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

Upgrade from a small 3 liter tanked compressor to reduce noise. Using for airbrushing. Having a big tank has cut down own the motor running constantly. The motor is quiet for an air compressor. Not as quite as the one I was using before, but not too loud either. Build quality is solid. We will see how it stands the test of time.

I purchased the aluminum version. It is light, well built and so quite. I can have a phone conversation right next to it while it is running. I love it. Worth every penny.

Didnt know what to expect with this compressor (I have only had larger ones). Very pleased with performance and power. Not very loud and easy to maneuver. I would recommend this compressor and would give it more stars if I could.

So far I do love it. Compared to what Ive had in the past its unbelievably quiet. Im a retired finish carpenter of over 45 years and still like to build and repair things and so far its fine. It works with all my finish guns but Im not doing production work so it might not keep up for that. I tried it with an air chisel and it works fine as well but I have to let it catch up. I love that it has an aluminum tank so no more rusty water to drain. And its on wheels so I dont have to lift it all the time. Really just what I wanted.

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.

This is very quiet for a compressor. I was impressed, runs great and the aluminum tank is nice since I usually leave it Ill of air all the time. Holds pressure very well it has been holding steady for a few weeks now.

I just got my new compressor, easy to put together it’s actually smaller than I thought it would be but man it’s just inquired. I write very few reviews but I wanted to let everybody know that I am optimistic this is the best compressor I’ve ever bought. It is actually quieter than a normal conversation which shocked me. I got the aluminum model for the lighter weight. I’m sure this thing will work flawless for 20 years

Fast quite any lite

Super quiet. Lightweight. Fills quickly. My kid, the engineer, said to buy this one. I agree. Perhaps a few dollars more than the cheapie brands, but this critter hums. Literally hums.

Works well for filling tires and blowing away air. Dont expect to run any air tools with this. The tank is much too small.
