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

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.

So much nicer than the big, old, very loud air compressor we replaced. Easy to move around and so nice it is quiet. Good job

How can I give this 11 stars? Where has this been my whole life, its super quiet and pleasure to use. I have a huge RV garage 2500 Sq ft 18 ft high ceiling and it can really echo. but this is almost whisper quiet

I used one of these at the track and liked it so much I bought my own. Very small footprint, amazingly quiet and the pressure is terrific for setting the bead on tires. Great deal.

Wow! Thats the only word for how impressed I am by this compressor. Super quiet, fills up fast and recovers even faster. Very lightweight too, the aluminum tank is well worth the small increase in price. The only thing to consider with the aluminum tank is it is a tiny bit top heavy. Not unstable at all but just be aware and youll have no problems. Unlike some other reviews, mine arrived perfect. The box wasnt damaged at all, I may have got lucky as I got it in one day. Maybe there wasnt a chance for it to be knocked around in shipping. Bottom line, if your in the market for a compressor this size... get this one.

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.

I have 2 smaller California Air units and was very happy with their performance. And extra happy with their quiet operation which was a priority. For this location I need more air capacity and went with the 8010A unit. Just as quiet. Also happy that I went with the aluminum version. The first time I used it was with my impact tool to take off some stuborn lug nuts. It is not Factory Air but good for what I am doing. I love California Air. I have always changed out the Quick Disconnect on the regulator. I just pefer a different version. Be careful not to overtighten any new nipples at the regulator. it is plastic and it will split.

Love this money well spent. Bought as Christmas gift for husband. He loves it, got the aluminum one, its very light I can easily lift it. Very quiet.

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.

Havent used it on a a job yet , however it is very quiet and easy to move / pick up . Its half the weight of my old compressor with slightly greater capacity . I will review again after I have some run time with it .
