California Air Tools 15020C Powerful 2.0 HP Ultra Quiet and Oil-Free Air Compressor with Wheels, 15 Gallon Tank Capacity, 70 dB Noise Level, Electric, Portable

I had been shopping for a new compressor for a while. I bought my Campbell-Hausfeld 20 gallon compressor in 2016 and never liked it. Slow to fill and noisy as heck. Finally a catastrophic failure in the pump forced my hand to buy a new air compressor. The California Air Tools line caught my attention for their noise rating. After comparing as many compressors as I could, I decided on the 15020C. On arrival I fired it up and did a leak test with soap and water. No issues, so I assembled it the rest of the way. I have been using it for 3 weeks and am pleased with the tank recovery and especially with the low noise. Though I am happy, the product was not perfect. I needed a horizontal compressor for the space I had available. I would have preferred a 20 gallon tank, but California does not make a horizontal thank that size. The one assembly issue I had was when installing the wheels, the plastic where the axle goes through the wheel was about 1/16" too thick. When the axle nut was tightened the wheel would not turn. I used a router bit in my drill press and skinnied the wheel hub by about 1/16" and now I can take my compressor for a walk any time I want. Though it will likely stay in its cabinet. On the pre-assembly test run I thought the decibels were higher than promised. When I installed the air intake filters, the noise came down to the level I expected. I'm happy. Buy one if you need one.

QUIET . doesn’t seem to have a lot of air pressure or volume for filling my truck tires quickly . But it’s quiet so I won’t complain . Second one I’ve purchased from SCAMAZON .

Very quiet. Fills fast

Fit my needs just fine, it is very quiet, holds pressure no problem, and is quick to build pressure. I wish they would extend the drain plug so you can actually reach it. I purchased an extension for the drain valve separately, but at this price range why not just include one?

I replaced a 30 + year old compressor and so far I think it's going to work out just fine. I can actually have a conversation with someone standing next to it while running! I do recommend this product !

This is my third CAT compressor, and I love all three of them. Very quiet, efficient, enough pressure to fill 120 psi cycling tires through a forty foot hose. Easy to drain. No leaks as received. My only complaint about this compressor is the location of the pressure gauges, or rather the direction they face. Have to get down on hands and knees to read them. Easily fixed with two 90° brass fittings if you don't mind invalidating the warranty. OTOH, neither of my other CAT compressors has had the slightest problem, and both are out of warranty. So maybe I'll tempt fate and make the gauges easier to read—and spare my old, overused knees. =^}

This compressor seems to be made of high quality components but as a whole it would not operate as it should. Customer service was great about sending replacement parts but I didn't spend this kind of money so I could repair the compressor nearly every time I used it! It would leak air out of the pressure switch, not release the pressure and airlock - which would heat the motor up and smoke me out of the garage, other times it would not shut off at pressure and pop the release valve. Every time I would get it fixed it would only last a few cycles and then do something else...18 months and it is totally unusable. Waste of money.

Bought this product in September 2015 from Amazon. 2 years in Motor crashed. Motor must be replaced - this part is the most expensive to replace. Will buy a new compressor but not this brand. I'm your typical homeowner and have only used this a handful of times for various chores(air tires, air wrenches, impact wrench etc.)generally once a week or less so this unit hasn't held up very well at all. My last compressor was a Craftsman and it lasted over 20 years and it was still working when I sold it. I'm thoroughly unimpressed and would not recommend buying it. Wish I had my Craftsman back.

Great compressor! I was debating on buying a 60 gallon for my garage. I decided to try this out first and see if it my demands for a home garage for smaller projects. Turns out this compressor meets it all for me. Good cfm, only 110 v, recovery time is great and is super quite.

Efectivamente no hace mucho ruido, hasta ahorita todo bien , solo que siento que el motor se calienta mucho , es la primera vez que tengo una de ellas, no se si sea normal.

Absolutely love this compressor. Very quiet, very nice for working indoors doing renovations etc.

Llego super rápido y en excelentes condiciones, lo mejor de este producto es que casi no hace ruido.

from zero to 150psi in 2minutes .compared to my old craftsman this compressor is super quiet.solid unit.very happy with this buy
