California Air Tools CAT-4710SQ 4710Sq Quiet Compressor Gray 4.7 gallons

I have been using the same pancake compressor for about 12 years and the noise has always been unbearable. This new compressor is so quiet I dont even notice it running. I havent used it for anything yet besides a few test drives on my brad nail gun but it seems up to the task. I am absolutely overwhelmed by the quiet. I hope this one last as long as the last one but regardless the silence is worth the price.

This is a gem of a unit. Its quiet and pressurizes the tank very quickly. The controls are heavy duty and made for a shop or field environment.

Very quiet compared to the usual cheap, small compressors, with a lot more capacity. Youre not going to run a die grinder all day, but it pumps up car tires very quickly and will power small tools.

I use it in a barber shop and it so quite you can still talk while it’s on

I use this air compressor for airbrushing and I love it. It not loud at all. Yes, you can hear it but not so loud that its drowns out everything. It doesnt take long for it to fool back up after it kicks on. I highly recommend if you are using it inside a building. It is only a fraction of the sound compared to a pancake air compressor. It is not light weight. So its good for sitting in one spot and leaving it.

Noise level is super quiet. Very easy to have a conversation. Perfect for a small shop. Very easy to carry around, but not so small that its always running! Very well built.

So far its great! Fills quick and operates quietly. The only thing I didnt like is 2 of the 4 nuts holding the compressor on were tight. One was just on the bolt but not tight and one is missing. Not to be found in the box or any bag. So just need to keep an eye on things.

seems well built . I had a bostich pancake compressor before but I could not run it at nights without waking up the neighbourhood. Now I can work at nights because this one is considerably more quiet. love it

Its as quiet as they say, and as light as they say and, yes, the welding is as cheap and poorly done as they say. A reasonable choice if you just need an inexpensive compressor in your garage to inflate the occasional bike tire or blow out a gutter, but not meant for much beyond light, occasional use and not likely something youll be passing on to your kids. If you get a decade of use out of this, youll have gotten your moneys worth.

I was fed up with turning on my old compressor the having to flee the shop while it filled. This is bigger yet fills faster. Quietness was not a bonus for me, it was my primary qualification. This IS quiet, and it’s well-made. What is a bonus is that the condensate drain has a lever, not a hard-and-slow to turn small knurled knob. Very pleased, I should have given the old compressor to charity long ago.
