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

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 quiet enough that you can have a conversation standing next to it. I have used it in a small 1200 square foot house that we are renovating. Houses that don’t have furniture or carpet are always loud, but I can have this on and stand next to it and carry on a conversation.

I bought this air compressor 4 years ago. About 18 months the air compressor would fall on its face when letting air out the hose. I contacted support and they were very unhelpful. Simple things like asking me for purchase date and model number when I had included that in my original contact email. The warranty was for 12 months, so they wanted nothing to do with helping me out other than sending me a link to the parts page. Through some troubleshooting, I found the regulator to be faulty. I removed the regulator and the internal bits and found a lot of corrosion. I cleaned and lubricated the regulator pieces, but the output pressure was still stuck at ~20 PSI. Today, I had enough and took matters into my own hands. I removed the regulator and installed an brand regulator and mounted it on the compressor bracket. California Air Tools wanted $60 for the regulator, which is a ridiculous price for a part that failed so quickly. All is well now and I have the compressor back to working as intended. If California Air Tools reads this, I would suggest they use regulator internal parts that dont corrode so easily.

I love everything about it so far. So quiet! So easy to carry. I’m 5’2” little spunk ball and if I can carry so can someone else. Can’t wait to use on all my projects. Thank you ❤️

I am disappoint on investing in this product. It stopped working a few days ago and it was purchased 23 months ago barely used throughout the months). Another issue that bugged me, was its claim on noise level, while it was quieter than most, its noise level fluctuated quite a bit. In the first few months it maintained its quite level, than it soared to higher DBs and could barely handle being used with two guns. If you do decide to continue on with this product, do purchase an extended warranty, otherwise it is not worth the EFFORT.

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.

Meets all my needs 100%. How quiet is amazing and easy for this ok’d man to carry snd move to where needed.

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

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

We are using this at work(indoor). And could not be happier with the performance and low noise level. Strongly recommend.
