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

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.

The compressor is one the quietest portable compressor I have ever used. On first impression it is a high quality product.

I bought this in December 2019. Just started using it yesterday August 12, 2020. I aired up (4) ATV tires and (2) lawn mower tires. That was all. Possibly 10 minutes run time total. I turned my back and the motor got louder. I turned it off and air was escaping through a broken fitting. (see photo) This new unit didn’t last 11 minutes. I’ve read the reviews and found that this happens often. Cheap fittings! We removed the broken fitting half, and noticed the threads were poorly machined. Extremely rough threads. It’s quiet and light weight but poor QUALITY. I would not recommend this unit unless you’re prepared to throw the dice and see if you win or lose. This company needs to address this issue and then fix the problem. We bought some brake fittings for approx $7.50 for both ends. (figured from the previous review photos that both ends brake ....... see photos) “Hey California Air Tools get on board and manufacture a good product instead of this cheap junk.” You’ve lost a customer here! BUYERS BEWARE!!!!

Not ultra quiet. I dont have a decibel meter, but I do have ears. I really cant fathom how the CAT compressor would be advertised as ultra quiet. I have a oil lube Jun Air that I would call ultra quiet, the California Air Tools compressor noise level far exceeds that of the Jun Air. The California Air Tools compressor is about as loud as loud talking with of course a more annoying tone. I needed some oil free compressed air, so I guess this will do until I can find a used compressor that really is ultra quiet and fits my budget. If you are short of money and time this is an option if you temper your expectations.

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

Buy with confidence! This air compressor is awesome, ultra quiet, light and very well built...i highly recommend!!!!!

Bought this for general home repairs and tasks. It runs much quieter, you really can be in the same room and have a normal volume conversation while it is running. Really like the aluminum tanks, as it makes the unit lighter. If you are looking for a home compressor that fills fast and is quiet, put this on the short list

Quiet but it does have to run near constant to keep up. On the plus side it fills very quickly.

Wow just wow. If you have ever had a run of the mill air compressor and are tired of the loud and obnoxious sound that it produces then this is the best thing youll ever buy. I have had a 30 gallon oil-less 2.6hp craftsman and it was loud as could be, in the 95 to100db range and if you used it for any extended amount of time it was unbearable in the garage. I got a 5hp 80 gal oiled and it was better but it was still loud and the sound was much lower toned so it was more tolerable. But when i needed a smaller one and stated doing research and California Air Tools kept popping up as the one to go with due to its quietness compared to all the others. I have a friend with a porter cable 6gal for $99 and it seems to be the one that everyone buys, it is loud @85-90db but face it most compressors are and that is what is to be expected. I almost pulled the trigger until i saw this one as an amazon open box for $120 and thought id give it a try. I will tell you that i would happily pay the full price of $200 if i would have been able to hear it run before. It is as quiet as they say. You can have a conversation right next to it while talking at a normal level. The build quality is far above most compressors i the sub $300 category.

Its a good quiet compressor but extremely heavy and the rubber handle came off the 2nd day and air filter off from vibration but still happy with it.
