California Air Tools CAT-4610S Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free 1.0 hp 4.6 gallon Steel Twin Tank Electric Portable Air Compressor, Silver

Significantly quieter than most other compressors but still not silent. I put a moving blanket over it and that made it even quieter. Works very well.

Its a good quiet compressor but extremely heavy and the rubber handle came off the 2nd day and air filter off from vibration but still happy with it.

I used to have pancake compressor for snuba off my dock. Hated to use it because of the noise it produced. The only good thing a pancake compressors does is let you know its recharging the tank from the racket it made. This one is dead quiet so doesnt piss off the neighbors. Thats a good thing.

This compressor is so quiet it won’t even start. I have repeatedly contacted the manufacturer and they reply with repair videos. I bought this expensive compressor to have compressed air on demand. What I received was a part time job trying to get this thing to operate. The last time I contacted them they failed to respond. I have a cheap (20 year old) compressor that has never failed. It is louder, but I can rely on it to operate. I cannot take my California Air compressor to a job site, because I cannot rely on it to work. Very sad. Very expensive. Look for an alternative before you spend your hard earned money with this company.

Compressor is very quiet and has enough pressure to run 2 trim guns at the same time or a single framer. The compressor I received has a rattle that comes from the brass regulator tube, this would not be noticeable on most compressors because it would be droned out by the motor. I bought this because I have young children and am doing some remodeling around my house and my full size compressor is much to loud to have running in garage. I originally bought this after hearing a friend of mines and couldnt believe how quite it was. Compressor is not silent but is quite enough to have running inside the house with family sleeping (note:work is still getting done compressor is usually one of the loudest things on job site after saws). Silly to say but I think it calms the feeling of a job site because there is no violent screaming of a compressor in the back ground, radios do not have to be as loud and voices do not have to be raised to talk over it. Aluminum Tanks are awesome to avoid rust from forming inside tanks and spraying out when emptying tanks. Also, is light for how sturdy the machine is. I will never cheap out on a compressor again.

this is my second C.A.T. Compressor. they are the brand that I prefer due to their dependability and performance to noise ratio. it is worth spending the extra money on a quality tool if you use it day in day out and rely on it to put food on the table. After working with one of these, the louder compressors will just become irritating to you with the noise level they run at. the California air tools can be ran inside your clients house with no complaints of noise, conversating next to the tool while its running is not an issue. recommended for carpenters and professionals as well as DIYers. 5 stars.

I am very happy I bought this. Very quiet and well made.

It will not power an air tool, the air depletes very quick and would not recover fast enough. Good for projects that do not require cfm.

Perfect size unit with plenty of capacity, quick recovery and unlike the yellow one it replaced, it holds the air without leakage. Very quiet and I expect to get a lot of years of use from it.

Love this compressor. I will never go back to old and noisy compressors. extremely quiet, exceed my expectations if it comes to noise. hose adapters are solid, easy to attach and disengaged the hoses. Only the drain valve stick out of the bottom tank little farther then I will like, but ball valve is a big plus.
