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

I really like this compressor. I use it in my hobby/craft/wood shop. It is very quiet, doesnt vibrate and move around on the floor and is compact.

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.

Probably my favorite purchase in the past year or so. I watched comparison videos between these and standard compressors and was worried it would still be too loud. These are insanely more quiet than a standard compressor, the comparison videos do not do them any justice. With how quiet this unit is, I have to wonder how much better the ultra quiet models are, as this is just quiet. That said, I went into this knowing a bit more than the product page mentioned. If you look through all the reviews you may find some that question whether or not they got a used one. These are new, but if you look at California Air Tools page that sells them you will see something left out of the product page here. It mentions there may be paint issues and I believe it also mentions slight corrosion on the fittings. Mine arrived with very slight paint discoloration in some areas and the zinc fittings with some corrosion, no corrosion on the brass. While I didnt see any reason for this listed, I have a feeling these have been stored for a period of time in a warehouse that was not climate controlled. I didnt have any issues with leaks like some have mentioned. I did end up taking off the quick release and adding a 90 degree elbow and a ball valve so I could push quick connects down into place instead of pushing them in from the side. Ball valve was added so I could shut off the air before the quick connect so I can leave my hoses/tools hooked up without air leaking out from them just by turning the valve. My rating may have been lower had I not known about the paint/corrosion issues before hand. But I knew and in my humble opinion its well worth the low cost its at.

Very quiet! I can bring this into a home environment to work with and not worry it will disturb the homeowner.

Ive tried at least a dozen different brands, mostly the high end stuff. They all chattered noisily! I tried this small California air tool brand to test for noise and now intend to go up to a larger hp/vol

This thing is great. I also have a 60gal belt drive oiled compressor in my shop. This thing is quieter than the 60gal. So far it has had no issues, I dont see any reason to have any. Its easy to tote upstairs. I got this mostly for nail guns. I used to fill a 5 gallon tank and use that in the house for my nailers. When the nails stopped sinking deep enough, I had to refill. I should have bought one of these years ago. Im happier I got this higher flow model over the single stage ones, supposedly they are quieter. This thing is quiet enough to use in a small room and not worry about bothering other rooms. The nailers are way louder.

Its as quiet as they say, and as light as they say and, yes, the welding is as cheap and poorly done as they say. A reasonable choice if you just need an inexpensive compressor in your garage to inflate the occasional bike tire or blow out a gutter, but not meant for much beyond light, occasional use and not likely something youll be passing on to your kids. If you get a decade of use out of this, youll have gotten your moneys worth.

Noise level is super quiet. Very easy to have a conversation. Perfect for a small shop. Very easy to carry around, but not so small that its always running! Very well built.

Sooooo quiet. Impressive. Love it. My neighbors is loud even at 500 feet away. This one is high quality, does the job and without the irritating noise levels the others produce. Highly recommended.

seems well built . I had a bostich pancake compressor before but I could not run it at nights without waking up the neighbourhood. Now I can work at nights because this one is considerably more quiet. love it
