    I like it. It tips over backward though if you’re not careful. Needs more lateral and longitudinal stability. Better wheels would help and maybe a few more stabilizing feet.

    What a nice piece of gear. Super quiet, kicks ass, very light, good quality. Highly recommended.

    Im running a home metal working hobby shop in the basement, and have been agonizing over putting an air compressor down there for power drawbars and blowing off parts. I heard about the California Air Tools compressors, so thought Id give it a shot. One word describes this compressor - AMAZING. Quiet enough it is not noticeable in the shop, and it isnt heard upstairs. Now, just hoping it holds up over time.

    The Hubby needed a new Compressor. He couldn’t be more pleased with this brand. Super quiet.

    In 2017 I purchased one of these compressors for a large Co2 laser cutter I own. I like the fact that it is very quiet as compared to other compressors Ive owned. I have recommended this compressor to several friends. In November of last year (2020) I purchased another one of these compressors to use for some light construction / remodeling work. I had only used it a couple of times when the air pressure gauge was gently bumped and to my surprise blew off! The gauges thin copper broke in half and and left half of the male copper threaded tube inside a female custom fitting. I phoned the company and told them about my problem. They suggested I purchase an extraction tool, heat up the fitting (so the locktite would break free), and extract the left over piece. I followed their instructions and unfortunately the female fitting cracked / broke-off (cheap pot-metal - see pic :( ). Now Im stuck with a practically new compressor and $$$$$$ to get this thing fixed! My time is more valuable than the repair cost/ time so Ill likely just purchase a compressor built for construction. I would avoid this unit if you plan to bring this to a job site.

    After a long search for a quiet air compressor, I finally found a winner. I took it to the lake to blow up some inflatables and I was pleasantly surprised by the low noise level of the air compressor. Its lightweight and fits perfectly in my RVs lower storage compartment.

    Can hardly believe how quiet it is compared to my old pancake compressor. Ordered Thursday afternoon and received Sunday afternoon via US Mail which was hard to believe. Item was well packaged. Manufacturers decorative box with pics and info was inside a heavier weight cardboard box providing extra protection during shipment. Good instructions and easy assembly. Im already putting it to use today.

    The compressor works well. Gets up to pressure quickly. I did measure the decibels from ten feet and I got 67-68 db on my phone decibel meter. So certainly not 60 db But definitely quieter than the standard compressors. Mine did not say to not use an extension cord. Though others have commented on this. So be cognizant of this. I use mine in one location right next to the main power outlet.

    I absolutely love this compressor! Compared to my old pancake compressor this one is virtually silent! It comes up to pressure very quickly and is ready to use in about a minute. I don’t move it around much but it is very maneuverable.

    Very quiet compressor. Had to modify the bump stop in the front. Has two wheels in the back and one floor mount in front. Compressor is top heavy, I had to make a bracket for the front to keep it from tipping over.
