California Air Tools 8010A Aluminum Tank Air Compressor | Ultra Quiet, Oil-Free, 1.0 hp, 8 gal

You just wont believe how quiet this compressor is or how fast it builds up pressure. I have it maintaining a 50 gallon pressure tank at 100 psi and aerating a small fish pond and it hardly ever runs. I highly recommend this compressor.

It was quiet and the wheels made it very easy to move it. I used it nail gun and also to pump air in my cars.

so far it is exactly what I was expecting

it is almost like it is not on but in 2 minuts it stops with 120 pounds of pressure .I never seen or heard anything like it .I was just lucky to pick this one

Pros: This is one nice little compressor that is great for home use. I love that it is super quiet--I can run it in the house and not have to wear ear protection; it is lightweight--I opted for the aluminum model--I can pick it up easily (but it also has wheels to transport); it fills up fast; is easy to drain when done using it; very reasonably priced compared to other like models; and quick and friendly response from California Air Tools when I called with a question about what size hose to get. The compressor comes with a 1/4 quick connect connector. By the way, it takes a 1/4 hose and you need to get connectors for the two ends of the hose. My husband got a quick connect connector for the end the tools connect to. Northern Tool had the best prices on the hoses--$17 for 25 foot 1/4 inch. If youre a veteran you get an extra 10% off. And we got the connectors at Lowes, again you get a 10% discount if you are a veteran. Cons: Amazon promised it in one day, it took two; the handle is short so you kind of have to bend over to pull it to where you want to go. The pros far outweigh the cons. My husband even likes it!

This compressor is even quieter than I expected. Such an improvement over my old oil-filled compressor that gave a jet engine a run for its money. I haven’t sprayed finish with it yet so will have to see how that goes. So far, great value for the price.

Been wanting a quiet compressor for years. My old one was annoying to say the least. This one is quiet and holds air the best of any compressor I’ve owned. It small but for my needs quite adequate. Paid a little extra for the aluminum version. No regrets.

Ive been spending more and more time in my garage doing woodworking projects. With that comes lots of dust and lots of finish nailing. My cheap 3 gallon pancake compressor from Harbor Freight worked fine for the nailer, but it was not good for blowing dust off saws and out of the garage, it just didnt have enough volume to handle it. Plus, it was LOUD. So, recently after I spent several hours listening to that loud machine run, I decided enough with it and hopped online and started searching for quiet air compressors. The California Air Tools options were consistently recommended and the reviews supported those recommendations. I must say, I see why! This thing is AMAZING. It is just a hair louder than the compressor on my beer fridge. It is so quiet that I dont even notice when it kicks on unless Im standing right next to it. It was super easy to put together, just throw on the wheels, front rubber piece, and the air filter which is more of a muffler, and it was ready to go. Its not heavy at all an maneuvers very easily. I have a retractable hose reel, so I keep this under my workbench and wont have to move it much. All-in-all, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone else who is tired of loud air compressors!

I got this to blow out my sprinklers and was not worried as much about the noise as I wanted the aluminum frame so it would be light enough to maneuver. It worked great in that regards but I was amazed at how quiet this thing really was. I could run it in the house with some air tools if I needed without losing my hearing. Absolutely amazing compared to what I have used before.

A very impressive air compressor. I def it to paint farm tractor with HVLP GUN it kept with the gun well
