Here is the answer and a 4Patriots solar generator 1800 review! Join me today for a 4Patriots 1800 solar generator 1800 real world test on just how long it will actually power a refrigerator/freezer combination unit. Down here in very rural Southern Illinois we lose power a lot due to downed trees and ice storms. Purchasing a solar generator like this and a 4Patriots emergency food supply kit will give you peace of mind during a power outage, and if you add a solar panel kit it can help you overcome a longer term power outage.

I've done this test at my home with a similar size refrigerator. My 1.5Kw hour Jackery lasted a lot longer than the Patriot (48hrs). What this tells me is to really look at the efficiency rate of the solar generator you purchase.

4 Patriot solar generator is the absolute worst dollar to watt hour choice. They take advantage of elderly and less informed consumers. PLEASE, shop around. A person can buy 4-5 other units for the same price and increase your storage and run time exponentially.

If 4Patriots had a quality product and wanted the world to know about that they would send it to reputable YouTubers to review who had also reviewed other solar generators, like EcoFlow, Bluetti, Jackery, etc and so comparisons can be done between the offerings. But 4Patriots REFUSES to do so which is ALL you need to know about them.

Thanks Joe, I keep seeing the ads for this solar generator. The fridge is the only thing that concerns me. So this test was spot on for us. We have a Jackery 240 that runs our mini fridge for camping 11 hours at 70 degrees. I charge it with solar or house power. Something is better than nothing these days.

I live in S Florida and after going through several hurricanes (including Ian) over the years, I’ve pretty much decided on purchasing a solar generator. The fridge would likely be my number one appliance to keep running. I would definitely want a pass through model, so I can use a solar panel to recharge while drawing down the battery.

The key to this real life test is all the carefully modeled openings for drinks etc... Very realistic test! :):)

Thank you for this video and your effort in sharing this with us!

Cool, I'm glad my mother was the one who spent the money on this unit

[LaurieSudbrink]

thanks for this video, haven’t used mine yet. I think I’m gonna get to test my 4 patriots generator, hurricane Helene headed for north Florida and beyond!

I have a freezer I need it for, so how do I know if this 1800 generator will accommodate the freezer I have

[tomsawyer]

Isn't the theory of only needing to run the fridge / freezer only ten minutes an hour debunked by the fact the fridge/freezer unit will only run as needed. Their should be no power usage by the unit until it is needed. This generator can extend the content life of whats inside the fridge/freezer by keeping the doors closed and running every couple of hours but the fact is a btu is a btu is a btu. You can't expect to go in and out of the fridge getting drinks and only run this for 10 minutes and hour and get days of use out of the charge.

I'm in Florida, hurricanes seem to come late at night I need something to run the frig until the morning than put the solar panels out for recharge since the storm has passed, I also need one to keep my internet up so I can see what is happening while the power goes out at night to keep up what is happening with the storm.

I'm in the process of sending mine back. It was charged when I got it. It worked for the 3 minutes I tested it. Put it back up the way I received it and the other day did a simulation power failure. Pulled it out, turned it on and it showed full power. Turned on the outlets, plugged in a small device, turned on the device and the bars on the generator battery went straight to zero and it shut down. NOT reliable to be ready when you need it. I plugged it back in to charge it and it never took another charge. If you got one, understand, it just may not work when you NEED it. Good luck.

The trick is to have a high quality cooler a light up she needs to grab out of the refrigerator quickly. Some of these refrigerators are so well insulated they'll keep food good for greater than 5 to 6 hours

[michaelpelham]

You are a very thoughtful man. Great video.

[clarkwheeler]

Try hooking the one you have up to a 110v air compressor and a electric circular saw and see if it powers them up and how long it lasts?? (It may take one with 2500 watts) Heck you might want to bring it out in the woods to use power tools and air compressors to build a deer tower.

[arianpierce]

Can you do a test with solar units hooked up?
How long would this work for?

[chadbrooker]

Eco flow jackery they sell a cheaper and bigger battery then 4 patriots. But in the end that's who I would buy from if I was spending 2k to 3k on a solar system

[michaelbest]

How long does it take for the Generator to become fully charged by solar energy only? Days, weeks, months?

[ghostshadow]

I paid $450 for a gas 2kw inverter generator, it runs 9 hours over 50% load on less than 1 gallon and over 12 hours if load is under 50% sound is 41db so not very loud only takes a minuet or 2 to refill not dependant on sunlight or wall AC power, it will run a 1, 500 watt electric heater and refrigerator and a TV with a couple LED lights all night, when it runs out of fuel refill it and good to go for another 9 to 12 hours.
I have a Northern Lights Diesel 15kw for full house power if power is out for more than a day or 2.
