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

First 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

wonderful all around air brush to air guns i am a carpenter 30 years

This particular compressor is replacing a Central Pneumocystic* pancake unit that I bought cheap from Chinese Cargo*, which was really only good for inflating bicycle tires sometimes. Not only is the CAT4710SQ nearly silent compared to that thing, it delivers the goods as far as pressure and volume go. I am now happy that I also bought an upgraded air hose (a Giraffe 3/8 hybrid) instead of another craptastic pre-coiled job. It is not lightweight, though. If not purchased through Amazon Prime, the shipping cost would be as much as the compressor itself. I could wish that there was an add-on available for purchase that would allow for a set of wheels to be mounted. Overall, I am very pleased with this unit. Not quite sure what thickness has to do with an air compressor, but I gave it 5 stars for whatever that may be. *not the real name

I have used air compressors in a commercial capacity for decades, now - all brands, all makes. California air compressor makes the best, by far! And, this one (4710SQ) only pulls 7.7 amps while cycling. I have a larger version and a smaller version, also pictured. I work in a lot of RV parks and I get no complaints, at all. FYI, the smaller version 1P1060S is a must for any one that has an RV, for sure

I love the fact that this compressor is really quiet. I can run it in the house without it making a lot of noise. It works as well as other compressors I have used. The only issue (and it is not a big deal) is the weight of the unit. It is fairly heavy and cant be carried any great distance. Since I transport it via vehicle, I can put up with weight. All in all, a worthwhile purchase.

The air compressor is great, as it is very quiet but delivers much better air flow than competitors low noise units.

I was amazed at how quiet it was its just what I needed after using a small and extremely loud compressor that my family complained about how noisy it is , I work on many projects in my basement and just couldnt bare with anymore loud air compressors anymore I also boutique another quiet air compressor thats just as quiet , I can actually turn both of them on whole theyre asleep when Im working late on my projects , Im happy and content with this compressor and how both compressors came without any damages , definitely will recommend to friends and family members of the service and products that are delivered to me .

Quality feels incredible, and is a lot quieter then I was expecting. After turning it on in my living room with the rest of the family opening presents for Christmas, we were all floored how low the noise level was. I hope to edit this review with longevity details as I start using it. ******* update ******** I’ve had my California Air Tool compressor for 3/4 of a year now. My 2020 spring and summer (quarantine) were full of projects. This compressor has been smooth running the whole time. Neighbors and family have all asked to borrow it because of how quiet it is. None of the projects were slowed because the compressor took to long to recharge. So far I’ve used micronpin nailers, Staplers, and 18g Brad nailers. I’m hoping to do my roof and shed next summer, and I’ll need to update again.

Compact and quiet for indoor production use. Have it located under a workbench out of the way. Performs exactly as advertised. Very pleased.

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.
