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

Impressed with quality

Quiet and fills quickly. The unit did have a leak where the regulator threads into the tank. This is an easy fix with some ptfe thread sealant and Teflon tape. I would give it 5 stars if it did not arrive with a leak.

I have been using the same pancake compressor for about 12 years and the noise has always been unbearable. This new compressor is so quiet I dont even notice it running. I havent used it for anything yet besides a few test drives on my brad nail gun but it seems up to the task. I am absolutely overwhelmed by the quiet. I hope this one last as long as the last one but regardless the silence is worth the price.

The quiet setting is as advertised - purrrrrrrrrrs. This is really great. I have a Portal Cable 1 gal comp and it was so freaking noisey!! It pumped out a meager .2 cfm. This 4.7 gal comp puts out 2 cfm at 90 psi x 10 times more.. For the size, this a good!

First off I’d like to start off by saying, I was really excited for this compressor from California air tools. I can’t speak for their other models, but this is for model CAT-4710SQ. Arrived falling out of the box. Regulator does not work Psi gauge stuck at 20psi having never even been turned on. Solenoid valve broken Take it all off to find the tank and fitting are rusted inside. I bought this for airbrushing and now that I’ve gotten it up and running, it’s really nice. The box it was shipped In was too big and I suspect I got a returned unit. But all in all it runs quiet as advertised. I’ve been airbrushing till 1am and it’s great! If you were to buy an equivalent spec compressor made for “airbrushing” you’d have to spend way more than this. I had to: replace all the fittings to brass - the ones that were on it were steel and already rusted inside Change the solenoid or “electromagnetism” as it’s called in the manual- mine arrived busted-the one on it is fragile so don’t strip Take all fittings apart and put Teflon tape-When it arrived it leaked a lot Replace the regulator-mine arrived broke and a quick trip to the harbor took care of it for under $20 I can’t say yours will need all of this stuff too. But you will have to take this think apart to get rid of leaks. It’s not too hard, but if you’re not comfortable working on stuff I’d go with a different model. I updated this from 1 star to 3 after the frustration of dealing with all of this. It works, But it does get hot asf

best small compressor I have ever owned. Highly recommend

It would be nice if it had 2 wheels on the back for easy moving around the garage, other than that, product is perfect

If you are weary of the eardrum-lacerating racket of pancake compressors (and who isnt), do yourself a major favor and move on to this unit. It is every bit as quiet as claimed, and this makes for a huge improvement to the work environment. Another point against the pancake units: quality control has not been great in recent years. Despite the prestige of the brand, two Porter-Cable pancake compressors of mine both developed leaks and other problems that were difficult/impossible to correct satisfactorily. Forget about getting real customer service, alas. By contrast, everything about this compressor speaks quality. Do be aware that the unit is about ten pounds heavier than a pancake compressor. But Ill take that trade every day in return for the dramatic noise reduction. Youre also getting a larger tank here, meaning less cycling. To improve mobility, simply replace the stock rubber feet with a good set of locking casters. Im replacing many power tools based on a reduced noise factor. Goodbye gas blowers and trimmers, hello 40V electrics. What a difference! The assault on ears has continued for far too long. And the menace is serious, with lifetime consequences potentially involved.

I have owned/used air compressors for about 25 years now. This air compressor by far is the quietest air compressor I have ever used! I truly cant believe the absence of noise. I did replace the coupler right away because it had a very slow leak. To be honest the couple was most likely fine and the problem probably could have been solved with a little Teflon tape, but it needed replaced because my tools use a different style coupler. Overall, this is an excellent product and I would purchase another and recommend to everyone who likes to hear themselves think.

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.
