CALIFORNIA AIR TOOLS CAT-1P1060SP GAL 56DB Air Compressor

Quietest air compressor on the market. Quick connect fitting on compressor was faulty. Had to replace. Thus a star taken away.

You have to hear this to fully appreciate how truly quiet it is. You can hold a quiet conversation with this running right next to you and never have to raise your voice. Im blown away how well it performs. Best compressor Ive ever had! I literally run that night in my basement and wife cannot hear it in room above me.

CALIFORNIA AIR TOOLS makes great products. I have one of their 10020C compressors and it has been great. I wanted a compact compressor to keep at my storage so I purchased this one. Both compressors are very quiet but this one is super quiet. It is what it is. Dont expect to run air tools and the like, but this thing comes in very handy for airing up tires and float toys. Connect it to their AUX10 portable air tank, which I also have, and it can take on bigger jobs. Cant go wrong with California Air Tools products. Highly recommend.

I had a 1 cu ft pancake compressor that lasted 8 years, then died, so I got this one. I love how quiet this is. I use it as a pressure source for the foot-lift on a commercial sewing machine, so it is inside. It is very quiet while building pressure, and maintains pressure for a long time, so doesnt have to cycle often for my purpose. It doesnt vibrate much, but does walk around a bit on a vinyl tile floor. I definitely recommend it.

This is a great compact compressor that packs a lot of power. Using a 5/8 inch hose, the air is always available and I never run out of air whether using it with a small nailgun or filling my tires. It weighs around 30 lbs. Its very quiet but being a California air tool device, its expected to be quiet and the best air pumps out there. I think youll love it for light duty to medium duty work or just to top off your tires... You wont be disappointed.

I do not take much time to rate consumable items and this is my first review in more than a year. I must tell you this item met 100% of my need. It runs fine with my framing nailer and is super quiet. I am not measuring decibels, rather making a general statement. I am 100% Completely Satisfied with this California Air Tools Air Compressor model 1P1060SP. Thank you much!

Stand next to the unit and carry on a conversation while its running effortlessly. Charges quickly and holds the charge for hours. This is my second California purchase and this one was for airing up tires and powering my brad nailer. Its light and easy to use. Doesnt take up allot of space. I gave away the other similar unit that was so loud you had to wear hearing protection. California Air Compressors for me are the BEST!

would highly recommend for light jobs. i do wish I had gotten a slightly larger tank. But thats on me. well built and super quiet.

I ordered this in July but it was late August before I got around to opening it. My plan was to use it as an air assist for my laser. It worked fine for about 2 months and then it died. After doing all of the regular checkings of everything, I sent an email to customer service. I got no answer for three days so I called them. The guy I got was almost dismissive of my issues. He told me that I should have bought a bigger unit. He told me that the thermal switch is probably bad or needs to be reset. He also said that the only way to get it fixed is to send it to them. IN CALIFORNIA. so I have to spend $30 or $40 to even have them look at it. Its still under warranty but I guess I am going to have to eat the cost of getting it fixed rather than them sending me the part they think is bad. At some point, I will take it apart and see what I can see but I just bought something else for now. So, if you buy this thing realize that it is only designed to be used in short spurts according to the guy. It may be quiet but it wont hold up under demanding use, and by demanding use, I think I ran it a few days per week for about 8 hours per day with the on-and-off cycles. This might be good for airbrushing or something with very low air pressure requirements but I wouldnt count on it for anything much more demanding than that. Maybe they should include duty cycle expectations in the description.

I laughed in astonishment when I turned it on. It is SO QUIET! it fills up fast too. Im going to get a larger one as well, but this little compressor is awesome! Good work California Air Tools
