California Air Tools CAT-4710SQ 4710Sq Quiet Compressor Gray 4.7 gallons

Where was this machine all my life? If all I needed was to keep my tires inflated I’d probably still buy this. A pneumatic nail gun prompted me to buy this. I never know if something this inexpensive is just a Chinese knock-off or a safe, well-built machine. Time will tell, but so far I’m living the whisper quiet operation and solid construction. It weighs a bit much, so I’ll likely put it on wheels. UPDATE 2022: I have somehow made excuses to buy pneumatic tools just because of the great compressor. I made it sound near silent in the original review. It’s not. But relative to its peers there is no comparison. I did have a part failure that took some work and really thread compound to replace successfully. Not expensive though. And I’d still buy this again.

This air compressor is quiet and easy to use. The packaging is TERRIBLE! No arrows on box to indicate which side is up. Unit was obviously dropped HARD upside down. Received with a bent handle. The motor mounts were also bent. These I was able to straighten out. Also the air filter was SEVERELY damaged (crushed) by the movement of the compressor within the carton. A replacement is coming. In spite of the shipping damage the compressor works great.

Nice little compressor. Quiet and fast. My old one burned up. This seems much more reliable, and definitely quiter.

I use this air compressor for airbrushing and I love it. It not loud at all. Yes, you can hear it but not so loud that its drowns out everything. It doesnt take long for it to fool back up after it kicks on. I highly recommend if you are using it inside a building. It is only a fraction of the sound compared to a pancake air compressor. It is not light weight. So its good for sitting in one spot and leaving it.

Super quiet and comes up to pressure fast, no need to leave it on and under pressure. Used it for 16 ga. brad nailer and it worked great. I havent used it with the framing nailer yet but I feel there shouldnt be any problems, however because of the small storage tank it might not keep up with rapid bump nailing. I have a larger air compressor that was outside under cover but now that we moved its in the garage/shop and scares the crap out of me when it starts. So rather than moving it to the garden shed and running a airline 75 ft. to the garage I bought this little fellow and it saved me a bunch of work and I have no complaints as of this review. I can easily take the compressor into the house to nail molding without having to fill a air tank like I did with the larger compressor.

The air compressor is great, as it is very quiet but delivers much better air flow than competitors low noise units.

I recieved my compressor fairly damaged, Id imagine from the jammed shipping containers they arrive in from China. Do Not get me wrong, this thing is pretty sweet. No harm/no foul. I got in touch w/Cali Air via their websight thru amazon. They replied immediately. I ran my 4710 SQ thru its paces. Super quiet. Zero Leaks. Runs my tools nice, & cycles fast. I would def recommend this to a buddy.

For many years Ive owned pancake compressors, after 5 years of good service my HF 150psi compressor quit. After a little digging around on Amazon I discovered quiet compressors and finally locked onto this one. Its amazing! So very quiet and cycles on for just 30 seconds when refilling. My old compressor was so loud it would sometimes startle me. Theres no way this CAT-4710SQ will ever do that. It is about 5lbs heavier than the old HF but is narrower and more comfortable to carry. I kind of wished it would pump up to 150psi but its so quiet it really doesnt matter. At $128 This model is far less expensive than others and has a single larger 4.7gal tank which I like better. The only way it could be better is if were aluminum, which they have, but theyre a little too expensive for the difference. This a really great on-the-go air compressor.

When you would like less noise and still complete any job...this is your answer. Hold a conversation, listen to music and finish your work with this super quiet compressor. Best purchase.

Using it to set up on a 80 gallon tank with cooling fans for the extended running times itll encounter. Ill let you know how it lasts and put up some pictures!
