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

Very nice to have, Never have to hear that old job site compressor again! Fast and strong! Great!

Very quiet, reasonable price. Ive heard great things about these compressors and now that Im starting a remodel of my own home while living in it, I finally pulled the trigger on a quality quiet air compressor. So far, its failed on the first job. Attached photo is the power cord once removed- incredibly, this isnt the failure point of the power cord. Fortunately the compressors control box accepts a standard 1/2 strain relief, so if youre handy you probably have a spare cord, crimp connectors, and a proper strain relief to replace the cord on your truck.

I like the weight but it is quiet that is true but not as quiet as the video.

Very quiet. No leaks. Love it!

I first purchased the Bostitch because it came with everything and it was cheap. That thing was loud. This CAT model is quiet compared to the Bostitch. Im glad I made the switch. Now I can get some work done in the garage while the kids are sleeping upstairs.

The quietest compressor I have ever used or heard. It is very quick to fill the tanks. Very happy with my purchase. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Back hose was loose and leaked air went to tighten the bolt barly touched it and it snapped off due to the fittings being glued in. Went to take the one of the tank to match up the size and that one snapped off to due to being glued in guess there not made to be fixed with out pieces being snapped off

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.

I bought this compressor on 10-25-17. I plugged it in and pumped it up to capacity. I thought, WOW.... this thing IS super quiet. Thought I made a great purchase (since it costs a bit more than other units this size), I never even plugged an air hose into it to air anything up. Left air in the chambers (didnt exhaust the air from the tanks), so I guess that caused some kinda of air bubble to go in reverse and lock up the compressor. The compressor kept trying to start (because I left it plugged in). I go to use the compressor and notice the unit is locked up and will not start. I smell a strong odor of burnt plastic so i look at the unit closer (see pics). The unit had locked up and tried to start so much that it had overheated to the point of melting the plastic guard over the compressor. It got soo hot that it almost caught my wall on fire. When I discovered this I called the manufacturer and their customer service agent put me in direct contact with the supervisor without being asked to do so. When I spoke with this gentlemen he asked specific questions and seemed as tho he was trying to place the blame on me for leaving the unit plugged in and not purging the system immediately after use. Im sorry, but I have owned many many compressors over the years and I have never had an issue with any like this. He was pretty non-chalant over the issue to the point where I stated, you dont seem too surprised this happened. His reply was, why would I be, Im the supervisor. This made me think twice. Anyways, at the end, he asked me to send my information and proof of purchase to him in email and he would get another unit out after he could confirm, via tracking number ,that the other unit was on its way back. I sent all info and didnt hear back for 3 days until I had to call him to inquiry about the call tag. So, the unit is now in its way back and Im still waiting on the replacement......i will update when I receive the new unit. Hopefully that was a oddity that wont happen again. I dont have warm and fuzzy feelings about it....just thought I would share my experience.

Love this compressor. I will never go back to old and noisy compressors. extremely quiet, exceed my expectations if it comes to noise. hose adapters are solid, easy to attach and disengaged the hoses. Only the drain valve stick out of the bottom tank little farther then I will like, but ball valve is a big plus.
