California Air Tools 8010A Aluminum Tank Air Compressor | Ultra Quiet, Oil-Free, 1.0 hp, 8 gal

What a great little air compressor not too loud I would recommend it for anybody that needs a small one

By far the quietest air compressor ive ever used, almost unbelievable, especially for an oil-less compressor. The aluminum tank means its super light as well. I really like this thing. The only gripes I have are that with the lightweight tank, the compressor unit makes it a bit top heavy when wheeling it around, but that is so minor of an issue its almost not even worth mentioning, and the on/off switch is a little weird, but once again not an actual problem in any way. You wont regret buying this thing. Fills fast, holds pressure, wont make you go deaf. Not sure what else you could want.

It was quiet and the wheels made it very easy to move it. I used it nail gun and also to pump air in my cars.

So far I do love it. Compared to what Ive had in the past its unbelievably quiet. Im a retired finish carpenter of over 45 years and still like to build and repair things and so far its fine. It works with all my finish guns but Im not doing production work so it might not keep up for that. I tried it with an air chisel and it works fine as well but I have to let it catch up. I love that it has an aluminum tank so no more rusty water to drain. And its on wheels so I dont have to lift it all the time. Really just what I wanted.

Replaced a same-size/psi compressor that cost half as much but was so much louder I could stand to use it with my garage door closed (or without hearing protection). This one is sooo quiet that you really can stand right next to it and have a conversation at normal speaking volume. SAVE YOUR EARS!

I am a general contractor and have had allot of compressors, i purchased this compressor to install in my work van and run it on a 3000 watt inverter it does great it works properly and does not draw a ton of power. I’m pleased with the product, its quite and performs as should!!! I had a dewalt similar compressor and it would not run of my inverter 14 amps. No ratings on maneuverability and light weight because it will never leave its place in my van.

So, I bought this compressor to replace a noisy old oil based Harbor Freight compressor of about the same capacity. This one might have a slightly smaller tank but they were about the same overall dimensions. The harbor freight model was SUPER loud, but you get what you pay for I guess. This compressor is such a huge difference. Its a little quieter than my washing machine when its on and is very nicely built. Its oil-free, so it depends on friction modifying surfaces to keep the parts moving. These might wear out eventually, but my use is very light so Im not in the slightest bit worried. I bought the aluminum version and its extremely light!! When the box arrived, I was shocked at how light it was. The only draw back compared to my old compressor is the recharge rate is definitely slower than my harbor freight compressor. It takes a good amount of time to recover the tank pressure when doing things like using a blower attachment (prob a minute or two). But for less demanding applications, its a really nice unit!

Small air tools and cleaning items; tire pump, I hear a click when pulling the switch, suddenly will not turn on compressor motor

So much nicer than the big, old, very loud air compressor we replaced. Easy to move around and so nice it is quiet. Good job

Loved that the machine is so light weight & quit. I run it with a 3500 quite inverter Predetor Generator. Its even quieter than that. Couldnt believe it ,the 1st time I ran it. Highly Recommend for all uses. I use mine for Moblie Detailing
