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

Purchased this compressor in Dec 2018 . The compressor motor burnt up this week. Only used it about 30 hours per year so the estimated use is about 120 hours. The advertisement states the unit life is at least 3,000 hours. The unit was always stored indoors never abused. A replacement motor sells for over $300 including tax and shipping. The unit sold for $330 delivered. Watch this YouTube presentation of how to repair the motor. California Air Tool Compressor Failure and Repair Judge for yourself.

We are extremely pleased with this purchase. It is so quiet that we can hear each other talk when the compressor is running, unlike our previous one. We highly recommend it.

I was hesitant to purchase this air compressor given the other reviews, but had friends who swore by California Air Tools compressors. They are by far the quietest compressors I have ever used. I decided to purchase this compressor anyways, and it worked very well at first. After 25 days of owning this compressor and only using it a handful of times, the metal pipe that connects the tanks to the inlet and on/of controls completely sheared while installing baseboards with a 16 gauge nail gun. Needless to say I am completely livid and disappointed at the quality of this product. As much as I appreciate the quietness of the compressor, I would never recommend purchasing anything from California Air Tools. Save your money and spend it on a more reliable product.

We had another one (much bigger unit) that made huge LOUD noise. My husband bought this one for me. I like to blow off my lamp shadows and other things. By the way, hubby uses it to for the tires on the cars. Great price and GREAT item.

Great product, amazingly quiet, well constructed and lightweight for its size

Huge difference in sound level between this one and two older compressors. I have mounted it in the bed of my truck and with the tonneau cover closed you hardly hear it. Reassessment: I really put this to the test topping off about 40 tires/day (over about and hour) for 3 days. Sorry to say it disappointed as the duty cycle was not sufficient to keep up. The compressor shut down near the end of the hour and would not restart until it cooled down. On the last day I had to get the noisy Porter Cable pancake unit out to do the job. I am going to try adding more storage capacity so it will have time to cool down between cycles.

User friendly... awesome product

I bought single tank same motor it works better than I would have ever thought so I bought one for my airbrush shop and for around the house you cant beat these the single tank keeps up with my subfloor and hard wood floor nailers no problem and the double tank keeps up with all my spray guns and its so so quiet love them

Super quiet compared to my pancake compressor. Love it so far.

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.
