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

The 4710SQ is fantastic. Ive owned many air compressors over the years including large units-and this one is the best. It is small enough to stash on a shelf but has the duty cycle and throughput of many big units that are 5-10 ties the size and cost. I was a bit skeptical about the quitness claims-and figured the unit would need a sound enclosure like every other compressor Ive had. But the claims of quite are true. You can see from the picture that the unit is out in the open and needs no sound enclosure. I have the unit on a remote control so that I can turn it on and off without using the switch on the unit-but have to leave a note on the door to remind myself to turn it off when I leave---it is so quiet I forget it is in the room. Specs-wise, it is everything that the specs claim. My old compressor would trip the breaker if other tools were on because of initial current draw-this unit starts by brining the current up slowly with no step function of draw so the breaker trip problem is gone. ALso, the regulator actually works and I can properly control pressure into my tools.

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.

durable, light weight, very quite and compact in size. No issues on the install. Does NOT come with any hoses or fittings.

I have owned/used air compressors for about 25 years now. This air compressor by far is the quietest air compressor I have ever used! I truly cant believe the absence of noise. I did replace the coupler right away because it had a very slow leak. To be honest the couple was most likely fine and the problem probably could have been solved with a little Teflon tape, but it needed replaced because my tools use a different style coupler. Overall, this is an excellent product and I would purchase another and recommend to everyone who likes to hear themselves think.

Nice little compressor. Quiet and fast. My old one burned up. This seems much more reliable, and definitely quiter.

Definitely a quiet compressor vs similar pancake kinds. I’m amazed. I leave mine on all the time because when it turns on, the noise is more of a slight nuisance than something I can’t even think when louder compressors kick on.

This thing is damn quiet! Ive never had a compressor that you could have a conversation while standing next to it, much less one that actually flows a decent amount of air. It has replaced my 6 gallon pancake compressor completely.

You can probably find cheaper compressors but this unit is so quiet and the recovery time is great. It is not too light but you don’t want to compromise just to save a few pounds. This is the second compressor I’ve purchased from California Compressor.

This thing is great. I also have a 60gal belt drive oiled compressor in my shop. This thing is quieter than the 60gal. So far it has had no issues, I dont see any reason to have any. Its easy to tote upstairs. I got this mostly for nail guns. I used to fill a 5 gallon tank and use that in the house for my nailers. When the nails stopped sinking deep enough, I had to refill. I should have bought one of these years ago. Im happier I got this higher flow model over the single stage ones, supposedly they are quieter. This thing is quiet enough to use in a small room and not worry about bothering other rooms. The nailers are way louder.

A beautiful retro look and ridiculously quiet. I have no idea how long this will last. As others have noted I doubt this thing ought to be transported. So for the pros. This is the quietest compressor I have ever heard. It is a beautiful gray retro luck and a lot of the workings of this visible. So for the cons. This is not the lightest compressor. A lot of the functionality of this is visible so therefore I do not think this would last being thrown in and out of a truck on a daily basis
