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

I purchased this unit to replace a well known American name brand 6 gallon pancake compressor. The noise reduction is amazing. You can barely hear it running. This will be a tremendous benefit when doing inside jobs such as a rehab or working in a small workshop. In addition to that, the unit seems to be well constructed and I hope it provides me with many years of service .

The quietest compressor I have ever used or heard. It is very quick to fill the tanks. Very happy with my purchase. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

It is still a bit loud, although a vast improvement over my old one. I use it in a dental laboratory and while quieter than my previous unit its still loud enough that in a closet with the door shut across the building from me when it kicks on I cant hear the radio anymore and conversations are difficult to have over the noise. However the dual tank capacity is pretty good and its very compact.

I own a Lemon shake up stand this air compressor is the hart of it . It goes down we are out for the day so far so good. It suit off one time then I released it has got to plug in direct no extinction cords

I keep this in my truck for mobile detailing, it has overheated a couple times so you have to turn it off and leave it sit for 30 minutes before turning it back on. I get this is a safety feature but my other 10 gallon California air tools compressor never did this. It could use some more cooling equipment. Other than that it has plenty of power and is very quiet.

I did a lot of research on which air compressor to purchase. This was small enough, yet powerful enough to fit in my garage. It will replace a very, very loud compressor that I have.

What a great compressor. Its very quiet and has a small footprint. Not all that heavy either - Im able to lift and move around garage pretty easily.

I was looking for a quiet compressor. I have been using a porter cable pancake unit. When that thing comes on babies cry and ear drums bleed. I was tired of the noise. The entire reason in purchased this unit was it clam to be quiet. I am shocked. Totally shocked. The noise from this is minimal. It is far from ear piercing. I would classify this as quiet. It is not hype and it lives up to its marketing. I also upgraded to the aluminum tanks. I am glad I did. I would imagine the steel tanks would add weight and take my joy of use away. Spend the extra money on aluminum. Overall—I am thrilled with my purchase. Time will tell how it holds up. Very happy.

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.
