kit/ If you're able to get an extra battery and more panels then all the better but if not, this kit should do pretty well. The panels are also 100% snow, rain and water proof.
What I don't get is why are any of these are called a generator? If it wasn't for the solar panel it would just be a battery.... The unit itself doesn't do anything except for be a battery back up 🤔
Just bought the 1800 with solar panels on a Fb deal for $44.95 must have been a clearance for black friday...I know it's not the best but that cheap I couldn't resist it
I recall someone saying that the Beaudens 166 which is Lifepo4....had an inaccurate battery meter because they probably used something that was designed for Li Ion....which now that I think about it....someone else mentioned that Lifepo drops off heavy around the last 20 percent so I wonder if thats whats happening.....the voltage is just shot.
Greetingns from Boaco, Nicaragua i'm soooooo glad i watched your review as i almost bought this thing, very thourough review, like the testing part, we get lots of sun here but the overheating will definately be a problem. thanks greta job will watch your titan review now. #FREE MONS. ROLANDO ALVAREZ. #LEY RENACER YA!!!
I'm glad you liked the video and it was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions and we can get you a system suited for your needs. info@poweredportablesolar.com
What one would be good if I was needing to run an AC unit which solder unit would you recommend I live in Tucson Arizona and I'm doing car living so I'm trying to figure out what I need to do
Yikes, that's definitely a no-go unit. But I am more than happy to help you find a unit that will fit your needs. Please reach out to me at info@poweredportblesolar.com and I can help with that.
I was curious about how long the supplied solar panels would take to charge the "generator" -- a device that is otherwise not solar nor a generator (it's just a battery and inverter, after all, generating no electricity on it's own) -- but I could not find any reference what-so-ever in the ridiculously repetitive and prolonged sales screed. It's important for prolonged outages for knowing the likely hours it takes to recharge it so you know how much more solar panel or wind generation output to buy. You'd need two units, minimum: one to be charging and one to power your appliances (but don't even THINK about powering HVAC) as suggested is practical. 770Wh isn't all that much storage capacity for the buck, really. For example, a Generac whole house battery is roughly $1400/1000Wh, installed where this thing is roughly two and a half times as expensive. To replace my whole house battery with these would cost $100,000.
4Patriot focuses much of its marketing on the conservative market. Hence the use of Patriot in the name. The Company advertises more often than not through conservative cable channels from what I understand. To drive that point further, the owner's manual for this power station is in English only. The demographic this is mainly marketed to, especially in the early days, are to those who don't want to see other languages or any references to China in the manual.
can someone please please tell me the price of the of the generator for god sakes no one could ever give me a price I've looked everywhere I called the 1-800 number and it's a whole big run around just wondering how much and I like your commentary it's great we need more people like you to tell the truth about things just so we know especially with the generator the ads all these people's ads with tools and everything they never they leave out things
I have a review coming out on the Jackery 1500 (1800w inverter) soon. It's already scheduled here on the channel. I'm selling mine haha. It has a hard time servnig a purpose. It's too large for simple things like laptops, drones, cameras and other small devices. And too small for an emergency like running a fridge for days. The Titan is truly the only way to go right now for emergency solar power.
I'm at 6:20 in and I pause the video before you do the "1500w" test. You haven't even started the timer and the power meter is already at 4 bars out of 6. Need this explained brother, otherwise, it looks like false info, but I doubt you would do that. So please clarify.
I know of a dozen friends that have bought from 4Patriots and have zero complaints, all have bought the extra 12 volt battery and all came with lots of extras, well outperming most other and getting extra equipment and goods added, solar cooker kettle, solar flashlight, radio, food, power greens, couldn't find anything in comparison!!!
yeah I don't get this dude at all.....I have the mini patriot pack and the 1800 and have zero complaints...works great....this dude is very picky and keeps you people coming back to his channel
My Patriot 1500 is four years old and the battery is toast. Will not hold a charge will not even charge up. Does anyone know a replacement battery that is better that’ll fit in this unit?
I'm glad I found your video I almost waisted my money buying one of their crappy units, this company should be run out of business for trying to sell cheap Chinese junk.
There should be a class action law suit brought up against this co. Everybody that bought one of these junk units, should have the option to have their money returned. They completely mislead the buying public.
How long do the panels last/needs to be replaced? What happens when they block out the sun completely? Are the panels rechargeable for a certain amount of time? Can the panels be recharged through a window pane?
The cells of the panel easily last 20+ years. You can charge through a window pane, but don't, you'll lose at least 50% of the production. Just put them outside and run the cables through the door jam so the panel can make the most amount of energy possible.
This was my second choice and once again you saved me from making a big mistake, is there any solar generator that doesn’t take a masters degree to work it?
The reason you can't use the full capacity of the battery it most likely is a lithium chemistry battery. They really don't like to be ran until they're completely drained. In fact if you do that you probably won't ever get it to charge again.
I have a 4patriot 1500 it stop working in ask 4patriot if there is a service local here in south Florida they say no an told me the 4patriot is discontinue so they can't repair it is broke it down and too the battery out my question to you do I have to use a cooling fan with the battery
Just these. Most LiFePo4 batteries hold charges very well. This one doesn't work well because there is technically a draw being pulled off of the batteries even when turned off and therefore it slowly drains it.
@@poweredportablesolar45I really appreciate your answer. thank you for response. I didn't purchase that junk :) the comments and your reply told me everything I needed to know lolol.
I'm here after viewing one of their ridiculous ads. It would be interesting to see the internals of that unit, to get a view of its internal build quality. The unit is supposed to have a cooling fan which might not be working properly. If it is then the unit is probably under-engineered. It might be capable of their 1500 watt claim, but not for an extended amount of time.
Good video But I would never buy one. Friend of mine has one. We ended up shooting it with a shotgun. What a piece of crap. It never worked right from day one. Sorry to be negative.
Wow 2500 for a boat anchor , I always thought there was something wrong with these the marketing was a huge turn off for me. It should be called patronize generator not patriot.
I have a 1500 and a goal zero. The patriot at least sent everything to hook up and run but the goal zero is land fill fodder and a TOTAL waste of time and money. Their customer service has zero clue to help someone who doesn’t have your knowledge and it took me multiple purchases of their crap just to get enough cord attachments to connect the absolutely crappy panels to the land fill generator. The patriot has been fine for me for three years so far. The goal zero is absolutely worthless!!! I wasted roughly 1500 dollars on it. Will trade for Titan!!!! I’ll pay cash difference
Thank you for taking the time to post this Ben. I too found this company when I first started looking into solar storage all in one solutions several years ago. I found the specs lacking in almost all categories and immediately dismissed them. Another turn off is when a company offers to finance a purchase like this. Life changing advice here folks... DON’T FINANCE! Save your money until you can afford something. Doing your research while you save your money is a great way to maximize your investment dollar and avoid impulse purchases. End rant.
Great advice.
They are offering free shipping, survival food?, plus lil nonsense items. They must be desperate to try and shovel this waste onto other people. Don’t know why CZcams is advertising this scam company.
1/3 off the world population starving may reach 2/3. Dump ocean water into dry rivers with ocean fish, have an ocean river, desal at farms, steam distiller St the kitchen sink, disinfected and salt free
Collect America's lawn mower clippings for more cattle, new jobs. Instead we export corn and beef and have a storage and import meat from other countries
Don't eat people, if it's time for cabalism as some are saying it's time for mass suicides, and don't eat them, no, you may not be a zombie. Stop eating people, plant cows eat chicken
They tried to make viruses to eliminate half the world, they are unsuccessful, 65 percent of the world would say thanks for a synthetic opioid euthanasia drink by the 10,000 gallon vat, I could have done agenda 21 better 8 years ago
Soon your cities will be without water, unless you hire people for US currency which costs the same to print as unemployment without a future and pump desalinated water from the ocean into river systems
we're not being drawn to the sun,
There's two black holes on the surface, whatever was gravitationally drawn to the core went there, and the overall gravity of the sun increased but it got hotter but we're moving away and angry solar flares and CMEs are coming after us for leaving.
Heat pushes clouds causing flooding on other parts of this planet while coronal mass ejection and solar flares from magnetic connections from the sun to the earth are increasing. One day maybe it will arc weld this iron ball if we don't cross elliptical orbit line with the moon. Tell NASA about the moon and a year and a half later they make Moonfall. They should make a euthanasia for everyone who wants to go, or be stuck to endure the future even if you don't want to be here at all???
With the moon it'd be a tsunami one way and a volcano the other, the future of our relationship with the sun is a different issue
However,
65 percent of the planet would take a synthetic opioid drink by the 10,000 gallon vat and say thanks,
1/3 off the world is starving to death, 5 percent need bones they can't or don't want to get replaced, 5 percent need organs they can't or don't want to get replaced, 5 percent are terminally ill 5 percent chronic pain, 5-10 percent never wanted to be here anyway, and everyone else will have a peaceful way to go when they want. There's no good way to go, some are 18 and 0 and going through death and not actually dying is not fun, some attempts are violent to go through. Instead of making a euthanasia available to everyone who wants to go they kill .08 percent of the world population in two years. Everyone was the target. I would have helped the 65 percent go 8 yrs ago.
They're needs to be a peaceful easy way for everyone when they want to go. Guy saves 1M in state aid, paid 600k in social security, doesn't have to die every day, just gets to leave before suffering. The guy with the kids gets 800 k from Uncle Sam in life insurance he never signed up for and Uncle Sam keeps the other 800k. Free euthanasia. Cut inflation by more than half, more than doubled available resources. Have a job by a company which pays all the taxes and picks up grass clippings M-S to take it to fields now with cows on it, 4x your US cattle with lawn mower clippings from every years, save 2500 on property taxes and make sure your clippings are out in your neighborhood on Tuesdays
Pump desalinated water from ocean wave current into river systems ASAP. It costs the same to print unemployment and section 8 as it fits a job with a paycheck that won't even take your house away
Here's your check if you love your neighbors and don't want to leave your free housing, and here's your bigger check if you want to rent on the private market
More confusing paint all the taxes making useful cool jobs, your paper actually goes somewhere and a quarter turns back into a dollar
Dig out 10 ' of river bed and cast and set two 10' pipelines to being Atlantic ocean water to every house, use steam distiller for salt free disinfected water at the kitchen sink, dump waste water into sealed pipelines. It took a turn 2 years to dig out 10' of riverbed, everyone could be back to work working in every town and we'd be at with new infrastructure. Don't put salt in your water, have more salt for more roads in the winter.
Send salt water straight to homes, they'll use a distiller for their few gallons of driving and cooking water and they're off toilet to tap loop. Use electrolysis for energy from salt water. At the very least, feed rivers with desal water immediately to quickly overcome drought shortages, no problem
Make a grass and corn crop that grows in ocean water hybrid with say, oceanic grass root structures, best genetic corn crop growing in salt water in Texas and Arizona while you solar desalinate more oxygen and hydrogen into the air in a 24/7/365 grow season with ocean water and no weeds growing in salt water crops or lawns, fill your swimming pool with ocean water and water your lawn with salt water, don't put salt in your what salt water put it in the roads, use a small steam distiller made of glass and stainless to get disinfected and salt water free water for cooking and drinking, maybe an ocean let for your pool, were have to deal with ocean water rise, how about a Dolphin?
Make more indoor fish farms, clean fish into a flash freezer, people eat fish, kid makes 90 k a year running fishing equipment not $9 an hour people eat well
People could be cremated visible to the public and the smoke can be required in a gallon of water and the ashes and cement combined and people can be made into a concrete cast or flower pot. Otherwise, if they get cremated, without a filter, or dissolved in alkyld they go down a drain?
And they had that place giving fake ashes and selling bodies
Maybe you could make a wireless Tesla bridge (like when you touch a Tesla ball and the current comes towards you, though you are in the millivolts) to draw CMEs from to sub to say, Mars, maybe you'll stop the earth from frying
I completely agree.
Especially financing anything.
Even the Bible says not to finance anything if you can avoid it. Of course most people have to finance homes and cars but pay it off faster!!!
Well said
Funny thing is,those where what made me aware of the solar generator market. I was so blown away by the idea.Luckily I took the time to check out the market.Next was the Natures Generator.Again I was like WOW I've got to get 1. I was so nieve at 1st lol. I of course kept on researching and that's when I found Ben's channel and his list of best generators. After realizing that there was the Titan which was by far the best...the rest is history. Titan with 2 BATTERIES and a Ecoflow Delta are now in my inventory. Thanks Ben for your help and for saving me from buying and regretting greatly!
Always happy to help =)
What is the best things about the titan? Thank you for sharing your situation for us to learn from !
Who makes them & what makes your set up superlative :0 thanks again
I was considering buying that generator but Thank God I saw your honest review, thank you so much love your channel!
I'm glad it helped.
I recently bought the 4P 1500. So far, it's been fine...good even. Mine had been bought and rarely, if ever, used. It came with everything, too. Solar panels included. But I paid $650. I can't imagine paying $2400 or $2500 for this.
Very interesting and informative video.
I just received my Patriot Sidekick yesterday. Watched a CZcams video about it. Comes half charged, I finished charging by wall outlet. Today after watching your video I tried it. Trick: it doesn’t turn on with one push of the button, took couple times. Plugged in 2 large fans, both working just fine. Display panel doesn’t stay lit, but that isn’t an issue for me. I’ll leave it running for a few hours to see what happens. Bought it in case of hurricanes, we always lose our power. Need a way to cool off in Florida summer heat.
thanks for sharing.
I got one of these from my dad when he passed. I was hoping it could run a freezer for a couple hours a day this doesn’t give me much comfort knowing how much he paid for it.
I bought a 4patriots 1500 three years ago. Fully charged it. It's still fully charged after 3 years. I plugged a couple appliances just recently and it works beautifully. No problems at all.
Thanks Victoria for your actual user opinion. It is so obvious by this guys review that he has a defective unit, but no he, from the get go, hates the product and beats it to death. He totally ignores all the signs of a defective unit and assumes all units are crap. Honest reviewer? No!
I purchased the 1800 model and an extra set of panels. Played around with it for a couple months, was pleased, fully charged, and packed away. We just moved and while moving I realized it had been way over a year since I charged it. Took it out and found it had only dropped one bar. One bar down, I then plugged up to a 12 volt portable ice chest, and ran chest at 25 degrees for 6 days straight and still had 3 bars. Took about 3 hours to recharge. Real user results, not someone with a defective unit.
Lastly, my brother just returned his second Titan in 3 months. Titans suck, no of course not both were manufacturing defects, it happens
@@johnthomas9317 Thank you. Your comment was helpful. I will definitely buy a Patriot solar .
How much was it ?
I've had mine for 1.5 years. I charged it fully before Hurricane Ida. It was an epic fail. It barely made it through the night w just a fan , and forget a frig as advertised. Epic fail in the midst of a real natural disaster!
A company buys a lousy product, and then rebrands it. Then they spend everything on marketing.
Thank you for your review! I’ve always had suspicions about this brand ! It seems the longer the commercial about a product the cheaper the product!!
Now I know why they have the comments turned off on their video.
I bought the $500 package to power my CPAP. I have only used my little generator twice to check/test and I haven’t had any problems. Now I’m doing research for moving into living in a RV or a van. I’m so glad I found you as I was looking at the 1800 system. I will be going to your website for sure now. Many thanks with gratitude.
Their "Sidekick" is simply the 200 dollar Golabs r300. This company makes me furious for doing this to people. You can buy the Golabs AND a real 100 watt solar panel for no more than 300 dollars. Plus you can buy a Bluetti EB70 with a 700 watt inverter that has over twice the battery size for 500.
Don't bother with the 1800. I have one and it's junk! Doesn't power my oxygen concentrator for more than an hr.
@@loreanna67 thanks for the heads up
@@baneverything5580 thanks, I bought a long time ago and have since realized this
I came across the 4P's generator over a yr ago and initially had to have it until I learned more about the product. I'm so happy I didn't jump on it then. I ordered my Titan 1000 from you Will last month and can't wait to get it.
That's great! Thank you so much for your support. You will love your Titan.
I have the Patriot 1500 and it has never discharged when not in use . I check it every few weeks and it always show a full charge. I think if the battery is not holding a charge when the machine is off, there might be something causing the drain that might be in need of fixing. I checked my battery level today and it shows full charge. Also the battery meter in mine is different than on yours. The gauge runs vertically and is much larger.It also gives me the power level of the battery in numbers.
Just ONE more thing.. Thanks for posting. A good friend wanted to purchase a solar "Generator" per se..LoL. When he said, "hey how about this one" I did a "Fred Sanford" and grabbed my chest and said, "Oh Lawd no!". As a Patriot and Cold War Veteran, I'm embarrassed that they will fear monger you into getting into 2500 plus dollars in debt, and not even have the common courtesy of letting this wannabe be examined by professionals. My advice, avoid like the 1971 Ford Pinto.., or first generation DC-10!
😂😂😂😂…thank you for your service!
Thanks for this great info! Hopefully 4Patriots will use this review to improve their product until it's worthy of their company name. When I first saw the price (for the 1800) I got sticker shock! I MIGHT have bought it without doing much research if it were half that price, but I couldn't justify >$2k to my budget without doing some research. Thanks for this great, honest review. I'm going to subscribe to support you and check out your other videos so I can find the most bang for my budget!
I'm very glad it helped. Thanks for subbing.
They charge over 500 dollars for a 200 dollar Golabs r300 power station and a 40 watt solar panel. Anyone counting on this combo for medical reasons will quickly die. This company is taking advantage of elderly Conservatives. 100% evil. I saw a video of their staff. Bunch of evil leftists.
I bought the 1800 & have not had to use it. We are facing a storm, so I took it out to check the charge and it is fully charged. It's been sitting around power off for months. If I had heard this & other reviews I probably would have bought a different one for $ value.
Yeah you got ripped off. Ecoflow or Bluetti is the way to go.
Thank you Ben for another great honest video. I too am so glad I found your channel and learned what not to buy as well as what to buy and why. You made it all possible. I am so happy to be a Titan owner.
Happy to help! Glad you love the Titan. I love mine too haha.
I have never heard of this product or seen it advertised since I don't do social media and have adblockers...I feel sorry for people suckered into buying this PO$! Thank you for taking your time to save people from wasting money!
Happy to help.
I have seen tons of advertising on Instagram and as a Veteran was drawn to name and patriotic emblem, but luckily I watch your reviews and Will Prowse and will not buy anything you two don't recommend. Where are they based? Thank you for you educational and experienced reviews. I will buy a Titan when I can save enough, doesn't hurt to look LoL
Good to know! Be sure to get it from poweredportablesolar.com/
Will Prowse turned me into a Lithium addict. I should be out drinking and carousing, but nooooo. I'm in the shop at 3AM top balancing some 280 amp hour Lishen batteries.
I would rather buy a big mac burger.
Made in China
China. The irony 🤣
I was considering buying an 1800 but I'm glad i listened to your video instead of wasting my time and money. thanks, my brotha!
I'm glad it helped =)
Thank you for saving me from making a bad purchase. Switching my plans and will go with the Titan instead!
No problem! Make sure to get your Titan from poweredportablesolar.com/
I just got the oupes 1800. Had a lot of good reviews and had a lot of good features for the price
I just got two of them Amazon warehouse inventory. Ready $42 each less than " $100" 😮 for two. They are in America. Now with a full warranty. & 18 month return. I will take that all day long. Have a happy 4th
Thank you, I bought their mini Solar batteries for cell, iPad phone chargers and was disappointed. Glad I found your review.
just some info. Voltage and current are inversely proportional, meaning that when one goes up the other goes down. As that battery discharges the voltage will drop. This will cause the current to go up. If the battery does not have available capacity (current) the voltage will drop even further, aka "dead battery". The increase in amperage causes heat in the battery and in the inverter circuitry. Also the display graphics represent a range for each bar. If the display has four bars then one bar means remaining charge is between 0 and 25%. Four bars represent 75% to 100%. So at four bars the charge is somewhere above 75% and still charging while the graphic is animated.
100 watts at 12.5vdc is 8 amps! While 100 watts at 110 vac is only 0.9 amps. This is why dc systems get hot.
Thank you for an honest and thorough review. I'm a beginner just learning, not knowledgeable, so it helps a lot to watch a good video about this. Good luck and wish you a happy 4th.
LOL! Thanks! During your review, guess who the ad sponsor was?! 4Patriots! So they're just trying to talk over you!
Thank you for an honest review of the Patriot 1500. I was seriously considering of buying one after their TV ads.
What do think is the best product similar to this that could support:
1 Refrigerator
1 Air Conditioner
8 Light Bulbs
2 Electric Fans
2 Televisions
And also what do think of Plasma Electro Generator.
Thank you again and hoping for your response! Kind regards!
🤣 LOL! Patriot was advertising while you were pointing out to everyone what a poor product this is. I also recommend Hobotechs review, it's hilarious.
Another observation with the 1500 is that when the solar wattage is low, like 15watts or so, the unit ALWAYS runs the fan, and the fan itself is probably consuming most of that 15. I'm tempted to cut the wire to the fan and add a switch so that I can turn off the fan. Maybe they were thinking it "might get hot" ... so they always run it ... rather than running it only when its hot.
I can see why 4patriot keeps all their youtube comments OFF! Any business that cuts off comments, always a red flag. As usual, it's a spot on correct indicator of how shitty their products are.
Loved your review so much I am subscribing. Thank you for spending your own money and providing such a thorough review. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!
Me too!!!
Thanks, I was on the fence. Definitely not getting one now.
You're welcome
Just make your own...2000 watt pure sine wave inverter $300...100watt solar panel $120 ...charger regulator $20 (all at Harbor Freight)
Deep cycle battery $125 for a 55 hours @ 20AMP. Duracell..Sam's club...Total $565
Finally a honest review thank you
I purchased the 4Patriots mini, along with 100 watt pannels fron off-trek, and an extra 12 volt battery from Renolgy, and I've had absolutely zero problems, the generator has lithium ion phosphate battery, the extra 12 volt battery same,
They are a Jlab. You could have gotten the same device for half the price. I know. I made the same mistake,and returned it.
Yeah you got ripped off. A lot better ones out there.
The mini is just a rebadged GoLabs R300. It’s actually a very decent station for its small capacity, but Patriots charges almost double.
I just recently bought the Bluetti EB240 Solar Generator [Quad Kit] 2400Wh Generator + 4 x 100W Solar Panels kit for 1200 dollars and love it!~!!!!!!!!!!!! I also purchase food from 4 patriots but with even my little knowledge of solar gens, theirs did not sound right. Thank you for the great review.
GARBAGE according to Will P.
glad i came across this video, i will look at what you prefer in your other videos ty!
I'm glad it helped. Depending on what you need, I recommend the EcoFlow Delta Max as the basic unit, and the Titan the best unit. Both can be found at PoweredPortableSolar.com
@@minutemanprep im making a complete bug out shelter, i need it for small appliances, communications and thats about it. i had looked at the well advertised patriot and had my eyes set on that, after seeing the reviews on your other videos it is clear i don't want it anymore. Appreciate the video! i don't really have a budget im working with so i just honestly want the best even if its overkill
@@indianacreekwalker4474 Then you need a Titan for sure. That's what I have and it has worked flawlessly for over 2 years. poweredportablesolar.com/
Thanks for your honesty. Some if us....like me, rely on what you say. Hence the reason I just bought a Titan. Keep up the good work and being candid.
Happy to help!
Thanks buddy. The truth hurts sometimes.
Indeed it does
Fun…I was watching your review and a 20 min advertisement for the Patriot solar generator just came on halfway thru. 😂
Thanks for the review which I definitely agree! The 1500 is way overpriced for it's dismal performance. I got two of these from my uncle and I'm so glad I didn't pay for it.
Thank you for your review! I'm looking for a good solar gen and wanted more info, this helped a lot!
Great info, thanks! I learn so much from you.
Glad to hear it!
Its not being mean, just telling the truth which what I imagine the majority want
I have one of the first 1500. I have not used it but I top mine off with electric every other month. My unit holds a charge for 8 weeks. I think you have a lemon.
Enjoy your right-wing grift box
My thought exactly. I own a 4 Patriot generator and I have charged it with no problem. I also use it. And the food is ok nothing bad yet. Mine is a newer model then what he shows. I believe he has charged it to many times to make his videos , and all that pulling on wires and plugging in and out has to ware a unit out.
@@bettymartin2361 yeah that'll happen when you use cheap parts from china
Not to mention he sells Titans. Hmmmm? Of course he is going to bash his competition.
I've had ours for couple years always held charge till used ran tv and fridge
I appreciate this review.I am starting to hunt one.But not this one now.
Thx for the heads up and the testing, showing and comparison...a need to know info 👌 👍👍
Thank you for doing this. You just save me a lot of money. I was thinking of buying this. I don't like headaches.
I purchased a 4 pack of their solar cell chargers. The one i test fired , did very poor job , in fact one time I was messing around with it , had my phone plugged up, it almost looked like the charging device was draining what little battery charge my phone had. I never got it charge phone above 45%. I also have some of their survival food, haven't tried it , I'm skeptical about their products.
I just got the small portable sidekick, fully charged it up, tried to plug in a few small divises and NOTHING worked! I called customer service they wanted to send me to tech trouble shooting...I did not want the hassel so I'm sending it back. It wouldn't even charge my cell phone.
I spent about 5 minutes researching their stuff and it became apparent VERY quickly that they are all about marketing...but their stuff is crap. Also, they were extremely expensive for what they were selling.
Exactly.
Well met brother.
This was a great video, that answer so many questions.
Hi, I need helps with recommendations for solar generator. Emergency needs during power outage in the Pacific NW, rains constantly and snow. Which means I need waterproof, Weatherproof solar panels. Capable of running refrigerator and small heater during cold season. Windows AC during hot season. Also able to take along to road trips to power up portable freezer. Please help. I don't know any of these stuff. Quite generator would be a plus. Thank you ✌
I'm happy to help. First off I'll say that running any kind of electric heat is basically not possible long term. Even a small electric heater on low will typically use 700w to run. That is the equivalent of about 7 refrigerators all running at once. For backup heat I recommend either of these: Mr Buddy Heater 9,000 BTU: amzn.to/2pkbTYq
or the Mr Buddy Heater 18,000 BTU: amzn.to/34XMMK4 and get these to go with it: Mr Buddy Heater Large Tank Filter: amzn.to/2pDKFfx
and a Propane Hose to Small Thread: amzn.to/2KiU6b7. You can use this setup to run a propane heater from a 20lb/5gal propane tank which can be swapped out or refilled even during blackouts pretty easily. Plus propane doesn't go bad so you never need to worry about it in storage, it'll just be ready when you need it most.
As far as a solar generator goes for running a fridge then being able to run a window AC during the summer, you'll want a Titan solar generator for sure. Simply because in order to run a window A/C unit and be able to recharge the battery so you can still run the fridge all night you'll need a lot of solar input. I would recommend the Titan 1000 Rigid kit here: poweredportablesolar.com/product/titan-1000-rigid-kit/ If you're able to get an extra battery and more panels then all the better but if not, this kit should do pretty well. The panels are also 100% snow, rain and water proof.
@@minutemanprep thank you so much @Minute Man Prep
Go test the Leoch Will - that's NOT junk and has Phosphate chemistry. and it's like $800!
czcams.com/video/Kcx7eSaKF8I/video.html
What I don't get is why are any of these are called a generator? If it wasn't for the solar panel it would just be a battery.... The unit itself doesn't do anything except for be a battery back up 🤔
LOL, you had a 4patriots ad!
Just bought the 1800 with solar panels on a Fb deal for $44.95 must have been a clearance for black friday...I know it's not the best but that cheap I couldn't resist it
Bought the same package. Waiting to recieve it. Couldnt resist either
Did you actually receive one for that price or did you get scammed?
THANKS FOR THE INFO.,,
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
I recall someone saying that the Beaudens 166 which is Lifepo4....had an inaccurate battery meter because they probably used something that was designed for Li Ion....which now that I think about it....someone else mentioned that Lifepo drops off heavy around the last 20 percent so I wonder if thats whats happening.....the voltage is just shot.
Ya I couldn't get any good readout on the screen with the battery.
Greetingns from Boaco, Nicaragua i'm soooooo glad i watched your review as i almost bought this thing, very thourough review, like the testing part, we get lots of sun here but the overheating will definately be a problem. thanks greta job will watch your titan review now. #FREE MONS. ROLANDO ALVAREZ. #LEY RENACER YA!!!
I'm glad you liked the video and it was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions and we can get you a system suited for your needs. info@poweredportablesolar.com
Have you had a chance to review the Patriot 2000X to see if they have made any advances
No. I wouldn't trust this company for anything. They are 100% profit focused, not helping people.
THANK YOU for confirming my opinion of tjis company. They are a pack of thieves in my opinion.
I can't speak for the company, I have heard good things about their food but this unit for sure is a "no go"
What one would be good if I was needing to run an AC unit which solder unit would you recommend I live in Tucson Arizona and I'm doing car living so I'm trying to figure out what I need to do
Great question. It turly depends on some factors. Shoot me an email to info@poweredportablesolar.com and we can figure that out.
Was thinking about buying this cause of the YT advertising and all the freebies you get with the unit lol
Yikes, that's definitely a no-go unit. But I am more than happy to help you find a unit that will fit your needs. Please reach out to me at info@poweredportblesolar.com and I can help with that.
I was curious about how long the supplied solar panels would take to charge the "generator" -- a device that is otherwise not solar nor a generator (it's just a battery and inverter, after all, generating no electricity on it's own) -- but I could not find any reference what-so-ever in the ridiculously repetitive and prolonged sales screed. It's important for prolonged outages for knowing the likely hours it takes to recharge it so you know how much more solar panel or wind generation output to buy. You'd need two units, minimum: one to be charging and one to power your appliances (but don't even THINK about powering HVAC) as suggested is practical. 770Wh isn't all that much storage capacity for the buck, really. For example, a Generac whole house battery is roughly $1400/1000Wh, installed where this thing is roughly two and a half times as expensive. To replace my whole house battery with these would cost $100,000.
Sucks that you need a watt meter to see the mppt charging watts. The solar generator itself should display that info like Ecoflow does
The food supply is good the cell chargers good nothing bad to say.
The review of the device was honest
Thanks.
4Patriot focuses much of its marketing on the conservative market. Hence the use of Patriot in the name.
The Company advertises more often than not through conservative cable channels from what I understand.
To drive that point further, the owner's manual for this power station is in English only.
The demographic this is mainly marketed to, especially in the early days, are to those who don't want to see other languages or any references to China in the manual.
can someone please please tell me the price of the of the generator for god sakes no one could ever give me a price I've looked everywhere I called the 1-800 number and it's a whole big run around just wondering how much and I like your commentary it's great we need more people like you to tell the truth about things just so we know especially with the generator the ads all these people's ads with tools and everything they never they leave out things
$2500
Lol. I'm looking at your review and the Patriots ad pops up.
Looks like they put in a "Give My Position Away" beeper for ya! 🤔
I am glad I watched it. Thank you!
I am thinking on getting the Jackery 1800 watt. I didn't know about the Titan Solar generators.
I have a review coming out on the Jackery 1500 (1800w inverter) soon. It's already scheduled here on the channel. I'm selling mine haha. It has a hard time servnig a purpose. It's too large for simple things like laptops, drones, cameras and other small devices. And too small for an emergency like running a fridge for days. The Titan is truly the only way to go right now for emergency solar power.
Im just trying to run my fridge if the power goes out... what brand would you suggest?
I would get the Delta Max: poweredportablesolar.com/product/ecoflow-delta-max/
@@minutemanprep appreciated
@@minutemanprep delta max is the brand.. 18000w or higher is needed do you think ?
@@slewcharles926 Delta Max is the model as seen in the link I sent you. 1800w is plenty for just running a fridge.
I'm at 6:20 in and I pause the video before you do the "1500w" test. You haven't even started the timer and the power meter is already at 4 bars out of 6. Need this explained brother, otherwise, it looks like false info, but I doubt you would do that. So please clarify.
I know of a dozen friends that have bought from 4Patriots and have zero complaints, all have bought the extra 12 volt battery and all came with lots of extras, well outperming most other and getting extra equipment and goods added, solar cooker kettle, solar flashlight, radio, food, power greens, couldn't find anything in comparison!!!
yeah I don't get this dude at all.....I have the mini patriot pack and the 1800 and have zero complaints...works great....this dude is very picky and keeps you people coming back to his channel
My Patriot 1500 is four years old and the battery is toast. Will not hold a charge will not even charge up. Does anyone know a replacement battery that is better that’ll fit in this unit?
I'm glad I found your video I almost waisted my money buying one of their crappy units, this company should be run out of business for trying to sell cheap Chinese junk.
For real, all of their stuff is garbage. My top rated units are on my site poweredportablesolar.com/
There should be a class action law suit brought up against this co. Everybody that bought one of these junk units, should have the option to have their money returned. They completely mislead the buying public.
Thanks for the information. Be safe.
Thanks for being honest,
14:06 I really wish they would learn how Phosphate works. I can run my 200ah pack down at 200A and then charge it right back up again!
How long do the panels last/needs to be replaced? What happens when they block out the sun completely? Are the panels rechargeable for a certain amount of time? Can the panels be recharged through a window pane?
The cells of the panel easily last 20+ years. You can charge through a window pane, but don't, you'll lose at least 50% of the production. Just put them outside and run the cables through the door jam so the panel can make the most amount of energy possible.
This was my second choice and once again you saved me from making a big mistake, is there any solar generator that doesn’t take a masters degree to work it?
It all just depends on what you want to run. What are you looking to run and when? During an emergency, RVing, camping etc...?
The reason you can't use the full capacity of the battery it most likely is a lithium chemistry battery. They really don't like to be ran until they're completely drained. In fact if you do that you probably won't ever get it to charge again.
I have a 4patriot 1500 it stop working in ask 4patriot if there is a service local here in south Florida they say no an told me the 4patriot is discontinue so they can't repair it is broke it down and too the battery out my question to you do I have to use a cooling fan with the battery
I saw the youtube commercial with the Patriot owner? in the rain, pitching the 'buy now' 'buy now. It's scummy. I need a shower.
It was shown during this video!!!!🤡
Thanks for the info
Then what’s the best solar generator
Hands down and proven is the Titan: poweredportablesolar.com/shop/
@ 5:17 ... ALL LiFePo4 batteries don't hold charge well? or just these specific ones being reviewed? I really appreciated this video... thanks
Just these. Most LiFePo4 batteries hold charges very well. This one doesn't work well because there is technically a draw being pulled off of the batteries even when turned off and therefore it slowly drains it.
Thank you so much!!!!
Did you mention where this Poop Heap is Manufactured? The Audio, in this Video = #2 Poop Heap.
You know what the beeping is. 500 watts/hr battery draining at 700 would go for about 40/45 min.
I found one for 350 1800 should I purchase? huge discount just need to cover about 600 sq ft
I personally would still not purchase it.
@@poweredportablesolar45I really appreciate your answer. thank you for response. I didn't purchase that junk :) the comments and your reply told me everything I needed to know lolol.
I'm here after viewing one of their ridiculous ads. It would be interesting to see the internals of that unit, to get a view of its internal build quality. The unit is supposed to have a cooling fan which might not be working properly. If it is then the unit is probably under-engineered. It might be capable of their 1500 watt claim, but not for an extended amount of time.
Good video But I would never buy one. Friend of mine has one. We ended up shooting it with a shotgun. What a piece of crap. It never worked right from day one. Sorry to be negative.
Holy cow! Shooting it must've been fun.
@@minutemanprep he seemed to have enjoyed it. He was really up set with it not working right everytime he went to use it.
Mine didn"t work either.
Wow 2500 for a boat anchor , I always thought there was something wrong with these the marketing was a huge turn off for me. It should be called patronize generator not patriot.
yes it's quite expensive for what you get.
Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha!!
I have a 1500 and a goal zero. The patriot at least sent everything to hook up and run but the goal zero is land fill fodder and a TOTAL waste of time and money. Their customer service has zero clue to help someone who doesn’t have your knowledge and it took me multiple purchases of their crap just to get enough cord attachments to connect the absolutely crappy panels to the land fill generator. The patriot has been fine for me for three years so far. The goal zero is absolutely worthless!!! I wasted roughly 1500 dollars on it.
Will trade for Titan!!!! I’ll pay cash difference
Yes both of them are not great. I will have my video about the GZ 1500 soon, I have had that a long time and it's not that great either.
