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

Very quiet running, easy to carry. Bought to use with Brad nailer. Wouldve rated 5 stars but received damage on plastic cover on back of compressor. Does not affect performance of unit. No damage to outside of box.

This compressor was packaged extremely well and arrive undamaged. (Actually 1 day earlier than expected). I’ve tested it under heavy load for 2 days straight with no issues. Yes it has to fill up the small tank often but does so quicker than any other brand I’ve ever seen. I’ve been a professional Mechanic for over 25 years and have dealt with many air compressors, this one is amazing for its size and output. As for the loudness of the unit... just as described. Very, very quiet. I plan on buying the largest one this company makes for my shop. I hope the quality of this small unit carries over to a larger one.

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 like lots of things about this product and there is only one thing that makes it so I would not have bought it if I had to do it again. It is fine if all you have to blow up are small things. But, it is too small for large projects like a nail gun or blowing up a truck tire. The tank is small so keep that in mind when you are looking. I would have bought a bigger one for over time it would have much more usable than mine is.

This is a super quiet compressor that works well. I wish it could handle a little stronger PSI load for auto painting (takes a moment for it to catchup sometimes when spraying) however this is a great small compressor that is very very quiet and lightweight. I can paint in the garage while the family sleeps inside at night and this compressor is quiet not waking anyone up. Good value

I used this compressor in an industrial setting where it was required to keep kicking on to top up the tank pressure every 12 minutes non-stop, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without pause, forever. Requiring no maintenance (other than draining water from tank) it held up under these unrelenting conditions for 18 months before its pressure shutoff started to get sticky. For the price I am impressed. I replaced it with another, operated under the same never-ending duty-cycle and that is still running strong a year later. I just changed the duty cycle to only 14 hours a day, every day, so who knows how long it will last now... I cant review how loud it is because it is used in an area that is already loud, but this compressor is definitely a great little unit at a great price.

It really is quiet, compared to others. I love it. For me, it is a little heavy. I can move it around the garage with ease, but it I need to take it somewhere else, I put it in my utility wagon. It recovers quickly for my needs. I mainly use it to blow the dust out of my car, or off something I am going to paint.

What is that? My friend said. It’s my air compressor. It’s so quiet! I use this in my golf shop and you barely hear it when it turns on. Good pressure and lightweight. I hope it lasts.

I set this product up in my garage for general use. Work Bench, Tires, Stuff, What I found out right away is that if your using this product for like a nail gun, it works just fine. It does not work well on its own when you need a little more than a quick puff of compressed air. I purchased an extra 5 gal air tank and added it to the system. This gave me more volume when using. Good product, Very Quite, It is not fast but does a good job. If I had to do it over again I would by the same product but with more air volume.

I unpacked the compressor, plugged it in and waited for it to reach operating pressure. It never did because the manifold that accepts the air chuck was cracked and therefor leaked. The manifold itself is made of a brittle and fragile, low quality cast metal. it ideally should be brass or, at least, a beefy grey cast iron. Very disappointing.
