California Air Tools CAT-4610S Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free 1.0 hp 4.6 gallon Steel Twin Tank Electric Portable Air Compressor, Silver

I love how quite this compressor is

First off, this thing is surprisingly quiet. Everything works great and practically no leakage. After 1 week at full pressure, there was only 1.5lb of pressure loss. There was a small amount of damage which I am not concerned about. You can run this in the house and not disturb anyone. I would recommend an auxiliary air tank though. I used the tank from the dead 20 gallon compressor this unit is replacing. Less than $8 in parts and its a fully functional tank. I spoke with California Air Tools and they told me that this is a 70/30 motor and that I shouldnt run the compressor for more than an hour at a time so the 4 minutes it takes to fill the total 24.6 gallons doesnt worry me. Sure, it takes a little longer to get 20 gallons of air, but my ears arent bleeding while the compressor is running.

Bought this for general home repairs and tasks. It runs much quieter, you really can be in the same room and have a normal volume conversation while it is running. Really like the aluminum tanks, as it makes the unit lighter. If you are looking for a home compressor that fills fast and is quiet, put this on the short list

Ive only had it a month but so far I love it. It is definatly the quietist compressor I have ever used. The people that work around me cant believe how quiet to is. Update= well its been around 4 years and this compressor is great. Almost daily use and not one issue!!!

Not ultra quiet. I dont have a decibel meter, but I do have ears. I really cant fathom how the CAT compressor would be advertised as ultra quiet. I have a oil lube Jun Air that I would call ultra quiet, the California Air Tools compressor noise level far exceeds that of the Jun Air. The California Air Tools compressor is about as loud as loud talking with of course a more annoying tone. I needed some oil free compressed air, so I guess this will do until I can find a used compressor that really is ultra quiet and fits my budget. If you are short of money and time this is an option if you temper your expectations.

This is a big improvement over the usual oil-less compressors available locally. The aluminum tanks reduce weight and allow for easy transport. It has become more difficult over the years to find a gas station that has a working air pump. Most provide hot air in the form of various excuses.

This really meets the claim. It is light and quiet. Tank size is kind of small but the refresh rate is fast. It is so nice to have the compressor comeonand not have to leave the building or even raise your voice.

This is a great value compressor. Very quiet compared to my old one.

Awesome little guy!! Super quiet and a well built unit. The lightest over/under I’ve ever used. The gauges and outlets are well placed. The drain valve is of high quality and easily accessible.

Lightweight and quiet.
