18-11-2024Quiet as compressor go; leak-free. Good warranty. Top shroud to air filter interference - had to enlarge the slot slightly.

> 3 dayFirst off I’d like to start off by saying, I was really excited for this compressor from California air tools. I can’t speak for their other models, but this is for model CAT-4710SQ. Arrived falling out of the box. Regulator does not work Psi gauge stuck at 20psi having never even been turned on. Solenoid valve broken Take it all off to find the tank and fitting are rusted inside. I bought this for airbrushing and now that I’ve gotten it up and running, it’s really nice. The box it was shipped In was too big and I suspect I got a returned unit. But all in all it runs quiet as advertised. I’ve been airbrushing till 1am and it’s great! If you were to buy an equivalent spec compressor made for “airbrushing” you’d have to spend way more than this. I had to: replace all the fittings to brass - the ones that were on it were steel and already rusted inside Change the solenoid or “electromagnetism” as it’s called in the manual- mine arrived busted-the one on it is fragile so don’t strip Take all fittings apart and put Teflon tape-When it arrived it leaked a lot Replace the regulator-mine arrived broke and a quick trip to the harbor took care of it for under $20 I can’t say yours will need all of this stuff too. But you will have to take this think apart to get rid of leaks. It’s not too hard, but if you’re not comfortable working on stuff I’d go with a different model. I updated this from 1 star to 3 after the frustration of dealing with all of this. It works, But it does get hot asf

23-11-2024This thing is so much better than my old loud compressor. It’s so much quieter and fills faster. I highly recommend this unit if you are a regular home owner and have an old school super loud compressor that you occasionally use. I’m impressed by this unit and thought it was well priced. Make sure to buy the hose attachment with it as it doesn’t include one which is fine.

Greater than one weekIts a compressor; you know what it does. The only question is how loud it is, and Id equate it to a newer garage door or maybe a washing machine. Something that does not cause you to raise your voice in a conversation at all. Perfect for my garage!

Greater than one weekThis compressor is very quiet and actually is not that big. It makes plenty of air for my needs including blowing up tires, some air tools and air brushing. I did not want a large bulky and noisy compressor and this one is just right. I am sure it would easily run air nailers, pop rivet guns, air operated grease gun and other small volume air tools.

> 3 dayseems 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

> 3 dayThis air compressor certainly is quiet! Dont hardly know its on when it cycles. Keeps the pressure up to correct levels for airbrushing or nail gun (intermittent things) but didnt keep up with an air powered sander. Overall it is very useful.
