California Air Tools CAT-4610AC Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free 1.0 hp 4.6 Gallon Aluminum Twin Tank Electric Portable Air Compressor, Silver

Muy poco ruido

I purchased this California Air compressor based on previous experience with the same brand compressor that a friend has had for nearly 8 years. He has had zero issues with his. He drains his every couple of days and blows out the intake filter periodically. That's it. We are building our own house and I'm about to start installing our tongue & groove walls and trim. This compressor is perfect for our needs as it is very quiet and light weight. Don't let it's size fool you as it's a beast and keeps up with air demand perfectly. Just a couple of tips: I mounted my compressor to a small, rolling dolly to easily maneuver from room to room. At the end of each, I hold my air tool upside-down and put a couple drops of 3 In-One oil in the inlet connector and cycle the tool a couple of times to get the oil inside the tool. Doing so helps to eliminate a lot of jams and too, it prolongs the life of the tool. This compressor has been one of my best purchases and I cannot say enough good things about. If you're on the fence about purchasing it, I would say go for it. You will not regret it.

Very quiet!

Super quiet, really happy with compressor.

It’s quiet, lightweight, and meets all of my needs in my home garage / workshop environment where I use it frequently. I have it on a custom-made stand with a 3/8” 100ft retractable air reel mounted underneath it. The hose reel connects into one of the compressor air outputs – and I have a coiled air compressor hose connected into the second output for quickly grabbing and using air around my adjacent work benches. (See Compressor Set-Up pic). I had no hesitation buying this 4610AC as a direct replacement for my original 4610A. It’s marginally more expensive to buy the “A” (Aluminum air tanks) than the “S” (Steel air tanks) but the weight difference makes it more than worthwhile to do so. I will use the frame and air tanks from my original 4610A to add a further 4.6 gallons of air capacity to my set-up as and when needed. I attach a couple of pics showing how this arrangement can work. Those additional bare air tanks can be used in several additive and optional ways in future when a larger reserve air volume is needed. The two bare tanks can even be charged and then easily transported indoors for the odd occasion when I just need a small volume of air to blow something out in the house. Highly recommend this compressor – you shouldn’t be disappointed!
