4Patriots Reviews

Food taste is... okay to say the least. It's bland, but anyone prepping should have spices and additives already stored up. I'm more worried about the shelf life, ease of preparation, trans-portability, caloric count and convenience than the taste. The packaging is average, but when I opened my container, I thoroughly checked each item for leaks or damage. There were 4 items that were punctured, ripped, or leaking. I reached out to 4P to see about getting those items replaced. No response yet.

I made an impulse buy. I don't want their 3 month food supply. It has not shipped yet. I've used the 24 HR live chat, called, and emailed them. They say it has to ship, then I need to send it back. What a waste of time...They have already charged my card... Again it has not shipped yet, but they refuse to cancel my order.

This outfit is just schlepping China JUNK as quality American products.

I've bought several things from them, and it is ALL junk that does not work for more than a month or so.

Trying to return it and getting messed around with...buy somewhere else.

I ordered the 72 hour emergency meals (free, just pay shipping) and all I received was a "Thank you for your order", and they took the shipping amount out of my account. They "Never" sent me an order number, or shipping information, and it has been a "Whole" month. They don't answer the telephone number, that they have available, or answer e-mails. Right now, per my experience, this 4patriots is a big scam. Check out their reviews. They are similar to my complaint. Beware.

They have -0- customer service I could reach either by phone, or email. I got a chat bot, who connected me to a moron who couldn’t verify my order with an order number & name. I’m not about to disclose more and more information they already should have from the order. It’s been over 2 weeks, now and no communication. Nothing shipped or received. HORRIBLE

Ripoff! Misleading advertising. The 1 year food package on the website says you will get 2,752 servings. When you add up the servings from the list they provide on their website you get 2,560 servings. Red flag!

Our kit contained 2,728 servings. Still 24 servings short. Also, you are supposed to get only 64 servings of pancake mix. We got 256 servings.

They do this to cover the shortage of servings. I called customer service and spoke to 3 different people that have no decision making power and got a promise a supervisor would call back.

Never got a call back. Two emails and no response. This company is ripping off Americans.

I’ve stayed on hold for so long so many times that I just give up. I’ve also tried their “chat” multiple times. I ordered the SoLanterns and received only the bonus 72 hr emergency food supply. Still waiting for my order! no one answers the phone. I have sent emails and chats with no luck at all. Very poor service.

We purchased the holy grail Labor Day Extravaganza offer and received a checklist so we could keep track of what was included in the offer and to keep track of what was received .

We did receive the 2000x generator and year's supply of emergency foods. But when I contacted 4Patriots about not receiving all the free gifts (that I only know what's included from their checklist), they tell me that's not included in this offer.

I mean c'mon, they are the ones that sent us the checklist in the first place.

Then the drip water filtration cannisters arrived without the filters...a water filtration system without the actual filters is of zero value & effectiveness. But they have sent 2 fiber filters that is supposed to fit around the actual filters, but of course we're still waiting for those filters.

I've had several conversations via text & email, but no real results yet.

First, their website tricked us into ordering two 3 months supply by not taking us directly to our first order confirmation. Then they sent us 5 emails with tracking numbers but the tracking numbers were all the same and it wasn't a good number. We received less than 1/2 our orders and can not get through to them either by phone or by email. We left a call back number to no avail. Terrible. I have submitted a dispute with our credit card company. I hope they will give us our money back. When I try to look up our orders now, 4 patriots website says no order found. What a scam and what a rip off. We are retiring soon and didn't need to waste our money like this. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!

Don’t buy into the good customer service. You can never reach a representative and they never call you back nor do they reply to your emails. I ordered the generator and the supplies that come with it but did not receive the cart or LED lights that come with it. The one time I did reach a customer service representative, they told me to expect to receive the missing items that day a week later nothing!!! Based on customer service, I would never purchase another item from this company.

4Patriots is heavily advertising a 'Solar Generator' on several outlets - which comes complete with a *free* solar panel for charging the unit. All for the all-American, 'support our troops!' bargain price of a mere $3,000!

This unit is nothing more than a Lion battery and small solar panel, combined with a small power inverter, which converts the output to 120v 60hz.

Do yourself a favor and buy a couple of the largest, best UPS units you can find, which is essentially all what the battery & inverter actually are. Keep them charged up (ie: plugged in) - and when needed, they will run all your electronics, fridges, freezers, etc. for probably just as long as this $3,000 system.

And then put the other $2,500 towards an actual multi-fuel generator. And you'll STILL have $1,500 left over.

I had to contact customer service today because the power output button would not stay green. I’ve owned the unit 18 months and used sporadically for tool charging and battery charging maintenance. While using only 300 watts, the unit would not discharge its power. Customer service advised no repairs, replacement, or anything other than a $150 discount on a new $2,500 unit. I now own a $2,000 door stop. The unit still charges, but has a bad inverter. This sucks big time. Stay far away from this company because they do not stand behind their products. Boo!!

I have read these very negative reviews and can not believe this is the same company. I have ordered from 4Patriots and recommended to all my family and friends! My first order was the regular standard food package for 3months. We tried the 72hour package and it was NOT gourmet but definitely acceptable in an emergency!!! I then needed a more health conscious food choice for me so I ordered two Plant-Based Protein Kits and a Fruit, Veggie & Snack Survival Food Kit. Then I ordered three large cans of the Black Bean Burger Mix. All ingredients were acceptable as Healthy IN AN EMERGENCY!!! They came packaged in easy to stack /labeled container's with locking lids and very sturdy! Easy to store FOR A 25 YEAR shelf life!!!

Some of the first order was wrong and a few packages came damaged due to the way it was delivered NOT the company. AND Customer service was very helpful and sent me all the damaged items with no questions or problems. Another time my charger was damaged and had no idea how it broke and even though it was a free gift for purchasing something else Customer Service replaced it easily!! Every time I have a problem or a question I always get the kindest people to talk to. My sister has had the same experience.

So I highly recommend this company...They truly are an AMERICAN company! And the employees are treated very well! Where all these negative comments are coming from makes me suspicious of the source???

Please, if you are looking for easy preparedness food ...Do not hesitate to order from Patriots!!! But not if you are interested in gourmet meals ;)

Bought a Side Kick in 2011. Didn’t use very often, but spoke to a technician recently when it wasn’t functioning correctly. He took me through several steps to check its functionality, but, ultimately, we agreed the product was defective, and the warranty was only for a year to make matters even worse. The fact that the generator is made in China, when they claim to be pro American, is very disappointing as well.

I ordered and paid for three 72 hour food kits on 3/7/23, called 4Patriots customer service and they say I don’t have an order, but they charged my credit card. This is the second time and I will never order from them again. I will file a complaint with the BBB and open a fraud case with my credit card company. So disgusted with 4Patriots. Y. Smiley

I have bought many items from 4Patriots and spoke with their customer service as well. Every item was delivered in a timely manner and when I did have a question, I would ask to talk to the manager or someone higher. Everything was handled extremely well and professionally. I didn’t eat their food yet but their solar items work better than expected. Gotta say that my husband threw out the short cakes ‘cause he didn’t like the taste. Yes, he is a professional chef and is extremely picky. He didn’t understand that it was for an emergency. What this company is trying to do to help the American people to survive is outstanding. If you don’t like what you ordered, then call them and explain. They will help you. Then, you can choose another company. You have a choice.

No one has paid me to state my facts and I am a verified customer of 4Patriots.

I ordered the 72 hour pack to try it out. So far I have tried only the oatmeal with maple. The first time it was a little bland. The second time I realized the brown sugar was a little ways down in the package. I added that with some honey (the shelf life of honey is ridiculously long) It was good. The bag has a zip lock top to reseal. I ate it over a 5 day period and it was fine. I will try the rest in the future.

Plugged in a little bathroom heater and within 15 minutes the power bar dropped from full charge down to one bar. Very disappointed!! Glad I have a Mr Buddy ( Big Buddy) heater on standby.

I would only eat this in an absolute emergency, and it would have to be a pretty dire situation where I was starving. The 2 items I tried, were some of the worst, most flavorless food I’ve ever encountered. I tried the Mac and cheese, and the Alfredo. The Alfredo was like eating noodles swimming in low fat milk. Zero, I mean zero flavor! And the Mac and cheese, well that was so much worse than regular old boxed Mac and cheese. Zero cheese flavor. How do you manage to screw up and make something worse than boxed Mac and cheese??! I don’t know, but 4Patriots managed to do just that. If you love the taste of cardboard, this product might be perfect for you. But I would recommend you take your money elsewhere.
